Towelie Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Saw the band last night at London's o2 Arena. They put on a fantastic show and it was so cool to see 14 Years with Izzy as I've always loved that song. The various interludes and jams between songs didn't bother me, infact, quite the contary. Guys like Ron and Fortus are world class musicians and I could watch them play all day long. I did come away wondering about DJ though. I really enjoyed all of the guitarists solo spots (particularly Glad To Be Here), but I did notice that DJ never took part in an of the improvised guitar jams. Infact, I don't think I've ever seen him improvise. Has anyone seen him improvise at any other concerts?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmo Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I don't think he improvised that Golden Gods "Are You With Me Now?" solo but it's different from the album version and it hadn't been played live before... It was probably the best solo he did by himself that I've seen him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruno P. Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 No, not that I've seen or heard. That's good because he can only play that pick tapping lick he uses a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eu4ic Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 The man really can't play the guitar. Stays in a very very small comfort zone. Has more passion about the paint on his guitar than the sounds coming from it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am far more interested in the paint on his guitar than I am in listening to him play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocArunas Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Yes, a person that plays guitar for a living can't improvise...God some of you people are stupid....He doesnt do it or join in because maybe its not his cup of tea uh?

HB3 Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 I think I've seen him jam with Richard before. I'm almost positive he has. But the chemistry between Ron and Richard is incredible. I'm in love with the jam before Madagascar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Voodoochild Posted June 2, 2012 Share Posted June 2, 2012 Loved the thread, haha. Yeah, he doesn't seem to get anything really improvised. Even on last minute additions to the set, like You're Crazy and UTLH, he just plays rhythm. I was there ... in tears ... the jam is a TANGO .. "Por una cabeza" Por una Cabeza is awesome, but DJ isn't playing there, mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
