Members the_huge Posted June 12, 2008 Members Share Posted June 12, 2008 Well, no, actually, this is not strictly true.Lowell George tells an amusing tale of being told to {censored} off by HW on one of the Little Feat live (bootleg?) albums.

Members Willyguitar Posted June 12, 2008 Members Share Posted June 12, 2008 I once saw Midge Ure not finishing a Pizza in Pizza Hut (in Bath, Somerset) with his kids. I can't remember whether Midge failed to clean his plate, or whether it was one of the kids, but either way I was disgusted. I was tempted to go over and mention starving kids in Africa, but no doubt he too would have told me to {censored} off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Willyguitar Posted June 12, 2008 Members Share Posted June 12, 2008 Also, I have had my spelling corrected by Charles Shar Murray (that's how you spell it, isn't it?). Not quite '{censored} off', but close enough! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Burningleaves Posted June 12, 2008 Members Share Posted June 12, 2008 That would be the absolutely most badass story to ever have. I could have sworn I read that a bit back. He didn't like what Hendrix did with tunes like "Killing Floor" and when he met him he cold cocked him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban myth -- Wolf did indeed snub Hendrix at NYC's Scene Club and refuse to allow him up to jam, but no fisticuffs were involved. Muddy Waters, on the other hand, did jam with Hendrix and was very gracious to him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Annoying Twit Posted June 12, 2008 Members Share Posted June 12, 2008 I once had a musician/songwriter moderately famous in Australasia make up a sarcastic song to make fun of me, and basically tell me to eff off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Mo' Cowbell Posted June 12, 2008 Members Share Posted June 12, 2008 From what I've read about Wolf, he was very intense about music and didn't have much appreciation for drugs and booze. He was very down on Sun House about his drinking and told him so. It wouldn't surprise me if he didn't care for Lowell George either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't care for either of them but Jimmy would have been over the top and made the "blues legend" regret letting him come up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are several things wrong about this post, Firstly I don't think Howlin' needs to prove himself by having Jimi up on stage, Of course Jimi would have upstaged him. That's what Jimi did. Secondly, it is JIMI not Jimmy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was an electrifying live performer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
