Thanx Ian and can I just say your band jethro Tull has been revered the world over glen cornick being a great the same as those others that made up the band ? Your family will be remembered always ! In the north east when you mention family I totally agree I've seen you greeting your family as they greeted you and the band ! We won't 4get glen or any of you but the thanx 4 the greatest live gigs I've ever seen ! The loves as strong as it's always been the mark of jethro Tull will not be bettered I think ! Cheers man I'm still listening now after I've passed 70 just as keen but certainly still in love !!!!!

1968 September The Toby Jug in Tolworth, Surrey. Just before the release of the first album. I'll never forget that gig.

I saw Tull in Sacramento, CA in 1971. I remember that Glenn was wearing these huge sunflower sunglasses. Or could it have been the psylocibin making me see that? Not sure, but it was very cool! That was the most entertaining and outrageous concert I ever attended. Wearing his old torn tartan tailcoat and with his wildly long hair & beard, Ian Anderson was the perfect embodiment of the Aqualung character. I still remember the stage being completely dark when he entered the spotlight with his acoustic guitar, perched himself on a bar stool, and started the intro to My God. And when the lights came on with the band joining in, (Bum, Bum, Bum-bum-bum Bumdabum) the audience went crazy. Glenn was awesome! I wish I could relive that.

Why does nobody mention Glenn Cornick's amazing stint with Paris, with Bob Welch of Fleetwood Mac? I'll do it. It's a rare find ( they issued two albums, Paris and Big Towne ) it's a bit different than Jethro Tull, but Glenn's bass is fantastic. Check it out.

Glenn Cornick....such an underrated bass player. His lines in the Bunker/Cornick era are timeless. Don't know why he's not recognized more in the prog rock arena. RIP Glenn !!!

Anderson's firing of Glenn was pretty ruthless - and silly
@robertcowart16 ай бұрын
I met Glenn in '76 while he was in "Paris" with Bob Welch and Thom Mooney. Sad to say i spent the whole time asking about Jeffrey Hammond leaving Tull. I regret not asking about himself or even telling him i saw his band "Wild Turkey" open for Tull's Thick tour in '72. I am a bass player and yes Glenn was a very fine player, but i was fascinated with the famous friend "Jeffrey" now becoming new bass player at the same time i took up the bass from being a drummer. But i always knew Glenn was very good.

@@crusheverything4449well i did come to see Glenn play and i did buy the album, but Jeffrey had left the band right around that time and apart from a little mention in Circus magazine there was no info on his leaving, so i asked. It is known that Hammond was not a great player but he pulled off Passion Play very well.

For me, Cornick was the first and most inspirational bass player that I'd ever heard. He taught me the importance and creativity of bass playing. Of course, since then, my musical horizons have widened and I have come to admire the great bass players of jazz, blues and rock. But it was Cornick who kicked it all off for me.
@gillan56 ай бұрын
Anderson had the grace NOT tell Cornick that he was no member of the band JT anymore. Anderson was a strict boss with breakfasting at his own seperate table in the morning. So quite like working with Ritchie Blackmore. Andersons handling in the end of Cornick was a disgrace.

Ian has some very kind things to say about Glenn, but there's an elephant in the room. If Glenn was such a great guy and a fantastic musician, why did Ian want to get rid of him? If Glenn hadn't stuck it out with Ian during the London poverty period, would there even be a Jethro Tull? If Ian made a mistake in firing Glenn, he should own up to it. Or if there's a reason why the band couldn't continue with him, they should be honest about it, just to fill in that glaring missing piece of the puzzle.

i remember seeing Glen with his band Wild Turkey 50 years ago in my home town at Bletchley Youth Centre {now Milton Keynes) Battle Hymn was an excellent album. Glen always looked the part with his trademark head band, but above that ,he was an amazing bass player. Even though, back then, he was famous as a founder member of Jethro Tull, he took time to chat to us after the gig. RIP Glen

Glenn was one of the kindest people I ever had the pleasure of talking with. It started when I was collecting records still and had a question for him about the first misspelled Tull 45 and blossomed into him eventually being cool enough to write me on his experience with the Rock and roll circus. He didn't have to do that for me.He wanted to. I just read it after many years and it made me think of him. I saw your name Drew,and wanted to share that with you. God bless,and take care! Bruce M.

Hey Bruce, that is a common theme from people and something I observed growing up. Dad was always willing to talk and share stories with everyone at anytime. It was something that I really admired about him, and hopefully a trait that I carry on, even if I don’t have the raucous rock n roll stories like he did.

Ian's accent has a very American-English tinge to it now....a far cry from the old days I will wager. What a great band Tull was! Never got to see them live but bought most of their records and heard reports from friends who saw them perform at one of the Chicago venues back in the early 1970's.
@melodymakerSD Жыл бұрын
Ian lies when he says he was friends to the end. Glenn said otherwise many times. Glenn is the better man and really is the part or TULL you really hear. I think what happened was Glenn was an equal as for the showmanship on stage and Ian didn't like being equal or 2nd at times.. Maybe Ian can still learn from Glenn based on what he says here.

Let be honest here, sadly, at the end of his tenure with Tull, Glenn was treated very shabbily by Ian Anderson and Terry Ellis. I think Glenn was a huge loss to the band and the fans. I suspect he was too big a personality for Ian.
