Steven Wilson - Hand. Cannot. Erase. (Recording sessions PART 1/2)

[@JokeR-ks4pw]

Still fresh in late 2022! One of my top ten favorite albums!! Thank you, Chaps!!!

[@pablotorobala954]

The creation of a Masterpiece. In my humble opinion, it's the best prog recording in many many years.

[@jakehyrule7260]

Yeah agreed, this and deloused in the comatorium.

[@incitatus634]

Also In Contact, Caligula's Horse and Circus Maximus, Isolate (more metalish but amazing records)

[@James00151]

I completely agree. I had been getting pretty bored with the music I usually listen to, and I was despairing because of it. Then I discovered Steven Wilson & had a reason to be excited again.

[@peterhammer4644]

For me this is top3 album of this millennium.

[@rankest2390]

I really love this album. Thank you so much Steven Wilson!!

[@estosellamamusica]

Minemann is a fucking beast

[@TheMentalSymphony]

We need to hear the outtake of Ancestral solo...

[@luistijerina]

"Straight-forward pop" Writes it in 9/8

[@stephenowen3383]

the words "for me" I think are key there.

[@amitraam1270]

Yeah, but Stays 9/8 :) .. Genesis' "turn it on again" was very successful pop, written in 13/8 .

[@80paura16ciao]

Veramente un bel disco...un lavoro curato nei dettagli...come si faceva negli anni 70 - 79 Alan Parsons è un mito poi in questo. Grazie Steven. 👍😎

[@asloii_1749]

i dont think odd time signatures make a song not pop

[@asloii_1749]

plus many songs on the radio are in 9/8

[@paulellis3481]

2:07 -Guthrie "I see what you're doing there marco, that's our song"

[@santibanks]

+Paul Ellis desert tornado I believe

[@paulellis3481]

Yeah, great song

[@littlenige]

Why have I never heard of this guy? I've been under a rock it seems! RUSH influence from the outset!!

[@titusteak6633]

My favourite Steven Wilson album by far.

[@varungopalkrishnan1123]

Steven is such a marvelous storyteller. The way he approaches subjects and the beauty with which he portrays it. Stellar

[@peterhammer4644]

One of the best albums of all-time.

[@marci429]

il ritorno del progressive di alto livello , un lavoro stupendo, come non se ne vedeva da anni , il sound è favoloso , la musica è coinvolgente con i suoi chiaroscuri

[@keithmcmahon9307]

Great team up of musicians. Steven I hope uses them again for his next album. They are perfect fit for perfect music. Nuff said.

[@miladbastanipour]

a big reason that I am happy to being in this world is listening to 'Steven Wilson...'

[@kevinbozman2572]

Can't stop listening to this Album!!

[@Robbo1966]

A masterpiece of an album, great team of super talented musicians, thank goodness Marco Minnemann came on board and didnt go to DT

[@soulconnectedstudioproject4612]

Marco Minneman and Guthrie Govan 🥰🥰🥰

[@FostersLab]

3:22 Guthrie casually throwing in some Star Trek. Because Guthrie.

[@fortunatotrefiletti]

i love Steven and the musicians choice . This line up is my favorite i love them!!

[@mattpodjeski4194]

I listened to that Kate Bush song " All the Love" he talks about at 13:39. Took me more than one listen- but what an absolutely haunting track. Definitely unexpected. Thank you for the recommendation Mr. Wilson. Everyone else, check if out!

[@justjoschi]

Just after 5 years one of the best albums I've ever heard......love all these musicians.... specifically mr govan 🤙

[@davejones4093]

Imagine wandering past and just hearing snippets of a room full of geniuses through the door.

[@thebailey67]

ah real music I didnt know it was still around......rock on..

[@simonl1785]

Excellent album

[@jaredlimbu7410]

ANIL Prasad the interviewer with Steven Wilson 💙 from Nepal

[@ThreeChordMonte]

"I'm very happy with it. I wonder what people will make of it. It sounds great to me." - SW. Indeed. Great record.

