Yeah, I know, it's poor to have two threads in a row, but I just found [a href=\'http://www.classicrockrevisited.com/interviews02/Bad+Company+Interview+2002.htm\' target=\'_blank\']this[/a] and thought I'd share it with those of you who don't know it. The interesting part of the interview follows:
[!--QuoteBegin--][div class=\'quotetop\']QUOTE[/div][div class=\'quotemain\'][!--QuoteEBegin--]Jeb: What was life for you before Bad Company?
Bucket: I had been in various bands. I did an album with Adrian Smith of Iron Maiden called Adrian Smith & Project. Zack Starkey was on drums. I was in a band called Sampson before that.
Jeb: The Sampson with Bruce Dickenson?
Bucket: No, it was just after that. Most of the people in our Sampson ended up going to join Iron Maiden. Clive Burr was in the band when I was in it. I actually wrote a B Side for Iron Maiden called “Reach Out” for a single off of Somewhere In Time. Me and Adrian have been mates for years. We used kick around in bands in London. Maiden were looking for another guitar player and I happened to be living in a flat with Adrian and another guy and none of us were interested. We were like, “Nah, no thanks.” Finally Adrian goes, “You know what? I will just go down there and see what this is all about.” Two weeks later he is on stage at the Hammersmith Odeon! [/quote]
Just thought some of you may be interested [!--emo&
