So, you bump into your musical hero...

[TheExcession]

Who would it be?
What would you talk about?

Me, I'd love to catch Miles Hunt, and also Ian Anderson, and Troy Donockley.

I'd buy them all a pint, but I'd really want to ask Miles how he/they wrote that album called 'Never Loved Elvis'.

I think maybe he was a few semitones out, but hey!

Many years ago I worked on a music magazine and interviewed the late Steve Marriott about his guitar collection. I tried so hard to be cool I asked him this epic question :

"So how old is your '56 Telecaster?"

I've been waiting a long time for a reason to smile, and that was A1

Many years ago I met Mark Chadwick (Levellers) one evening, I told him I'd used his words to teach a whole load of Thai kids 'contemporary English poetry'. He looked a bit stunned.

Incidentally he accepted and we sat for 15 mins chatting about his music, how he met the guys in his band and he thoughts on music in general.

It's fking great isn't it!

Back in youth time, I was working as an instrument technician at ICI at Alderley Park, there was a lad that worked in the stores dept that used come deliver all the bottles of chemicals we needed.

A spitting image of Slash, and a very decent guitar player.

Eventually we got friendly enough so that he came out to see a band called 'You Slosh' at the Manchester 'Band on the wall', great!

At the end of the gig we managed to get back stage, so half of us were half cut, and he walks in and says "Hahaha You Slosh... Me Slash"


I guess you had to be there...

I was drinking at the bar in a quiet pub near Kidderminster in 1978 when Led Zeppelin's John Bonham came in, ordered a pint and sat two bar stools away from me.

As a huge Zeppelin fan I couldn't believe it.

I said "Hello John".

He rose from his stool, downed his pint in five seconds, said "fk off" and walked straight out.
What a star.......

You told us that story months ago

Hero..? Did somebody say musical HERO...?

FFS, it's only bloody music.

Nice troll attempt....

Not really, I simply can't understand why human beings fawn over other human beings.

@mybrainhurts
I've been pondering the fawning issue, and given that you've been in these parts as long as I have, I'm a little dissapointed that you would write off all those moments that a lot of us really feel.

I'm playing The Wonderstuff I simply can't understand why human beings don't find this music worth fawning over.