[@shellbegonesoon]

I'm 56 and regretfully, I have never seen and may never see collectively the real and original members of the band Porcupine Tree perform live. Its my opinion that during the touring days of the original real band promotion here in the U.S. was somewhere between completely ineffective and non existent. The recordings of the original band's music had and continues to have a profound impact on my perception of music's ability to penetrate and awaken the spiritual being in us all so I do indeed respect PT's work Collectively. Needless to say I look forward to seeing a few members perform as Porcupine Tree this coming Sept. I will not be alone in missing dreadfully the members whos presence is required to make a different band that really WAS PORCUPINE TREE. I appreciate much of Steven's contribution a to PT's creativity and originality. I resent stevens self centered arrogant implications basically saying that he felt the need to push Guthrie Govan to explore new or broader textures and sounds implying Guthrie was in need of Stevens support, encouragement and insight needed to further Guthrie's unrivaled potential as a guitar player. As if Guthrie had never before explored ifferent sounds that he may derive from a guitar. My opinion is Steven should recognize the true order of things in his field and as well as stevens clear misinterpreted perception of his self rank when among the likes of Guthrie. I do not believe Guthrie Govan, who always maintains respect and humility would ever say to the masses something as arrogant and act like he's teaching Steven something even though he surely can and probably has in reality. It appears Steven is hoping we listeners might infer that he himself has much to offer to Guthrie from his position of superior understanding of music and sound. Steven needs to recognize. Steven should reconsider what was said and implied about Guthrie need for Steven. I believe Guthrie was humbly willing to submit to the confinements of the simple guitar parts written for a master like Guthrie. They are no where in the same hemisphere when it comes to which one has earned and demonstrates true authority and genius thru actual writing and playing which is what it's really all about instead of large ego self praise talk.

[@stevenwhaley3945]

Whoa! Nice diatribe! I’ve not read that before? I’ll give witness on his talent. My eldest son said “Dad, I got a spare ticket to see Steven Wilson, you in?” Mr. Wilson proved to me why he’s one of the best musicians out there bringing us bliss! I’ve never been so blown away in a long time!!! And we had Stage Right box seats!! Reached Nirvana that night. It was so perfectly executed that I almost thought it was a movie!

[@natrajsharma1971]

There is a heavy Rush influence in this.....The intro, the drum sequence

[@kojam1]

EXACTLY what came to my mind. I have NEVER heard of him before.... and I thought I knew music! like what I hear this far. well be getting it!!!

[@merijnmetsemakers179]

Hahaha awesome the look that guthrie gives to marco when he's playing the aristocrats song: "desert tornado" at 2:06

[@tronlady1]

proper goosebumps at 38 seconds!!!! God I love this section!!

[@gaborholtzer8784]

Steven in shoes? what happened?

[@amarchhetri946]

This means that he wears shoes...

[@earlheaven3838]

Good time signature at the end!

[@Strabbs12345]

I simply loop exit watching studio footage, so cool! I used to play in panic and survival and west star studios which where never this glamorous of course, maybe next time round!

[@markobarrows4304]

Such great music. Thanks.

[@jeremylive31500]

Omg guthrie really improvise the Ancestral solo!

[@asloii_1749]

inspires me to finish my album. thank you steven

[@chrissavage5298]

Did you?

[@earlheaven3838]

Sounds good! The singing sounds like Is it Garvis from the band (Elbow)

[@thomashaigh6098]

This is his best work

[@011989973]

Going to watch him live in 2 days!

[@GH-kp1ex]

Sarang Mittal So Sarang , you saw S.W. live ; tell us how was it?

[@011989973]

It was a crazy concert ,a total bang for the buck! The first 1.5 hours was the entire Hand Cannot Erase from left to right which was perfect in almost every sense , and the last 2 hours were Porcupine Tree songs, all the popular ones. The crowd went relatively more crazy in the second half but according to me both halves were equally good! Stage presence and antiques were more prominent in the second half though!

[@michguzman]

The best album of 2015... this coming from a Pink Floyd fan and David Gilmour just putting out a new record.

[@ppda3074]

Thank you sir for this great moments fo music

[@sandyphendro3178]

Sad to realize that Marco will never play with Steven again and maybe even Guthrie :((((((((((((((

[@einarabelc5]

Other than The Aristocrats why not?

[@sandyphendro3178]

einarabelc5 check Marco's facebook - he is angry about Steven's treatment with him and Guthrie

[@ociroid]

yeah. As much as I love Steven Wilson, he's a bit of an ass. He's brilliant though! I can't deny that....

[@big1665]

Fuck! And I thought the last time I was on the Wilson concert, Marco and Guthrie were simply not there because the concert dates were coliding with the Aristocrats tour. But to think, that they will not play with Wilson again is sad. They really pushed the live experience (at least) one level higher.

