It all started with a......car!

Post by space triangle »

Pink Floyd drummer Nick Mason recalled the first time he met future bandmates Roger Waters and Rick Wright:

Regent Street Polytechnic – that’s where I met Roger Waters and Rick Wright,” Mason told AC/DC singer Brian Johnson in the latest episode of his Life on the Road TV series, which airs on AXS TV. “We were all training to be architects. It was architecture’s loss when the music took off – or not!.

He recalled that they "met because Roger knew that I had a car". I’m not sure he knew what the car was. … Actually it was an Austin 7 Chummy with a top speed of 20 mph and [it] had no brakes. But when he asked if I might lend it to him, I said no. … He also tried to get a cigarette off Rick and famously Rick went no – which sort of set the pattern really for the next 50 years.

:D
