A Wee Chris Story

[zeeem]

Found on t'internet in Google Groups - no idea whether it's true or not, but it made me smile:

"Concerning wigs, there's this amusing story from late Rainbow days. Chris
Glen, bassist of The Sensational Alex Harvey Band fame, was on tour with
the Michael Schenker Group. They happened to stay at the same hotel as
Rainbow in Japan, and everyone was hanging around in or about the pool.

Chris Glen after a while got really tired of watching a certain Rainbow
vocalist just standing by the poolside posing, and decided to dip him in.
So he did; there was a high scream, and Chris Glen much to his surprise
found himself standing with the aforementioned vocalist's hair in his
hands! ;-) (This was around 1982 or 1983, just for reference.)"

Gotta be Joe Lynn Turner ;D

I would love to know if this is true!

I'll try and check - but His Chrisness is a bit preoccupied this week as he leaves to go with MSG on Friday - however, when Chris was in the scouts, he, then a non swimmer, was chucked into the water........hmmmm! So I couldn't really see him doing the same to someone else.......however, Chris became a good swimmer in his twenties having married a champion *diver!!

* leave it!!

My DEARS!!!! 'T is TRUE!!!! ;D

It seems that this poor singer fellow, Joe Lynn Turner, suffers from galloping *alopaecia all over his body - but no-one knew that - and nor could they fathom quite how everyone else came off stage wringing, soaked, wet through with their rock star tresses dripping down their backs...........Chris does say that it may have been exaggerated just a little and it was the shallow end and His Chrisness seems to recall being the worse for drink - I can't think that bit's right, some Johnny foreigner must have spiked his Irn Bru - anyhowz - it's true!! ARF!!

*not at all sure of the spelling

Doncha just LUV being a SAHB fan??!!

Hadn't heard about Joe Lynn Turner having alopecia before, but I've heard dozens of stories of him suffering more than a touch from LSD - Lead Singer Disease. More than a moderate ego on the chap by many accounts, so the wee dip at the Hand of Glen may have cooled him down a little. ;D
