No need to resort to bribes, all you had to do was ask. I looked it up and the quote was vaguer than I remembered" From my memory, I played the solos on Days and Ain't that nothing, rhythm elsewhere, but as I've explained elsewhere, it becomes difficult except for solos, because both Tom and myself would play both chords and lead lines from bar to bar, verse to chorus. One would have to see a show and even then use a microscope to figure it out. People are often congratulating me on stuff Tom played, and telling me how much they love what Tom played somewhere, when they are in fact talking about me."
Also "I have seen that fans over the years have very often mistook who was doing what between Tom and myself, attributing even the wrong solos to us (we did list solos, but not every part, and as we could move from rhythm to lead work both even within a verse, and it would have taken a ridiculous effort to chart it all out). "
So while he says they trade off roles within a song, he doesn't necessarily say they trade specific parts.
He does say, talking about delegating parts, that "As to leads and solos, we kind of duked it out over the years. Since Tom was the songwriter, if there was something that he particularly wanted to play, I felt fine. Other things were clearly "mine." You developed a feel for who would be better suited for something. And then there were a few that got handed off between us, for various reasons," so it's possible that something could start out as a Tom part and end up a Richard part, or vice versa.

OK, If someone would truly investigate what *exactly* Richard said in the answer Buddhist BlackMonk claims below , ten I will reward you with the relatively RARE, French, original commercial release cd (used) that I bought on e-bay recently: " 'The Revolution' / 'Big Jo' / 'Ho', Summer 1992" Description: This was a promotional item given away with the 1992 cd, Television..This appeared only in French FNAC stores. 'The Revolution' (3:13) / 'Big Jo'(0:35) / 'Ho' (4:56)" (France), cd single, EMI SPCD 1619 1992.Isn't there a response to one of the questions on Richard's site where he says that they trade off parts within a song, so that the person who plays a riff during one verse isn't necessarily the person who plays it during the next verse?-------------- To post: Mail tv@obbard.comTo unsubscribe: Mail majordomo@obbard.com with message "unsubscribe tv"
