Bil1yCor we'll be starting up soon folks
Bil1yCor hello everyone...we're here and ready to start...if you have a question...message moderator
Bil1yCor thanks for being here for the start of "gish" month...we're doing this as a chance to look back on the album and that time...and to have fans of gish participate as much as possible...
Bil1yCor (Grumio) james, what was the one song you now wish was on gish
Bil1yCor the one song i wish was on gish was a song we played on the arising tour, la dolly vita
Bil1yCor How do you feel about Gish in comparison with your other albums?
Bil1yCor b: people often look at albums without thinking about the continuity of the time or the context in which the album was made...so when i answer a question like this i like to remind people that this was our first album and very special to us but every album is special because it marks a time in your life
Bil1yCor ok, when and why did you start incorporated that long rant into the song "I Am One"?
Bil1yCor b: the rant grew out of boredom with the song...we had been playing the song since 1989 and it just started to go off
Bil1yCor a step by step instruction on how to message is posted on the website
Bil1yCor B: the remastered version version of gish is off analog tape and sounds much closer to how it sounded in the studio, the original was off digital and sounded too harsh
Bil1yCor we want to tell you we are having a few problems, but we're sorting them out so please be patient, thanks..love billy
