Re: Steven Seagal...
Wow. I was actually amazed that it wasn't as horrible as I thought it would be.
I hate to say it....but I actually kind of liked the song.

Re: Steven Seagal...
It's hard to watch him, but his voice is better than many people selling hit records these days.

Re: Steven Seagal...
I liked it too.
It kind of reminded me of Clapton's My Father's Eyes.

Re: Steven Seagal...
Well, I don't like it, but...
...it's no worse than any of the other dreck on the radio these days.
Color me disappointed in popular music.
Steven Seagal is just adding to the noise.

Re: Steven Seagal...
His singing wasn't bad. Much better than the after seminar, drunken aikidoka, Karaoke nights I've been to! Oy Vey!
Come on! Those Mt. Dew commercials were hilarious! At least he was poking fun at himself.

I'd bet Eb gaeshi would work well. But you either have to tune the guitar specially or perform the technique in a higher octave. For that reason I favor Am nikkyo.
You do have to watch for the (C)ounter with the last one, though.

Re: Steven Seagal...
Actually, although I'm not particularly a fan of the blues, it wasn't half bad. His singing is definitely better than his more recent movies.

Re: Steven Seagal...
That interview was horrible. He came across as inarticulate and does wonders for the image of aikidoka. Such wonderful statements: "Gatemouth never said anything nice about nobody, but what a great player. I'm the only one he was nice to. He would show me techniques, which he didn't do for anybody." and another gem: ". . .but I don't think I've ever played in Seattle. I don't have any memory of it, at least, but I might have been drunk."
I noticed in some of his later movies he has taken on a street style of talk. Is this an effort at trying to be hip?

Hey people have gone into music in worse ways; think about Shatner's "spoken word" phase.

Re: Steven Seagal...
If it's all the same to you, I'd rather not contemplate William Shatner or Leonard Nimoy doing anything remotely intended to resemble music.
But, saying the Seagal's efforts are good in comparison is damning with faint praise.

Re: Steven Seagal...
I had a really interesting experience in France. My Mom-in-law and fiance and I were sitting around watching tv, and there was Steven Seagal on some game show or other. It was pretty bad. But hey, the man was getting paid!
Best,
Ron
