That is the closest I've ever got to musical notoriety.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So Iined up my family, parents, pals etc to listen. GC played the track and then read out the old line-up with the name of the previous bassist ... 🙄 Story of my life. I recorded an album last year. When the band released a promotional video of the first single from the album, it featured another player miming to MY bass parts. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some guys that I play with have recorded an album that I haven’t played on at all due to lockdown, but when they have put a few tracks upon the internet the video montage featured plenty on shots of me. They are aiming to release the album – I don’t know if they will credit me or the guitar player / songwriter whose guide bass parts they have kept. I was nearly credited on an album that was released last year that the keys player and guitarist were involved with that not only didn’t I play on, but I have never heard and can’t even remember the name of the band. They wanted to credit someone who was known as a bass player and my name apparently was put forward (dunno who they credited in the end)!

Strangely enough, I've just been contacted about this. A German specialist label is interested in licensing the finished album and want band photos and a promo video. There is some money involved, but not enough to make anyone rich! I've been asked to be in the video / pics. Surely rock stardom awaits, all be it thirty years too late...!!
