    Johnson vs. Lewinson Percussion Duel on Tour: Should They?
    Thought of this last night...remembered it from the SR site...

    John vs. Pete in a throwdown reminiscent of "Redeye" on Sade's 'Lovers Live' DVD. Would you want to see and hear one on the upcoming tour? Give reasons for your answers. :D

    Percussion. PERCUSSION! :P

    Now you have got my attention, musically. :shock: :shock:

    This crazy Ray Cooper fan, would love to see a percussion duel between John and Pete. :mrgreen:

    :? :? Would that take the focus off the VIP, though? Maybe it could be timed for a costume change, hey?

    Cheers

    Obviously I voted yes...both of these guys have talent to spare and I like to see musicians with talent get to flex their muscle. There's few things more exciting to me than watching two musicians good at their craft exchanging licks and raising their game, feeding off each other's energy and creative juices. The first time I watched "Redeye", my jaw hit the floor and that sucker went on repeat 5 more times before I watched the rest of the DVD. All of Sade's band members just gave their all, exchanging with each other, feeding off each other, raising the intensity measure by measure...and they all looked like they were having an absolute BLAST. I LOVE THAT!!!!! Would give my right arm to see that sort of thing happen during an SR gig, as I know everyone on that stage has the chops to do it (having listened to sessions outside SR). "Something for You" is an alright jam tune, but I want MORE. (Not the track "More" for these purposes--love that tune though, some of you know why. :wink:) Gotta come up with something straight instrumental.

    And being drawn to rhythm as I am, why not start with our smokin' perc section. :mrgreen: Add everyone else in for seasoning. :wink: 8)

    Ahhhh Shannon...you knew this would lure me.:wink: Like you...I love to watch a band throw down. Nothing like friendly competion to keep each other on point. The energy, togetherness, raising the bar. Sade is my #1 gal :!: I have to say "Redeye" was the "bonus feature" for me. Indeed Hot. Pete did his thang. Along with everyone else. And also I could listen to the intro to "Sweetest Taboo" a zillion times. The thunder/lightening and those DRUMS...heaven on earth. Personally, I feel a singer is only as good as the band backing them. Not taking away the spotlight from the singer(they are the center of attraction for a reason). I just feel the band sets things off. I would kill to see SR do 1 jam session on tour.

    Let the duel begin! Hmmm....but who would win the duel? :mrgreen: Pete, John, or too close to call :?: Flip a coin maybe? Both got mad skills! :D Well Shannon, I'm a brass gal but I'm sweet on the percussion. Especially the congas!!! :oops: :wink: Would love to see the fellows give it a go on tour or colaborate on a side project but whatever the case, Don't Stop The Music....

    Later,

    ps. Shannon...there is a DVD I think you might like. I saw last month when out of town. My uncle was watching it and it featured "The Funk Brothers". I believe it was called "Standing In The Shadows Of Motown"(have to check for sure) It was really good. Shows the importance of the musicians of a band.

    Who would win the duel? Who cares??? We just want to watch the sparks fly!!!! :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

    And I've heard good things about this DVD. I will try and find it when finances are a little more forgiving :oops:.

    No man or woman is an island. When there's an ensemble on stage, every member of that ensemble is a crucial piece of the pie. One person can make music...a whole band can make magic. :D

    John - 07.01.2007, 14:43


    Well well we have all been busy haven't we?
    Hi everyone and sorry about my silence the last few days. So you're all still trying to set me up to get blown away by Pete :D I don't know about my mad skills, i think i'm just mad!
    Well who knows, that decision would not be down to us. Must admit it time i buried my head into some practice. I've been so busy sorting out my new place and all the problems that go along with it, i've had very little time. The
    neighbours had better get their cotton wool out.
    One thing i didn't realise was just how transparent the legendary black top was, when i look at it back stage it doesn't look too bad, but the further away you are the more you see. You can always rely on Jean Paul Gautier for something a little out there and although i don't mind wearing it to perform, i don't think i'd be brave enough to wear it out for a night out.
    So tell me what are your likes and dislikes of musicians? Sometimes i must appear rude as i avoid taking pictures and signing autographs. The only reason being that i am quite a shy person and feel a bit stupid when drawn into the spotlight. Friends ask me how i can be shy and yet do the job that i do, but it's different somehow when i'm playing because i'm working, concentrating and vibing off the crowd. I'm no more special than anyone in the audience i just have a nice job and have to do that job in front of others. I believe that everyone's biography or autobiography should be available as all humans rich or poor, happy or sad , famous or not, have an interesting story to tell. So next time i'm out and about i'll be asking you guys for your autograph , deal? :D
    What kind of changes would you like to see at concerts or in the music industry, the sale of music and related products. You guys are the experts in that field and it would be most interesting to hear your views, so feel free, get stuck in and let me know YOUR views :D
    One love ,
    John x

