Talk:Glenn Hughes (musician)

message: Shouldn't we add a disambiguation page for both Hugheses?

replies: text: Certainly not a disambiguation page. This is the only Glenn Hughes that is wholly notable (less that embarrassing excuse for music with those tossers in 1992 where he featured as a guest vocalist), anyone else will have to be directed somehow.

replies: text: Don't get me wrong. A lot of us did know "the Leatherman with the moustache, the biker"!!, but how many people can honestly name him? God rest his soul. Evlekis (Евлекис) 19:17, 19 June 2010 (UTC)

message: I thought (as per the blooklet included with the CD) that it was Rudy Sarzo that played on Whitesnake's Slip of the Tongue album. As a matter of fact, I saw a poster from Slip of the Tongue once with Coverdale, Steve Vai, Aldridge and Rudy Sarzo in it -- but no Glenn Hughes. --Pinnecco 12:05, 15 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: Hughes played very few live dates with Black Sabbath in early 1986. Apparently he played a disastrous gig in Detroit where he literally froze onstage (due to stage fright, going onstage without a bass, or drugs, depending on who you talk to) and much of the vocals were "seconded" by then-keyboardist Geoff Nicholls. I had tickets to see this lineup in Kalamazoo, Michigan but it was around this time that Tony Iommi fired Hughes and the date was not rescheduled.
Hughes has stated that he never wanted to be a part of Black Sabbath. He has said "I was into the Tony Iommi solo project, but not Black Sabbath...it's like James Brown singing in Metallica..."--MarshallStack 22:54, 12 October 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Also the one "Black Sabbath" album where he sang is widely regarded as a Tony Iommi solo album, with the Sabbath label stuck on it by the record company. The claim that he is "well-known as the lead vocalist for Black Sabbath during the mid 1980s" is just plain misleading.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 85.227.238.130 (talk) 19:06, 10 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: That's exactly true, I have seen an interview with Tony Iommi on The Black Sabbath Story either volume 1 or 2 many times, I have them on VHS tape and can't watch them anymore, where Iommi explicitly states that the record company "pulled the contract on him" and made him put it out as a Black Sabbath album. He was contracted to do a certain number of Black Sabbath albums, or something similar to that, Iommi even stated that he was very much against such a thing, as it was his solo album, not Black Sabbath, but in the end the record company won out due to legal obligations. So Iommis' story of the situation matches what Glenn Hughes always stated. 5.56.31.175 (talk) 18:34, 25 August 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Very few live dates with Black Sabbath 

message: By reading Hughes biographies on his official sites and even English Wikipedia page on Cannock, it seems Cannock is the town he was born in. Old version of English Wikipedia stated the same and indicated Penkridge as Hughes real surname (but I haven't heard about it in other places). French Wikipedia states Penkridge is Hughes real surname. Who knows the truth? --Furyo Mori 22:17, 17 September 2006 (UTC)

message: Further to the discussion on Glenns birth place Cannock is indeed his birthplace which is in staffordshire Uk some miles from Wolverhampton central England. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Sutty1964 (talk • contribs) 07:15, 9 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Any Glen Hughes bio should mention his involvement with the band 'Boys Club' which also featured Marc Bonilla on guitar and the recently diseased former Emerson Lake and Palmer keyboard wiz Keith Emerson.
