[kj] Geordie's solo album

[ade]

Funny innit - I remember when KJ2k3 happened, many were hoping that Youth wouldn't be playing live,
because, erm, we'd like the bass to be in time/in tune! Now.. well, things are definitely different. Inevitably.

I agree with your point -- and I'm hoping for a healthy bit of creative tension rather than mutual pats on the back. 

But as far as public comments go, I don't know how much we should ever read into them, considering the interests of humo(u)r and self-promotion. If I had such a public working relationship with some of my old friends, I'd be disappointed if they *didn't* jab me in a few interviews as a fat geography teacher. Youth was credited on KJ2003 but didn't want to tour -- that's fine ... then expect some public ribbing! As an answer to "where's Youth on this tour?" that's more entertaining than: "Well, we have two bass players. Raven was more eager and free."

Really? Imagine the politics. I mean, I remember reading articles where Jaz

has slagged Youth off (Geography teacher comments etc), he mentioned what

happened to cause the original split on the Gathering DVD, BPF hasn't been

in the band or really in much contact with Jaz for 20 years from what I

know...I can't imagine under the circumstances that all that stuff just goes

away. You'd feel on tenderhooks if you were BPF wouldn't you? Jaz seems to

be the unquestioned alpha, and alphas don't like sharing their alpha

status...and I wonder what Youth would be thinking? Long time since he was

with them, during which Jaz has said that Raven has better stage presence,

is willing to give more, and Youth looks like a Geography teacher...ouch. A

joke I know, but not one I'd appreciate being on the end of. 



This is all just my perception, from what I have read and seen...but I had a

similar falling out (except we weren't a legendary band, we were just mates

who worked together ;), with my best friend...I was his best man and all.

And I can't imagine ever bothering with him again. I dunno if I'd ever trust

someone again after a major falling out. So...I dunno. I suppose I'd be

surprised if it works well for an extended period of time. There comes a

point where it's extremely easy to say get fucked and mean it.



Really anything could happen...it's one of the few things I'd bother to

watch if it was made into reality tv.

There's gonna be some *serious* expectations of this new album!



I can't see them NOT working as a proper four-piece, all contributing.

Hopefully Youth & Big Paul will counter balance Jaz & Geordie, that's

ASSuming Jaz & Geordie have enjoyed a monopoly since The Big Split, which is

open to conjecture... Personally, I think they have, a little, though

interrupted by irrepressibles like Twatkins' input to Extremities.
