after syd barrett fried his brain, PF waters ect.
begged JB to take his place, he declined, as he did many lucrative offers over the years, like the stones post jones,) they took second choice, the rest is history
he famously hates drugs, except piss and cigs, and wouldnt have anything to do with anybody there was even a hint of it. (altho strangely he was jimmy hendrixs best mate in the UK - guess he made an exception in that case)
interestingly, in late '60s he toured the US with PF on the same bill as a support, in the JBG version 1 with rod stewart as an unknown singer lol.
man what a line up drool!
what an artist of integrity! passed up on squillions $ and fame to stay true to himself and his vision! incredible! there cant be a similar case in history?
check out the recent crossroads festival footage - with current line-up including *AUSSIE* sydney sider and all round cutie pie 22 yr old Tal Wilkenfeld as his bass player! OI OI OI!
