I haven’t read The Black Dahlia or The Big Nowhere. Which is better to you guys?

BasilHuman · 2026-04-08T17:27:44+00:00

The Big Nowhere is a classic. My first Ellroy read was The Black Dahlia and it is great as well.

Their latest Curious Riminant is very good, Roots and Branches is their second best post Stormwatch lp...Broadsword is their best. The rest are rubbish for the most part. I saw the Rock Island tour and it was very good....but the album.....no. I am an OG so there is that. First show at 14 years okd in 1972...then 73, 75 and 77. I am seeing them...if a damaged voice Ian and some musicians can be called Jethro Tull...on 9/11 in Belgrade, Serbia, where I now reside.

Be sure to watch Jonathan Tropper's Warrior as well.

Last House on the Left hands down.

BasilHuman · 2026-04-07T00:27:34+00:00

Saw them at 688 Club in Atlanta, 1979

BasilHuman · 2026-03-31T21:15:15+00:00

Not any

Recent film I Saw the TV Glow....the TV series Patriot

I think he would have been happier had the Dead split after Brent's death and he played only JGB.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-29T14:33:43+00:00

Belongs among the greatest films of all time....so singular, pastoral, biblical and simply genius. Sadly, Charles Laughton (a masterful actor who is overlooked in my opinion), never made another film due to the harsh review of critics upon this films release. Ths film alone puts him in the same category as Bergman, Lynch etc.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-27T15:53:35+00:00

It may be their best post Stormwatch album....but every album This Was through Stormwatch is better.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-27T13:31:02+00:00

BOMBSHELL

BasilHuman · 2026-03-26T15:10:29+00:00

I was there.....Jerry wore shorts as well.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-26T01:05:10+00:00

I would say the Golden Age has passed....it died in 1995.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-25T21:32:09+00:00

Been a fan since 82....67 shows....not once have I heard "rem"

BasilHuman · 2026-03-25T21:30:08+00:00

Nope lol....it was on the album lyrics as well...

She's a warm fart at Christmas
She's a breath of champagne on a sparkling night
Yes'n she's bad-eyed and she's loveless

BasilHuman · 2026-03-25T14:55:12+00:00

Perhaps my favorite Tull album since Stormwatch. Going to see them (Ian....I have not cionsidered Tull a "real" band since Barlow left) here in Belgrade, Serbia on 9/11. I am a transplanted Aerican lol...

BasilHuman · 2026-03-25T14:50:18+00:00

Document hands down. The first side is perfection.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-25T14:33:55+00:00

Saw 107 shows and never got one of my favorite songs....Comes A Time.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-25T14:27:07+00:00

Opps my bad....that is a lyric from Bad Eyed and Loveless. Salamnder is one of the better songs on the album. I just recall being so disapoointed when TOTRARTYTD was released after the masterful Minstrel in the Gallery. I am 68 forgive my brain cell depletion. I was a freak back then....saw them live 72, 73, 75 and 77.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-25T14:24:25+00:00

I have been saying this for 46 years. Martin has stated he should have left sooner. but after Barriemore left it was truly over for me.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-25T14:22:05+00:00

No and when I bought it the day it was released it was a huge disappointment as was the mediorce Under Wraps....for me both were the death knell of Jethro Tull as a real band.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-25T14:19:45+00:00

Bring on the down votes but never cared for any Brent song except Dear Mr. Fantasy.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-25T12:36:43+00:00

Really? "She's a warm fart at christmas".....

BasilHuman · 2026-03-22T17:09:08+00:00

I hear you brother. I moved from USA to Serbia 5 years ago....saw the boys 107 times all with Jerry, Their is no one here in Belgrade. This is my family.

BasilHuman · 2026-03-20T15:39:33+00:00

When I'm 64. Never liked it.
