Hi Jeff.  The name was chosen some years before I joined the band; and if they told me who chose it, and why, I have long since forgotten.  As for the historical connection, I’m afraid it didn’t exist.  The record company farmed-out the design of the album cover; what succeeded was all they...

Hello again.  I forgot to respond to the request for the Beckett album.  Last year I spoke to Warner Music about a re-release; they were not interested.  A couple of independent record labels were interested however.  Unfortunately, the mixed-down master tapes have been lost (rather careless of...

Upon the My-Oh-My!  I am overwhelmed!  I’ll take things, as ever, in order. Am I really the Keith Fisher of the band Beckett?  Yes, some proof, I agree, would not come amiss.  Tricky one this.  I can’t, for the life of me, figure out how to accomplish that.  Anything I offer could have been...

Mr. Darko.  Without wishing to provide further proof of my pedantry, might I humbly suggest you re-read my initial missive.  If you can find even a hint of inference to the ‘aggrieved party’ in there, then I seriously hope you will point it out to me - as I took great pains to present my...

Thank you, yet again, Jeff, for your input and praise; as I've said on one of the Youtube sites, it is most gratifying to experience such a renewal of interest in what is really ancient history.  I feel bound to say that I have found the responses I received to the issue of Life’s Shadow to be...

Hello Jeff, and thank you for your calm, sensible and very rational response.  Terry and Kenny have indeed associated with the band, and they tell me it was a most excellent occasion too.  Kenny told me just yesterday that he has never in all his years in the music business met such an...

What I find the most difficult aspect of this issue to accept is that Steve ever had any intention of doing anything even remotely questionable.  If Kenny (Beckett member) hadn’t assured me that Steve Harris is nothing short of a diamond geezer, I would have said as much anyway, purely from what...

Thank you gentlemen; my faith in the Metal audience (I was always convinced of their sincerity and their dedication) has been restored. Also, Jonszat raises a very valid point regarding the potential for benefit in the outcome of this issue; although it won't be me personally.  Fortunately...

Is it possible that the estimable league of heavy metal fans out there in the world can deal with questionable slurs on the integrity of their heroes without resorting to puerile contempt?  I suspected not, but I was willing to brave the slings and arrows, etc.  Unfortunately, you two are...

First, let me apologise for starting a new topic on a subject that appears all over this forum, but I wanted to draw everyone's attention to this subject and interest appears to be, as I said before, widespread.  I was the drummer in Beckett back in 73/4 when Steve and Adrian were coming to...
