Yes, I remember that programme. I think he was asked what he would say to Mick Fleetwood if he was asked to rejoin the band. Green replied that he couldn't because his nails were too long. I suppose it never crossed his mind that he could get around that by cutting them!

Well perhaps they just took too much, I know Brian Wilson's dad was a real bastard to him and stories such as battering him over the head with a piece of wood causing hearing loss! These things can have a bearing. Peter Green was forced into a mental hospital when he told a psychiatrist he heard voices and people who knew Peter said that was what did it not the LSD, he shouldn't have been locked up!

Comedian Bill Hicks smoked cannabis and was into magic mushrooms!

I read once that when Floyd were recording "Shine On You Crazy Diamond" Peter Green walked in n no-one had seen him fer years as he'd become reclusive, The fact the song was written fer him, makes that really weird to me if true.

He cut them eventually but had to relearn a lot of his guitar playing....still sounded good, though!!

Yes, but it was Syd Barrett, not Fleetwood Mac's Peter Green. Floyd's Roger Waters has said in interviews that this actually happened, and they did not recognise him immediately because he was fat and balding.

In the documentary that Steve mentioned, Peter Green said it was LSD that messed him up. He was adamant about that.

Never heard of Vince Taylor before but he looks a though he could have been a bit of a "bad boy" back in the 50's. Check out the gloves...!!

Don't forget Ozzie Osbourne - he's had like 20 drugs in him at the same time and survived!

I have not heard of him either. Just looked him up on Google and he seems to have been influential on a number of acts we have heard of, such as The Clash and David Bowie.