    Good Post John!

    No apologies needed for me in reference to the picture and/or autographs...:lol: .......as the bus rode right past us at Sheff & Birm...so I didn't have a shot anyway :lol: :lol: :lol: But I was fine....what I witnessed on stage was prize enough!
    Anyway, I got your autograph later...thanks to a good friend :).....
    Also, I doubt that anyone would think you were being rude.....now some may doubt that you're shy... :) which brings me to that
    Gautier shirt....I'm with Soosie...here's my vote! :lol:

    In reference to my thoughts on concerts, music industry etc etc,
    I'm going to leave that to Sasred....she'll have plenty to say....pull up a chair... :lol: Then I'll weigh back in....
    Although one point on the concerts, no matter who the performer is, It would be nice to have an afterparty....just to chat and mingle with the band....let you guys hear all that positve feedback! However it's understandable that after all that hard work up on stage....one may be too tired and just want to go HOME!....... :)

    redorro - 08.01.2007, 09:00


    Ah John. Great post. Many thanks. Good to see some reasonable conversations and interesting questions from both sides. The responses may be just as interesting. :wink:

    As Shannon has already alluded to; at the end of the day, when we stand naked in front of the bathroom mirror, :shock: :P we are ALL just vulnerable humans. We have very similar basic needs and wants. We all hurt, we all love and we all feel. And some a little stranger (subjective) than others. :? This celebrity thing, just doesn't cut it with me. :roll: Although, there are a lot of celebrities who bathe in it and become a little carried away with thier own self importance. :roll: But I have to admit the fans do help build these overinflated egos sometimes.

    What am I saying? I do get very nervous when I meet you guys, the band (both female and male) after the concerts and become lost for words. That is my shyness coming out. Though I'm not a big conversationalist anyway. More of an observer of life. But I do love to just sit and chat as a group (fans and band) after a concert and talk about the show and music. I would imagine the adrenalin after a concert is running profusely through you bodies, so an early night probably wouldn't be on the cards. However, I agree with Yolanda, you would be wrung out. :)

    What are just two of my dislikes from performers?
    Those that come on stage in daggy jeans and daggy Tshirts. But hey, we can never accuse 'John the immaculate', of that. :wink:
    Those that come on stage and can't engage the audience through conversation. Those that come on, introduce songs and leave the stage. The audience want interaction. It is all part of the show.

    What do I like from performers?
    A cheeky grin and a lovely smile goes a VERY long way. :wink:
    The performers who demonstrate they are having a good time on stage and not just doing it, 'cause they have to earn the money. Show me you're having a good time. :idea:

    Gee, I do type talk too much. More from me later.

    Pat

    sasred - 09.01.2007, 06:32


    Yo-Yo, are you implying something? :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

    This topic's been hoppin' since I was in last....

    Great post, John!! Breakin' it down here...I don't think Mr. Bean--er, Pete--would blow you away. I think you two might blow everyone else off the stage though!!! :twisted: I know it's not up to you guys (as does everyone else here, I'm sure), but maybe you could put a little bug in Mr. Hucknall's ear? We'd certainly get more "bang" for our concert buck if/when you guys get over here...:mrgreen:

    Neighbours? What neighbours? :twisted: Musicians must practise their craft.

