Top 5 most unfortunate rock musicians
Pete Best
Apparently, the main loser in the history of pop and rock music can be called original drummer Fab Four The Beatles Pete Best. Pete was in the band from 1960 to 1962, went along with John, Paul and George fire and water, but the copper pipe with them and did not make it. Failing in January 1962 drying studio Decca, «Beatles' show off their stuff to the company EMI. And then still unknown, but infinitely talented producer George Martin said: "In you there is a highlight, but you have another problem - the drummer." Musicians have listened to the advice of Martin and got rid of the Best, replacing it with an authoritative Liverpool drummer Ringo Starr.
Currently, grizzled mustache and Best touring with his band at international festivals fans The Beatles. Out in 1995, the first part of "Anthology» The Beatles provided BEST comfortable old age.
Jack Sherman
One of the first guitarists of Red Hot Chili Peppers was Jack Sherman, with him, the band recorded their debut album in 1984. In 1983, a young band Red Hot Chili Peppers signed with EMI record deal, but two of the band members - drummer Jack Irons and guitarist Hillel Slovak - decided to leave the group for a commercial team. Anthony Kiedis and Flea were in a panic. EMI offered to stay "Pepper" new musicians - drummer Cliff Martinez and guitarist Jack Sherman. If Cliff fairly quickly caught on, the Sherman had disagreements with Kiedis. Sherman was older, more serious, had more knowledge of funk music while Kiedis at that time was otvyaznym punk and considered a rare Jack bore. As a result, when in January 1985 the guitarist Hillel Slovak expressed a desire to return to the band, Kiedis and Flea gladly kicked Sherman. In 2004 he released Anthony Kiedis autobiography Scar Tissue, which is very unflattering comments about Jack. In 2012, the Red Hot Chili Peppers were included in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, but Jack Sherman stayed in the side - according to the official version of "Only current members, original members and participants, recorded on 2 or more albums, It may be included in the Hall of Fame. " In fact, Jack Sherman participated in the recording of the first two albums RHCP and could easily get into the hall, but the group did not want to. Now Jack continues to give concerts in 1980 participated in the recording of albums of Bob Dillan and George Clinton.
Rod Evans
The first was the Deep Purple vocalist Rod Evans. The newly-Evans team has come together with drummer Ian Pace. It is said to Deep Purple Rod moonlighting male model. Initially the group focused on the sound of their psychedelic and blues team - such as Cream and Vanilla Fudge. And Evans vocals fit into the band sound very harmonious. But the more Deep Purple concert was given, the more difficult it became their sound. During the year the group has achieved considerable success, but the musicians Jon Lord, Ritchie Blackmore and Ian Paice realized that Rod Evans and Nick Simper (the first bass player) fit into the overall picture. In the summer of 1969, after successful completion of the American tour, Blackmore and Lord secretly invited to listen to new musicians - vocalist Ian Gillan and bassist Roger Glover from Episode Six. Simper and Evans kicked. Several years passed, Deep Purple became world stars, Nick Simper was the bass player in a very successful team Warhorse, but Evans fared badly. Entries his group Captain Beyond failed miserably and thirst for glory did not leave alone. After the collapse of Deep Purple in 1976, the organizers of the "fake" Evans concerts offered to participate in the round "restored» Deep Purple. Actually, except for him on stage were to play no one well-known musicians, but under the original name of the group. Step musician proved fatal - concerts were a disgrace, the musicians played poorly, the audience left the hall from the middle of performances. Learning of the scam, Lord, Paice and Blackmore Evans filed a lawsuit and won it. Since 1981, Evans does not receive any royalties from album sales Deep Purple. Since that time disgraced Evans stopped appearing in public. Now Evans is alive and well, and is rumored to be working as a doctor.
Nick Van Gelder
Of the original composition of Jamiroquai, perhaps no one left except the Jay Kay. The problem is a difficult character soloist, and that the style of the band is constantly changing. In 1993, a young artist released the album Emergency On Planet Earth, which spoke animatedly music press. The album featured drummer Nick Van Gelder. He also co-wrote one of the songs on the album. Things Jamiroquai were getting better day by day, but at one point Van Gelder was forced to leave the team. Soon after the departure of Van Gelder group went on a world scale of the popularity and the album Return of the Space Cowboy has been recognized around the world probably the best drive in 1994. But Van Gelder was so close to the output of the group on an international scale ...
Now Van Gelder has been his own musical projects.
Steve Peregrin Took
Many people know how flagships T.Rex glam-rock of the 1970s - along with Slade and Sweet. In 1967-1969, the band performed under the name Tyrannosaurus Rex and played bizarre, is not very clear psychedelic music. The composition of the group at that time was minimal - vocalist / guitarist Marc Bolan and backing vocalist / percussionist / bassist Steve Peregrin Took. By the summer of 1969, there have been significant differences between the two parties. Knock, before speaking in the role of "support" Bolan, he wanted to sing his songs and focused on more acoustic and psychedelic sound. Bolan same token glades and felt that the era of hippies eroding, and picked up an electric guitar in order to catch the wave of Renaissance boogie-woogie and rock and roll. Bolan Tuku quickly found a replacement - the young musician Mickey Finn's, and recorded an updated version of Tyrannosaurus Rex fourth album A Beard Of Stars. Some of the songs on the album were written with the assistance of Tooke, but Bolan did everything to former colleague did not get a penny from the sales record. In 1971, T. Rex was shot with a plate Electric Warrior and became the hero of the British charts. Tuk at this time unsuccessfully dabbled in music and went deep into the jungle of drug in the world. In 1977, Bolan T.Rex decided to collect an expanded "gold" composition, and invited Tuk back to the group. However, the project was never realized - in September 1977. Marc Bolan died in a tragic car accident.
Tuck continued to receive funds from the first 3 albums that are completely wasted on drugs. By 1980, the year he died of a drug overdose.
