Re: Possession: Tyne Tees TV 1980
Drummers are the goalies of bands and he has the safest pair of hands. Pathetic that he is never included in the interminable best ever lists

Re: Possession: Tyne Tees TV 1980
He does indeed seem a tad over beveraged. The fact that he seems not to recall the lyrics in a few places reminds me of something I have meant to remark upon for some time. Namely, has anyone else noticed that Pete Thomas seems to know all the words to every song and mouths them along with Elvis in ...

Re: What's your best ever EC gig?
I attended Leeds University 1982-1985 and Elvis played the "fresher's ball" in my 1st week. Set list comprised 33 songs including a variety of clues as to his future direction(s). The power, ferocity and diversity of the set was stunning. His voice was better than anything he had recorded ...

Sebastian Krys
I think it's worth recognising that since Sebastian Krys has been associated with EC his commercial and critical stock has improved immeasurably. One can debate the merits of the projects which preceded his involvement (many of which were and remain criminally underrated) but the uptick in EC's fort...

Re: Elvis and Diana at exclusive screening of “The Beatles Get Back”
When Apocalypse Now! was released Francis Ford Coppola said that the NME review of the movie (I think by Paul Du Noyer) was the only critique that truly grasped his vision. One of many examples of the standard at the time. A shame that some turned out to have feet of clay

Re: Elvis and Diana at exclusive screening of “The Beatles Get Back”
For our American brethren Neil McCormick was editor of the NME in its heyday when it was brilliantly written by some of the best journalists (and I don't just mean music journalists) of their generation. Interesting that he chose to name check EC first
