Why is Andrew Lloyd Webber in Various Artists? He should have its own profile.
And what's this about? Edited by Kotro |

Basically I was referring to Roger Water's Amused To Death album where he sings on the song ' It's a miracle' that where Andrew lloyd Webber is playing in a theatre, an earthquake occurs, the piano lid comes down and snaps his f**king fingers"!!!!! Waters at his cynical best- he hates ALW! I was venting my personal frustration that Andrew lloyd Webber had been included for an album under the Various Artists review, by Certified. Give me PC ( Phil Collins anyday!!!) |

It's a quote from Roger Water's song It's a miracle from his album Amused to death (precisely it's the end of the song). But the above quote is not exact, there should be: We cower in our shelters With our hands over our ears Lloyd-Webber's awful stuff Runs for years and years and years An earthquake hits the theatre But the operetta lingers Then the piano lid comes down And breakes his f**king fingers It's a miracle It seems Waters doesn't like Lloyd-Webber...

Well, I like Waters for all he's done with Floyd (his solo work is awful, worst from Floyd members, apart from Mason, which I never heard...), but he's still an idiot. That's not a nice thing to sing. How would he feel if someone wrote about him acting in Ça Ira and cheer as his head is accidentaly chopped off by a guilloutine due to an earthquake?

I've never heard 'Variations', and it turns up in seemingly everyone's records for sale at boot sales etc (a fact collectors would no doubt be aware of by now...) but it has a very prog cast; I think all of Colosseum II are on it though and it's often mentioned by Certif1ed as being a prog album, thus why he added it. I have no problem with this, but the day 'Cats', 'Joseph and his Multicoloured Dreamcoat', 'Chess' et al. get added, that's about time I question my position here... |

ALW is horrible. Joseph and the Amazing Technical Dreamcoat is ok, but everything else is crap. BTW he did not write Chess. That was Bjorn Ulvaes(The guy from ABBA).

Well, I like Waters' solo work very much. For me his solo career is a natural continuation of Pink Floyd. As I stated in another thread I always considered him (and I still do of course) the spiritus movens of the band. Without Waters Pink Floyd lacked the spirit. |

BTW, Waters sings about breaking Lloyd-Webber's fingers not chopping his head off. That's a difference.

It's all a matter of taste, really. If I were to choose I would rather save ALW's fingers that stoping Waters from loosing his head... Oh wait, he did that already...

Me too. But Variations is unquestionably a very fine Prog album - even if you don't like it or ALW. If you see it at a car boot sale and it's not horribly scratched, then buy it - it makes Sky sound like a bunch of also-rans. Note that I added it under "Various" - there's no way I'd want ALW in the archives, Prog related or not. But that's just me being biased. Variations NEEDS to be in the archives, and you should listen to it if you are wondering why it's here. And that's not me being biased.

Webber's work with jim steinman, dance of the vampires (based on the roman polanski film) is definately worth a listen.
And come on, Overature from Jesus Christ Superstar (the original studio-recorded rock-opera, not the film soundtrack) is an essential prog track. It's sinister, creepy vibe makes it a highlight as far as the darker side of the genre. The rest of that original double album is pretty good too, much better than the billions of recordings of it that have come since. (I've always said Mekanik Destructiw Kommandoh, one of my prog faves, is part Carmina Burana, part Jesus Christ Superstar!) most everything else ALW has done, however, I do agree isn't that good. |

Im actually a Webber fan... well, my family is, and I kind of got born into it. I can only say that Webber is at least better than Waters in making an opera, and Waters doesn't have the complexity of Webber. Roger can be rather harsh at times. :( |

I fully agree on this! Although 'Cats' and 'Phantom Of The Opera' enable me to have a closer look at the former contents of my stomach, I always quite liked the original 'Jesus Christ Superstar'. Ian Gillan rules as Christ.

It's good to know there are other people with the same, low opinion of ALW and his music that I have!!
