Thanks stanko, that was a really good interview with John, he seems excited about the induction, and it seems one way or the other he does want to play at the event, let's see if he can convince Mark. If they did play, what song would they play? I would think the best idea would be Walk of Life, as it is an up-tempo crowd pleaser, a sing along song, and one which can highlight other members of the band, not just Mark, but would he wear the headband and wristbands again? :rockon: |

I don't know if anyone else noticed that at least one e-magazine changed John's name a bit! Here is the link: I Love Classic Rock Article I'm not sure if it is a genuine error of ignorance or a bit of a poke at Mark now using the Mcs, John and Mike, in his solo endeavors. It doesn't really impress me with the person's knowledge of Mark's world! <_< |

Thatis either just rude or ignorant, but from a website called iloveclassicrock.com you would have though they would know about band members!! even more so when John is only one of two men to have been in the band for it's entire history. And what does it matter if Mark used even musician with an Mc in their surname? if you are using people with a Celtic connection, there is a high chance they will be have Mc in their surname. Clearly, just a bad journalist. |
