The Steven Wilson Thread (psychedelic, rock, myspace, classic, quote)

[mrguy]

He might me an arsehole, but his music is brilliant. I don't think his presonality really matters at all, and even if it does, you can best learn about it through his music, or actually knowing him personally.
Apparantly some guy went up to SW after a gig and did the "I'm your biggest fan speech" and he also said "I own all your records and I don't even own a record player!" SW called him a wierdo poor guy.


I am too excited about this news about solo projects and whatnot. There are also reports of the guy from Dream Theater working with SW and the Opeth guy

Where? Please, give us some link

Well, Steven is Steven and I like him. I can judge only from Youtube interviews but what I hear I mostly like. He speaks how he wants to speak and not so many people do it. Yes, sometimes it sounds like "hey, I am different and better than you poor guys" and sometimes something is too much - like for example damaging of IPods. I don't own Ipod and I don't need it. I agree with Steven in this - I don't shuffle tracks, I want to listen to all album from the beginning to the end. But to damage Ipods is exaggerated in my opinion.
I don't agree with everything what he says but on the other hand I have some opinions the same like Steven. But I am not able to say it as accurately as him. His interviews are very interesting and his english is also perfect. I understand his speaking very well although I have mostly some troubles with understanding of english.
