Good to see you vertical
Some time in 2019 Ian Paice visited his colleague Lee Kerslake, who was filming a documentary about his musical career and battle with cancer. Lee passed away in 2020.
Thanks to Igor’s Rock Universe for posting the video, to Mike Whiteley for bringing it to your attention, and to Uwe for proofreading.
Unauthorized copying, while sometimes necessary, is never as good as the real thing
“Some time in 2029 …” – now when did Ian get his time travel contraption again, lieber Nick?

April 27th, 2025 at 19:27“Uwe for proofreading …”
April 27th, 2025 at 20:47I remember watching this video back in 2020 sometime, it was good to see as it is again now. Lee was a rather good drummer who played and sounded like no one else. It reminds me of a few younger metal heads back in the day not realising that it was the same lineup on the second O$$y album, Diary of a Madman. Just because the O$Bourne’s had placed photos of Aldridge and Sarzo on the inside of the album they presumed it was them. I was bemused, asking them ‘what, you cannot hear that it is the same band as on the first album’? Not to worry. Ken Hensley passed not long after Lee, bless them both. Classic Uriah Heep and all round wonderful musicians indeed. Cheers
April 27th, 2025 at 22:15I was lucky enough to meet UH backstage during the Sonic Origami tour. Great Lee. It was all very nice because they were easy and friendly.

