YoungWillz 21,025 Posted August 5, 2018 11 minutes ago, maryportfuncity said: Hmm A lot of their records were played by session musicians. There's an infamous story in which a DJ tries to entrap a BCR by asking him apparently off-mic what he thinks of their latest single. When he frankly admits it isn't that great he's asked why he didn't say anything as it was being recorded at which point the BCR points out the first time he heard the record was when he heard it on the radio. Given Marr was recruited by Tam Paton from another band, given that Marr was by all accounts a talented keyboardist and given Marr was on their first record and toured with the band, I doubt very much his part was done by a session muso.

Fair point - and he might well have done the parts of others. Guitarist Rob Davies of Mud played quite a few other parts on their records - which saved the record company a few quid in session fees 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Joey Russ 7,220 Posted August 7, 2018 I’m probably going to drop him next year tbh. While he’s probably going to be a goner in a few years time, I’d rather not keep guessing on how long the treatment can last him... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, I expect the death of the band after the tour ends. Bon Scott - Dead. Malcolm Young - dementia. Brian Johnson - Hearing problems. Phil Rudd - Breaking the law.... Hell, if Angus leaves, means Axl Rose is left! Brian Johnson and Phil Rudd reportedly both returning to AC/DC. http://loudwire.com/looks-like-brian-johnson-phil-rudd-back-acdc/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But perhaps a Su Wukong one. Wiki page needs updating (Roey Juss, STAT) I don't mind pop music from the pre-Elvis 50s.... but this isn't very good imho. Thank God that Don Cherry of hockey fame came around and resurrected the name from it's lows of 1955. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Spade_Cooley 9,515 Posted August 21, 2018 Dame Joan Hammond was a leading female amateur golfer before taking to opera full-time. Bing Crosby's son, Nathaniel Crosby, turned pro in the early 1980s and played on the European tour. He featured on a number of his father's records. Anthony Armstrong Jones (not the ex royal husband) was a former professional golfer who became a low-level country star in the late 60s/early 70s. And Althea Gibson, the first black person to win a tennis grand slam (1955 French Open), later turned to careers in both professional golf and music after racism curtailed her time on the court. Because if you want to avoid racism, you go to a golf course. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
