ian Group: Members Posts: 473 Joined: Nov. 1999 Posted: Sep. 16 2007, 19:58 I have come accross a video on Youtube of a very avearage performance of maggie may by a couple of artists under the name of Alan and Shane. The one on the right who plays guitar look 99.9% like Mike circa Ibiza. Its uncanny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=67iZwAJqsVY I am sure its him. The hair, the mannerisms etc. I wonder if it was recorded in some club in Ibiza and he went under a false mane.If it isn't Mike I have never seen anyone look so much like someone in my life.

And does look a little like Mike from the early 90's I suppose. And even if he was playing under an alias, he would not play the guitar that averagely. -------------- I hate getting up early. I didn't even realise there were two 6 o'clocks in one day! Back to top

That and the fact that the video says its "Alan Hilvert-Bruce and Shane Stevens" So.... No. Looks a little like him, but the guiarplaying is a good tell tale. -------------- Grand piano. Reed and pipe organ. Glockenspeil. Bass guitar. Vocal chords. Two slightly sampled electric guitars. The venitian effect. Digital sound processor. And Tubular bells.

I suppose another good indicator would be if Faux-Mike-O sang. Did the real Mike ever look quite that surfer-dude-ish? -------------- "I'm no physicist, but technically couldn't Mike both be with the horse and be flying through space at the same time? (On account of the earth's orbit around the Sun and all that). So it seems he never had to make the choice after all. I bet he's kicking himself now." - clotty Back to top

There's an interview on the Elements dvd, where Mike looks  very dude-ish and surfer-ish, he's wearing a hawaii shirt and his hair is long and wavy, just like that Australian guy. Back to top
