I remember he was touted as Fyfe’s replacement back in 1996, I wonder what would have happened if he had joined instead of Graham? “Buck” I think his name was.

Actually, what would happened if Neil had auditioned for the gig back then? He left his band ‘Cable’ in 1996 to join ‘Gorilla’ so he may have been up for it if Andy/Michael has contacted him first? Would Therapy? have stayed more high profile if a similar drummer to Fyfe had taken over, rather than Graham? Hmmm.

I’m thinking the same thing since Neil has joined the band… I wonder what he would have done with SP-YF, I think that’s the best thing Graham has done with T? and it’s an absolute brilliant record, but still, I do believe Neil would have given it an extra dimention.

Yup they did Rush Hour, have some cracking tracks on the album ‘Be Special’
Did they do another album? I had some EP’s from that period but got rid of them in an attempt to cut down my collection

Quite ironic they had a driving-themed band name, did an album called Rush Hour, and the guy ended up working as a taxi driver.

I’m sorry.

He was saying that touring with T?, Ash and Skunk Ansansie was mental and how they all used to crash in Andy’s gaff in Bray when they were playing Dublin, which impressed me considering I would have lived 10 mins away at that stage!
He also mentioned a little something about walking in on Martin and Skin in a compromising situation!

I wasn’t sure if it was too subtle for people to ‘pick up’ on

personally i think it would have been a better album cos neil plays more like fyfe (tight and busy) whereas graham plays like any other plodding rock drummer, but who’s to say??