    So that black top is Gaultier? Nice taste!! But yeah, he definitely pushes the envelope. :D

    Likes and dislikes of musicians...I waxed a bit about my likes above. I'm surprised to hear you say you're shy...you were great this summer about signing that stack o' tour books I brought back Stateside, and you've signed other stuff for myself and other friends, they all marveled at how open and warm you were! And you're showing more of that here--it takes courage to put oneself out there online. Maybe it's a trust thing? Or just the numbers involved...it's just a few of us here, and it sounds like all your fan encounters were one-on-one or in small group. I could see where a mob of fans would scare anyone. And performing IS another matter, it is easy to get caught up making the music and taking in the audience as a collective. *sigh* I miss that buzz, actually...need to get my bass chops up and get in a band. :D

    I admire and respect your humility...you saying you're no more special than any of us, that everyone's story is important...just by saying that, you've already proved you're special--you show an uncommon respect for your fellow humans and see how we all make the world go 'round. It's great to see that the music industry hasn't made you lose sight of that. It can be pretty rough, from what I hear.

    My autograph? *laughs* Good luck reading it. Would you settle for a drink on me somewhere, sometime? :D

    Views on concerts, the industry, music sales, etc.....this post has gone on long enough, let me get out my soapbox... :lol: :lol: :lol: As Yo-Yo (knokkak) said, pull up a chair. :oops:



    Re: Johnson vs. Lewinson Percussion Duel on Tour: Should They?

    sasred - 09.01.2007, 07:12


    OK, concerts.
    With Yo-Yo all the way on an afterparty. But I could see where that could get out of hand, with too many people expecting it and trying to attend--it would be overwhelming for you guys. Maybe do it by lottery, only allow so many in by hat draw? *shrugs*
    As far as the shows themselves, Pat's on point, it's great to see a performer PERFORM...to show their love for what they're doing. We get that at every Simply Red gig, that's why some of us fly a long way to see you guys... :wink:
    From our end of the stage, there's been countless debates among the fans as to what is "proper" fan behavior, both during the show and outside the venue. Many of us like to sing along loudly, jump and dance around, carrying on. Others prefer to be able to sit through shows and just listen. Which do you prefer to see as a performer, John?

    Of course, there's the irritation of VIP's who aren't even true blue fans sitting in front of you or behind you talking through the concert and shushing you, telling you to sit down...had that at Liverpool this summer, boy did they make me hot!!! Thankfully some hardcore fans were in front of me...strength in numbers, eh? :lol:

    Outside the venue...sooooooooo many music artists are "untouchable"...they play the gig and split, never interacting with the fans. The more popular they are, the more this seems to happen...which makes sense, imagine if even half of a 70,000 seat venue tried meeting the band after. But it turns the artists into objects. They cease to be people and start being these mythical figures. It's why I don't really follow big-name acts (U2, The Rolling Stones, etc.). I respect their talent...will watch them on DVD or whatever...but I like to know more about the musicians behind music, it is a human endeavor, PEOPLE make it. I'm not one who deals well with the superficial in any arena of my life, and I'm certainly going to stay away from it in the area of my passion.

    This is why I like it here so much. And why this summer will live forever in my memory. Having my favorite musicians be able to put face to name...talking about things we ALL experience...sharing knowledge, playing tips, the passion of music...I can't express enough how special that is to me. And I'm sure others here feel it too. Simple human connections--they feel great! And it's what would be fostered by the afterparty idea, I think. Is it possible?

    On CD's...several here have seen me rant on this before. I lament the trend in society (particularly American society) of everything becoming temporary, disposable. Tracks available as download only? I'm not keen on that. I LIKE reading liner notes, where you get to see who all contributed to the recording, and sometimes get reflections on the music from the artist. I like the pictures. They show who worked on the music--or if it's all artwork, indicates a bit about the personality of the artist. Liner notes are tangible. You can touch them, look at them, display them, file them, whatever. You can take them along to a gig and get an autograph from the person who made the CD, if you're lucky. You can't do any of that with a download.

    And I won't even go into the archival implications of downloads.

    Singles...I lament the loss of the proper B-side. Is it really necessary to have 15 remixes of a track? They cease to have any of the character of the original track after a while. For me, as a collector, all those remixes give me no incentive to pick up the single. A non-album track would (and did many times over in the case of SR). BRING BACK THE B-SIDE!!! :D

    The music industry in general...makes me sad to see how competitive it is, creativity should not be subject to competition. Each artist is simply expressing a part of themselves. Either people lock in with that expression or they don't. There's something out there for everyone. Unfortunately, the corporate bigwigs only seem interested in marketing to a certain age group (and probably socioeconomic status as well). Musicians with merit often get passed up for plastic, moldable pop fluff.

