FixedBusiness 407 Posted September 21, 2019 1 hour ago, Sir Creep said: Who? Of the What? Derek Trucks is a blues rock guitarist. He is the nephew of Butch Allman, was in The Allman Bros from 1999 on, and is married to blues rock musician Susan Tedeschi. He always had a rotating cast of musicians on his albums and live performances, so I can't assure you I totally know who Scott is, but deserves to be here nonetheless (just because you haven't heard of em, doesnt mean I or Phantom haven't heard of them-rule, fyi ) 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You're treating him as some sort of trade secret. But at least now we all know he's one of your players, so you kind of played yourself. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinegar Tits 605 Posted November 27, 2019 Ooh, I've met Frankie Banali - when he was playing with W.A.S.P. on 'The Headless Children' tour. He seemed a good guy. Mind you, so did Chris Holmes... Sure I've got a picture of him - I'll try and dig it out. Looks skinny and jaundiced on that picture above - touch and go whether he'll see 2020 I'd say.
