...that Danny will play Bass on 1 song at Shepherds Bush gig?

I'm currently repressing all thoughs and emotions regarding that gig as I will not be attending.

It did cross my mind briefly but i dont for one second think any of us should be holding our breath as nice as that would be I doubt it'll happen, though if it does I'll be more than happy to be wrong.

Anyone seen or heard from him recently? he seems to have dropped off the face of the earth

Nah, I don't think they will.

Ginger's been pretty clear on Danny being properly, actually, definitely out of the band, and it really feels as like the band have 'moved on' from Danny as bassist. They've taken Scott in so well, I really doubt Ginger would want anyone other than Scott playing bass at this stage.

Hmm. Having said that though, I can't imagine there would be any 'issue' with getting Danny back, if not just for the sake of having the original 4 who worked on that album.

Which means they'd have to get Stidi back as Rich only played on Caffeiene Bomb and from what i've heard (so no definitive answer on that one I'm afraid) that certainly won't be happening.......Y'still ain't seen me right.

Mnnngh, good point. I forget Ritch wasn't really involved much in that album. Was he mostly FFL and onwards?


Well anyway I stand by my original point then. I don't think it would make sense to bring Danny back for the sake of an 'album reunion', especially when things are going so smoothly with the current lineup and even more especially because, like Sarc said, they're certainly not going to be bringing Stidi back.

Last time I saw him was in february at the Hanoi Rocks gig at The Carling Academy in Newcastle, he seemed to be alright to me, but then again, we just exchanged a handshake and an 'alright there man', so god knows!!

I'm also trying hard to forget this gig as I'm criminally flying out of heathrow that day for a holiday booked a year ago but....

if my memory serves me correct Stidi never actually played any 'earth vs' gigs anyway cos Ritch was drumming then.... but hey it's splitting hairs!!!

It's a nice thought but I can't see it happening, I think it's just one of those things like while CJ's in the band we won't be hearing any Endless Nameless stuff live and while Scott's there no Danny.

I'm hoping the gig will be filmed for an official dvd release.

Small point but...

Erm... Urge and Nurse Maximium blew my head off in December.

Back on topic, as much as Danny made the Wildies in the 90's and will always be part of their history, this gig is celebrating the lasting legend of Earth Vs and I think playing it with the current line up will show its relevance and power 15 years on without relying on cliche guest spots that try to 'recapure' a magic that I far from think they've lost.

That said, how cool would it be to see Danny owning a stage one more time! I just dont think it'll feel right if Scott is stood backstage whilst Danny does a cameo.

I'm pretty sure it was Stids that did the drumming on Earth Vs.s otherwise why is he pictured on the inlay card.

Yeah... but did he play the gigs after the album was out? Seems to me Ritch was in the band relatively shortly after EVTW qas in stores.

i think stidi was out almost as soon as the sessions were done. i seem to remember an interview with ginger in kerrang around the time of the album release when they asked him why stidi had left and he said something vague like "stidi being in was always a temporary arrangement"...but ritch definitely played on caffeine bomb and everything else til the end of the WH as we knew them at the time!

The tour with The Almighty wasn't long after the album came out, and Ritch was in the band then.
