#JethroTull
The world needs Jethro Tull now more than ever. Last time we had a new Tull album there were no smart phones! Here's to great music and the artists that make it happen.
I agree, except this isn’t Jethro Tull, no matter what Anderson’s accountant insists on calling it.
@@crusheverything4449 Many classic rock bands are down to one or two original members at this point. Tull's only original member was Ian Anderson as of 1972's Thick As A Brick, anyway. While Martin Barre is one of my favorite guitarists of all time, I'm fine calling this "Jethro Tull."
Which album do we need in your opinion? In case of doubt none! But it's great that they exist. All the ones that have ever appeared on this planet...
@@crusheverything4449 Who cares what title's slapped on the cover? It's brilliant. Few artists are producing vibrant, meaningful music like this, let alone any remaining from the 1960s. Perspective, mate. Perspective.
@@johnnyscarecrow71 - My problem is that it’s far from brilliant and therefore, should not be called Jethro Tull. Why do so many people think anything Ian farts out is genius? This stuff sucks compared to even the weak Too Old to Rock ‘n’ Roll or Rock Island albums. Where are the dynamics? There’s no balls whatsoever. Too old to rock ‘n’ roll has become autobiographical for Ian, at last. What a pity.
How great is this? Jethro Tull, the soundtrack of my youth. Still around, still alive. Still brilliant. Over 50 years no scandals, yust good music. ❤🔥❤
Ian Anderson and Jethro Tull are certainly remarkable indeed.Ian can certainly still write 'em after all these years!

❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
The mixing of _The Zealot Gene_ doesn't do the material or the performers any favors. It sounds boxy and cheap, as if done by someone who had just picked up Pro Tools a couple of weeks earlier and was told to keep Anderson's voice and flute up and the drums down, and above all, do it in a hurry.
The instrumental performances? The band sounds like anonymous session musicians, trying to stay awake while playing material that is beneath them. No one will mistake Scott Hammond's playing for that of Barriemore Barlow or Mark Craney.
J.Tull um dos meus Grandes Amores!
After 54 year, he is still there, incredible!
Ian Anderson is now singing well within his reduced vocal range. His flute is potent as ever and JT is back to prog - folk hybrid music which fits it perfectly like old shoes . JT is innovating and presenting imaginative musical videos to promote its new album. JT is unsinkable
I like it! Def the JT sound. I hope the rest of the album is as good as this track!
@@RickSerra I could listen to this in a dirty hotel room
@@GeoffStrehlMusic oh ! So you realize who I am? Guilty. We hope to resume shooting ADR in 2022!!!
@@RickSerra been watching you guys since episode one. Been a huge fan since the very beginning. It's an honor to have you reply to me!
Yes it's great that Ian has lowered the key
It still sounds a little weak
But much better than past year's
He has always suffered from a diabillitating vocal disease
One thing I love about Ian is that he's able to reinvent himself while still remaining faithful to his roots. You can still hear the same guy who sang Aqualung in the 70's.
Another great song from a great artist.
Ian Anderson is one of those very rare, class of their own artists whom originality & transcendence of musical genres comes naturally to. He's one of the few all time greatest of greats. Someone said the world needs Jethro Tull now more than ever. As one who's loved Tull since a kid, from the 70'd & onward, I"m here to tell those with ears to hear: we've been blessed with music by one of the most creative humans ever to grace this earth. The Zealot Gene is a timely release, among Ian's best creations. ROCK ON Jethro Tull!!
Absolutely brilliant! Hearing new Jethro Tull songs in 2022 is a tonic for the soul.
A voice of what many consider to be the past, bringing a message that has never been more relevant. Thanks Ian, for the music and the work you put into it.
The message that zealotry is bad, but also gentically inherited? That therefore because I encountered a black bigot im going to beware all bantu people?
Jethro has always had a message in his music, maybe not for everyone, but for those who listen they can learn.
I'm an old hippie that has listened to his music from the beginning of his career.
It never gets old.
I want to see teenagers listen to this. Do you think they like this?
Thank you Ian Anderson for 54 years of wonderful music and intellectual lyrics. Absolute genius!!
