Talk:Mick Avory

Dates
I come from the german Wikipedia (so please forgive me my english) and try to find out something about Mick's time in the Rolling Stones. Now I read here, he was playing with the Kinks from 1963 to 1984 (Quote: Work with the band (1963-1984)) - right down under this Line I read, he was hired in January 1964.... This doesn't fit as far as I can see. But my basic Problem is more or less to find out when he has left the Rolling Stones. I would be glad if someone could help me with this. Thanks anyhow -- Hartmann Schedel 21:04, 15 May 2006 (UTC)

I do not think he was ever really a Rolling Stone. I believe his mother was friends with Mick Jagger's mother (or something) and played with the Rolling Stones at their Marquee Club debut. This probably would have been in 1962 or 1963. Anyway, Keith Richard's did not think that he was a very good drummer. I do not believe he was ever a permanent, he was only temporary. member.--Bappzannigan 23:23, 10 November 2006 (UTC)

Please check the book "It's Only Rock 'n' Roll, the ultimate Guide to the Rolling Stones", by James Karnbach & Carol Benson, ISBN 0816030359, Facts on File, Inc. NewYork, NY, 1997 for the pages 57 and 58.

Mick Avory was never a drummer with the Rolling Stones. He was invited twice in May/June 1962 to rehearse with guys who eventually became the Rollin' Stones as of July 12, 1962. Mick Avory rehearsed twice at the Bricklayers Arms pub and that was it. After my discussion with Karnbach on this subject I was lucky to meet Mick Avory at a Record/CD fair in Utrecht, The Netherlands, where he played with his Kinks mates (not the Davis brothers). Mick Avory said that Karnbach's (who had also interviewed him) statements were correct and that he got tired having to tell over and over again that he was never a member of the Rolling Stones. By the way, Charlie Watts joined the Stones in early 1963. Tony Chapman was the drummer on July 12, 1962 and during most of the performances during the rest of 1962 and the very early 1963.

Open Handed Master Mick Avory
Yes. I will. I, Chavdar Likov (Чавдар Ликов), Bulgarian open handed player am personal student of Mick Avory. He is open handed drummer. He taught me kindelista, to lower to hi-hat, and lead on ride on leftista, Mick told me as a father-to-son or like brotherly-loving emotion to me, that he switched in live performance because it was less popular. That's all I can say. On "Brother" on Sleepwalker, he trully shines and I as a performer and open handed drummer can say he is open handed player for sure. I swear on my koliporecna Czyach-a-Slova Bulgarian blood that he is open handed performer and on records like those and Misfits, he shines for mega and it's clear he is doing it. I told Mick:" "Mick, I am amazed, that I talk with you in Bulgarian, as you are Bulgarian Englishman! I really was "Percussion instruments", but switched...!" "Midderm, Chavdar! Same with me! They were bastard to me in the regular bachelor, but by the years of Arthur, I was already open handed and trully developped!" I was with Steve Upton from Wishbone Ash, who is clearly left-handed, who leads on kindelista on the right cymbal and is amazing. Mick is like brother-father figure to me. I love and respect that Open Handed Wolf - whole life.

Major problems
This article has some major problems. One of the most glaring is grammatical; it reads as if written by someone still trying to learn English. There are too many uncited claims. I'll try to fix some of the more glaring language problems. Theamazingzeno (talk) 06:38, 15 February 2008 (UTC)


 * It also still reads as if quoting hear'say, fancruft and unsourced bollocks will suffice. As the previous editor notes, the article has way too many uncited claims. Can anyone help, please ?

Overly Favourable
The article seems very favourable as though written by a fan, it doesn't seem very factual. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.39.48.187 (talk) 13:17, 7 November 2010 (UTC)
