Also how they had to pay radio stations to play songs from Fair Warning..
EDDIE’S fingers aren’t fingers they are muscle-powered pistons that hammer guitar strings to the fretboard with the force of a rivet gun”.

ron(11779) | I’ve started reading the book. Has anyone kept a list of the inaccuracies in the book? For example, I know from interviews, etc… that the Jimi Hendrix logo thing is wrong. I’ve just read though the “Ozzy goes missing” section, and see that the dates for the 1978 Nashville shows are all wrong? Maybe if there was a good list, the problems can be corrected for the paperback release coming next year.

Dave(2308) | Good luck telling him he might be mistaken.  What’s the real story about the Hendrix logo?

Well, the Nashville dates are just plain fact. He outta know what days they played what cities. Shouldn’t be any room for interpretation there. But it seems fairly evident that he used the Internet to fill in certain details, and well, we all know how accurate information on the Internet can be. As for the Hendrix logo. I’m pretty sure that it’s been proven that the first appearance of that logo was in 1980. So it’s a rip off of the VH logo, not the other way around.

Cut2TheCrash(816) | Ron is right , the Hendrix was from a 1980 box set that came with this poster
|
ron(11779) | Next inaccuracy I found: Noel says that the 1978 tour ended in Phoenix, AZ on December 5th. As far as we know, the VH tour that year ended in San Diego, CA on December 3rd. Black Sabbath continued on for several more shows, and that Phoenix date was opened by The Ramones.

ron(11779) | Finished reading it. The combination of who wrote the book, and the title of the book held great promise. Something that unfortunately was not delivered. Yes, there were stories we hadn’t heard before, but there was the promise of so much more. Overall, the book left me feeling sad. However, it finally answered (at least for me) the question about how the original four broke up, or who was the one that broke them up.

I’ve heard the same from a lot of other people too about this book too… Tha’s why I haven’t got around to buying a copy yet. I will at some point (I guess), but I’m in no great hurry.
