I'm sure this is well known but I probably never noticed until now that Francis quickly quotes Rockin' On during 4500x...

Andy Bown, in his radio interview last year, says he is the only one who has Pete's phone number and who is still in contact with him. CalonFM might get an interview out of Mr Kircher yet!!

Happy Birthday Pete! (A shot of his kit taken at one of the many shows at the Hammersmith Odeon, 1982, before the encore)  |

Well, he was basically ditched without been told and Rick and Francis never spoke to him again? Andy the only one to keep in contact? Seems bad form. Pete, to the best of my knowledge, didn't do any wrong to any of them. Just smacks of rudeness to me |

Frame does refer to his treatment of Pete in his 'I never f**king stop talking' book - and it does seem that he, at least now, regrets how it was handled at that time. Having said that, I guess there's nothing to stop FR calling Pete now [assuming he hasn't yet!] G |

Being an old git, I remember Rossi, around the time of ITAN, in some interview saying he felt bad about the band’s treatment of Pete but that Rick’s rhythm came as a unit that seemed to work and that it was just to record an album to get the record company off their backs and get some money in. Rick being a bit skint at that point. There’s also an interview with Rhino where he says that they, the widum section, had no intention of touring until Francis told him how much money they would get..

Here's Pete holding down a solid beat in his earlier band, Shanghai, with Mick Green of The Pirates.
