[Heeplist] McCartney & Wings

[DAVID M SHERROD]

When I read your first post about solo artists I was thinking you were talking about artist's that wrote all their own stuff, which is mostly very true, most of the solo artist's mentioned like Blackmore always had a writing partner like Doo, JLT, and now Candice so it's not a true solo band, is that what you were saying.?

>If I am not mistaken, Whitesnake was a band (and even DC solo albums 1977-78 was in fact a band's work :)))), and a great one in their prime.  And so was Rainbow before Dio left (afterwards it all became too predictable and more poppy). And - surprise, surprise! - even Wings! :)))) I won't carry on, if you do not play any instrument, it makes no sence explaining further on, if you do - just try to think of how music is being born.  Without those "hired" hands so-called heroes are NOTHING. Not worth recording anyway. Yes, there are the likes of Malmsteen or Satriani - but to me it is mostly extremely boring and not very creative anyway. In other words, it's all the same from record to record and mostly about only one instrument being played properly while for real r'n'r you need at least 3 or 4.

>>I would add to that, of all the examples I've come across through the years, there's one simple conclusion: you can not really be a solo artist in rock'n'roll, that is not what this music is about. Yes, you can give yourself not a band name but the one of your own, still if it is not a real band and a real collaboration, a real exchange on the energetic level, hardly you will achieve much regarding rock'n'roll. I don't mean commercial success, that is about creativity and final outcome.
