70's Glam/Rock

Just the same, that don't make it true just because one guy said so over drinks. Nevertheless, an interesting, though unproven rumour.

Regarding the "hired gun" brought in to play for Joe Perry thing: I don't know about this particular instance, and just as Gregg said above:<br><br><blockquote> that don't make it true just because one guy said so over drinks</blockquote><br><br>However: I can honestly say that this is (was) standard industry procedure, especially in cases of a young group's first major label effort. I can think ofplenty of times in which it was the poor drummer who had to step aside in the studio. In other cases band members' parts weren't replaced per se, butringers were brought in to perform uncredited solos.<br><br>Okay, that's enough of my "rock and roll mythology debunking" for now!

Very cool thread John. Haven't listened to some of these artists in a long time. Especially Slade.<br>Dave.

I brought my brother's copy of Sladest to hear in our 8th grade music class. (My pal Dean brought a Yes album) Our General Music teacher did not know whatelse to with us by the end of the 1975 school year---ToM/NOLa---PS Look for my 1000th post over on Redliners Unite

John and I have talked about these bands for years now. In fact, Roxy Music did a tour in 2001 with all original members minus Eno. The first gig on that tourwas in my backyard at the Tweeter Center in Camden NJ (Camden's right across the Delaware River from Philly). They were UNREAL. I've been listening tothem since 72/73.<br><br>I didn't think there were this many Roxy fans here on this site. It's very warming to my heart <img src="http://static.yuku.com//domainskins/bypass/img/smileys/eek.gif" alt="image"><br><br>Anita-tremendous video. I thought I was going nuts for a while there as they didn't show Eno until near the end. There was a rumor that Roxy was going totry to tour again with Eno. I guess it fell apart.<br><br>Back in '72, Bowie and the Spiders from Mars came to Philly for a 3 night gig at the Tower Theater. That was for a Tues, Wed, and Thurs. Ironically, Mottwas booked for that Monday. Yes, I went all 4 nights. When Mott was playing, Bowie came on unannounced playing his little sax in the background on "Allthe Young Dudes" and singing. I can still here him saying "carry their ludes-boogaloo dudes-carry their ludes".<br><br>As far as Lou Reed...the very first rock group I ever saw was the Velevt Underground and Nico. That was in '66. That was still the Andy WarholVelvet's. Anyway, very recently some lost recordings from the Underground recorded live from the Gymnasium were found. There's a 19 minute version ofSister Ray. Here's the addy for downloads (hope this works). It's very raw<br><br><font color="midnightblue" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><span class="spnMessageText" id="msg"></span></font><font color="midnightblue" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica" size="2"><a target="_blank" href="http://licorice-pizza.blogspot.com/2008/02/vu-workout-in-gymnasium.html">http://licorice-pizza.blogspot.com/2008/02/vu-workout-in-gymnasium.html</a><br><br>Allan<br><br></font><br><br><br><br><br><br><br>

Hey Allan---Thanx for addy about VU. I had no idea you had caught them so early on. I have seen some cool bands over the years but Lou Reed and Roxy and Bowiehave all somehow eluded me. My brother has had better luck---he saw Lou in KC during the Bells tour and Roxy Music in St. Lou for the Manifesto tour. In recentyears, I've come to love that trio of T-Rex records: Electric Warrior, The Slider and Tanx. The Tony Visconti production wrapped around all that trippyMarc Bolan stuff was fantastic. You can see why Bowie has hooked up with Visconti so many times over the years---ToM/NOLa
