How Much Longer For Nels Cline?


Recommended Posts

But he was barely on the last one, since much of it was at Roundhead in NZ, and he wasn't there.

 

he recorded his parts at the Loft, and he plays on every song.

I hope he goes. They need a shake up. Let's keep it real. The last 2 albums are just not that good.

 

I'm all for speculating wildly on the internet. That's why I propose that the shake up Wilco really needs is a second, smaller Nels to play that little guitar on "Deeper Down," increasing the potential number of baroque, 64th note guitar lines. Weedily weedily weedily weedily waaaaaaaaaaaaa

i thinka stripped down wilco with pat jeff,mike, glen and john would be very cool to hear it wuld still be very full

 

How is this stripped down? There's only one band member gone. Stripped-down in my mind would be Jeff, John, Glenn and Pat - like when they laid down the tracks for W(TA) in New Zealand. Or the quartet version of the band, post-Bennett, pre-Mikael.

It would be interesting to hear all the W(ta) tracks without the overdubs... then we could all get a small taste of this "stripped down" Wilco.

But I think Nels is great (better than I could ever be atleast) and watching him during live shows is amazing.

As long as we're engaging in baseless speculation, how much longer for Jeff Tweedy? He's looking pretty weathered on the cover of Spin.

I'm pretty sure that, after one more album and tour, the rest of the band will rise up and take what's rightfully theirs.

 

Jeff will gather together a few "hired hands", and continue to tour as Wilco, and years of court battles between Jeff's Wilco, and Wilco's WIlco will ensue.

 

John will try to tour with both Wilco's, much like a child tries to appease both divorcing parents.

I don't want to see Wilco playing naked.

 

 

Well, maybe just Glen. Cuz then his extremities could be a quintet instead of a quartet.

And then all current and former members will come together as one...

I just picture Jeff Tweedy as one of those Futurama Heads in a Jar.. He'll still be rockin out in the year 3,000.
