ok. put it like this...
put a mellotron in front of me and put one in front of you and lets
see which one of us performs magic. your understanding of this
instrument is all science (i assume thats why youre here) and no soul.
the science is the means and NOT the end. if you actually do apply
yourself artistically on the mellotron and happen to be good, then i
would love for you to share your music with me and prove me wrong. i
am not looking to impose my view, i am looking to get you people
thinking about the not-so-obvious possibilities of the mellotron too,
not just the watered down pop aspect(thanks for bringing up that coke
commercial, btw).
its only an opinion people, RELAX! nothing personal, nothing that any
of you should have taken offense to, just a simple expression of my
opinion, which is that the moody blues are overrated and there are
many more recordings done with a tron that surpass anything they
touched. thats ok! im sure they did some things better outside of
music than the guys with genuine talent and artistic insight.
and if you disagree, just explain why you disagree and let that be
that. dont be so emotional. at ease soldiers!

many of the bands on your list, live. I can't think of one of them
that put on a better show. Different, perhaps, but not better. So you
like Mellotrons. We al do. That's why we're here.
