We had all the baffles around the drums and I had the cans on and my eyes closed, playing to him and then suddenly it just seemed a bit Norman Dayron : Ringo and Klaus caught on right away to what we were trying to do.
They did a good job. He just sat there in a corner and let this young white kid kinda run the show and tell everyone what to do. It was a bit strange. He was very modest and was quite embarrassed too. Norman Dayron : At the end of the day, Clapton asked if he should bother coming back. May 3, Olympic Studios. Ian Stewart keyboardist, Rolling Stones : The producer phoned me and asked me to help him set it all up.
People do this. Norman Dayron : On the second day in Olympic, Wolf got surly. I think it was just his mood. He was working with people that he had no real connection with. I think he was uncomfortable, and the way he expressed that was by being rather blunt and aggressive. He was like a fish out of water. Wolf was prepared to work, but he was going to be surly about it. I later found out that he was drinking heavily and not taking his medicines.
However, I believe this was the day when we made a breakthrough, because Eric asked Wolf to show him the changes to Little Red Rooster. Eric Clapton : It was a hairy experience.
It warmed Wolf up, to feel that they really needed him to show them what to do. I just nodded and laughed at the appropriate moment, just to keep him going.
So, over the course of the sessions, I offered him a variety of different percussion instruments — guiro, maracas, tambourine and triangle. He had great timing and he did a good job. I think David Bowie and Lennon were there too that night. It was an awkward moment, but we both ended up laughing about it and, again, it was an ice-breaking moment which bonded us a little better.
Finally, I looked in the toilets, turned the lights on, and there was a row of wooden stalls with the one at the farthest end with its door closed. I had to bend down and look through the space, about eight inches, at the bottom of the door, and I saw this gigantic pair of size 14 shoes, with the white sweat socks that he always wore.
But the cubicle was locked and there was no response when I called out his name, so I had to bang on the door. I stuck my head right under and I could see him slumped over, evidently unconscious. He had turned an almost white-ish grey colour, his trousers were down around his knees, so all I could do was squeeze into the stall with him, and started to shake him.
Luckily, he came around quite quickly, and got quite angry. That I should be in the cubicle with him was beyond his imagination. He had simply passed out. Newswire Powered by. Close the menu.
