Ah, OK, didn't realise you were being pedantic on the Pensa/Pensa-Suhr thing. ;)

John Suhr left Pensa in 1991 or 1992 and all next Pensas were built without him. Of course Rudy Pensa removed "Suhr" from guitars' name.

Yes, Dusty knows that. He is just not as pedantic about it as you are ;)

I think the best looking and sounding Pensa / Pensa Suhr is the one that he recieved during the SL tour and used during the ATRR tour for the outro of Romeo And Juliet.

Terry's work on BIA can be sum up to "MNF solo introduction" right?

What is really surprising is that he got the seat for the tour.

For OES it seems that several musicians declined Mark invitation to do the tour.

Yes, right. I do not like his work on Alchemy, but he was not too bad in tour 85/86.

Makes one wonder if Danny would have made the grade playing drums because nowadays I think it's like an old pals act regarding who plays on the albums.  Guy goes on and on about how brilliant the guys are that he plays with now - even if they are average players - but I think he should show more respect to those he used to play with.  I just hope Terry didn't read that because it was most disrespectful.

Sometimes you play with someone and sometimes you play with someone else. Everyone's different. You could be friends with anyone but you have certain friends. You may loose friends over time and some friends are closer than others. It's not all about the talent of every musician, it's about the person him/herself too. :) Being musician isn't just having the grades, it's about the way you express yourself into the music. Some combinations just don't work out the way it should. It just happens. ;)

I liked Terry and to choose I would have kept him for the OES tour instead of... sorry I forget his name.
But Manu Katche or Jeff Porcaro would have been killer drumer on that tour.

Agree with you on this point. I don't think Danny is a better drummer than Terry, and MK is happy for Danny to drum on record these days. Seems MK is a lot less uptight about these things than he used to be. That said, the DS albums sold much more records than his solo works, so maybe he was RIGHT to replace drummers. ;)

Thank

Did Mark borrowed him or did Paul had already found a replacement for him before. Never heard about him afterwards.
