Faul's Musical Accomplices

[Forum Manager]

I often wonder where are Denny Laine,Henry McCulloch.Two high profile musicians of Moody Blues and Grease Band fame.Gone.Obscurity.Where is Billy Preston.My guess is he was playing plenty of keyboards before we were told of his involvement with the Let it Be album.Seems to me that Fauls hirelings are used for a while on a hire 'em fire 'em basis with not much follow through after their involvements with Faul.You would be led to believe that with exposure that they have had with such a supposed high calibre musico guy like Paul/Faul that their following careers would be sought after.More often than not there is no - AFTER.Just curious [and suspicious].

I agree its very suspicious, goes alone the same lines as the amount of suspicious deaths and suicides among associates of Fauls.
-Spanky

Please let me add Jeff Lynne (Free as a Bird and Real Love producer)to the list. He's not dead but...
-TheEggman

Yeh,he's in the mix but I have him down as more of a George Harrison accomplice.I believe he was given the job of producer against George Martin for Free as a bird on Georges insistence.
-Ramon

since they put in clues for the free as a bird video, they knew there was danger involved. maybe george decided not to have george martin produce to protect him?

I met Denny Laine at beatlefest in jersey a few years ago and when i gave him a pic of him and Pau (Faul) and Linda to sign he gave me a nasty look and mumbled something......take it for what its worth.. but weird.....and keep in mind this was at an autograph session so it wasnt like i was bothering the guy during dinner

Denny bears a grudge against Faul because, first off, in 1977, Faul screwed him out of record royalties for supposedly co-writing "Mull of Kintyre" and not getting his fair share of the moolah. Second off, he considers the Japanese bust of 1980 as Faul's way of deliberately bailing out on him because he was sorely in need of cash at the time and HAD to do the tour to get by.

Henry McCullough is alive and making his living as a session guitarist in Scotland. He makes a little pittance, but it's worth it to play his instrument.

Billy Preston has a solo career of his own and does a Beatles medley at every concert. He recently had a stroke.

Danny "co-wrote"?

What this means is - Danny FULLY wrote.

This is what "co-wrote" means when it's to do with Faul.

Danny's more than a little peeved for getting NO credit for it.

I think maybe Faul has to get different musicians to write for him because most of them get hacked off for not being allowed to take credit for the music after a while.

Every musician who "co-wrote" with Faul must know about the GAME.

David Gilmour of Pink Floyd and Ian Paice of Deep Purple recently backed him.They are both stable mates of Faul at EMI.I would be very surprised if they did not know about the Faul/Paul connection.Their careers are so well founded that they will continue.As regards other members,well I reckon they are just cannon fodder.
EMI,a sickening affair.

[Eggman]

I remember that I read an interview of Faul and Linda (I think in Melody Maker) after the break up of "Wings" and she said that she and Faul will never make the mistake again of selecting bad musicians like they've done for "Wings "
First of all they were not bad musicians and, Linda selecting musicians for Faul's band?
Very strange!!!

[Rojopa]

Linda should have kept her mouth shut. We all know that she wasn't worth a damn to the band. She was just riding on Faul's coat strings. She was like Yoko in John's concerts.

You read my mind friend!!!

Not necessarily...Gilmour wasn't part of "the scene" until the late 60s, when he was brought in to replace the mentally-collapsing Syd Barrett in Pink Floyd.

Specifically, he'd have never gotten the chance to know James Paul...he was a childhood chum of Syd (grew up playing guitar with him) and was a logical replacement once Syd "went 'round the bend."

The reason Pink Floyd never made a similar album was that Piper was the only one to be recorded under Barrett's leadership. Around mid-1967, the prodigy began showing increasingly alarm signs of mental instability. Syd would go catatonic onstage, playing music that had little to do with the material, or not playing at all. An American tour had to be cut short when he was barely able to function at all, let alone play the pop star game. Dependent upon Barrett for most of their vision and material, the rest of the group were nevertheless finding him impossible to work with, live or in the studio.

Around the beginning of 1968, guitarist Dave Gilmour, a friend of the band who was also from Cambridge, was brought in as a fifth member. The idea was that Gilmour would enable the Floyd to continue as a live outfit; Barrett would still be able to write and contribute to the records. That couldn't work either, and within a few months Barrett was out of the group. Pink Floyd's management, looking at the wreckage of a band that was now without its lead guitarist, lead singer, and primary songwriter, decided to abandon the group and manage Syd as a solo act.

I'm aware of Gilmours date of joining Floyd.What Iwas saying is that EMI is not just your cuddly music based 'give the public what they want' industry.I am saying that it is more suspect and corrupt than we are led to believe.In England ther eare two bands you pay extra for in the privilige of having their music.Floyd and the Beatles.
I do not believe Floyd to be any more a band,innocent and 'into the music'any more than the Beatles were left alone to be a 'band'.
There are enough obscure and some not so obscure sites on the internet to raise eyebrows about the Floyd nearly as much as the Beatles.
I've seen Gilmour play with Faul live and if you are saying that the guy might not suspect Faul - think again.What I was saying was EMI and their Holier than thou bands are well protected.

[Beatlestobattle]

Now Pink Floyd is wrapped in this. Hmmm...I think it's rather convenient to get interesting people wrapped up to keep theorists interested at a time of doubt, don't you?

[Uberkinder]

The Beatles were (are) the most famous band of all time. If there is a conspiracy, clearly it's going to involve a lot of their friends (many of whom have died suspiciously) who happen to be famous as well.
