Rock and Roll StoriesMy personal Spinal Tap moment came when we got locked into the Festival Hall in London by accident. We ended up wandering the maze of backstage corridors carrying a three foot high piece of cheese looking for the one door that would lead us to salvation.
What goes on tour may stay on tour, but B3ta doesn't count. Tell us everything.

Not me, but concerns a really good friend, neighbour and fellow Freemason... and Pink FloydDerek - for that is his name - Used to be a personal 'runner' for Pink Floyd throughout the 70's. Regularly going with them when they were in the recording studios,
and keeping them in alcohol and whatever else they wanted. Over many bottles of wine, he's told me so much, and am bloody envious of him...
BEST part of all this is that he owns a few of their original gold discs etc, and (mercy of mercies) he was given a majority of the original film cells for the animated hammers in the 'brick in the wall' video... yup. The originals...
When in Spain on holiday a couple of years back, he met a fellow Pink Floyd fan at the resort they were staying in, and gave him the original film cells when he got back... Not sold, gave.... Monetary value meant nothing to him, despite the fact they could have fetched tens of thousands at auction... Now THATS a rock n roll lifestyle
