Sadly Mike Porcaro the bas-player on most Toto albums passed away yesterday but Toto is otherwise as active as ever. Will go out on tour and their next record is out within days. It's going to be called "Toto XIV" and there is a video out for the song "Orphan". Also the tracks "Holy War" and "Burn" are out for a listen. Have it all a look if you haven't!
actually it makes it easier for me, rather than counting all the way to 17 in 8th notes. also the 7th note seems slightly accented so to me it's natural. count it whatever way you want. in my original comment i should have included " is the best way to count FOR ME" though common sense would dictate that you would already know i was stating my opinion and not a fact :D
No. There are 2 measures of 4 and one measure of 3/16. It NEVER adds up to a full 9 by a 16th note. Or you can see it as 35 16th notes. We made a lengthy, in-depth analysis and transcription of this tune in music school about 16 years ago which included a performance of it.
17/8 people..Then into 4/4..Yes you can subdivide if you want..But Simon said he heard this pattern and played it in 17....
THANK YOU!!! I was trying to figure out if it was an 8 or 9 count for the longest time
This song alone made me a fan of Steve Lukather. Simon Phillips drumming is just lights out.
My doctor told me I have to listen to this at least once a day...
It don´t gives a fuck, count it whatever works for you, just play it right and Simon´ll be proud c:

On the album cover, Lukather defines it as 17/8.
Is it like...17/8?
4/4 + 9/8 people

I wish I could come up with something more intelligent to say than this…but
HOLY SHIT!!!
This song KICKED MY ASS!
Erm... Why not counting a very simple 4/4+9/8, like it is?
7/8 then 10/8 is the best way to count it i think
Amazing song w/ amazing players!
17/8✌
Thanks for bringing me back to High School! Wow! An amazing album!
so accomplished it is beyond human!
well we're really splitting hairs at this point. i'll count it in 4/4 +9/8 rather than 7/8 + 10/8 if it makes you happy :D
genial !!!
und darum morgentliches Wecklied in meinem fiesen Wecker !
4/4 + 9/8 - two melody patterns.
7/8 going to 10/8
Easiest way for me to count it is two measures of 4/4 with an extra eighth at the end. Equals 17/8
yea. i like to see it as 4/4 + 9/8 alternating, though :) a lot easier to keep count
When I was high school student - 20 years ago from now, I listened to this tune and felt so inspired.
quel belle oeuvre

How the bass player anybody know?
John Pena
@@uraniumcranium2613 he didnt ask who the bass player is, he asked how he is doing!! read the fucking question...
Yeah or 4/4 to 9/8. I forced myself thinking 1 and 2 and 3 and 4 - 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9. Made it alot easier hitting the fills
