Reeves Gabrels

Bob going through 80+ live recordings saying he wants 0-8 seconds of Alone solo from Madrid, 9-23 seconds of Alone solo from New York night 2, 24-45 seconds of Alone solo from Mexico...etc.
At current work rate, that'll put the album release back to around 2028.

Very worrying if they're not happy with what was recorded in the album sessions.

Ha! that's funny...  

I might be thinking of another new song, but doesn't he strap on a guitar 3/4 of the way thru the song and play a little soloy bit near or at the end of Alone?

He only plays solos if they're called for. Otherwise I'd call them fills. Riffs even.
I do love how he's coloured the band's sound over the past few years without making it all about him.
Porl's last stint was all wah wah pedals & not a lot else. Maybe to cover for the lack of keyboards at the time. RG knows when to let loose & when to pull back a bit.
That's not to say Porl was bad. He was just different. As were The Cure at the time.

This is so much what I appreciate about RG's playing w/ TC. It takes great instinct/judgment, respect for the musicians you're working with, and sometimes restraint, not to get carried away and keep things in balance, for lack of a better descriptor. It's just enough...

A time and place for everything.

I would love to go but it's on my friend's birthday and we're taking her out. Enjoy. Pssst you might get to say hello to Susan and Reeves. Say you're a tccr. They are lovely.