Having listened to Tull and Ian Anderson's creativity for fifty years now, there is one crucial necessity concerning every album: "Multiple Listenings". And for some albums this means reading and delving into the lyrics. This is specially true for the previous release, Homo Erraticus, which I consider to be quite a masterpiece level effort. Many times over the years I have been less than thrilled with a "first listening", but I always find that the ingenious subtleties take time to "appear". And with Ian Anderson, the incredible musical subtleties are always there, too easy to miss with just one listen.
....it is exactly the same and my thesis is confirmed again and again: what goes into the ear quickly flows out again quickly and is forgotten.
That's right, "homo erraticus" is a masterpiece ... I've probably heard it 1000 times!
So very true. I love them more with every listen.
Oh yes?
asabrick, I agree wholeheartedly about multiple listenings. Homo Erraticus is a great example and this is a masterpiece as you state. It is wonderfully explicit in its narratives about old war days etc., and the history lesson about Isambard! - all history lessons should include this song at schools😁
I've also been listening to Tull for 50 years, but mostly what they recorded in the early 70s. To me this band is just Ian's backup band. There's no Martin Barre or any other name I know. But I agree with your comment about multiple listenings. I don't think I liked Passion Play much the first time or two; now it's still one of my favorite pieces of music (I'm actually working on a new album called A Pastiche Play).
My question for you is, if I was going to listen to one Tull/Anderson album since 1980 multiple times (I've listened to all of them up to 1980) which album do you recommend? Thanks in advance.
Just wow. A fan of 45 years standing here - just fantastic
Back in the early days of Jethro Tull I could not get enough of those early albums. Okay now having spent sometime listening to this song it grows on me more and more Very heavy very umble like but as always, Ian,s lyrics have not lost their spark. Sort of TAAB II how over the years Ian finds these lyrics amazes me. Funny enough I have no albums much past Too Old To Rockn Roll so I need to get me a into g and start filling in the gaps of the later stuff
I absolutely loved this song. Jethro Ian Tull bringing us new wonders. I love Jethro.
Long live Ian Anderson.
Love Ian and Jethro .
I learned to like Jethro because of my husband. He listens so much that I started to like it
How Mr.Anderson manages to continue to amaze with each of his efforts is beyond me. Homo Erraticus was a masterpiece. And this album is surprising and fresh once again!
True. It's better than many of their older albums.
No it’s not
This is an amazing gift to 2022. I have a 14 year old flute and bass playing daughters whose favorite bands are The Moody Blues, Joni Mitchell and Jethro Tull. This is timely and brilliant.
My favorite band since I was probably 16 in 1996..still awesome!
Absolutely one of the greatest bands of all-time.
I haven't enjoyed a Jethro Tull album so much like this one since WAR CHILD and SONGS FROM THE WOOD. My first concert was the Jethro Tull WAR CHILD Tour at Madison Square Garden in New York City when I was 13 years old. My late brother took me to the show. I will always remember that night. I'm looking forward to The Zealot Game Tour!.
Congrats Jethro Tull ..top ten album..im listening to it constantly..i love it!
I pre-ordered this album without a single listen, because it's JETHRO TULL. I was not disappointed. Watching this video makes me even happier as the visual is such a compliment to the masterful lyric content. An album worth the wait. Maybe this will trigger Ian and the guys to do a follow up sooner rather than later!
I bought it sight unseen or sound unheard rather - as a 50 year fan. So far, I don't like what I hear. I appreciate that squishy guitar in Shoshanna, that is interesting and clever, but the lyrics and the complexity is gone, and there are not really the trademark solos or flute parts any more. I don't think Ian can get the band to spend much time together since the treats them like contract employees. Don't count on any new albums. I think Ian is pretty well played out.
The greatest musical group that has preformed. My favorite since they first came out. The music & songs are real, & about real life.
A timely message for our hyper-divisive times that the zealots on both the right and left need to hear
I agree with the sentiment but I do wonder how much art can really change minds for the better.
It's like a wine whose flavor gets better over the years. I raise my glass to the wonderful JT.
This is to confirm that The JethroT Gene here inside is 100% perfectly compatible with The Zealot Gene!
