They did not have a gig (yet). Then, for some obscure reason, one or two of them (let's assume two brothers) move to another city, approximately 200 miles (could be kilometers if they don't live in the States or Britain) away. The two remaining guys decide that the band does not exist without the two brothers and the band stops. Each member follows his own musical path from then.
Twenty years later a question arises: were they ever member of this band?
They did not play live,
They did not record.
Luckily I ran into a discussion on this Ledge about Bob Brunning and Fleetwood Mac.
Still haven't got an answer  |
Well to my opinion of course they were members of the band. They may sit back in later years and say (or if they become famous - in an interview) "when I was 21 I was in a band called Bleedwould Cams". Surely they wouldn't deny all knowledge?
