| My Steve Marriot Story |
| People, I must share one of the saddest stories of my life... |
|
|
|
Gary Lyons who produced the "Go For The Throat" album produced my band Company Of Wolves' 2nd album. We were huge Marriott fans so Gary said he'd ring him - he knew he was in LA and heading back to England soon - and he'd get him to stop over in NYC to lay down some tracks w/ us. But when he called the hotel in LA they informed Gary that he'd just left for the airport an hour earlier. |
|
|
|
That night when Steve Mariott got home to England he went to a party and had no tobacco & papers to roll his own as usual so someone gave him a package of Marlboros. Steve liked to smoke in bed but roll-ups always burn out if you're not puffing, commercial cigs like Marlboros don't. That night he went home, lit up & fell asleep...died in the fire. They found him in the closet -he thought it was the door to get out. We were devastated. |
|
|
|
If we had the idea to call on Marriot one day - or even one hour - earlier we could have not only had him play on our record - we could have saved his life. |