AndreA – UH as in Uwe Hornung??!!
April 28th, 2025 at 11:10Did you get hus autograph???
Always the mentally challenged kid brother of DP with learning difficulties and special needs, but I like them too. I mean how can you not if you have a semblance of a heart.
Realschul-Deep Purple, the quip was back in the 70s.
Max, you explain to our non-German readers the class-defining and class-preserving German three-tier (or four-tier if you count in Gesamtschule) system!
Kerslake was a vibrant, joyful and grooving drummer, especially great with Gary Thain, Bob Daisley and Trevor Bolder (all three great bassists) as his rhythm section partners. John Wetton was of course an excellent bass player too (just listen to what he did on King Crimson’s Red album), but upon joining Heep he dumbed down his bass playing beyond recognition. I always wondered why because there was enough room for him to stretch out – neither Ken Hensley nor Mick Box were as “sonic-space”-grabbing and “(one of them is) always soloing” as Jon & Ritchie. But somehow, Wetton – unlike Thain or Bolder – didn’t really know what to do with Heep’s music, it apparently didn’t inspire him to try anything special. Hensley (who along with Gerry Bron rated Thain and Bolder as the best bassists Heep ever had) once said about him: “He’d either play something completely standard & mundane or something wholly off-the-wall, never anything in the middle.” The only bass line I remember from Wetton’s tenure with the band were those nicely melodic walking bass runs in Return To Fantasy (a great song).
Of course, compared to his wild King Crimson days, Wetton’s bass playing would also remain safely on the functional side with UK and even more so with ASIA.
April 28th, 2025 at 14:43Incredible drummer and band (my 5… Purple one …so Zepp,Ash,Sweet of course Heep .”Sweet Lorraine” (Live1973) Gary -Lee ..what a rhythm ride !!!!!…groove groove groove
April 28th, 2025 at 17:47Their souls enjoyed paradise
Karin: UH did meet a member of UH once backstage in Aschaffenburg, namely Herr Wetton (gigging there with ASIA)! He was very complimentary about his time with Heep (“really nice guys and we had a great time”), if somewhat vague on his contribution: “Demons & Wizards … wasn’t that the one I played on?!”
April 28th, 2025 at 17:57@ 5 Karin
.. I remember that night UH talked so much, but really so much so much…uuuhhhh 
April 28th, 2025 at 21:24but of course I had his autograph
John Wetton as Robert Fripp fondly calls him ‘the bass beast of terror’, something like that. Wetton’s King Crimson work is second to none. Miles higher than anything after that actually although with UK he was also very good. He was also a very good singer John, one of my favourites as Greg Lake is too. Wetton was on a salary with Uriah Heep and would have done financially well out of that tenure with them from what we can read. Probably made more money than the UH band members, depending on which band members story we read. That also would have been where he picked up some bad hedonistic habits no doubt. Crimson were NOT a drug or booze band, so going to the opposite side with Uriah Heep would have been a ‘let the hair down’ scenario for Wetton. A fine musician he was and I own the live in Tokyo reunion Asia concert from around the 2006 era and he is grand on that as all the musicians are. Cheers.
April 28th, 2025 at 22:48@9
AndreA guard that autograph with your life!
April 29th, 2025 at 08:50One of these days it will be very valuable
@8
Woah Uwe! I’m really impressed
Do you know who I met once?
No one actually, but once I saw a seagull with a funny leg and it had a french frie in its beak
April 29th, 2025 at 08:56Wetton had alcohol issues already with Heep, but he was a “functioning alcoholic” (as was David Byron for a long time until he all of the sudden wasn’t anymore). But those two guys were basically co-alcoholics with Heep (and always got along splendid).
I guess Wetton not only left Heep “sure enough after he had paid off his house” as Ken Hensley once sardonically remarked, but also because he saw the dwindling record sales, Heep had peaked in the early 70s and were on a path of descension – they still were a concert draw, but album sales dwindled by the mid 70s.
Of course, once Byron had gone and with Lawton and Bolder new in the fold, Heep did see a renaissance of sorts in Germany (always their happy hunting ground) in the late 70s. The Lawton albums sold well and even spawned hit singles.
I remember an interview with Paul Rodgers in Bad Company days in 1976 where he quipped to a German journo as an introduction: “Hi, are Deep Purple and Uriah Heep still the two number one bands in Germany?”
And it is true, unlike in places like the UK or the US, Heep were even in 1976 still selling more albums than Bad Co in Germany. We never quite got the hang of Bad Co here, maybe the virtuoso aspect was lacking, Germans love technical competence. 
April 29th, 2025 at 16:40I thought John Wetton was on a contract for a certain period, until UH sorted things out, so to speak. After being in a couple of not so successful (commercially) bands for a while, Wetton would have enjoyed that period of ‘freedom’ in UH on all accounts and why not. Cheers.
April 29th, 2025 at 22:03Gary Thain’s unfortunate onstage electrocution in September 1974 put paid to that ‘classic’ lineup of Uriah Heep.
April 29th, 2025 at 22:49He never recovered from that and as we are well aware it didn’t help that he was a raging heroin user at that time. By the time Heep had reconvened in early 1975 it would have been apparent that Thain wasn’t up to playing in that band anymore, and most probably any band. A shame and it was the first death of a rock musician that had a ‘impact’ on me as a youngster. Meaning from a band that I was into and also not being aware of the previous issues at that time. It was rather symbolic Gary’s passing as it was when Heep also died in many aspects, at least for myself and no doubt many others. They were not the same band in so many ways, their golden egg had hatched well before ’75 and I couldn’t get into the following albums, still can’t. There are one or two songs that are good, however as albums they leave a lot to be desired. Quite ironic that Deep Purple were following suit in that aspect a little later on, not too far behind. That damned needle and rock ‘n roll. It wasn’t all bad though as Ritchie came along and saved the day or that really should be the year. Don’t roll your eyes Uwe, he he he. Cheers.
