Special Q & A with Ed Bicknell - DISCUSSION THREAD

[Robson]

Guy was only here for two posts ranting about In Ear Mix Bootlegs in 2008. Jack Sonni had a thread about his book where he posted for a while and answered questions.

I need to find and revisit those memories. Thanks LE:)

[hunter v2.0]

Tommy Mandel has also written on here, I think.

[Love Expresso]

Yes, I was not sure if it was him or Joop de Korte . Thanks!

LE

[Robson]

I think it's Joop de Korte.

Tommy Mandel also.

And, er, Guy's wife.

The IEM incident was hilarious.

[rmarques821]

Tommy Mandel was here and I remember him saying that he composed the Romeo and Juliet ambient orchestration on keys during the outro, in the LoG tour.
I love that piece of music that leads to the classical guitar solo and I'll always be thankful to him.

Please, I missed that part at the time, could you summarize what the issue was regarding the 2008 IEM recording?

This arrangement is pure gold, I love every second of that unique atmosphere.


He once wrote me a huge text telling me all his memories during his time on the LOG tour 82/83, at the time I posted it on my blog Universo Dire Straits, it's very similar to what he posted here, maybe there are some other details. Great guy, without a doubt.

During the 2008 Tour some IEM recordings popped up and one idiot posted about his RAH recording at Guy's forum which made the Management and Guy fume. He logged in here (("Hi, Guy here from the band..") and stated that they hated it and that they thought about consequences and wanted the recordings to be deleted. They even cancelled the Meet&Greet (at least) in Cologne because of this.  It happened not only at the RAH and people were obviously able to hack into the frequencies of the IEM mixing desk but they reacted and made it impossible to do it later on.

Never knew about Guy's wife but of course the admits have much more insight into this matter.

Not really, was a public post, of course as with anything on the internet it might not be real.

I'm trying to find this and can't.

Maybe it happened over at the MK News forum and not here? Mandela effect?!

It was MK News, so we can remove Guy from the list of AMIT contributors

[Love Expresso]

Yes, thank you. AMIT started at August 6th, 2008. The tour was over then so of course we could not find it. Thanks for the MKNews link!

A couple of thoughts I had on the original topic:

1) No wonder EB doesn't want to write a book. How can you even name such a book when the man can jump from garden gnomes and death threats to colonic and shrinking balls in a few sentences? Ed's fisheye lens perspective and boundless humour are something I can't imagine in the book scenario, to be honest. That's why I prefer having a YouTube channel, which grows and evolves through time.

2) I'm still a little bit confused about how MK can be described as a guy who avoids conflicts, stress, confrontation at all cost, etc., and at the same time described as this tyrannical leader who fires people left and right, insults his bro, scolds musicians and ignores his mates. Something's wrong here as if we are talking about two different Marks. Maybe, there are two Marks after all.

Or maybe it's just like music vs. music business, music vs. sport, pop music vs. art debates, etc., and duality in this world is inevitable.
