Gotta love Steven for making a '70's record in the 10's
I think opeth did too
Man, Marco is an amazing improviser. 3:34 You can tell that he's coming up with the parts on the spot. He even caught Steven off guard with the 4/4 transition, which I bet he didn't play before.
He does that a lot with other bands, especially with the Aristocrats. He doesn't even have a chart here and he's playing the parts differently every time.
It's actually amazing how he can still sound good while doing that. It's actually quite difficult.
This isn't the same solo as the final studio cut, so it's pretty obvious Guthrie is improvising every solo. Awesome.
Are you talking about the drummer
@@behindthen0thing525 Guthrie Goven is the guitarist.
2:05 Holy shit. I finally figured out where he gets is guitar power from. Look at his mouth during the the solo. He's chanting an incantation. The dude is actually a god damn wizard.
Allan Parsons mixing!! Guthrie Govan, Marco Minnemann.... like Christmas time!
I love how at 3:37, Steven is frantically tapping his foot to stay in time.
An interesting thing I've noticed about Guthrie soloing, he moves his mouth while soloing almost like he's literally singing through the guitar. Like if he was born with a good voice he would have used it to express himself but he can't so he uses the guitar.
Yup! I don't get how people don't like Steven Wilson...
this is gonna be the best album of 2013 i'm sure
I was introduced to Steven Wilson through Porcupine Tree through Rush back in '07 when Lifeson played the solo on Anesthize. Both Rush and Wilson are what music is all about: integrity.
Nick Beggs is hilarious!
The video is so dope that it's 4:20
Nice
Fcking hell Marco playing in Flip Flops hahahahaha what a beast :-)
"Was it just me that lost it then?"
::looks around blankly::
HAHAHAHAHAHA
Great comedy from SW.
i love when at the end Steven looks around like: "and now what?"
'what happens now' :)
(Especially) Guthrie Govan and Marco Minnemann always fascinate me! No matter, which video... Each one is an absolute pleasure and a guarantee for addiction! I totally love this music (as a prog "metalhead") and this deep atmosphere within it! If music was a language, then THIS is amazingly eloquent!
(Why the hell did youtube change the rating system?! I´d give SIX stars for this!) ;)
Raven is just an incredible masterpiece. For me, it sits with Selling England by the Pound and Ummagumma as THE most amazing musical achievements of the last 100 years (ya I know, I forgot jazz and Tool)
Was this album all recorded live?!
I have a feeling this album will be a masterpiece
You were right.
Kinda hard not to be with these guys. Basically a supergroup.
I'm already lovin' it... Thank's for posting this!
What a fantastic footage!
can't wait to buy this! thank you for all of these snippets.
This sounds so amazing.
What a great group of musicians, Love to see all this recording stuff.
Love these videos.....
This is simply wonderful
It's thrilling to watch these videos again after hearing the mind blowing album!
The artists, the tunes.. This is incredible!
I'm so incredibly stoked for the release!
More please!!!!
Awesome on so many levels!
I love how happy and playful and appreciative of each other they all are. This is what makes great music. :)
yiaaah agreeeeee
I can't wait to hear this track in its entirety!!! As well as, can't wait for the next SW album with all these guys on it. It's so refreshing to hear music that is truly progressive...
If the music sounds this good, I can only imagine what the lyrics must be like. Those have always been incredible from Steven Wilson. Dear God I can't wait
First album I'm going to preorder. I'm so excited.
Oh my god! This sound...AMAZING! Steven is on a creative peak right now and something tells me his new album is going to blow our heads off!
Love that you got a clip of the ping pong in here! Come play again anytime :)
I just love how professional they are, playing these complex music and make it looks easy! also the good humor between them..HOPE I DONT FALL OVEEEEER AAA!
This is such a fantastic bunch of musicians!!! I'm so happy I saw them live in 2013 during the Raven tour!!
Increible ya espero el sigiente disco y para las ansias a comprar get all you deserve! Grande steven!
Sounds freakin AMAZING!!
looks like so much fun
Steven is so funny. Damn, I'm getting excited for this album :)
That transition from room mic to the recording was specially nice... I wish that stayed in the album.
