 Topic: Whose Record Collection?
Posted: July 07 2007 at 07:01 |

How do you know about the Akerfeldt's collection? Did you read it in interviews?
I knew that he loves old prog rock but I didn't know he was into a big collection...

Interview in "Q" magazine 1992:
Q: Like who?
"Let's name names (laughs). Well, I mean, I had never been a fan of the bands that we'd always been compared to. I never really liked Jethro Tull that much. I never liked ELP at all. I was a big fan of the early Yes, but after Fragile I kind of lost interest. And the Floyd I've never loved apart from Arnold Layne. But we did this gig on Saturday at Cowdray Park for King Edward VII Hospital, and it was Queen, us, Clapton and the Floyd, and actually I went to the soundcheck and I was listening to the Floyd and a couple of the things they played I thought; I quite like that. There's a couple of things in there that, you know ..."

Arkfeldt is a great choice.
I'd like to see Bill Frisell's collection, and Quentin Tarrantino. Also DJ Shadow's because he has access to the basement of a record store where other people who don't work at the store are not allowed to go, and he is a DJ. Brian Eno probably has a nice collection, and I bet Nick Cave has an amazing collection of old murder ballads and rare kick ass stuff.

And again seriously robert fripp's, bill brufford's, peter hammills, but the one that really really i would like to see what he hears is Frank zappa's...pitty he didnt reached nowadays cause i would really like very much to hear what he thought about the status of nowadays music...i bet we would smoke some joints and laugh a lot about what he thought about whats being done now. Oh...just dreams...

I *think* I remember John Lydon saying that once on the radio or TV - but we know that is far from the truth, he just didn't want to admit to it in public until he needed to prove his musical credibility. Any musician who says he never listens to other peoples music is telling great big porkies - of course they are listening to other music.

I've heard that many famous musicians, when asked about their collection or about their favorite artists, say "I'm too busy making music; I don't have time to listen to other people's records".

^That too, but that's because ha has no more shelf space, with his few thousands albums...  Also worth the mention are Jody(8000+) and Politician(over 10000  )

In past interviews, with Iron Maiden's Steve Harris and Bruce Dickinson, they have both stressed their prog roots and namechecked many classic prog artists - a few of which have tunred up as IM cover versions on b-sides.
Reckon their collections contain a few gems.
I'm sure I read an interview recently that Deep Purple's Ian Gillan, owns quite a few. Around 10-20 thousand I think it was. Imagine that!

John Zorn apparently nixed his kitchen to store his records. That's enough to hook me!

Well El Bothy, I have been on Arjen Lucassen his wonderful 2 level farmhouse for an interview, during that interview I asked him about his personal taste, then he showed us a room that was loaded with LP's (everything from Hawkwind, Pink Floyd, Deep Purple, Triumvirat and The Beatles), indeed he is a collector of rare albums, he also had a huge video collection with some very rare footage like him playing with Vengeance in The Hague and Barry Hay as special guest (later the famous Golden Earring singer would appear on Ayreon his first album The Final Experiment).

Mike Portnoy, I have heard he has quite the collection. Arjen Lucaseen also collects rare prog, and Akerfeld has already been mentioned. Im interested to see what the guys from Yes have, I guess I would mostly find Classical and Jazz... but who knows...?
