Title: Questions for Clive.
Post by: Appelmoes?? on Fri, 2005-02-18, 16:54:06
I'll start :)

What was it like to work with Arjen Lucassen?
How did you two get in contact? Did you allready know each other or did he contact you..?
What do you think of Ayreon?
Etc...

So basicly... I just want to know everything you can tell of your experience with Ayreon/Arjen :)

He contacted me... and we've met a few times at gigs.
I'm afraid that there isn't much to tell.... he sent me a backing track so that I could add some solos, and I did the same with the Hound album. I like his work... Arjen's a great musician.... :)

I've just read the Contagion story from Contagium and I noticed some things that made me wonder.
Most of the 'chapternames' correspond with the songs from contagion, but 3 are different. A New Land, Pursuit and Argument. Do these correspond with Never Ending Night, Riding the Tide and Bitter Harvest, since these songtitles are not used as 'chapternames' in the story? And the 'chapternames' have a differtent order than "the running order for the whole Contagion saga" which is also given on Contagium. Can you (or anyone else) shed some light on this?

Sorry... I really can't remember at the moment.... my brain has moved on from there, so I'd have to check some notes etc.... I'll get back to you on that.... :)

Clive, not a question per se, just a thank you for being so kind and friendly during your recent trip to the U.S. for ROSfest. I doubt you'll remember, but I spoke to you briefly regarding your future plans both in regard to solo albums and working again with Oliver Wakeman. We sure don't see enough of you guys on this side of the pond, but I think a lot of people were impressed with Arena's set on Friday night.

Hallo Clive
A somewhat unorthodox approach I suppose- but I thought you might appreciate that...
How the devil are you?...must be about 15 years or more since last met musically
Please excuse but I just wondered how you were and stumbled across you via 'Google'.

CAST(oh dear)your mind back and you might remember-very easy to find out who I am but try and guess for a moment.I might be the third or fourth person you think of..

p.s-'Hi' to everyone else..sorry for intruding..

OK... well I'm in the dark so far..... :)
Were you in the band.... did you work with the band... or did you watch the band??

That might give me a fighting chance, bearing in mind that I have a terrible memory for names and faces.... ;) ;)

Simon??no...Laura..don't think Simon or Pete would put kisses after their names??...but maybe they would....??

I was just wondering recently how you were doing and thought I'd have a look through 'Google'and  I can see you are doing pretty well.

Its such a long time ago isn't it..alot of stuff gone under alot of bridges....
