CRAIG BROWN: The noise, the 爆発s, the 流血/虐殺... Welcome to strop 'n' roll's classic 攻撃する,衝突するs

激しく揺する 星/主役にする memoirs are easily 混乱させるd with memoirs of World War I: the noise, the 爆発s, the 流血/虐殺.

The author of the 最新の is Chris Frantz, who was the drummer with the classy 1980s 禁止(する)d Talking 長,率いるs. Like so many drummers, Frantz seems to have spent years nursing 憤慨s at having to sit at the 支援する of the 行う/開催する/段階 in 半分-不明瞭, sweatily 強くたたくing away while the others grabbed all the attention.

He portrays the group's lead singer, David Byrne, as an egotist who took all the credit for other people's work. 決定するd to steal the limelight, Byrne 明らかに tricked other 禁止(する)d members into wearing muted colours for a big show, only to turn up on 行う/開催する/段階 in 'the biggest white 控訴 anyone had ever seen'.

For the 残り/休憩(する) of us, there is something very pleasing about these onstage 戦う/戦いs. Twenty years before Talking 長,率いるs, 16-year-old Diana Ross, Florence Ballard and Mary Wilson 調印するd to Motown as the 最高のs. No one thought that with her rather bulbous 注目する,もくろむs and reedy 発言する/表明する Diana would take centre 行う/開催する/段階.

But she was the mouse that roared, ruthless at 肘ing her way to the 前線. The three 最高のs were meant to wear 同一の dresses, but Diana slipped into a different dress すぐに before going on, 主要な the audience to assume that the other two were her 支援 singers.

Another of Diana's 策略s was to switch wigs at the last moment, leaving Florence and Mary with old-fashioned big hair, while she sported a flashy (頭が)ひょいと動く. And in TV studios, she would fling her 手渡すs out in the final chorus, so that they 封鎖するd the 直面するs of the other two.

Simon and Garfunkel were 平等に at 半端物s. They first 成し遂げるd together at the age of 11, in a school 生産/産物 of Alice In Wonderland. By the age of 15, 成し遂げるing as Tom and Jerry, they had a song in the charts. But then things began to fray.

老年の 16, Paul Simon 調印するd a 取引,協定 to make 単独の 記録,記録的な/記録するs, but kept the news from Art Garfunkel for two months. Garfunkel never forgave him. Twenty years later, halfway through a major European 小旅行する, Simon asked Garfunkel why he was 存在 so moody. Garfunkel said he still felt betrayed by that 早期に deception.

'I was 16 years old!' said Simon. 'How can you punish me for a mistake I made when I was a 十代の少年少女?'

'You're still the same guy,' replied Garfunkel.

ーに関して/ーの点でs of combustibility, Britain (警官の)巡回区域,受持ち区域s the U.S. 手渡すs 負かす/撃墜する. In 1995, Liam Gallagher, lead singer with Oasis, 辞退するd at the last minute to 成し遂げる in a Live Unplugged show.

His brother Noel dutifully told the audience that Liam had a sore throat, and proceeded to sing the songs himself. The grand finale was 難破させるd by heckling from the audience: it turned out to be Liam, sitting in a box, 瓶/封じ込める in 手渡す.

One of my favourite groups, The Kinks, 定期的に got into fights. Once, Dave Davies got into an argument with the drummer Mick Avory about why he hadn't supported him in an earlier argument with Dave's brother Ray.

Dave and Mick then started punching each other, and had to be pulled apart. The next day, Dave went onstage in Cardiff wearing dark glasses, to hide his two 黒人/ボイコット 注目する,もくろむs. Halfway through their second number, he spat at Mick. Mick duly 攻撃する,衝突する Dave over the 長,率いる with a 派手に宣伝する pedal. Dave 崩壊(する)d, and Mick ran offstage, fearful of 逮捕(する).

Drummers are 特に volatile: when The Doors' singer Jim Morrison fell asleep on 行う/開催する/段階, their drummer John Densmore kicked him awake. This 原因(となる)d Morrison to go into a frenzy, 粉砕するing the 床に打ち倒す into 後援s and breaking his microphone in two.

It later 現れるd that Moon's parents had bought him his first 始める,決める of 派手に宣伝するs hoping they might channel his 侵略. Might a little ukulele have been a better bet?
