Wny these guys broke up after the Romantic Warrior album, an act that broke millions of musician hearts around the world, is a question I would have asked. We were all waiting to see how they would top that, and unfortunately we didn't get the chance. I'm still upset about that.

I think this was the tour where I saw them play in NYC in Spanish Harlem or near there in a big hall that, I think, used to be a muslim temple or something. Were any of you at that concert, and was that this same tour?

I was gutted when Al didn't tour with the band to Australia/NZ back in 2011, but the additions of Jean-Luc Ponty and Frank Gambale was just as satisfactory. Still hope to see Al Di Meola someday...

Chick, Lenny, Stanley released a double album maybe 10 years ago or so where on the second disc Bill Connors actually plays on at least Señor Mouse (and I think on Cosmic Rain as well). They are studio takes and either a special occasion or a rehearsal for some gig (maybe he sat in). But it's recorded after this 2008 reunion. Jean Luc Ponty and Chaka Khan are on that disc as well.

People who say this band has a "dated" sound are complete idiots! Of course the era was the 70's numbskull! What the fuck do you think all these so called "artists" today try to sound like?? They try to sound like the REAL artists from the 50's 60's and 70's...so you can say that all music sounds "dated". What a fuckin' asshole comment to make...get a life and a pair of ears to go with it!

@guitarran I have a PRS now. Very precise guitar but I can get only one sound with it. I hear some guys playing PRS & get all kinds of sounds. I like the old LPs, but there are so heavy & expensive. I find myself always drifting back to Teles & Strats.
@guitarran14 жыл бұрын
@beau5375 Remember Al joined this lineup when he was nineteen. He really didn't get his sound together until he recorded "Elegant Gypsy". I'm really not a fan of the tone of PRS guitars, I would really like to hear him Return to Les Pauls.

Dimeloa was always the least musically interesting part of this band for me. His technique is very precise, but his tone is always too harsh. There is a fine line between ripping & shredding. I know the gods of Mount Guitar will strike me down for this blasphemy.

they are constantly writing for other people, always conscious of what they think we want to hear. when the fans really want something they've written for themselvs. we want to hear RTF, not RTF fans. this goes for all their solo stuff too. hard to explain. all i can say, its a very commercial way to approach a reunion. they could have done a lot better if they would have kept it simple. they didnt even write any new pieces!
