I enjoy Boom's presence on stage much of the time, but I have to say I'm glad they used a competent keyboard player in the studio this time around
I think Boom stole the "period," "comma" and "question mark" keys from your computer.
for the least they could possibly do

I think what we've figured out about that video is that it's not really a "making of" video per se ... much of that footage is from rehearsals for what was (at the time) the upcoming tour.
Boom does not play on Bspacer.
for the least they could possibly do
um, that is a knock. not defending Boom at all, but I don't get what all the Boom hate is about on this board. I mean, what's wrong with this playing. Other than just saying "boom stinks", I'd like a quantifiable answer to this, if there is one, pretty please!!

If that's 'Boom hate' then I apologize. Back on the Riot Act tour, it felt like he was trying to force the organ on songs that didn't need it. I prefer a song like "Alive" to sound more like it did on the album. Maybe that's just me....
And no, I am not knocking Boom, I like him, I don't think he detracts and for sure he adds power to LBC. But the keys are tight on Backspacer, thats all I am saying.
I wouldn't go so far as to say he's "worthless." That's a little harsh. But Backspacer definitely benefits from BoB on the keys rather than our guy Boom.

I don't dislike the guy, but to me it's obvious why Brendan provided the keys for this record. The arrangements called for skills Boom just doesn't possess.
So very true.
also....
BO'b was probably the best musician in the studio during the recording of BS.
No doubt, but then again, BO'b couldn't write a #1 record. He's a wiz for sure and seemingly the best fit for them in the studio but obviously their feel for writing and performing is something that Brendan's technical skills can't compensate for.
As far as the comment about Boom "forcing" his way into songs, I'm not sure what that means. Does he control the way the sound is mixed? I'm sure he doesn't decide which songs he plays on.
I don't hate Boom at all, but you are 100% right about that performance. It was amazingly bad.

I feel the same way.....
Mike´s solo in Garden does not need a piano doodle to back him up .....
Dream the dreams of others then,... You will be no ones rival,...
I don't know how it's "offensive." Apparently, Brendan said he didn't want album credit, for whatever reason.
for the least they could possibly do
But really, espeacially if you listen to the sheer amount of keys on that album, I still find it odd. What reason could someone possibly have for doing that?
Then again, maybe I should just get a life and care about more impotant stuff... :geek:
Anywhere you can listen to this? I think Neil should play organ on the PJ tours
ANd about credit. My guess is that BoB consider adding instrumental parts etc are part of the producing gig. Like when I direct a film I don't add a credit for editing from my editor If i cut a shot or two, or boom operator if I take sound in a scene etc.