The closest you’ll ever come to hearing Ian Paice in Uriah Heep, I present to you:
Ken Hensley – guitar, keyboards, David Byron soundalike vocals + songwriting so Uriah Heepy, Heep fans will get all weepy …
Trevor Bolder – lead bass
Little Ian – drums
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kkn9IVkdFfE
April 29th, 2025 at 22:57“Woah Uwe! I’m really impressed
”
Nonsense, I was simply dragged along by former Classic Rock and PROG freelancer journo Nick Shilton (he’s a former attorney and we knew each other professionally and bonded over the music) who is a big ASIA nut and was a personal friend of John Wetton, he also wrote the liner notes for the Japan only ASIA debut remaster boxed set and helped John with his autobiography.
For the hundreds of rock concerts I’ve been to, my celeb meeting rate is laughably low. Tony Carey, the ASIA guys, Laurie Wisefield, the Accept bassist Peter Baltes (when hardly anyone knew them) and standing in line with Alice Cooper for theater tickets in the London West End – with my then girlfriend Christiane adding unhelpfully: “I thought he would be taller.” Back then he was 1,77 m tall, Christiane deemed that wholly insufficient, wimmin folk can be so superficial I tell you …
Oh, and riding an elevator with George Foreman (and his German shepherd dog) in the Kinshasa Intercontinental in 1974.
The only Purple guy I ever spoke with was Nick Simper and that only happened last year.
Oh, and I once questioned Yngwie Malmsteen inqusitively at a DiMarzio booth at Frankfurt Musikmesse why he had dared leave Alcatrazz and he answered patiently (if somewhat jadedly, but that’s just him!) that Bonnet “wasn’t professional enough” for him even though “he is a great singer”.
Herr MacGregor, Herr Wetton told me that he first met the Uriah Heep guys in the US while touring with Roxy Music there (which of course never amounted to anything in the US stadium circuit, the Yanks didn’t get Roxy Music at all). They must have shared a bill, he saw Heep play (still with Gary Thain who had become a touring liability with his heroin addiction) and it dawned on him that he really would like to play harder music than Roxy’s art rock again. So he chatted up Ken Hensley …
Incidentally, there is a track on High & Mighty where John Wetton sings – uncredited – lead and also plays some mean bass:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NwP4t5C9Q5I
When Byron heard John sing it in the studio, John became all worried that Byron might take it the wrong way, but instead Byron totally cool approached an unmanned keyboard standing in the studio and proceeded to play a keyboard line to the song which John said “fitted perfectly”. Those two got along great. Wetton has said that he would have stayed with Heep longer had Byron not been fired by Hensley, Box & Kerslake.
April 30th, 2025 at 00:14@17
“wimmin folk can be so superficial I tell you …”
WRONG!
“Oh, and riding an elevator with George Foreman (and his German shepherd dog) in the Kinshasa Intercontinental in 1974.“
Man, those dogs have a big, BIG, place in my heart 
Ok, personally – I would only have had eyes for the GSD
“The only Purple guy I ever spoke with was Nick Simper and that only happened last year.“ – SHOCK! You have never said hi to Ian G, Ian P, Roger, RB-Steve-Simon, Jon-Don????
Uwe I have to be honest here, that disappoints me A LOT!
The no 1 thing on my bucket list is to meet any of the Purple gentlemen, preferably the current splendid vocalist
April 30th, 2025 at 07:25( in Denmark it’s not called ‘the bucket list’, but the ‘clog list’, because we see it, the last thing we do before we roll up and die is to kick off the clogs (in Danish: træsko!)
It’s not something I ever really strive to do – I’m more the “never meet your heroes guy”. Most of the few encounters I had over the years happened by pure chance. I’ve never had the least inclination to join a meet & greet. I’d likely just freeze – bit like your IG not wishing to meet the “butter tenor” at the time.
Morbid as I am, I prefer visiting the graves of famous people. I’d like to see Tommy Bolin’s and Jon Lord’s graves one day. I did miss Lenin when I was in Moscow once, they were renovating his mausoleum.
But I assure you: George Foreman was physically a lot more impressive than his run-of-the-mill shepherd dog (we had two ourselves, father and son, they were much nicer). Which was an ill choice for him to bring to Kinshasa anyway as shepherd dogs were viewed by the Zaïroise population as a symbol of white-man colonial oppression. He might as well brought a whip. Already saddled as the “Uncle Tom” candidate in the fight with the civil rights-vocal Ali, Foreman had some real bad PR advice there.
April 30th, 2025 at 12:08@19
“I’d likely just freeze – bit like your IG not wishing to meet the “butter tenor” at the time.” – Uwe, sweetie, they are just people, persons like you and I!
They put their pants on one leg at a time!
Next time you should stumble over some celebrity remember how fortunate it is for them to meet you
(Alright, entre nous, when I was young(er) I have met some famous folks, chatted, had a bit of a laugh but they were not as interesting as my friends or family
One thing I’m smirking at is the fact that a lot of people fight a real battle to become famous, and when they arrive at Famousville, they spend the rest of their lives trying to fight off us commoners
April 30th, 2025 at 15:14Not all celebrities (ohh man hate that word) are like that, a lot of people with real talents are humble and kind and really grateful
You know, just like your Ian Gillan
Some people are at least honest about it, like heartthrob Kevin here @01:41 …

