Quotehopkins I'd be wondering which run of Herman's Hermits albums was their 'golden period.' No, it would've been Eric Burdon and The Animals. They would've made their way down to London in 1962. But one of the members had to complete school. So dirty, gritty R&B still would've been the thing. And ALO would've gone from working for the Be

No, but the lives of certain other musicians undoubtedly would have. Without Mick Jagger's/ALO's behind the scenes maneuverings, a certain band also with Dartford connections wouldn't have been blacklisted after 1965... But the Stones were inevitable. Whenever they played steadily in clubs in the early days, their following would simply grow and grow. Their specific

On an individual level, surely Keith regrets the death of his son, which happened while he was away from home and out on the road. As he wrote in Life, it still hits him about once a week. But other what they've admitted to publicly, I wouldn't presume to speak for them on their innermost personal concerns. I'm more interested in the music, and how it relates to my own exp

QuoteBig Al So, he was drunk on stage in '62 and '63? I'm sure there's been plenty of sober performances in the past. As far as I'm aware, Keith's alcoholism stated to develop after he managed to break free from heroin addiction. I'm not sure this would qualify as alcoholism, but in the Marquee '71 show he did seem to have a nipple on the bottle.
