I was listening to skyscraper today and thought about his climbing and then thought what happened to his dog and sheepdog trials. Maybe he is off doing this weeks new obsession , knitting , scuba diving or origami.

[PETE'S BROTHER]

It's called Sitting At Home Moping. It's all the rage these days.

And I liked most of Skyscraper. Seems like it was the Tower Record where he repelled down the billboard for the release. Ahh...the good old days. Back when we were all young. Except for Von. I think he turned 50 that year.

Sounds a lot more poppy now than it did at the time , hina is still a great song .
Von at the time had a striped penny farthing.

Skyscraper is a strange kind of time travel.

Scraps - when was EEAS recorded, what months? You're the only person I can think of who might know. I seem to remember it was late 85 and perhaps into early 86.

that was a weird gig. Too many peeps. I was miles from the stage. Was Megadeth and Guns N' Roses on the bill? All I remember is my hangover and wanting to find a bed to lie down in ...

[vandeleur]

Jeez, I really don't know, man! Honestly. I think sometime after the movie fell apart -- up until then, he was still working with Nile Rodgers, who was scoring / co-ordinating the soundtrack to the CFTH movie.

I'd guess it was done quickly, and it came out when? Weekend of July 4th 1986?. With Ted Templeman producing, etc., I doubt they'd have spent a long time in the studio. I think Ted only worked about three days a week on producing, because he was V-P of Warners as well.

I ditched most of my paper archives, but maybe I have something on the laptop ...

last indication that the film was still in progress was an interview with Nile Rodgers in New York magazine, published February 24, 1986. It could have been based on an interview done some time before that, but in that interview what he was doing at the moment was working on the instrumental music for Dave's movie.

So, what would you say? EEAS recorded in Spring 86, round about then?

The movie studio folded in October of 85. So I'm thinking you're right - sometime after October 85. Apparently he recorded it in NY and California.

I just wish I could remember when he auditioned Gregg cause that would narrow it down.

I think I was lying next to our travelling bus by the time Maiden came on. Pretty certain I never saw them.

The problem with travelling from Scotland to Donnington back then was we always had to ride down on a bus the night before, so that meant that everyone got wrecked on the bus and were totally hungover the next day. Don't think I ever saw the headliners.

Yeah, back when you could present yourself as anything, and people believed you. Seems there's a lot of people that still believe all that stuff about this guy. Vandy, haven't you read the photographers account of the Dave "climbing" photo shoot? If not, it's gotta be posted somewhere around here. It's fucking hilarious.
