Talk:Earl Slick

Untitled
If there is one thing about Earl Slick that has always puzzeled me is how he hasen't become a household name...His body of work is without question, epic...Those of us that are musicians certainly know who he is, yet somehow, and I can't explain it, names like Jeff Beck, Ron Wood, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Eric Clapton, jump out at you as they should, But so should his name...I hope one day this will change, But until then he will be the best kept secret in the rock guitar world....LE —Preceding unsigned comment added by 68.197.25.157 (talk • contribs) 02:43, January 17, 2008 -- (Comment moved from the article page by Pburka (talk) 03:48, 19 January 2008 (UTC))

Year of birth?
Was Slick born in '51 or '52? For argument's sake, let's assume October 1 is the correct birthday.
 * Loudersound says he was 22 in 1974, and 11 years old on February 9, 1964. That would put his eleventh birthday in October 1963, and his birth year 1952.
 * The Herald of Scotland says that Slick was 21 leading up to the October 1974 release of David Live, which could mean he turned 21 in '74 or was already 21 for the recordings prior to the release at which he was 22. This would mean Slick was born in 1952 or possibly '53.
 * The San Diego Union-Tribune says Slick was 22 in 1974. The same source says he was 21 when he joined Bowie on tour in 1974. The only conclusion is that he turned 22 in 1974.
 * Slick's agency website says 1951 with no month or day. It also says he was 13 on February 9, 1964, which conflicts with his stated birth year, because a thirteen-year-old person with an October birth month would have been born in 1950.

Looks like more sources say 1952. Binksternet (talk) 18:40, 20 November 2022 (UTC)
