Okay, Maserati, let’s huddle up. Come on, come on, bring it in here. Okay. It’s the 4th quarter, there’s two minutes left, and we’re down by a few points. I know it’s been a long, slow tour cycle for you guys, and the effort has been really great so far all around. I mean, REALLY great. But let’s just get out there one last time and make this tour of the US count. Because let’s face it: the window for proggy, guitar jams is CLOSING. At the rate things are going around here, your most recent record, Pyramid of the Sun (TMT Review) won’t be fit to sell sports cars in like three months.
I’m not gonna lie to you guys here. The hip kids of tomorrow aren’t into albums. They want singles. They want to be re-sold something fresh. Something new! Something original! Bold! Honest! They want Kurt Cobain! But are you guys gonna let the fickle tastes of the kids stand in your way??? Hell no! Who’s with me?!? So what if you’re out-numbered, out-trended, out-cooled? You’re still Maserati, dammit! So come on, before you fall behind the retro-pop times for good, why don’t you get out there and show ‘em one last time what a bunch of excessive guitar delay, bloated song-lengths, über-clean tones, and krautrock beats can do! Come on, who’s with me?! Let’s get the old band chant going, boys! Da-vid! Gil-mour! Da-vid! Gil-mour! Da-vid! Gil-mour! Da-vid…
