that's great! pinder is an amazing musician. i love the songs he did with the moodies and the mellotron has to be the coolest instrument made. so perfect for the psychedlic scene. it's saddening to think that he and edge don't talk. a lot shit goes down in life and to forgive is all you can do. i hope greame can find it in his heart.

i've always preferred the eerie sound of the mellotron over the spaced-out sound of the moog synthesizer (with maybe the exception of manfred mann's minimoog). i can't remember the excitement of listening to strawberry fields one day with a set of headphones and suddenly realizing the flutes were actually a mellotron! i'm glad to see many newer artists bringing back the mellotron in their music. it's a great sounding instrument. thanks mike, for your contribution to rock!

Very very very good. There'a a Chicago DJ who always plays Mike Pinder but I never knew much about him until now.

Mike sounds more American than he used to. I guess from living in California so long.

Mike Pinder, one of the driving force of the Moodies. Fond memories in the days of futures past. Sat back stage behind Pinder (when he had hair) and marveled at his work with the Melotron. I wondered why his hands moved out of beat until years later knowing that he had to keep one step ahead of the instruments slow action. Wished I would have paid more attention. Nice tribute to Gramme and apologies.

I have a new respect for this man. That was VERY nice of him to apologize, and you could tell that he really felt it.

I remember noticing on the credits, back when I was 14? 15? on my brother's copy of the Imagine album, Mike Pinder being listed. It was kind of surprising. :-) The incident with Justin reminds me of the famous one between Paul and Ringo during the White Album, when Paul said something derogatory about Ringo's drumming, and Ringo left for what, a week? In any case, they say when Ringo finally returned, his drum set was bedecked with roses all over it. It is very moving. Bless u,Mr. Pinder!

Oh man.. was glad to see this! And everyone is right about Mike. A reunion tour would be something I would die to see, but I would be happy with them doing just one SHOW for old times sake. Like others have said... before its too late!
