For all his talent, good looks and brilliant voice, Stevie was a tragic case, google John Gotti and Stevie Marriot, it makes fascinating reading.
Stevie was THE Mr Mod in the '60's, we saw them play in Soho around 1969 and later at the Lyceum in The Strand, absolutely magical.

^^^ the rock n roll highway (to hell) is littered with casualties, ripped off by unscrupulous managers, accountants, lawyers and record companies.
The flag of piracy flies in my house, I have no problem giving anyone copies of what I have for free.
Home taping is killing music, yeah right, utter BS, the record companies ripped the artists off for more than I ever did.
I am no fan of either Elton John or George Michael, however I salute them for their stance on standing up to these rip off record companies.
See John Fogerty and Bill Nelson for details.

Believe me, you didnt miss much, if truth be told, you didnt miss anything, the music scence was totally dire, the music coming out the uk was rubbish. The Town & Country Club in London was my second home, should have booked in for long term b&b. Witnessing all these guitar groups no_one has ever heard of. Thankfully the yanks and ozzys came to our rescue and spared us the mediocrity of such rubbish as the thompson twins and that fat cow alison moyet. As you may now have realised, I love proper geetar music, in particular '60s garage bands, and obscure groups long lost. The GODFATHER of them all, the MIGHTY LINK WRAY. |

I'm glad I missed the punk music era, fortunately, I was still hooked on US heavy metal, Aerosmith and of course AC/DC from down under. As far as I can tell the wheel kinda fell off the UK music scene after about 1985, there was such a huge burst or rather flood of great music in the preceding fifteen years it was hard to maintain the momentum and people seemed to stop trying. It's odd that today, 30 years on, my favourite listening music was mostly all produced in the fifteen-year span from '70 to '85. Zepplin had written most of their music by around 1975 or so, they just hadn't released it. So when the time was right, periodically they handed over fourteen tracks or so to the record company who then produced the albums - there was definitely something in the water around that time!

So when the time was right, periodically they handed over fourteen tracks or so to the record company who then produced the albums - there was definitely something in the water around that time! , no offence, you are probably older than me, and you were probably lucky enough to witness the first coming of punk, three chord wonders, The Who, The Kinks, The Animals, followed by The Yardbirds, Cream and Pink Floyd, into the late 60s, Free, early 70s, Bowie, T Rex, Elton John, Queen, Roxy Music. I witnessed punk in the 70s, what a godsend, could go and see bands in my local cinema, all the hippy bands never toured, never released singles and hit the uk for tours in some deserted airfield or statley home about every 4 years coz of tax reasons. In the above I include all those prog rock groups (that I hated) such as Yes, ELP and Genesis, thank the lawd for such groups as Dr Feelggod and the mighty RORY GALLAGHER, yes Rory was indeed in your town. |
