Yeah, he has bit of a history of gypsy's kissing people off. I seem to remember reading something about his bass player leaving as a result. Maybe he came back after, I don’t know. I’m sure I read it somewhere. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, he had just lost $2,500,000 of his own money funding the tour of Russia 🤔 Edited August 4, 2022 by Bunion Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hissy fits? Mate of mine had a meltdown on stage following a long-running issue with the singer. He put his guitar down, told the singer and audience he was leaving the band, apologised, walked off stage to the bar, bought a pint and watched the rest of the gig. Much classier. He also saud afterwards that if he was being honest the band sounded better without him anyway 👍 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He sunk the 2.5 in to get there as they were all payed in rubles which were pretty worthless back then. The gigs were attended by officials who were given free tickets so the crowd was pretty stinky poo until they left giving the tickets to younger people outside. The film crew were trying to get footage of the crowd and every time they put the spotlights on them they froze being used to spotlights meaning they were under surveillance. Apparently he kept telling the film crews to stop (you can hear him between song lyrics) as the crowd were getting into it when in the dark, but they ignored him. I never liked his music or his attitude generally and I agree he looks a Richard but it’s an interesting article to read Edited August 4, 2022 by Bunion 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
