He was a left side boy who'd usually be underneath the scoreboard near the corner flag where it met the Trinity Road stand. This was at the height of his fame when he had that Jag with the crazy paint job. Same here, met him outside the Holte one time, he was with his Chinese wife/girlfriend, and his graffiti Jag was behind the North stand. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once parked next to him in that car park, Robert Plant got out of the passenger seat 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was the most "sober" member so probably the most accurate viewpoint but also some great Villa stories as well. Shame it seems that the Sabbath Villa Park gig will always be a dream rather than a reality. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was chosen to be in a new version of GZR in 1997 but it was kyboshed as Sabbath reformed. Though totally gutted, I did get front row seats at the NEC to see them. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ah that sucks but at least a bit of a silver lining. The GZR stuff is actually quite surprising given his Sabbath roots but would have been cool. Sorry it didn't pan out for you!
