Prog Icon Steven Wilson On Relating To Fans
.
(Prog) Steven Wilson says he aims to get the audience onside by reminding them that he's "just an idiot." The prog hero says humility is the key to forming a bond with gig crowds and adds that he goes out of his way to remind them that he's just a regular guy. Wilson tells Musicradar: "I'm just trying to highlight the fact that I'm no different to them, except the fact that my job happens to be - if you call it a job - writing and performing songs. "I'll put on the best show I can, but I will always go out of my way to remind the audience that I'm just an idiot, basically. I do try to talk to the audience and I think it's important, when you're on stage. I mean, there's something inherently bizarre about the idea of being on stage in front of a couple of thousand people. So, between songs when I'm talking to the audience, I'm kind of just joking with them." Read more here. Prog Magazine is an official news provider for antiMusic.com. |