    Thankfully the Internet is allowing those with talent to get their work out there on the cheap. :D

    In summary, I'd like to see human performers making more connections with human fans, less competition in the music industry (and among the fandoms as well!!), and proper releases of music that allow enjoyment for generations to come. Everyone enjoying the beauty and power of music together. :D I sound like a right hippie, don't I? :lol:

    There's my two cents and twenty dollars besides. :lol: :lol: :lol:

    Neeeext???? :shock: :oops:

    Finally my little 2 cents...

    As for the duel, I really could careless who wins because both guys are winners in my book. Just being able to watch you both throw down would be a pleasure. Fully aware it is not up to you guys but oh...what a nice dream. Who knows maybe another time or place. Would be interesting though to be a fly on the wall and watch you all during rehersal. At this point though I'll just be happy to finally see you guys on tour. Plus John, I must see this infamous black top in the *flesh* :oops: From pics, black really flatters you.

    John, as far as your reason for avoiding pics/auto I don't think you're being rude. I can believe you are shy. I can relate. I don't like being put on the spot either and I generally shy away from attention. Sometimes I seem standoffish but it just takes me time to interact with people I don't know. Those who know me can vouch that I'm really down to earth. I'm not really a talker anyway. Been more of a listener/observer. Plus I prefer in the flesh interactions. A person's body language says alot to me. I also prefer smaller group settings verses hugh crowds. John, I really respect your humility and you're right. Everyone is a VIP. You have such a positive outlook.

    As for the music industry, my dislikes, Well Shannon summed up in a nut shell how I also feel about CD/downloads & creativity/competition. I also don't like the celebrity thing one bit! . I don't like when celebrities get a swollen head. As if the world revolves around them. :roll: Like they are larger than life. And I'll never understand the vying for attention and competition among fans. :?


    What I do like are musicians who do what they do because they live and breathe music. Not because of the money, fame, status, and all that comes along with the music bizz. Whether they are playing in front of a packed house, selling out huge crowds or playing to a smaller audience with empty seats they are going to give a 100% performance.

    I also agree with everyone else. I think it is important for fans/band to interact occassionally. Afterparties, private gigs, contests. etc. I think appreciation goes both ways. It would be great if both parties came together to get feedback and just have fun and let their hair down.

    Oh...well that is all for now. :D

    Truly,
    Queenie 8)

    Yeah...this was a subject I found quite interesting. I have my opinions but I also would really like to know how you as performers feel.

    Rest assured all, if i ever get the opportunity to do my own show or if i had the good fortune to sell well i'd try bring a different style to gigs and the whole artist/ supporter relationship. As i've said before , you can't please everyone all of the time, but it's nice to show you're appreciation and make the people who support your career feel special. Why, because they are. Some fans will not stop and will overstep the mark, but you can usually see that pretty quickly in people, some are nuts plain and simple :lol:( trust me i speak from experience), most are everyday people like us all, showing their appreciation.
    Strange thing is i very rarely go to gigs and when there is someone on that i like, i usually end up finding out a week after they played, oh good :lol: .

    Thanks for taking our thoughts into consideration, John. You don't have to tell us there's fans that take it too far...we're all well aware. :wink: I'm sure there's some who perceive me to be in that category. It's all a matter of perspective. But I think there are some who are just plain mad no matter who's looking. It's that thing of turning the artists into objects...objects don't have feelings that need to be taken into consideration. If more fans would think about how their targets of appreciation might feel about how they're being treated, maybe they'd cool the engines a bit. I know I've certainly done.

    Right, I need to quit doing this:


    ...and acknowledge that these sorts of ideas are just my opinion. :oops:

    Sorry that you don't get to see gigs by your favorite artists often...this is the age of the Internet, why don't you sign up for their newsletters? That way you'll get notice of gigs and such in enough time to plan for them, if possible.
