I am very excited to see this newest member of Rain perform.

Here's his web-site.

Does anyone have any of his original stuff? Wow! A member with released independent stuff. I really wish some of the other guys would release solo stuff. They're all so freakin' talented.

Ooo Ooo! Sorry for the post on my own post. teehee Jimmy Pou music Update! (Can't you just hear the sound of those little ticker machines they used to use on the urgent, emergency, news broadcasts???)

Just downloaded his latest 2 albums from I-Tunes. WhooHoo!

Going to listen while I clean house tonight!]]> <![CDATA[A note to the admins]]> http://www.raintribute.com/assets/rainbb/showthread.php?tid=3044 Wed, 10 Mar 2010 16:36:54 -0600 jimcruff http://www.raintribute.com/assets/rainbb/showthread.php?tid=3044

Nice job Admins!

), and seeing Rain live was literally like seeing The Real Beatles. I'm just speechless. Still. The guy who plays George, I must say, took my breath away. The way he plays, he sounds exactly like him, and was completely on-point. I was at the Fox Theater in Detroit (magnificent place, really) and I was 4 rows from the back, and I still could see perfectly. I found myself, at some points, almost in tears because I was just so awestruck on how much they really were like The Beatles, and how much I think the actual Beatles would probably love it.

All in all, best performance I've ever seen, ever. I can't wait to hopefully see them again! Big Grin

And Let me just say that it was literally the best concert I've ever seen in my whole life.

I'm 17 years old, and I've been hearing The Beatles since I was born (my parents listen to good music! Big Grin

(From the mid-90's)

PAUL: I've never felt like I could afford a Fender (Stratocaster). Even now there's a strange thing at the back of my mind that makes me think I can't afford a Fender. Amazing how these things form and stay with you. A Fender is still a bit of an exotic instrument to me and, even though I could probably afford the factory, it seems out of reach.

***

RINGO: When I was first around I was always being put down, like it was: 'JOHN, PAUL, GEORGE....and Ringo.' Particularly in Britain it was, 'There's them and there's him.' And to this day, there are music critics who don't really appreciate the drums. But when we went to America it was great because there are drummers like Jim Keltner who would say 'Wow!' So, in the end, being appreciated by other musicians was a lot more important to me than the press's opinion.

***

JOHN: Ringo's a damn good drummer. He was always a good drummer. He's not technically good, but I think Ringo's drumming is underrated the same way as Paul's bass playing is underrated. Paul was one of the most innovative bass-players that ever played and half the stuff that's going on now is directly ripped off from the Beatles period. He was coy about his bass-playing. He's an egomaniac about everything else, but his bass-playing he was a bit coy about.

***

PAUL: Listening to the tapes I can understand why we failed the Decca audition. We weren't that good, though there were some quite interesting and original things.

JOHN: I listened to it. I wouldn't have turned us down on that. I think it sounded OK. Especially the last half of it, for the period it was. There weren't many people playing music like that then. I think Decca expected us to be all polished; we were just doing a demo. They should have seen our potential.

GEORGE: Years later, I found out they'd signed Brian Poole and the Tremeloes instead. The head of Decca, Dick Rowe, made a canny prediction: 'Guitar groups are on the way out, Mr. Epstein.'

PAUL: HE MUST BE KICKING HIMSELF NOW.

JOHN: I HOPE HE KICKS HIMSELF TO DEATH!]]>

I think it's funny that he was watching Walk Disney when his mother told him to "come see the new British singing group". teehee

Enjoy!
