Comments by Greg Antonelli

"Oh and while we're on the subject of posthumous fame I felt I needed to post this because it is from one of my favorite shows and I crack up laughing every time I see it. I still can't figure out how to post videos so click here to see Dave Chappelle's take on Tupac's posthumous career. I don't think it's edited for language :\. Sorry about that."

"I've heard about those and I understand how finishing the pieces would be a hard decision to make. My problem with this is, Jackson supposedly finished the recordings in a way he liked and now Sony is editing, cutting, adding, etc. If people want to complete a composition in a similar style to a composer, like an alternate movie ending, I can understand that more than taking something that is complete and messing around with it. Also since Jackson's death was fairly recent I think it is, unfortunately, more about the money."

"This is one of my favorite bands. They are hilariously inappropriate. I don't know if anyone has ever seen "Pick of Destiny" but it's kind of based off of "Tribute". It's about how the two of them try to get a pick made of the devil's tooth. They feel the demonic influence will help them write and play rock masterpieces (eventually they settle for a bong made of the devil's horn). I don' know if this is the first thing I thought of when I heard Wooten speak but now that I think about it the movie does go into the topic of getting over nerves, releasing "baggage", and practice."

"I really love this song. In fact I like pretty much everything Jason Mraz writes (don't judge haha). This song in particular is just so true to life. Balance and harmony can be found in almost everything we do. It's funny because Mraz at one point in this song says it takes silence to make sound, where Victor Wooten said he plays sound to make everybody silent."

"I'm always interested in seeing live music. I love going to little clubs like that even though I don't get to as often as I'd like. I thought the musicians played very well. They were technically proficient and had a very good sense of ensemble and balance. That being said, I am not a big fan of the modern style that the pieces were written in. I prefer a more melodic piece or seeing improvised music like jazz. I don't hear much development in a lot of modern music. To me it sounds like short fragments and ideas repeated over and over. I'm sure it takes a certain skill to develop pieces like that and to pull them together as a group but It isn't my cup of tea."
