Marriott considéré comme option de second guitariste des Rolling Stones...
un peu trop bon!
"Steve and Keith were hanging out. Keith loved Steve. Mick Taylor had just left. And a long list of candidates, including Peter Frampton I might add, were being considered. Of course, Ronnie Wood was always there and eventually got the job.
Jerry Shirley: "But Steve went and did an actual proper audition. And Apparently he had been forewarned by everybody, but in particular by keith, not to overdo it on stage because of Mick. 'Cuz Mick will not be upstaged by anybody. So Steve said,'Yeah, no problem, man. I'll just kick back, play some rhythm, do a little backing vocal if you want me to.'
"So. They get to the rehersal place; sure enough they start playing."
Jerry Shirley: "Stev's doing as he said he would and it's going really well. so the more encouraged he gets and the more of smile there is on Keith's face, they start to get into it a bit. Keith himself is quite a performer. So as they get into it Steve lets the chains off and starts to be Steve on stage. All of a sudden he's leaping all over the stage and he's thinking that it's going down well and everybody is loving it. "
Jerry Shirley: "And the more he thought they love it the more he played to the gallery. He's singing full on and he's literally Mick Jaggering all over the stage and guess what...he didn't get the job. But he though he had got it for a while. I don't know if that's because Keith told him that he got the job and he didn't have the heart not to tell him or it was just Steve assuming that which he shouldn't have assumed. But I have an eyewitness of it. "
Jerry Shirley: "Alan Rogan, the guitar tech for The Who. He's done Pete Townshend and Keith and Joe Walsh...all kinds of people.He described the scene to me. That's why when I tell the story it sounds like I was there but it was alan.He said it was hysterical to watch. 'Cuz Steve Marriott is, or was God rest his soul, the only person who would be capable of upstaging Jagger.Not only as a performer but as a singer. I mean, God, Mick can't shine Steve's shoes"

Excellent merci, je ne connaissais pas ce texte, très juste et un peu triste aussi.
