Got my "Turners" mixed up on this one. The band was never the same without Ted Turner as his Strat was such a good mix with Andy's Flying V. Martin here was the bassist I see, but as the vocalist of the tunes he wrote "insipid" comes to mind with good reason. Oh well, LIVE DATES remains one the best live albums of all time.

It is a very underrated work. It may not be as great as the masterpiece War of the Worlds, but Spartacus manages to be a good album. And the cast? It's gracefully well done, the narration by Anthony Hopkins. Edit: It deserves a reissue, as on vinyl, accompanied with some studio outtakes, bonus tracks (some remixes that are released in promotional editions), demos... Things that were made for War of the Worlds.

A very underappreciated piece! Spartacus is simply excellent. Different to War of The Worlds, but then again, why should it merely be the same? It has its own unique character.

Disagree, this is a load of bull-plop. Bands have always had splits and the music went on. Personally I’m glad Andy Powell carried it on, have seen them and the music is still awesome.

Civilian isn't bad at all, just different. I actually think it's a pop album with a nice touch of weirdness (some atonal chords, a bit of polyrhythms here and there etc.).

I saw Andy and his band a few years back and I had a great night. Really enjoyed it. I'm probably a lot younger than some of the people here but I enjoyed it for my part. Its sad to have two camps and all of that. I can understand people's perspective who grew up in 70s or werw fans from the beginning and so on but for my part Andy's been kind ,supportive and inspirational as a guitarist and musician. So yeah. I get where people are coming from here but I'm happy to go see Andy and his guys do their thing as well and I'm sure I'd enjoy it again . I kmow its different for me being younger (in my 40s) but I just thought I'd throw my hat in the ring with a little support for them. I can appreciate where people are coming from here though. I have that perspective with other bands where I was there at their peak and things have subsequently changed .

I've seen various members of Gentle Giant interviewed many times here on KZbin and it always seems like the people doing the interviews aren't really prepared. They either ask the same questions that have been asked by literally everyone, and anyone who knows the band already knows the answers, or they aren't really that familiar with them to begin with. Everyone in this band was extremely talented and they're music is extremely interesting and original yet no one seems to be able to ask truly relevant questions or come at the interview from a different perspective

Saw Andy’s band twice in past 7-8 years.The shows were good. Obviously the original band was best. I thought the vocals back then were superb. Andy, Martin , Ted & Steve blended well. I thought Andy & Ted’s twin leads were awesome. One thing bugs me. Andy & Martin have terrible teeth. Surely y’all can afford a dentist 😂
@philipbaker870710 ай бұрын
For me, Wishbone Four in 73 signalled the end of the best. First saw them at the Subs in Stroud & Bardsney in Lincoln in 1972 when they were at their exciting best. Steve Upton on the drums was another Ginger Baker sensation but then they fell apart in 74. I thought I'd missed out, until years later I watched performances on KZbin, and realised they'd become a poor tribute band of the pre 74 originals. I still have my Wishbone, Argus, Live Dates & Wishbone 4 LPs & the CDs to fall back on & play in the car today. Always thought Martin was a brilliant bass, stretched as a singer. The sound, pitch & performance must track the originals.

So, according to Martin, its not ok to sing vocals you didnt write because you cant do it with feeling, but you can use any guitarist to play the notes you didnt write and you can do that with feeling. This guy is so full of shit it is ridiculous. And Mart should re-name his band to No Service Dogs Allowed, because the dogs would start howling and make better notes than he does.

What Martin says about Andy Powell playing WA with his guys is exactly what I feel hearing it. He makes decent albums though. But on stage it feels really poor and lifeless, especially the old stuff. I'm happy Martin came back to play it properly.

Sounds like sour grapes to me. I don't think Martin expected Andy to carry on and succeed with strong material and tours. Martin didn't believe in the band and left, and got bitter when Andy continued effectively. I don't understand people saying Martin is the soul when he didn't have enough soul in the band to believe carrying on in the first place. I saw AP Wishbone a few weeks back and it was still tight and a well oiled machine.

Spartacus is a very different beast to the WOTWs. At first l hated it hearing it for the first time after l was so familiar and a huge fan if WOTWs. I thought this is awful. It eventually grew on me when l distanced it from WOTWs and l absolutely love both albums now. Both masterpieces in their own way. This virtually unknown album is sadly very underrated and underappreciated IMO. I hope Jeff leaves it alone though because l hated what he did with the new generation of WOTWs.

I went to a concert of Wishbone Ash in the nineties, and I was so surprised to see Martin Turner on stage (it was in the First Rock Café). For me, Wishbone Ash without martin IS NOT Wishbone Ash. Since he created Wishbone Ash with Steve Upton, I feel that it is a shame to be ousted from the band you created. Wishbone Ash being my favorite group since 1973, when I discovered them, I think that it is a big pity, both for the band and for us, when Martin no longer was with them, and the departure of Laurie Wisefield is another painful event. Steve Upton was such a great drummer! When You take off 3 members of a 4 members band, how could it be the same band?
