Ralf1e Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Lead guitarists and singers will always want to be number one as will talented keyboardist. The first thing a music publishing company does is see who they can split off to be the number one and pay you other mugs a cheap wage eg the three degrees became ....................... The shadows became........................... I won't go on You can think of dozens between you, go on list them lets see how many we get. You can work it out. Its a recipe. Turn said band into our pet what ever they are and the band that put them there into just that. they don't care as long as they can end up dealing with one not 4,5 or 6 because ONE is easier to control than 4,5 or 6. Dont belive me? Fine follow the Ostrich. Edited August 22, 2022 by Rich Misogynistic and homophobic language removed 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I worked in Shelia's band(s) as a Bassist a fair bit in the 90's and early 2000's. No publishing company mugged anyone off. Eventually, they may well have passed like ships in the night as an act, but there were other reasons why the Three Degrees became One Degree cooler. Both the Two Degrees and The One Degree carried on performing all the hits in their separate endeavours without any problems from publishing companies.

Bassfinger Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Jet Harris was booted ott the Shadows for trying one too many times to play while pithed, and Tony Meehan couldn't be arsed to get out of bed and turn up for shows and eventually quit before being pushed. They then joined forces and had a couple of hits of their own before booze and epic lie-ins became a problem again. In both instances publishers, managers, random music industry figures, or the Illuminati had nothing to do with it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doctor J Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 In Terminator 2: Judgment Day, in the scene where Robert Patrick, playing the T-1000, drives the truck off the bridge, into the levee, you can clearly see the right-front trackrod break and the wheel break alignment and spear to the right. However, in the next scene, the truck is grand. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Uninterestingly, Lemonsole, Blake & Farmer were originally called Follow The Ostrich and unfortunately their first album of bland psychedelia was called the same. Bonus Fun Fact...

Rich Posted August 22, 2022 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Kraftwerk's first album had the working title "Folge Dem Strauß" until Florian decided it would be far funnier to call it Kraftwerk instead. Brixton used to be in Wantage, but the residents complained. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
