As you can see in the picture (see the links), a lot of fans from around the world write something about the artist they like and, of course, the Beatles are the winner. http://www.hiboox.fr/go....pg.html If you hake a look at the pillar which is on the right of the studio, a fan of Mike has written something about him. http://www.hiboox.fr/go....pg.html   -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top

larstangmark Group: Members Posts: 1767 Joined: Mar. 2005 Posted: Mar. 16 2009, 06:42 This makes me wonder; has Mike ever recorded in Abbey Road? To my knowledege he has only used the Manor, his home studio and (on one occasion) Electric Ladyland in NY. But I could be wrong. -------------- "There are twelve people in the world, the rest are paste" Mark E Smith Back to top

It is why I was in this place! Now, Mike has his name there for ever, at least until they are going to paint it again   As I can, I am going to Montreux to write his name on the famous door of Freddy Mercury's studio which is in the same building as the concert hall where Mike played in 1981. -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top

Here`s a pretty rare shot of Mike bound for Abbey Road some time during the late 70`s. Mike At Abbey Road But that BMW  3 Series is a recent design . Oh yes I had some time to kill in London a few years ago, so I went to Abbey Road, someone had drawn a really good yellow submarine, and also a Pink Floyd prism as on DSOTM and written the band members names with the legend "Shine on You Crazy Diamonds" . This was followed by a trip to Sticky Fingers in Kensington to engage my enthusiasm for the Rolling Stones. I've done some of the Queen locations in London , Kensington Market, Imperial College etc.  I think '05 was my year of the Oldfield trail.   Yanoch when you're in Montreux could you pass my respects on to Queen and Mike, as i doubt I'll be getting there for some time. -------------- I'm going slightly mad, It finally happened, I'm slightly mad , just very slightly mad If you feel a little glum to Hergest Ridge you should come.

As promised, I was in Montreux yesterday. I wrote the same thing as I did on the wall in Abbey Road. This is the entrance of Freddy Mercury Studio. It is in the same building as where Mike played in 1981 (Live at Montreux DVD). The name of this building is Casinon Barrière. Have a look at the top right in this picture http://www.hiboox.fr/go....pg.html And at this one too... http://www.hiboox.fr/go....pg.html You can see The Lake in this picture. The famous lake of the Discovery album. http://www.hiboox.fr/go....pg.html Freddy Mercury http://www.hiboox.fr/go....pg.html Beautiful Switzerland...   -------------- Ray said : "it is a shame you don't play" manintherain said: "You´d better ask Mr. Y who was first" yanouch65 says: "I am in love with Scotland" Back to top
