  • Zal Cleminson and Ted McKenna join me to talk about their amazing careers in music. Great insight into the Sensational Alex Harvey Band as well as Zal's latest project, Zal Cleminson's Sindogs. Ted talks in detail about drumming with Michael Schenker and so much more! Fun interview with two cool motherfuckers. Big thanks to Mike Drew for filming and The Wizard of Lanark Ron North for editing and production!

    Zal Cleminson is a guitarist that gives me shivers through and through. Being a guitarist myself for 30 years, I always founs myself gravitating to Zal because his playing had a serious unpredictability! His style is magical, and he is just getting better and better as years go bye. SAHB was a band that true Rock n Rollers got into becaue of the versatility in the music.
    God bless them all,
    and thank you for the upload and interview.

    Thanks for the comments everyone. Really enjoyed this interview. Having been taught drums by Ted since the age of 12 it is surreal that this would be the last time I would ever see him. His legend will live on for sure.

      Scott thanks for the timely interview. I'm one of those 70's guys who hold these guys in stratospheric regard, saw SAHB here in Cali and it's never been the same. Haha, but, then, why should it! Good on you...

My best mate and i are going to see Zal and his /sin'dogs/ next month. Can't wait, but i shall be certainly thinking of Ted also. RIP Ted... \m/

    I learnt to play drums listening over and over to SAHB stories, and 40 years on I still owe my technique and style to Ted McKenna. Inspirational drummer. Friendly, modest guy in real life as well.

    The SAHB was so under-rated and were not appreciated enough around the entire globe. They indeed were greater and more creative, with the ability to combine old and new musical influences and make people love it! RIP Alex!

    @adrianharris9091 3 ปีที่แล้ว +15

    Great muso's, and clearly two great blokes! Obviously very intelligent and easy-going guys. So nice to see the banter, and how they bounce off each other. A lot of reciprocated love and respect right there. As i say, really nice to see! An old, old acquaintance of mine once saw Ted at a 'Musicians Union' type of gig (in the mid '80's) and got him to autograph a MU sticker for me. As a fellow drummer it meant a lot, and i still have it, somewhere. Really, really enjoyed watching this... \m/ (:o)

    Saw Zal and Ted at the Marquee back in the day. The band was called Zal I think. The singer was Leroy Brown a backing singer from the Tubes, we were told. It was a hell of a show, with Leroy hanging from the lighting rig.. Didn't last long but hugely memorable for all the right reasons.

Stay well and Zal, keep up the good work painting mate. You have a fine touch. Ted, you're a legend.
    Cheers to you both and thank you Scott for a dandy interview.