🎵💙✨🌼⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
This is what is missing in music. This right here. Bravo Ian and crew!
As an old Tull groupie, this is new to me...and fabulous!
Thank God we have Jethro Tull. One of the truly best bands of the century
Good stuff. I'm glad I lived long enough to hear this!
Damn! It's so great to hear that incredible, unmistakable voice & accompanying music doing new music! And that flute...nobody's ever come close to Ian's flute playing which inspired my daughter to play flute beautifully from age 8 through college. Hopefully she'll pick it up again someday- I've even promised to buy her a new flute.
Well said....
How old is your daughter now if you don’t mind me asking?
Oh yes! Ian's seemingly endless, skills in song writing is remarkable. And this is a great song and Ian's 's beautiful flute playing is so memorable and brilliant for sure.

Anything I could write about this masterpiece and its importance to the times we are living would be too little and would not do justice to one of the greatest genius of music along more than 50 years. We are lucky that we still have Ian to musically speak out what the world needs to listen to, and complemented by this wonderful - and even didactic - video. One thousand thanks, Ian, from someone who knew Jethro Tull in 1971 and has followed all his career !
The genius Ian Anderson, still not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame - the biggest omission in history - is back with yet another great album.
Tull not in the Hall of Fame! What a laugh..
@@mikelyons4548 Yep, it's just an absurd joke. Nor is Bad Company, Grand Funk, the Sweet, Slade, Foreigner, and the list goes on. And Eminem will go into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in a couple months. It's all ludicrous.
@@johnpelletier7641 You don't need Sweet or Slade only 1 King of Glam rock that's Bolan T Rex is in.
But JT not being there is like ignoring the Stones.
@@saxa21 Yep, I love Bolan and T. Rex and they are worthy entrants. But the Sweet and Slade also are Glam worthies - I would argue just as worthy.....yes, it's 2022 and Jethro Tull is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. One of the most important bands of the late '60s and '70s, and Ian Anderson one of the legendary Bigger Than Life rock figures, ever. It is beyond anyone's comprehension - other than the HOF committee.
@@johnpelletier7641 Totally agree my 3 greats are T rex Roxy music and Tull and Tull have a better catalogue really insane as Bolan and Ferry never broke America where Tull were huge selling out MSG with number 1 albums this is shocking.
Plus Ian at 74 has made a great comeback with this album.
I first saw JT in 1971. It wasn’t just a concert. More of an epic experience. Ian A is to me the greatest frontman any band has ever had. Flute, guitar, vocals, showmanship, etc.
These guys are pretty good. They just might have a future at this whole music thing.. 😉 🙏
I'm old enough to have seen Yes OPEN for Tull, July 1971, Houston, just before my junior year in high school. A scant few months later, Yes, of course, was headlining. My, how flime ties!
@@bradsmack1 jealous!
They do ):(
That's Living in the Past...😂😂
@spaceynooner: No! A guy with a flute will never make it in rock-business!
After more than 50 years, Ian still has original content floating around in his noggin. Simply amazing. What scares me is that I bought their first album when it came out! 😃 Jethro Tull has been one of my favourite bands since the beginning. And they are in great company, if I say so myself!
What I love about Tull is they don't have to try to be another band, they just continue on as themselves and let everyone else try to catch up or fall away. Just great stuff!
It seems like yesterday the christmas album came out with rupies dance and stage left.. and the the aqualung special record.
.. That cd got scratched up almost immediately.. They need to rerelease it.. The new day aqualung redo. Would be cool someone post up a copy.
we need some intellectual music for 2022 and this foots the bill! Hoorah!!!
Magnificent mastery! Nothing about this could be any better, thank you!
Brilliant, can’t wait to get the album.
It's a welcome visit from an old friend you have not seen in many years.
A song for our trying times - We've missed you, Ian, and your very necessary voice! Pre-Ordered the album weeks ago.
Brilliant. So much the zeitgeist...someones not living in the past!
One of the best albums
Congrats for entering the official UK Album Charts at Number 9! The first Top Ten Album there since 1972!😁👍
His vocals are good. It has a genuine JT sound. It’s really good
Hope we get an instrumental. would be good..
