The post you are reporting:
Showing my age now, Black Sabbath hit the news today as reaching number 1 with there new album after 43 years!!!
Remember them(some would/some wouldn't like the music)
Just looking back, I showed my boy(who's 18)some of the many groups I followed in earlier years,
When I showed him one on you tube, Alex Harvey band, it was clear the lead singer was on something lol
and the 2 backing guitarists couldn't even coordinate together
It's funny watching it now, but it was a drug crazed time(not me I might add lol)
looking now at the number of groups who had so many number 1 hits, yet members of the bands died.
Leading member of the SWEET lots of hits, but died very young
plus lots more
but then we can look to others who took a different route,
Look at SLADE very popular band who originated from Birmingham, had many number 1 hits, produced a xmas song that is reproduced every year.
The lead sing noddy holder gave up, did a bit of acting, TV stuff, but on interview he said he doesn't need to work he can live off the royalties of the Christmas song each year!!!!
