In today's music world there would be no Pink Floyd, David Bowie, etc. they made whole albums.

All so true, and perhaps the thing that stands out most is
They want only to be famous anyway they can. Artist have no foundation . They don't know who they are.
All the wannabees who endlessly parade onto X-Factor, Pop Idol and the like, and are just grist to the mills of people like Cowell for one quick hit single. and who are distraught when they don't make the cut, saying this is all they ever wanted to do. Which begs the question, why don't they make a start and work their way up? Success that comes as a gameshow prize is fleeting and insubstantial for all but a very few .. and those have sufficient talent that they could have made it the traditional way imo, given they had some drive and determination.
Meat fought his way to the top the hard way, with talent, creativity and a fierce drive, not to "be famous" but to perform, to create, to make the most of the talent he was blessed with. And that continuing journey and commitment is what has developed his creative vision, which in partnership with Rob Cavallo has finally been let loose :)
My head's still buzzing with what I heard yesterday, and I realised today adventure and ride are two such relevant words to describe the experience. If I were to go on the most amazing thrill ride in an adventure park and people were to ask me what it was like, I'm not an engineer .. I can't explain the technicality of the ride itself, only describe the feeling of being on it. In the same way I can't explain how our engineer has visioned, designed and brought HCTB to a reality, I can only try and convey the thrill of the ride, the feeling of being swept this way and that as a kaleidoscope of different impressions whirled around me ..
.. and of course, instead of losing my lunch, I lost my socks