.. At least live.
Something about this song! Can't quite put my finger on what it is! Like so many other songs from Ian Anderson!! Really uplifting and inspiring!!
One of the greatest musicians ever, Ian. Thanks a lotlotlot
Ian's voice still sounds as good as it did years ago, great track, looking forward to the long awaited new album.
Get yer ears checked.
It sounds good but nowhere near as good as it was.
What Kind of lyrics, music, and rhythms, and that magic flute !!!
Great lyrics to this song ~ giving y'all a wave from Western Australia 👌
Waving right back at ya... From Melbourne! One JT fan to another!
Lyrics are good. I love 60’s and 70’s Jethro Tull.
One of the very best songs from the new album. Impressive music and very good lyrics... It definitely stroke a chord with me.
Could you explain them to me? It seems to be saying that racism is bad and also that we should beware of people based on their genetics. Often described as racism.
Deep meaning, symbols of the life and nowadays society... just add a wonderful song... It's Jethro Tull!!!! Awesome!!! 👍🏻👍🏻✨👑✨🇮🇹🤟🏻❤️🙋🏻♀️‼️☯️
I really don't think any musician can paint a more vivid image with lyrics than Ian Anderson
What I like about Jethro Tull and in particular Mr Anderson, they always sum up realism, the lyrics and music is so clear cut it’s untrue, always been true to themselves. This song sums up current times and a sorry state we are in. Sublime
Always a pleasure to listen to your magnificent music, you must be commended for your service to humanity.
Easily the best song released so far
Mr.Anderson - мое почтение!!!
Отличный трек!
I was sore as a dog who had encountered a porcupine for the first time when Martin Barre and Ian departed company. Tull were those two in my eyes...This is changing me to understand..Musically this is one very good and sound stuff ! yep ! good deal !! Even this old dog can learn ( me)
Martin's son had been playing after Mart retired. Young Mr. Barre is likely still the man.
Спасибо, Мастер Андерсон! Актуальная тема. Музыка, как всегда восхитительна! Здоровья и творческого долголетия!
One of the most influential bands for me. If I can one day capture even a fraction of the talent that has been consistently shown from Tull then I'll be a happy musician.
I picked a total winner to listen to from the mid 70s until today. Frequent tours, many group and solo releases, depth and variety of music all wrapped up in a respectable work ethic that should inspire all. Creativity from start to finish and who knows if there is more to come!
Amazing álbum. One of my favourites bands ever. Thanks for this New álbum. Ótimo disco. Uma das minhas bandas favoritas de sempre. Jethro Tull para sempre. J.T. Forever
Man there's no denying this is the Tull I love ..... and it's the best complement I can give the musicians in the band .... I hear Martin Barre Jeff Hammond and John Evan as clear as day. It's amazing how today's real musicians can sound like anyone they like. That's what I call talent .... Tull in any lineup is still the band I grew up with.
Very interesting! Reflects where we are as a society when most people just parrot and imitate without actually thinking the reasons of what they follow. Most of us are divided into groups because of ideologies and modes, climbing on the bandwagon, many people become fanatics, which is catastrophic. It always happened, but the age of television, and social media seems to serve perfectly in shaping thoughts ...
Just let's not forget at the end we are all in this pudding. We are just human beings, that's how we are born. We have more in common than differences. Extremes are dangerous for humanity.
No one has the right to tell you that you don' t have to think cause someone else thinks for you instead of you.
It's a nice song too, although musically my favorite new is Sad city sisters so far. The video is very good too. Great messages.
Hello Ian Anderson 👏👏👏
Great lyrics analysis! I agree and the videoclip sums it all up! Great song and even greater with the deep of its words! 🎶🤘
@@marcoraz6880 Hello Marco, glad you like it! I like interpretation and understanding and love Jethro Tull ❤️
This track and video are awesome! Ian Anderson sounds great! I also grew up listening to tull on my dad's albums, Songs from the wood and aqualung being my all time favorites! They're just a legendary band, period. God Bless em!
