TWO UPDATES

I finished the Schlicter book, 'So You Wanna Be A Rock And Roll Star'. As sick as the music industry is, I think Mr. Schlicter would have written a different book if his band was any good.

I forgot about two drummer solo records; Cozy Powell's 'Over The Top', 1979, an all instrumental record, Cozy's attempt at fusion I suppose, I own it, I never listen to it, and Herman Rarebell's 'Nip In The Bud' 1981, which I rather like. Herman's idea of a solo record is to play drums with a band other than the Scorpions. Thankfully, on 'Nip In The Bud', he does not sing. He also has an album out called 'Herman Ze German', which, sadly, I do not own, but Charlie Hunn, of Nugent's band, plays guitar on it.

Comments:
i ended up hating the guy by the time i had finished the book.

he might be a good drummer, but he's not a guy i'd want to hang out with.

he didn't smoke, drink, or have sex.

what kind of rock star is that?
 
Exactly. He was complaining about being bored on the road, jeez.....
