I read an article recently (but it was actually several years old) that talked about how D looked in the Untitled video. Evidently he had never looked that way before - not in his entire life. He'd been working really hard with a trainer prior to that video being filmed and it ended up being the thing that everybody associates him with. It may even have been part of what led to some of his "issues" after that.

So while its cool that dude is getting in better shape, I hope he's not trying to get back to the way other people picture him, or want him to be. Dude just needs to get his head right.

True.

Thanks. ?uest is hilarious, I give him that.

Would be better if he was actually part of the tour, but the fact that ?uest is diggin' it is definitely good news.

I think Chris "Daddy" Dave will do an excellent job.He's a fantastic drummer and I'm sure that

he,together with Pino Palladino on bass and Jesse Johnson on guitar will be a dynamite backupband.

I agree but I think this is some of his fault as well for playing into that sex symbol image. All the comments I see online are about does his abs still look the same etc so it kind of backfired on him.

Wow,that's an amazing band! I think it's gonna be awsome!

Jef Lee Johnson on guitar now, Jesse called away on family emergency.

and Ray Angry has replaced Pookie

I haven't checked out any D' news for months, cause let's face it, there hasn't been a lot of good news for years now, but today I heard about this tour and now I have tickets for Stockholm feb 10th! YES!

No surprise that he's not coming to Finland, but I don't mind going to Stockholm...at all

I saw the gig in Stockholm in 2000, and that was one the best concerts I've seen. People, if you have a chance to go ...GO.

from 2uestlove yall

i guess i can answer some stuff.....


Ray Angry has replaced Pookie on Keys
Jef Lee Johnson had to replace Jesse Johnson

(both called away on family emergencies)

although im salty about the jesse angle not going down (im kinda co-MD of the show, so i will say that i used jesse as a MAJOR excuse for D to get his Parade Tour on with the arrangments....ESPECIALLY the revamped Brown Sugar which we morphed into Mutiny 2012.

i can't wait til years from now when these rehearsal jams make their way to collectors so yall can hear the massive funk goin on.

can talk about the set list.

but i guess i can mention

if the soultronics were more JBs 70
then this new band (god i don't even know if im allowed to leak out the name.....and i named em!) is straight up on some Funkadelic "Say Brother" type shit.

yes d is n physical fine form, back to his muscular skinny self where the Voodoo tour last left us....actually its more muscles cause he went hard into marshall arts.

his hair is way longer so i dunno which way he's gonna rock it. his fro is fuller than mine. but he's been rocking plats so its up in the air. on the real i would actually rock it like george in that say brother clip (the quasi mohawk ish if i was him

uh...damn i really stepping on shaky ground here cause i dont know what im allowed to say and what im NOT allowed to say....

they are rocking like 4 or 5 of the new joints.

i guess the only cat imma let out the bag (only cause im so proud of his progress, but he's shy about it so i know he dont want me to put him on the spot like this)

but man....


the only good that came out this 11 year freeze?

his guitar playing.


and i dont mean that hill/3000/wayne guitar playing.

i dont even mean that kravitz playing......


i mean that hazel shit. that ernie isley shit......

if i ever seen evidence of that gladwell 100000 ish?


this is that.

i feel like he's stepping on holy ground if he dont come out the gate like frank zappa.


ill say this much.

if he practices as much as he is now? (5 hours a day)

he could surpass zappa in about 4 years.

THATS how good he is now.

aight.

you didnt hear this from m

"You didn't hear this from me.

With all this hype, this show better be good.

Well who knows, it could go any way...I think it has a good chance of living up to expectations though.

Either way how? You think Dangelo and crew could/would put out a wack show?

No, I don't think that, but I can only imagine horror stories like him showing up late for concerts. I doubt it, but after the last few years, God knows what's going on in D'Angelo's mind.

Nah, when D goes on tour he is professional. Its a good thing jesse isnt part of it actually because that dude is very unreliable it seems.

Yeah, but this is D'Angelo.

"hazel/isley shit"?....."surpass zappa in 4 years"?

Ummmm NO I don't think so.

?uest knows how to hype but it's a good (and sometimes comical) hype.

Still looking foward to the new release whatever decade it comes out.
