QUOTES:
"Of Course PHIL COLLINS had fun recording with us. How could he not, after being in Genesis!" --- ROBERT PLANT gives his views on life with GENESIS.
"It's all quite hazy but I remember smoking dope with BLACK SABBATH on a sofa at the accomodation block in Rockfield"--- DAVE BROCK, Hawkwind
"Liam Gallacher began to play our singer, Darius, rough mixes of Oasis' new album "What's The Story Morning Glory". After a couple of songs Darius asked him, "Why do you always rip off the Beatles?" which obviously didn't go down too well....Liam then lost it and threw Darius out the front door and then punched him in the face!" NEIL COOPER, former drummer with Cable.
