"A Pringles Ranch guy?", is it like a holiday destination for Brokeback Mountain cowboy types?

Some of us married with children Brokeback Mountain cowboy types would appreciate this topic never being brought up again. Pringle Ranch caters to our need for privacy.

From what I understand the guitar playing was cut and pasted together to make that riff.

So I guess if you play the guitar for half an hour and someone goes through all the notes you played an pieces them together in a new way to make a new riff - I guess you wrote it.
I guess.

Or was it Les?

IM: It didn't differ a lot at all. All I used to do with Will was say "This is what I've got. Now paint your bit on it" and that's how it's always been pretty much. I think it was Les who came up with that riff for "The Killing Moon" but even that was written the same way really.

I forgot she was a world famous producer. Tell her I said hi and sorry for not calling more often.

i believe massive attack have produced several albums on that very principle. and i guess its a measure of how much authority you have as a producer to get credit for stuff like that - or not.

I'd like to know more about Massive Attack.

Craig Armstrong pretty much wrote Weather Storm - I thought Heat Miser was his riff but I don't see him getting credit. Anyway good excuse for a MA thread.

If you like piano I would suggest trying to get a copy of his classical album "Memory Takes My Hand" and maybe check out some of his movie soundtracks.....

I was lucky enough to catch him play the piano album live in a tiny theatre in Glasgow a few years back, easily enters my top ten gigs attended.........
