Far from being some a retort to someone who has hacked you off it is the title of a 2CD spoken word set from Mountain Drummer Corky Laing. Of course everyone knows that Mountain are one of the biggest bands in the world and for a while in the seventies Mountain's guitarist Leslie West was also one of the biggest guitarists in the world. (He is also one of the Best!)
Both Leslie and Corky still lead Mountain out n5regularly on tour across the world to a still large and dedicated audience.
Having interviewed Corky and Leslie a number of times it has to be said that both men have an inbcredible way with words and tell incredible stories.
Corky Laing has taken things a step further however an recorded a series of monolgues and Vigtnettes covering his life and career in Mountain.,Click on the link and you will be taken to Youtube and be able to listen to Corky telling you about his involvement with the Woodstock Festival and how he joined Mountain.
Did you also know that depsite never playing at Woodstock(He joined Mountain shortly after they played there) he receicved a Gold Disc. How Come I hear you say?
Well he overdubbed the cymbals on the Ten years After performance of Going Home as the recording suffered a techniocal hitch and as it was a hioghhlight it needed to be in the film and on the soundtrack album so Corky obliged and as the album was such a success he received a Gold Disc. Strange but true!
