View Full Version : My first Wikipedia article - on bassist Rick Grech (1946-1990) Steve M. 03-24-2006, 10:41 PM Enjoy! :cool: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rick_Grech gilligan fanatic 03-24-2006, 10:58 PM good job, its very interesting. He died very young. Steve M. 03-25-2006, 02:23 PM good job, its very interesting. He died very young. Thanks. Yes, he did die too young, having lived the rock star life to the extreme. :( Janice 03-26-2006, 12:29 AM Great article Steve. Very tragic end. One minor point though -- I would have liked to have read about the women ( and children?) in his life.

One minor point though -- I would have liked to have read about the women ( and children?) in his life. Good point, but I haven't found much info on Grech's personal life. Ditto for other members of Family; Roger Chapman is married and has children, but I've always been unable to name them. Fortunately, Wikipedia articles can be updated and amended, so if and when I do find such information, I'll definitely post it. :) ABlairican Pie 03-26-2006, 09:52 PM :rock: Very cool!! I would like to contribute an article for Wikipedia, since I use them as a reference for my rock and roll history entries. ABlairican Pie 03-26-2006, 09:59 PM Here's a picture of Rick Grech, which appears to be from the 60's. Interesting that he plays bass through a Marshall stack, because I thought that regular guitar amps were not designed to handle basses, I was told before that the heavy bottom end of a bass would blow out the speakers. Steve M. 03-26-2006, 10:11 PM Great pic! :thumbsup: As you all know, I have a CD of Family's early BBC performances, and on one track - one of the last recordings Rick Grech made with the band before defecting to Blind Faith - the bass line is definitely overloaded, with some distortion on a bass solo. (The icing on the cake was Grech's manic violin playing.) So Grech's use of Marshall amps doesn't surprise me. Thanks for the "cool" compliment, Cap'n! :cool: :wave: :rock: ABlairican Pie 03-27-2006, 08:58 AM Great pic! :thumbsup: As you all know, I have a CD of Family's early BBC performances, and on one track - one of the last recordings Rick Grech made with the band before defecting to Blind Faith - the bass line is definitely overloaded, with some distortion on a bass solo.
