this is easy---Howe--- Hackett to Bits is not what I like Steve to do---rework a mediocre song

| Howe obviously. Bad song comparison though, Hackett has much better songs to be compared to Howe's. |

GTR - what a sh#tty album. The rehash of what had been committed on an earlier Hackett album was unnecessary, but so was GTR. Sketches' is a lovely little number, so I went with it. ------------- "It just has none of the qualities of your work that I find interesting. Abandon [?] it." - Eno |

Hackett to Bits was the one song I replayed on that forgettable album. However, Gates of Delirium wins over about anything--except maybe Hackett's solo on Neal Morse's 12 (off of "?") ------------- -John |

Sketches in the Sun is a fantastic composition. It could have worked in Yes or Asia as well. It showcases Steve Howe's unique voice, and creates a beautiful atmosphere. Hackett to Bits was better as "Please Don't Touch," on the album of the same name. I have never been convinced by GTR playing it. I owned the GTR album before I knew who Steve Hackett was, and I only knew Steve Howe from Asia.

I actually think there is some good guitar playing on GTR----actually won best guitar album the year it came out from Guitar Player or one of those magazines. It suffers from bad production and a crappy singer. It's about as prog as Asia---maybe a little more like Jeckle and Hyde and Imagining ....

Hackett rehashes a great but old tune, putting more distortion and speed into it. Howe performs a brilliant new melodic piece that has a timeless air to it. Guess which one I voted for? ------------- The world of sound is certainly capable of infinite variety and, were our sense developed, of infinite extensions. -- George Santayana, "The Sense of Beauty" |
