Wow.
Now those were tough times.
“Their union didn’t survive the end of the war. Inevitably, Herbert returned home a changed man. His elder brother, who had traveled with him to Liverpool to enlist, was on the HMS Hood when it was sunk by the German battleship Bismarck in May 1941, killing all but three hands. On Renown in the South Atlantic, the crew had endured months on an enforced starvation diet which left Herbert requiring long-term hospital treatment. Apart for almost all of their first four years of marriage, when Herbert and Queenie came back together, they found that they hardly even knew each other. Their only child was eighteen months old when they separated; Herbert moved into a lodging house and would visit his son at Southfield Road every Friday night.”
great musician. immense talent. he was better on bass than most lead guitarists.
Oh, Blabbermouth actually published something in between Sebastian Bach’s anti-Trump brain droppings?
Dude got old. Die, like you said.
Wouldnt think there was much
I was quiet
Never smashed my bass
Sand a song about a spider named Boris
Pissed my money away
Did alot of blow and died of a heart attack
....but unlike Pete, never surfed for kiddie porn!
Sorry, couldn't resist. 8>)
His solo in My Generation is iconic. The ‘typewriter’ technique, as he called it, is intriguing.
Which brings me to my next point. Don’t do coke after 50.
Saw them at Busch Stadium in 1989, best concert I ever attended.
John Paul Jones was way better.
Plus he was an admiral in the US navy
I’d be interested except that I detest the estates and heirs who keep cashing in on someone else’s work. So FO grubbers.
“It is an unequivocal fact that in terms of rock bands, THE BEATLES, THE ROLLING STONES and THE WHO represent Year Zero; the beginning of all things, ground-breakers all.”
That’s not the way I remember it.
I love the Beatles and the Who, but I think the Stones are the most overrated band in history. They should either be replaced by the Kinks in that line-up, or at least make it four. Jagger and Richards combined couldn’t write one song as good as 70% of Ray Davies’ work (Jagger couldn’t write a lyric as brilliant as “Lola” or “Apeman” if you put a gun to his head and gave him 20 years to work on it). Plus the Kinks’ songs hold up much better decades later, as testified by the fact that they are far and away the #1 band currently used in licensing of tracks for movies, TV and commercials.
Smash your head against the wall!
(Other than that, it was a great show - Mark Farner, Randy Bachman, Billy Preston...)
Thank you for posting this!