JT...after all these years still manages to sound so good, sure makes you think with his lyrics, never get tired of that flute, just what we need..
This tickles the cockles of my old heart! Thank you!
Ian Anderson has done it again! Beautiful, mate!🍻
Great sound, great lyrics and a stonkingly good video to boot. I have not been as excited as this waiting for a new Jethro Tull album since 1973.🩰
With a taste of blues, fortunately, and a controlled loud guitar, sounds great in HI-FI! Love the band always. Yes Ian Anderson one of the greatest artist of the glorious XX century and nowdays on the road of XXI.
Absolutely stunning song! They inspired me to start playing the flute when I was kid and I’ve been playing for 10 years now! So thrilled they are back
I play flute as well. I love playing Bouree and Living in the Past.
That would make you what early 20s?
Such a great album...I love it!
Amazing as true artists can keep the genius side flowing though all these decades!!
Man, I saw ian in 1979 when I was 16 at the Memphis TN, Mid South Coliseum. It was a profoundly good show, and I still remember elements of it vividly although I spent most of it making out with my new sweetheart (later my wife.) So cool to hear new music from him in 2022!
I remember listening to heavy horses as a kid on vinal❤ reassuring to see that good music never dies
So refreshing...new Tull 🎶🎶🎶
Is it just me or do all the tracks released so far just seem to be insanely memorable? Shaping up to be a fantastic album to my ears.
They sound pretty strong to me, too!
@@ivc5150 I don't agree, the flute is rather tame compared to the magnificent Shoshana Sleeping.
@@NuntiusLegis its good to have an opinion. Congratulations.
@@ivc5150 So why did you erase yours?
@@NuntiusLegis cos it was a bit boring, much like yours.
Only Ian Anderson can create such a collorfull song with reflexive lyrics, along with a great (and very simple) flute solo while the band perfectly puts all beautifully togheter! Loved it and so far it's the best song released for the new album (in my humble opinion) 🎶🎶🎶🎶🎶
brilliant musicianship with a tale worth listening to.
Love it..love Jethro tull...thanks for the new album!
Fabulous Track Ian! Gotta see you live if your ever in Montreal!
Loved the last two Anderson solo albums/Jethro Tull/Anderson's Tull... whatever he called it. This sounds on par with them. I'm excited
I love how the production and mixing breaks the mold used in rock/prog in the last years. Sounds refreshing.
Still here, still listening, still proud to have walked the earth in the time of JT.
Love you're comment.
The song is well crafted and the message is good. If this represents an average song on the album, it should be pretty solid. I'll buy it. If you haven't seen Pete Pardo's (Sea of Tranquility) recent interview with Ian Anderson, it's worth watching.
Just love this song!! I´ve loved Jethro Tull for so many years!
Me too! Tull was the ultimate live performance back in the day. They used to say "what is a Jethro Tull concert without a hit of acid".
I love it. so far 3 songs from the album, and I like them all. can't wait for the rest of the album
What a brilliant song and music video as well! I am very glad I have been a sturdy Jethro Tull fan for so long and even managed to see them perform live in Aalborg back in early 2018! Rock on, maestro Anderson, much health, and all the best! :)
Grossartig. Kann das Album kaum erwarten. Sound , Video und Text herausragend.
Wow.big fan of tull from long ago, still living in the past.this has just taken me back there, thank you.
Summer 1969...Top of the Pops. On came a hairy, bearded guy with a flute, pulling faces, and singing a groovy song called Living in the Past. Then joy over the years collecting the LPs, going to see Jethro Tull live many times, and getting Ian Anderson to sign a painting I did of him. Favourite album : Songs From the Wood. Really Zen to see the band is still going.
Congratulations on a fantastic new album!!
Love it!! :)
fantastic song Ian is back with his magic .we Tull fans are zealot Gene born to Jethro Tull Music.,
Yes. Finally some brand new Jethro Tull. I love it
JT are always on the top. They are an evergreen.
Return of the King. Just what 2022 needs!
Jethro Tull has a good new album
So great to hear from you. Listen to your music for so many years. Thank you ❤️
Love this song, the art work is fantastic, Ian is a genius I LOVE THIS MAN❤
