Talk:David Rhodes (guitarist)

brief spell with japan, live work only
there he is, listed & linked on the japan page, as live guitars in 1981 after rob dean left, but nothing here. how does one insert this data so that it's properly citated & won't fall foul of the wiki-police?

anyone? he mentions working with them on his own site, but only very briefly as an item in a list of his past recorded works... looking at the wikipedia entry for the song in question ('ghosts'), he's down as guitarist (also in the discogs entry) for the live b-side of the single. it's almost as if his contribution to japan's output has been kept out of his history (at least here on wp) for some reason. any clues? too minor? only gigs? it was short-lived as they broke up soon afterwards...

I'd also like to work in this quote from his own site somehow, perhaps in the traditional section on "gear", currently absent, because it's interesting in terms of his approach:

"I think give a player any combination of instrument and amp that they'll sound like themselves after a few minutes of fiddling about."