[@kelpbeds]

How so? just curious what makes him and "Ass"?

[@-Pyf-]

i want this to be my life ç_ç

[@joaquin3768]

Lυиαтyc its incredible! I actually study mechanic engineering and play guitar. i dont know what way take. I like eng. But music is amazing for me. When i see this video i feel the same "wow i want this " sorry for my english. Cheers from arg

[@MetaliBlack666]

Best album of 2015 by far!

[@jah9253]

What a surprise! Steven is wearing shoes ,LOL.

[@aranrun6785]

14:20 Amazing Sound...

[@KentanLenneg]

3:21: Guthrie : Live long and prosper !

[@givmenovacane]

As expected...amazing.

[@balthazarjpg5640]

references...really inspiring

[@hansOrf]

Genius of note.

[@RenoultJonathan]

Marco has a tshirt with french actor Louis de Funès o_o xD

[@jimjudge8877]

9:11 Ladies and gentlemen... Marco Minnemann

[@cdunn8684]

Steve with SHOES ON! 3:00 Yes it does happen when it gets chilly out hehe ;)

[@rickdamian846]

1:56 Marco on "Desert Tornado"

[@shellderp]

Does Steven Wilson ever smile?

[@robertorondelli2087]

Wilson is God.

[@progrockwannabe]

I want to hear Ancestral with Ninet featured more prominently in the “come back if you want to” section

[@markrigg6623]

.......And Richard Hammond on drums! .......

[@AridGarden]

Awesome!

[@drummerxx1]

1:55 Desert Tornado by The Aristocrats ;-)

[@judahbenhur5820]

1:56, is that desert tornado by the aristocrasts?

[@MrRaiden182]

It is.

[@rowglider231]

Wow! Sounds like RUSH

[@davebrown1688]

masters at their trade.

[@am4082]

“Straight forward pop tunes” (in 9/8) 😂😂

[@markuswennemann9956]

The Master.......

[@tylerjacobson8012]

Marco minnerman is such a great drummer. God damn. Why dream theater chose magini over him is beyond me.

[@jordansbeard]

Tyler Jacobson both drummers are quite different. I got to see both drummers playing at Nearfest with Eddie Johnson’s UK. I prefer Marco because he’s more feel than Magini’s technique.

[@planetcaravan2925]

To my knowledge minnemann wasnt gona join

[@unelias2592]

Legendaarista

[@marktwain2112]

similar at recording rush album!!! or not???

[@benokmetic8205]

❤❤❤😊

[@Migeru_plays]

Rare footage of Steven Wilson wearing shoes

[@lucasfuentes920]

Somebody can tell me what kind of technique recording is the Jerrycan with the mic inside in the drumbass?

[@wolfertrose8981]

1:30 was adam holztmann playing frank zappa ? it reminds of eat that question intro

[@GrowerTalks]

Funny. At one point I was hearing Beatles, if they had stuck together long enough to go prog. Then he mentions the woman in the city disappearing and I think Eleanor Rigby.

[@prithivnatarajan]

he played DESERT TORNADO at 1:56 ooofff

[@earlheaven3838]

I think Garvis was a choir boy!

[@claytonchaney9171]

Adam is drinking coffee...prolly less stressful than with Miles

[@diggers7169]

Nick Beggs has come a long way since Kajagoogoo, huh?

[@Taifelire]

5:39 - 5:44 I'm so in love.

[@realmtv9834]

7:34 what about the water gallon?

[@khronscave]

I was wondering the same thing. I wish there were some close-up photos of the setup there. Could there be something like a 57 inside it?

[@realmtv9834]

wow, i forgot about this, meanwhile i opened my own studio. next week i'll try it out!

[@Holdsworthy]

'that was pretty fkin good also...'

[@kathowed]

Superb musicians. Sadly and naively kicked to the kerb by SW.

[@AdamVychodil]

What's that plastic bottle in front of the kick with cable coming out of it? :O around 8:10

[@vtrmigu]

[@shaun37011]

what is it with musicians who insist on wearing sunglasses everywhere they go? I don't think the sun is shining inside the studio bro

[@PrudenceMusic]

14:16 what does de boy sings?? anyone know that part of the lyrics? :O

[@PrudenceMusic]
