In Reply to: Boston's first album is a classic, but . . . posted by Quint on March 10, 2007 at 06:54:15:
he wanted to perrform only as "Boston". Hard to believe Tom Guitar player tried to perform as Boston with somebody else as singer. Maybe Skip Spence's daughter's pilates instructor.
Follow Ups:
I loathe Boston's music, and I mean no disrespect toward's Delp's passing. But everything I've ever read suggested strongly that Scholz did almost everything in that project. You're barking up the wrong tree."The first Boston album was recorded by Scholz and group of studio musicians which he had assembled for the project. Most of the guitar, organ, and bass on the album, was all performed by Scholz (bassist Fran Sheehan and second guitarist Barry Goudreau are also on two tracks). Most of the record was recorded in Scholz's basement studio. It was there that he crafted his trademark guitar sound, which became very popular, and also "Top Secret Space Pedals." Epic didn't want the album recorded entirely in Scholz's home, as Scholz intended; they suggested a typical recording studio. But most of what ended up on the album was recorded by Scholz in his basement."
"Gawd that sucked!". I wish I could play was well as Scholz, though.
It's the guys who don't play anywhere near as well that, whether it's because of their relatively, alleged limited abilities, or because their talents lie in areas other than playing, come up with musical ideas I find far more interesting. But deconstructing Scholz as a technician rather than as an artist would be a pointless thread-crap, and besides, for all the tinnitus it may have caused and even now be causing the Rockman was an inspired piece of hardware, I believe.But no, I don't want to take anything away from Delp's passing. And, I would say that he could've and probably would've, had he not hooked up with Scholz, found his way to success in the era of arena rock. My opinion of Boston aside, his vocals were well above average, all the more so in an era where many acts were trying to de-emphasize the importance of vocal abilities.
