Loving that Ric Parnell on the drums
Not well known but Ric replaced Carl Palmer briefly before Paul Hammond joined.
@@dislikesquare8749 Yes I learned that recently. Apparently it lasted about 2 months.
Greatness at all levels all 4
Just awesome. .People You Can't Trust. .tough song to play on Cminor. .they make it look so easy. .play bass line and lead solos. .gone too soon Vincent.
The better singer for Atomic Rooster's sound was Pete French. Check their original of "Breakthrough" on the album "In Hearing of ... Atomic Rooster (1971)
12:40 the journalist said that Chris could have a role for a passable Dracula and Vincent could have a role for an humoristic chicken and also said he hoped it would give ideas to producers
LOL Chris Farlowe at 2:06
That's right Chris, have a swig of Coke to wash down that cheese & onion sandwich!
Most fuckin excellent comment, hahaha !!!!
Rest in Peace Ric Parnell. Now Chris, why the F are you drinking and eating onstage in all the Rooster vids??? W T F?
Yea what the hell was he doing,was it a special pyop !!
Fkn heavyy
Did Chris always consume food/drink during live recordings? ;-)
It would appear so. Doesn't impair his Singing though, he still Rocks.🥪👌
Chris' sandwich consumption is an epic part of rock n' roll history.
Krikey, he's eating in this video too????
Twenty some odd years ago I was on vacation in Canada. There was a jazz/blues festival and the night I attended, Chris Farlowe performed. They brought out a stool and on it was a glass of wine and a sandwich!
Ah :-)
Forever AR!!
What is the keyboard in the middle of Vincent's stack between his Hammond and the Wurlitzer 200A on top? Thinking it's a Hohner, but which model?
It might have been a Hohner "Pianet T", which was more of a "flatter"-style piano. Robert Fripp and David Cross used them with King Crimson.
Etonnant Atomic Rooster a l'ORTF...
Rick is better than
Bonham.
Thanks brother for your right appreciate😊
Chris Farloe not taking the music seriously. Wish they'd found an alternative singer
John Cann was doing just fine. Not sure what Vincent crane was thinking to be honest
Lots of British bands were taking the R&B/soul/funk route around that time, or during the next few years. Deep Purple come to mind, after Ritchie left the band.
Pete French was their best vocalist, but apparently Vincent hardly paid the rest of the band hardly anything, so the offer to join Cactus must have seemed like a logical step forward, and that's why he left the band when he did.
@@Esotereclectic Deep Purple started playing RnB and funk after the departure of Gillan and Glover in 1973. Both Coverdale and Hughes had a lot more bluesy and soul orientated vocals. Burn and especially Stormbringer (I like both albums by the way) are the beginnings of funk and RnB in Deep Purple. It's why Ritchie left.
As for Vincent Crane, he was a lot better in Crazy World in my opinion. His solos were very tasteful and varied then. He practically improvises through many of the album's tracks, not repeating himself at all. What happened to him in Atomic Rooster, I don't know. He began using the same licks all the time to the point that find it embarrassing at times. He left mistakes on their early albums so I'm guessing his mental health must have deteriorated by that time.
I think Farlowe was great. He was anti-typical posey rock star of the time, all bare chests, fringes, glitter and sparkles, macho, he had a bit of a "punk attitude", eating sandwiches on stage and all that, taking the piss, and sitting down while he did it. Peeing while sitting down, what?!?!
