Guy's Forum

[LoveExpresso]

There is an interesting post on Guy's forum on the question if Vince Gill whas ever asked bij MK to join DS.
Guy's says it was after the OES tour. I was always under the impression that MK was really fed up with DS after this tour and he soon started his solo work and never did have any intention of reform DS again...... Perhaps someone can help me here? 

I would not give too much on anything from Guy about stuff that is longer ago than let's say the last album...

Actually its true, MK asked Vince Gill to join Dire Straits for the OES tour, but Gill rejected to join in order to push for his solo career, and then Phil Palmer was hired.

Jeff Porcaro (and Manu Katche too) were asked to be the drummer for the OES tour but  in the end the drummer was Chris Whitten.

Okay, but Guy says Gill was asked after the OES Tour but i quess what you are saying makes more sense....

Guy is wrong, I mean, he doesn't remember it as well as some crazy fans (like me) do

Perhaps more importantly,  he doesn't care.

Just like when Sonny Landreth rejected MK's offer to join the GH-tour

Then we got I'm the fool & DWB played on  every show instead of Gravy train.   
Life is so cruel.

I'm the fool? Maybe I'm a fool, but that song is one of my favorites. Live - even better

Richard has updated his "diary page" and talks about some recording work he is on to, but no mentioning of MK strange enough...

I guess it will be an acoustic or semi-acoustic stripped-down kind of MK album...

Unless this album is gonna take more time that we thought, or unless MK decided to do all guitars by himself like in KTGC...

Perhaps he asked Clapton to provide some screeching wah wah playing instead.

That'll be the day...

Maybe kind of a tribute album to Everly Brothers and/or JJ Cale-Style? Eric Clapton in the studio could be a hint! But on the other hand: A long time means complicate arrangements! Hm, very curious...

My english is not good enough to fully get what Guy means in this answer, but it doesnt look as a kind answer specially when it comes to Bap Kennedy, someone that has recorded with you...

Q:Hi Guy! Anxiously waiting for your rehearsal diary. In the meantime, for those interested, Bap Kennedy has a new cd out, Let's Start Again. Have you listened to it yet Guy? Thanks, Suzy    

A:Thanks Suzy although we're not rehearsing, we're recording. I have to be honest that after the record we did with Bap, his new record is a huge let down, particularly sonically.

There might be thousands of way to say it without sounding so harsh with a colleague... Don
