Daily Doug Reaction

Sad to see RF remove the video. Sadder still that he disapproves of folks talking about his/KC's music theory within a class. There is a lot to share that folks can learn, but maybe he has a reason for it ... well, he has not closed down Rachel Flowers versions of his group's stuff ... so there might be something within it that Doug said that wasn't right or cool ... is my guess. Classical folks have a tendency at times to be a bit stuffy, and Doug has been reasonably clean most of the time, but appreciative of the greater/better efforts all around (Echoes ... ) ... and I don't think that KC is his kind of band, based on the material he has done ... 

I would like to see him do more King Crimson, provided that Mr. RF allows it ... KC is very classical in its "approach" to music, making sure it is just right and such, whereas a lot of other rock bands ... have too many moments "all over the place" (as Daily Doug says), and I don't think that KC is about ... all over the place. Going back to their first album, the music was superbly defined and played and to this day, that clarity has stood up beautifully ... probably one of the few bands where the original STILL sounds magnificent.

I like him, he's good ... but he has not taken on some tougher things ... for example ... if he tried to do the title cut from the album YETI (AD2) and then even Soap Shop Rock, I really think that it will throw him off since the inspiration is likely to be found very different than any rock roots. Likewise, things like Tangerine Dream, let's say Stratosfear ... would be something that removes a lot of rock conventions (all over the stuff he does and then some ... too much for my taste!) ... and provides something else, probably closer to classical music than the (way too) metronomic rock music! For that matter, you think he can do one of the long cuts by The Doors? ... hmmmm 

TBH...I don't understand why people care about these 'reaction videos' and list of best albums ranked by various online strangers. Who cares?

I have watched a few where people talk about 'obscure prog and psych albums', etc ...since I  might not be aware of those.

I know what you mean, but here, he is more knowledgeable than many due to his educational background, so it's interesting to see his insight and hear his discussion of the structure, etc.  Of course, what really matters is whether or not you find a piece of music or song appealing to your taste, but I still enjoy hearing other's opinions on music.
