Steven Wilson a hater?

Just FYI, Wilson does not do any remastering.  He doesn't even get his own albums mastered at all.  When he does remixing projects (like Crimson, Yes, and ELP) he recommends that they not be mastered at all, though I think those bands all have them remastered anyway to some degree, after he does the remix.

really when does that actually ever happen? I only have preferences. His first 4 solo albums are magnificient but I am now starting to lose interest in what he does. Sorry but was is the point of a forum if you can't state whether you like something or not?

And also please read my original post when I made it very clear that he can do exactly what he likes. 

And SW would come off like a young kid when it came to FZ and his well known escapades into his opinions.

For starters, you can always put down your guitar and CONDUCT the band the rest of the show ... yeah, I bet that SW has the ability to even consider that option!

Like FZ, I don't think it is "hate" ... it's more opinion than anything else, and I kinda think that using the word "hate" is a bit harsh ... SW is smart enough to know that spreading "hate" is not a good thing. He's been around the world, and seen a lot ... and I'm pretty sure he knows better!

But at times, there are some fans that you really want to ask them to leave, because at times, it is getting ridiculous. But then, this is the commercial/industrial days of rock music ... the institution and the conglomerate is more important and some of the fans are their spokespeople ... and how the band handles it often defines how good and intelligent the band is.

Try that on a Bob Dylan ... or some other giant. You'll regret it!

All you have to do is go see LET IT BE again, and the hero thing dies out real quick ... and there are/were some wonderful things in it ... a lot of folks hated John and Yoko, yet, watching the two waltz in the film ... you can't help go ... that's neat! I can remember some folks at the theater saying ... that's stupid ... folks don't waltz to rock music!

How's that for being stoned?

All of the Beatles had said and showed a lot of stupid things ... and their comments were, sometimes, taken out of context, too ... go listen to the 7 Christmas shows, so you can see how they easily can distort a word or sentence into something else ... something that was a part of comedy with THE GOONS, which all 4 of them were aware of, as they were on the air through 1964 and then in repeats for at least 10 more years. These guys knew a lot more than we know, which might even suggest that George made that comment about being a Beatle ... a bit out of English humor ... something that we would not understand, and in fact, a lot of folks love to say that it's not funny ... they would rather see the cardboard stage shows with a laugh track so the American audience knows when to laugh! In George's case, he probably had a giggle rolling on the floor at that one! But we think it is serious ... and while it may not sound as pretty or as good, and George was known to have a mean streak (according to Patti's book), in the end, I'm not sure that George would use his ego that far ... it would render all his eastern bullsh*t into the crapper real quick ... like saying he was a fake, anyway ... and I'm not sure that George was a total fake. Even though I think that Patti did not care for it. I kinda think she was too much of a doll ... and there was a side here that was not for dolls or toys. Or could be hidden in makeup!
