Interesting bit about Hold You Back. Tells the story just like he's talking about mystery song....I wonder if he simply got them mixed up?
Great listening to Rick playing HYB. I'd assumed it was two guitars to create that sound, but it's basically just Rick
I thought this was a rossi/young song. Just googled and it's also credited to Rick. He must have written that intro and handed the rest over to francis and bob
Is HYB the only song credited to Rick, Francis and Bob?

I was at that Harrods thing. The most amazing thing of all was that not only did he turn up, he turned up pretty much on time  He also asked if anyone wanted to come up and try their hand at the opening bars of Caroline which one bloke did. And he nicely demonstrated that something which sounds so simple is probably very difficult. Rick's true legacy. Quite a sizeable number of people there as well. Harrods were doing this thing at the time - no idea why - but they pulled the plug on it, I think, after they did something similar with Kylie and the crowds got out of hand. I'd have to check for Rossi/Young/Parfitt compositions. I'm sure there must be one or two others. Although the Rossi/Parfitt combination has been thin on the ground for a very long time. |

There was a thread on this somewhere else recently. I remember posting on it. Or I might have imagined it. I should maybe get tested |

I mean, he also got the story wrong about how his original double cut-away Melody Maker broke. It wasn't due to the tension of the strings, he fell off the drum riser during Little Lady and snapped the neck at some point during the Army tour. |
