Need some help with a Cozy Powell project

[Cozy Powell Fan]

I guess this is the right place to put this. (Moderators, feel free to move this if I posted it in the wrong spot.)

I'm working on a website dedicated to the late Cozy Powell. The site is going to feature fan tributes. If anyone here would like to write a tribute, please let me know. Also if anyone has any pictures of Cozy that I can use, let me know. All tributes will be used with premission. So will any pictures. Anyone who submits a tribute or pictures will be credited.

Hi Cozy Fan - you might want to check with Joe Seigler (the webmaster here) he was the webmaster who was running Cozy's official site - just not sure if he still does that

[Cozy Powell Fan]

I'll let you guys know as soon as it's up and running. Hopefully it should be soon.

@kamikazetom, I had thought about sending a message to Joe about this. I think he still does Cozy's site, but I'm not sure.

[Cozy Powell Fan]

Just to let everyone interested know, the site I'm working on will be up and running very soon. There are some pages that are finished, but not all of them. As soon as everyrthing is finished I will post the link to the site here.

Anyon who wants to check out what's already done on the site, please do so.

I just had had a quick look at the Rainbow section. Did you copy it from AllMusic?

I have to tell you that you made the same mistake that they did in claiming that Graham Bonnet was fired after a drunken performance at Donnington. This is absolutely false. Bonnet was still present when the band started work on Difficult To Cure. One of the reason he gave for his departure was his inability to get on with Roger Glover.

I was at Donnigton 1980. Bonnet was sober (or at least not noticably drunk!) & still had a job afterwards.

This is from a Kerrang! interview with Bonnet/MSG to promote Assault Attack

"Though disenchanted with both Rainbows music and attitude Graham started rehearsing with the band in Copenhagen for the follow up album, later to emerge as 'Difficult To Cure', but soon it all got to much. "After, a few months I just got out cos at one point they said to me 'OK, Graham, how about if we get another singer in to sing the tracks you don't like', which was stupid so I went back to LA and that was it. I was really fed up with the way Ritchie was acting; we just didn't get on towards the end. I got totally bored, it was a case of: 'Oh, f-- king hell, do we have to rehearse again', and I wasn't very impressed with the new drummer, either"

And Blackmore said this about Bonnet & Joe Lynn Turners's differing appraoch in the Difficult To Cure sessions...

The recording of 'Difficult To Cure' track 'No Release' highlighted the different approaches of Bonnet and Turner precisely.

"I'd written the music to it and I said well, it's just a blues. It's up to the singer 'What he does. I could go into what Graham said but I won't. Then Joe came along and went 'oh yeah, I'll sing that' and came up with his own tune. It was great, it just worked straight away. I still don't like the tune particularly, it's all right, but he did a great job with a bit of a throwaway song."

Graham Bonnet was however fired from/ left the Michael schenker Group after a drunken performance at a gig in Sheffield that was a warm up for the 1982 Reading Festival.

Sorry that your first feedback is picking out an error. But I figured you'd wanna fix it.

Actually I didn't do that page, but I will let the gal who did it know. As far as I know she took the text from Wiki. Thanks for pointing out the error.
