Bands with a not obvious only continuous member

Postby NMB » 19 Sep 2018, 22:09

I’ll let you decide what isn’t obvious. But I’ll nominate Pink Floyd (Nick Mason) and Deep Purple (Ian Paice), they’re probably not the first people you’d mention when listing who was in those bands but they’re the only ones who were always there. Who else?

Drummer Bobby Caldwell of Captain Beyond

I only know because Buddha and I saw them last year and Ben said Caldwell was the only original guy. I said (jokingly), "Watch, they'll open with a damn drum solo!" We laughed.

Guess what they opened with...

edit: actually, screw it, he's not continuous, looks like he was out of the band for a few years in the mid-70s

Paice is the one that came to mind.

What about the Stones? It's Charlie, innit? He was in it with Dick Taylor, Wyman and Brian Jones before Keith, and Jagger was the last to join, right?

I remember Wyman getting testy about a plaque dedicated to the spot where "Mick and Keith formed the Stones". Wyman said it was Brian Jones that decided the name, the music they were gonna do, and picked the people to be in it.

Close: Garry Peterson was with The Guess Who from 1962 (when they were known as Allan & The Silvertones) until they broke up in late 1975. A version of the band was reconstituted in 1977, Peterson re-joined them ten years later and except for a few months in 2000 has been there ever since.

This is the band's new album - see if you can guess which one he is.

Not quite. Chris Squire (bass for Yes) would have qualified until he died.

Jagger wasn't the last to join. I think it went Jones then Stewart then Jagger & Richards then Charlie then Wyman. Though it's harder to say when Watts joined because he was drumming on and off with Jones.

Throw in Pierre van der Linden in there too. 70 and still a magnificent jaw-dropping drummer.
