Gary Duncan was a very good, more than competent player as were the rest of the band -but it was the incredibly charismatic, brilliant John Cipollina the finest and most original of the SF guitarists who made Quicksilver extraordinary -all ruined by ego. I witnessed it first hand -and was there at the Fillmore west for the Happy Trails Sessions along with many brilliant Family Dog shows over at the Avalon. Its tragic -what could have been if they had dumped this loser.wesley Kimlerhttp://wesleykimler@mac.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278705729653063081.post-22482344703089627732009-02-15T04:32:00.000+09:002009-02-15T04:32:00.000+09:00it's funny how many people say that QMS were ruine...it's funny how many people say that QMS were ruined by DV and end up liking the later albums when they finally hear them-it's a charge that was levelled in the early 70's and people haven't been able to let go since then.this album ain't up any longer sadly.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278705729653063081.post-34475753938491798592008-10-23T01:56:00.000+09:002008-10-23T01:56:00.000+09:00this is beautiful, thank you!this is beautiful, thank you!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278705729653063081.post-63921815521348499032008-10-17T19:50:00.000+09:002008-10-17T19:50:00.000+09:00Well, if you can read...(Joel Selvin - Summer of L...Well, if you can read...<BR/>(Joel Selvin - Summer of Love; Plume/Penguin Book Z7407 // 0-452-27407-9 MUSIC)<BR/><BR/>Valente - how talented he may have been as a songwriter – surely wasn't the easiest guy to get along with...<BR/><BR/>In my opinion QMS were far better of and a much better band, BEFORE Valente tried to take the band over (though I still like the ' Just for Love' and the 'What about me' albums a lot...)mike-floydhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04877666854409822421noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278705729653063081.post-47636371595148657882008-10-16T08:18:00.001+09:002008-10-16T08:18:00.001+09:00what the hell are you talking about, mike-floyd?what the hell are you talking about, mike-floyd?raistuumumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10947081327684189851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278705729653063081.post-72701015543409655452008-10-16T08:18:00.000+09:002008-10-16T08:18:00.000+09:00This comment has been removed by the author.raistuumumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10947081327684189851noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2278705729653063081.post-32583973006211069002008-10-14T20:26:00.000+09:002008-10-14T20:26:00.000+09:00Anyone interested in the story of how Valente (as ...Anyone interested in the story of how Valente (as a cocaine addicted, gun obsessed egocentric person) destroyed the brillant 4 man Quicksilver Messenger Band incarnation should read "Summer of Love" by Joel Selvin.
