Berichte und Interviews

Beitrag von Unisono »

Bin in den letzten Tagen auf eine Reihe aufschlussreicher Berichte und Interviews gestoßen:

http://www.clarionledger.com/story/life ... /76258524/

Besonders interessant finde ich ein Statement in "Guitarworld" (wo MB Fragen einzelner Leser/Hörer/Fans beantworteti), in dem es um die (in diesem Board auch an anderer Stelle mehrmals angeschnittene) Frage der Urheberschaft an der Musik von Jethro Tull geht.

"The music of Jethro Tull for the most part belongs to Ian and myself, since he and I have pretty much composed all of the band’s music. Since Ian and I have been playing together for many years, we have a mutual respect for one another both as people and as musicians. It’s a marriage of understanding and giving the other person space, and knowing that the history and catalog of Jethro Tull’s music was of our making.

Ian got the songwriting credits because the legal bottom line is that he writes the lyrics and has the basic ideas for a song, and then I, or someone else in the band, contribute parts to it. On Thick as a Brick, for example, so much of that music came from [keyboardist] John Evan.

Back in those days no one thought of all the legalities and the way that songwriting and royalties were split and who would earn what. We were just a band making music, and we tried to make it to the best of our abilities. We all sat in a room and worked out songs together from the beginning. It might not be fair that Ian gets the songwriting credits, but I know I’m an important part of Jethro Tull’s music, even though my contributions are not on paper, which is not an issue with me. I’ve made a great career out of music, and I have no complaints or regrets."

Martin Barre rückblickend über die Zeit in Jethro Tull: "I was quite a frustrated musician in many ways, though I didn’t realize it until I started my own band."
Ausfürhrlich unter:

und noch ein anderes Interview, in dem interessanterweise die Frage nach der Vergangenheit gar nicht gestellt wird:
