Can't tell you how frustrating it's been over the years. To have skirted around things, if everything had come off that was 'definitely' going to, I'd be a Fekkin global megastar by now. :-/
Let's talk about my old support band, - now kasabian, or the other group of Kids that used to play with us that went on to become the new happy Mondays.
The guitarist mate that left the band, took our songs to London and signed a huge deal two weeks later.
The missed Bon Jovi support, the oh so So so so close to having Brian May guest on the Double Cross album. (We had Bob Catley from Magnum instead!)
The enormous Japanese distribution deal, (fell foul of an idiot record co guy and strict Japanese protocols) countless tv shows that never happened etc etc, all sorts of heartache lol
These days I'm a strict pessimist !
On the plus side I have also done some very cool stuff, that many people will only ever dream of, so not all bad.
