267.0. "Breaking up is hard (easy?) to do" by ANT::SLABOUNTY (Trouble with a capital 'T') Mon Oct 10 1988 17:35

    
        This is the official 'break-up' note.
    
        Who broke up?  Who's gonna break up?  Who might break up?
    
        Rumors and/or facts welcome.
    
        Two tidbits:
    
        Dokken broke up - watch for 'The Lynch Mob'
    
        Vinnie Vincent Invasion broke up - don't watch for anything.
        8^)

267.3Dokken, Maiden and BostonMARKER::BUCKLEYQuayle? AhahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaMon Oct 10 1988 18:1928
    Yo, I heard rumors of this on the Monsters tour (see my note for
    proof!).  The live album due out is a farewell album.  Don D. never got
    along with Mr Scary.  I say its the best thing that could've happened
    to them...they really weren't going any place fast, and mr Lynch's
    mastery is better off elsewhere IMO.
    
    I'm psyched.
    
    Rumors?
    
    Well, we've all heard that Iron Maiden is taking a breather but
    I also heard they may just call it quits after the next lp.
    
    Way back when (1982? -- pre-rockman days regardless) I was hanging out
    talking with Tom Scholtz and asked him what his future plans were.  He
    said "Well, I'm working on this stereo chorus/delay unit that should be
    really cool (Re: the rockmodules vision, but the rockman was the
    prototype that came out first), and when the 3rd album is done, the
    band (Boston) will do a tour, and we'll record shows from that, release
    a live album, and call it quits as a band...I'm more into the SR&D
    thing anyway"
    
    Well, looks like Tom is right on track, eh??  I don't think at the time
    he thought Third Stage would be such a success.  With the sold out
    tour, I wonder if his plans have changed at this point?  Time will
    tell!

267.4Where have all the good times gone?CSC32::G_HOUSEBack in BlackMon Oct 10 1988 18:266
    That Dokken rumor has been going all through MOR.  I was at the
    last show on the tour and they (DonD) came out and denied it.
    
    Could be true though.  Drag, I really like(ed) their sound.

267.5SplitsRDGENG::GREIDTue Oct 11 1988 05:3717
    How many times have we heard that Dokken are splitting up, this
    IMO is another farce.!
    
    Iron Maiden were interviewed recently as in last week and they said
    (Steve Harris, Dave Murray) that all the rumors of them splitting
    after this tour or after the next album are rubbish. They are taking
    an extended break that's all.!!
    
    I have just recently read that Krokus have lost Fernando Von Arb
    and now Marc Storace, so it finally has become the Chris Von Rohr
    group two seconds after he rejoined. I won't be rushing out to
    by Krokus albums, until i have made up my mind about the new singer
    cos' no one can replace Marc IMO. I have liked all their recent
    albums as much as their old stuff and those idiots in the press
    that constantly call Krokus the AC/DC ripoffs can F.O.A.D. IMO.

    	Has anybody heard the rumor about Rush?
    
267.9No, not RUSH too.....EUCLID::OWENHltr Skltr...we're stealin' it back!Tue Oct 11 1988 09:599
    ahhhhhhhhhh.
    
    Could you imagine a Geddy Lee solo album?????  Yuch.  It would be
    such a shame if they broke up.  I believe that they are 3 of the
    most talented musicians in the business, ALL IN THE SAME BAND!!!
    
    Please say it ain't so!

    Let's not get to excited about Hollywood's supposed Rush rumor.
    He works third so he is just trying to keep us in suspense till
    he gets back.
    
    Cute Hollywood real cute.

267.11Rush ?ASAHI::COOPERWoe to you, O earth and seaTue Oct 11 1988 10:0211
    I hear ya dude...
    
    I'd be bummin'.

    It's not to tough to believe.  They've been together for a long
    time.  I'm sure they have enought money to retire at any time. 
    I hate to think of it though..

267.12Live Rush may be the end?EUCLID::OWENHltr Skltr...we're stealin' it back!Tue Oct 11 1988 10:235
    I thought RUSH was going to have a live album and a video cassette
    out by Christmas, That's what Geddy said in an interview a few months
    ago.

267.13And Marc Storace wasn't the original lead singer ...ANT::SLABOUNTYTrouble with a capital 'T'Tue Oct 11 1988 13:3610
    
        Krokus is nothing without Fernando and Marc ... I kinda hope
        it's just a rumor and not fact.
    
        Fernando kicks some serious *ss on his solos - listen to
        'Out of Control' off of 'The Blitz' and you'll see what I
        mean.

267.16Pilson rock !!RDGENG::GREIDMidnite ManiacSat Oct 15 1988 10:0213
    This is what i have just read in Kerrang :-
    
    "Current rumour suggests that the new DOKKEN live album entitled
    'Beast From The East', will be the bands last. Guitarist George
    Lynch,bassist Jeff Pilson and drummer Mick Brown have already 
    formed a new outfit, LYNCH MOB, and have cut some demo's with
    Pilson handling the vocals. Indeed they may bring in a bassist,
    freeing Pilson to concentrate on the singing.
     Don Dokken looks set to pursue a solo career if the split does
    go ahead".

    I have also just read that Ross The Boss the lead guitarist for
    MANOWAR has parted company for reasons of "Musical Incompatability".

267.18DioRDGENG::GREIDMidnite ManiacSat Oct 15 1988 10:269
    Yes it's me for the third time in a row, better have a break in
    a minute.
    
    Finally on the Break up side of things Craig Goldie lead/rhythm
    guitarist with DIO has split the band with yes you guessed it
    those little old 'Musical differences'. I don't know who this
    'Musical Differences' band is but they sure have a lot of members.