What a lineup! Should be awesome!!
MOAR
Steven Wilson Rules!
This is the new face of prog! Inventive, refreshingly surprising , intelligent and emotionally charged!
Thanks for such beautiful music!
From what I've heard so far, this doesn't just sound like an amazing album... It sounds like THE amazing album.
Steven Wilson's so good, he's both playing and in the recording booth taking care of the mixing.
Holy macaroon, Guthrie! That.... was TOTALLY amazing!!!! Please say you're going to be part of the live band as well. And thank you, Steven, for letting us get these glimpses of the creative process. Really looking forward to the album!
Awesomeness!
Awesome... amazing...
damn, three of my favorite musicians are going to be on this album, my god i can't wait!!! >
Dude that's so weird, that's how I was introduced to PT! Through the Lifeson solo in Anesthetize, i then listened to the actual song and it became my favorite PT song to date.
Govan was such a great addition. I'm already more excited for this one than I was for GfD.
Great stuff.
Marco is really starting to shine here! And I wasn't his biggest fan when they played live, to be honest. And just the whole band in general. This is some truly great stuff
Go Stevie!!!
Sounds fucking great !! Cant wait to hear the final stuff !!
helllooo king crimson! sounds amazing
this album is EPIC, the best conteporary album !!! greeting from Chile !! (sorry for my english)
My godness, it seems that it'll turn out nicely eventually - '70s vibe like hell!
Making a history!
We are in front of the BEST group of musician EVER!
wow!!! when is the album coming out!
isn't enough dozens of amazing Porcupine Tree albums and 2 amazing solo albums? are we watching the construction of another masterpiece by Mr. Steven Wilson?
love this,,,,sounds a bit like Shine On You Crazy Diamond in parts,,and thats no bad thing,Steven Wilson keeping prog alive,brrrrillliant!
Dear god, this sounds fucking amazing.
Baseline sounds a lot like Shine On. Lovin' it.
Perfect Christmas Music :D
Clearly you haven't heard the solo for Drive Home yet. I love Vai, don't get me wrong, but God Guthrie just kills it in that song
Sweet!
This album is going to be so fucking good.
I got the same vibe from this!
Nothing beats the sound of a Hammond Organ
The mighty hammond organ!! like it!
Marco = Beast Mode Activated
I just want to understand, you are not a fan of "million notes per second", right? Exactly this happened to DT. I like them a lot and have heard them live several times, but they "evolved" to that, pure technique without soul. This SW album is fantastic. It has what DT is missing now. I hope you bought it, it doesn't disappoint.
Goooooöd!
damn it! i can't stop watching the shit out of these videos. i need this album NOW!!! Oh February where are you? :(
This album is gonna be so awesome I think I'm gonna be sick once I have a listen....
First 20 seconds reminded me of spinal tap's Stonehenge :) This is pretty damn awesome!
I love you.
Can we stay at 0 dislike for this brillant artist ?
wtf, where did the guitar solo go at like 2:15 ? i saw the same video last week and it was there !! came back here just to hear it again... damn it !
I know that with most pop stars, they go to a studio and record, and someone is mastering it. Steven Wilson is clearly very competent with music. He writes the parts for all of the instruments, but is he also doing the sound engineering and producing the album?
Yes he does. He also did production for other bands (opeth)
good i love Sounds.... :B
at home, watching this vid
I broke out laughing it when Steven was looking around to see if anyone else lost it
Also, these videos make me proud that I use ATH-M50s
I would qive my soul to be in this place
I hear a few measures reminiscent of PFs "Shine On...." in the solo section. I like
Steven Wilson and Guthrie Govan? Well, that's a sight to see.
Marco has the most infectious laugh ever.
Nick Beggs has the best humor.
Guthrie humbly sets the world straight with a guitar solo AGAIN
True :)
@Eray Uygun I agee. If he did joined DT then I would have never gotten to see his amazing drumming with Steven Wilson's band.
which three in particular?? Hard to choose because everyone in this group is a phenom
Album of this millenium
Loving the Crimson vibe :3
This shit will be fucking awesome!!!!
3:00 super funny))))
