I've known him for twenty years but I only ever saw him a couple of times a year, now I see him a couple of times a week. He's easily the funniest person I've ever met. The real deal - a *real rock star* who walks it like he talks it. He's a pirate. He smokes Marly reds and drinks red wine. He gets through a can of hairspray a day. He's 44. He'll never try and cancel the third world debt on you - thank god. He met Ken Dodd a few weeks ago and toyed with the idea of renaming his band Echo And The Diddymen. I look up to him - in a way. I think these shows should be really special, they're gonna play stuff they haven't touched for years - I think I suggested some of them - "No Dark Things" for instance. He showed me how to play "The Disease" last night - it was a buzz. Rock on the other Macca!'' Regards, Stevie G. - --------------------------------- Want to chat instantly with your online friends?

Singer Ian McCulloch's voice has warmed nicely over the years, and his was the most impressive of the bunch. Conversely, the dapper Richard Butler of Psychedelic Furs struggled with his vocals and was rusty throughout, though he did earn points after he took a hard fall onstage during 1983's "Inside You" yet continued to sing the song while flat on his back... http://www.variety.com/index.asp?layout=review&reviewid=VE1117921916&cat egoryid=1266&cs=1 ====================================== The Official Seven-Seas Web Page. www.bunnymenlist.com ====================================== ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 27 Sep 2003 13:34:19 -0500 From: "Robert Rice" Subject: seven-seas-moderated Alex Harvey Tribute "Alex" Not sure if this has been mentioned but Ian McCulloch is slated to contribute to the new Alex Harvey tribute CD "Alex" the following info I found on the Alex Harvey Band website: In the meantime, "Alex" recording sessions are underway.
