I'm not saying I would have wanted Frampton in the Stones, but Ron Wood never stamped himself on the band the way Taylor did either. Tough spot to fill. Mick Ronson would have been good. But another Mick...? Veto.
-
Ron Wood was an employee rather than a band member for about 20 years but the Stones is all about style of performance / lifestyle and Woody fitted in a way Frampton never could have.
Haven't seen the You Tube Bovidae posted yet but familiar with Humble Pie.
Returning to your original post - Frampton Comes Alive definitely came from nowhere at the time. Interestingly nowhere near as successful in his native Britain
-
I always believed the lead role (actor unknown, the pot-smoking quarterback) in Dazed and Confused which was set in 1976 or thereabaouts was meant to be a Peter Frampton lookalike, Linklater lived it it was an American phenomenon at the time, right guy right look right sound at precisely the right moment.

It's like a Stones cover band, closer to the real thing than the Black Crowes.
Bill Wyman played on the Manassas album with Stephen Stills and Chris Hillman in early 70s and purportedly would have given his left nut to be in that band, claims he would have left the Stones to do it.

@Salacious-Crumb Pretty good band.

I watched this last week. Made seven years ago. It was great. These guys are badasses.

So badass that Wilko Johnson got to chop Ned Starks head off
Lee was a hardman alright. Wilko has made his improvised choppy guitar into an emulated style. Never saw them live but their shows were apparently full on energy. Good to hear that Wilko seems to have got past his health scare where is was thought he only had months to live.

"'They said they wanted somebody really sinister who went around looking daggers at people before killing them. That made it easy. Looking daggers at people is what I do all the time, it's like second nature to me'."

That's great. Looking psycho has always been his natural visage and it has only improved with age.
Here's an old live clip of the Feelgoods

Just been listening to the rest of The Strypes new alum released today. Still wearing their influences on their sleeves. One minute you'd swear you were listening to The Jam, then Feelgood, then Squeeze but these young kids (still under 20) are really finding their own sound from those influences now.
Saw them live the other night and it was like going to a gig when I was their age. So much energy and fun. Will be a pity when they outgrow small venues though because the atmosphere was really suited to them.This is an older song but the clip is from this month. Below is a photo from the famous rock photographer Derek D'Souza taken during the same song at the gig I was at. (I was standing right next to him as he was shooting). Top band and great to see a load of young kids getting into real music.
