SPULCIANDO SUL SITO:
How did you come about to working on Queen's 1991 album INNUENDO. Your
Spanish acoustic piece on there is short but it really defines the title
track.
"I was in Geneva working with Paul Sutin and we had a day off or something,
something else was happening. So I got in the car and drove to Montreux and
I was just wandering around and thought I'd stop and have lunch. So I was in
this restaraunt that was a little bit below the pavement. I was sitting
there and then this huge guy walked by called Martin who'd worked for Yes,
Martin Groves, and he saw me there and I saw him and we kind of lept up and
he says, 'Well, look, the guys [Queen] are in the studio,' and he was only
down the road, 'Why don't you come in?' I was going to come by and see if
anything was going on because Queen took over Mountain Studios which was
originally a studio build built to record Montreux jazz, a terrific studio.
So they invited me down.
"Well, I walked in and Freddie, Brian, and Roger Taylor were sitting there
messing around writing stuff and they were friendly, 'Come in, sit down, and
listen to the album which we're just making.' So they started playing me all
these tracks like 'I'm Going Slightly Mad' and 'I Can't Live Without You'
which has been in my mind ever since, I still play it, it's such a powerful
paradoxical description of life. And then they played me 'Innuendo' and I
go, yeah, heavy metal flamingo! And then Brian says, 'Look, I'd like you
play on this,' and I said you're joking, it sounds great, leave it like it
is, and he said, 'No no no, I want you to play on it, I want to you to play
really fast, I want you to run around the guitar a lot.' So within a couple
of hours I tested some of his Gibsons, Chet Atkins classical solid body
guitars, and found one that I helped balance the strings because he wasn't
sure how to balance the volume between the different strings which is the
important thing to do on those guitars. So I got up and running, we did a
few takes, we edited it a little bit, we fixed up a few things, then we went
and had dinner. So we went back to the studio and they said we really really
like this and I said fine, let's go with it. So I left very happy. I'd
worked with people who were diehard Queen people, and a funny thing happened
a little while later, I was on a ferry going to Holland and on this ferry
which takes a long time, five hours, were the Queen fan club, all going to
Rotterdam to a Queen event, and a couple of them saw me and they came racing
over and they said, 'You're Steve Howe! You're on "Innuendo"!' And they all
came out of the room, sitting around talking and things...and my memories of
Queen will always be emotional because they were a great band and it was
just great, it really was a thrill to be part of that, and thanks for asking
me."

Leggo e posto da solo... scusate!
Did you know the band prior to this?
"There was a certain studio in London called the Townhouse, it was actually
a Virgin studio, and they were there a lot, we were there, and we'd meet
them, and run into them, and Freddie liked my roadie a lot, and of course
Freddie was a friend, so they were always in and out of the studio. Brian
has always been most polite and a sort of dedicated guitarist so we've
always had a great deal of respect for each other. So there's always just
been some friendship between us, and it's important to me, it's quite
important."

Sono dei fenomeni, e a mio avviso i Queen dei primissimi album devono loro
qualcosa...

Ma sai che stavo pensando la stessa cosa? Ascolto Roundabout, o Close to the
edge, o And you and I, e sono gli unici pezzi mai ascoltati che mi ricordano
Queen, Queen II e Sheer heart attack...
Valgono davvero la pena di essere ascoltati, grazie a The Practical Observer
per i consigli...

 per i consigli...
E di che? Comunque sono tpo per gli amici ;) (che cosě si risparmia anche
sull'usura dei polpastrelli ^__^)

Te posso chiamà Fortunà? :P
See ya soon

A me č piaciuto anche moltissimo The Yes Album. Il primo cd che ho comprato
č proprio il primo che hanno fatto self-titled: bello anche quello con molto
jazz e una splendida cover dei Beatles. Lo sapevate che anche Led Zeppelin e
Deep Purple facevano cover dei Beatles? Gemello, te lo immagini Bonzo a
suonare come Ringo Star...?! Sottotitolo: Come spaccare il rullante in un
colpo solo.....PAH!!! :-P
Dan

 colpo solo.....PAH!!! :-P
Ce l'ho e devo dedicargli un po' di attenzione.
Sulle cover dei Beatles non lo sapevo...però posso comprendere. Me lo
immagino Bonzo a randellare il povero rullante suonando Love Me Do. Avrà
avuto una batteria à la Portnoy, in modo da avere sempre qualche pezzo in
sostituzione! ^__^
Ma quindi, dato che voglio mettere su una Beatles tribute band, avrò lo
stesso successo e la stessa abilità di Paice e del Bonzo (del quale spero di
non condividere la fine...)? ;)

 non condividere la fine...)? ;)
Con tutto l'affetto, credo proprio di no!!! ;-)
