bh2 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Sorry... I couldn't post a comment on utube. What a load of utter garbage. Back to his pap worst of the eighties. Fake motown drivel. Tis a shame because I quite liked Brand X, the first album anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiwi Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Probably worth pointing out that it was pap that made him tens of millions of quid and cemented his presence in the memories of an entire generation. How much did Brand X earn? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wateroftyne Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 He's just doing what he wants to do. I think he knows he's going to be unpopular regardless. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve-soar Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 He said he was retiring, he promised, he did. HE PROMISED. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
barneyg42 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Has to be said he has had health problems, loss of hearing in one ear and more recently nerve damage to his hands which meant he had to tape his sticks to his hands whilst recording the new album, so it's unlikely we will get much decent output from him. A real shame, always loved his drumming, it seems his style has contributed to his hand problems! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's a multi millionaire, records still played around the world 30 years later, palacial pad on a Swiss lake... that's the kind of drivel I was hoping to be playing when I started out.

molan Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 I have to admit I saw him a few times live during the 'pop' years as my wife was a big fan. That touring band with Lee Sklar on bass, Daryl Steurmer on guitar, Chester Thompson on drums (as well as PC) and the amazing Earth Wind & Fire horns was something to behold. Funnily enough I actually saw the horns with EWF around the same time and the PC band was a much better show! Check those horns on this: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris2112 Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 Aye, I had heard he had done his back and hands in due to his atrocious technique on the drums! Doesn't look comfortable at all! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
