    • @danielg335
      @danielg335 3 года назад +2

      Underated? No. How do you explain the indurance and the new fans coming from every decade since the seventies? They were commercially unsuccessful when you compare to other bands from that era . They certainly did not appeal to everybody, this was the deal from the beginning anyway. But underated, they never were.

      @@danielg335 Yes i stand by my comment-they were and still are although it has improved in last few years give or take definetly criminally underated especially when you compare them in terms of overall record sales, radio airplay concert sales and attendance promotion accolades and recognition in general.Bands like genesis Yes. jethro tull. Elp.rush zappa etc (i could keep going and name a lot more) were given and had way more noteriety than gg in all of those catagories.

    Hii
    I listend Giant first time when i lived in Rio 1976. I bought a imported album ( in a glass " fantastic" house) and splash! My music vision was changed in presto!
    After this, Giant went along my entire music life. Doing partnership with names like Mozart, Bach, Beethoven (the trio) Miles, Hancock, Zappa, Duke E., G. Duke, Genesis, And many many...
    So....Thank you guys. Today i have 61 y.o, federal police officer in Brazil, wife, two daughters, a dog, a house, books ( Rabelais one of then kk) and all of yours records, all in vinyl and also CD.
    I would like post one off my favourote's giant songs. This is unfair to me and you, but...." pantagruel's nativity"...delicious!
    Thanks Minear, Shulmans, Green, Weathers, Martin Smith (miss you), Malcon Mortimore, and more.
    Thank you,much obliged to turn my life so special ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

    I'm 57 years old. GG broke up when I was in 9th grade. I never had a chance to enjoy their music as a youngster. I'd always heard of GG, but my prog leanings focused on YES and FOCUS and CAMEL before moving onto The Flower Kings, Neal Morse, Porcupine Tree etc. Then Steven Wilson did the remixes, and I gave Octopus a listen. Can I say that for the past two years I have been OBSESSED with this band, looking up every piece of footage, reading their history, and enjoying the heck out of their interviews. I totally respect their decision not to reunite, but...but...but it would be the greatest musical happening in my life given they are still all around. I am so happy I discovered GG, and will continue to listen to them for years to come.

    I attended just one GG concert.
    The concert is on the latest box set.
    The concert is known as
    "CHESTER, 1977."
    I was born in Chester, fourth generation Chesterite, but we moved out before the concert.
    Another band that began in Chester, 1953, that many UK older rockers would be familiar with was Bill Haley and the Comets!
    I believe I know why the Chester show made the box set. The concert was held at the Widner University fieldhouse. Between the sound crew and the band members, Gentle Giant turned that facility from a fieldhouse to an opera house! When Ray played his violin in quad during the show, you could feel the sound move around the quad matrix with such detail!
    The remastering of the GG cataloge albums was brilliant!

I've never seen such an amazing collection of musicianship; every member commanding over the top skills and creativity - and all put together compositions that are still fresh today. You inspired me to play music and push myself. Don't stop. Please, don't stop. Rerecord. Make new recordings. Please play again. I want to hear more! Love you guys!!