“And nobody recognized me … and it was awful! I was like … THIS SUCKS!”
April 30th, 2025 at 21:19@ 20 – so true Karin. Us dung gatherers, peasants and commoners are a thorn in the ‘celebrities’ side it seems. Although most of them don’t mind the fawning and money we throw at them and everything else. Famousville, ha ha ha, good one. Regarding my comments above, when I say ‘Us’ ‘We’ or ‘I’, I am not speaking personally of course. Perish the thought. Cheers.
May 1st, 2025 at 00:14@21
Kevin B is a cutie! So refreshing with some “celebrity” (
) honesty !
May 1st, 2025 at 10:06@22
Exactly MacGregor!
Without the vast amount of money and admiration, where would they be?
As I may have mentioned before in these halls of cleverness, sanity, enlightenment and admiration among ourselves, Ian do not like to show up to meet&greet, where the more wealthy part of the fan base actually have the money to meet the band! Instead he talks with people where he meets them, a very appealing quality if you ask me
May 1st, 2025 at 10:15Oh wow, so IG not doing meet & greets is a sign of his egalitarian stance, a true Che Guevara he is, hasta la victoria, siempre!

I really need to be less cynical about things and see the world in a more gullible light.

Uwe you need to be at LOT less cynical
No need what so ever to be gullible!

I thought you might like it, given your affinity to the Pet Shop Boys, Sparks are to them what Judaism is to Christianity.
Criminally underrated as progenitors of Dadaist Kleinkunst, I adore them, music AND lyrics.

May 3rd, 2025 at 14:50Sparks, I actually saw them in Copenhagen in 1975 (I think), but I lost track of them after that. I might check them out again.

May 3rd, 2025 at 17:54“… Copenhagen … 1975 …”
Lucky bastard!
May 4th, 2025 at 17:40Yeah, I’m old…
May 5th, 2025 at 05:44@34
Now what’s wrong being old!
May 5th, 2025 at 07:35I’m fine being old enough to have seen many bands in their heydays, like DP with Coverdale and Hughes, Black Sabbath, Rainbow, Nazareth, Sparks, Whitesnake, Weather Report with Jaco Pastorius, Jaco Pastorius solo, Larry Carlton, Lee Ritenour, Mezzoforte, Shu-Bi-Dua… (and so on).
May 5th, 2025 at 14:26I’m 68 and still working and expect (hope) to be able to that a couple of years yet.
We are not worthy, Janbl!
May 5th, 2025 at 15:43@36
Aww man I dig you mention Shu-bi-dua in the same sentence as DP etc
Btw: living north of Randers, do you know Værket?, the sad leftovers from the late and great Shu-bi-dua, are performing at Værket.
May 5th, 2025 at 16:04I thought about going, but without Michael Bundesen and his daaaaark voice, there is nothing much to listen to anymore
(And now I really don’t hope any of your relatives are in the current version of Shu-bi-dua 🫣)
@ 36 – janbl, you being only a few years older than Uwe and myself had you in a better position regarding a few earlier concerts. A bit like a few friends I have who are about 7 years older than me. They were out and about as the bigger bands of the earlier 70’s were. What goes around comes around I suppose. These days when I am talking to younger rock music followers, they say ‘I cannot believe you got to see some of those bands’. That makes me feel (a little older), but in a good way. It has it’s good side too, at least we were not born with a mobile phone in our hand. Cheers.
May 6th, 2025 at 01:53Just for you, Karin… (but they were good then).
No, I’m living on “Devil’s Island”. Last time I was at a concert on the “Main Land” was in the 70s when I was at Air Base Karup. Shu-Bi-Dua a couple of times in Herning and Uriah Heep (with Lawton) in Holstebro. The rest was in Copenhagen.
May 6th, 2025 at 05:26@40
To all our foreign friends in here, this is the Danish band Shu-bi-dua
https://youtu.be/x32adIERbjo?si=5uEFVulx5kpir99l
Please notice the vocalist, Michael Bundesen! He had a very nice voice and apparently he loved VWs
May 6th, 2025 at 08:26Actually, Black Country Communion is playing tonight about one kilometer from where I’m working
May 6th, 2025 at 11:03(I am not going).

My bad
. Im still not going 
janbl
May 6th, 2025 at 14:00@ 41 – The old VW ‘beetle’ Karin. A quite lively and dare I say it ‘bouncy’ music track to accompany the promotional video. My brother owned one back in the day, a reliable car from my memory and there were plenty of them all the way out here in Australia. Also should mention the Kombi van, aka the hippy and surf van. Still see those around, just a few days ago there was one here in our little village, painted up and loaded with camping gear etc. No doubt a few younger people travelling around Tasmania living the dream. Cheers.
May 7th, 2025 at 07:13@45
Yeah, but MacGregor, did you listen to the vocalist’ voice?
Unfortunately he died a couple of years ago which removed my desire to go to their concerts completely
One of my brothers also had a Beetle, beige in colour, and it was awful in wintertime because there was absolutely no heater in it
May 7th, 2025 at 12:04I guess it was about that time where I started to appreciate warm coffee
@ 46 – Yes Karin, this morning I watched a few live performances from 1992 and also 1998. A shame that he has passed away, he was a lively creative talented individual. To be honest with you he sounded a lot similar to Elvis, that baritone style and I say that with respect as there are many male vocalists who sing within that range and with that style, that is a good thing. There was a lot of harmony vocals with that group at times so I had to get to the solo vocal sections to have a proper listen to him. He was good and also a good frontman for that band, the people obviously loved him. In regard to your brothers car with no heater, I cannot imagine that here let alone over there in winter. Although I also owned one or two cars as a youth without a heater, but it wasn’t Denmark or Europe in winter! Sheesh, how long did he drive around for without a heater. I think you would need more than warm coffee to get through that although at least that is a good start to proceedings. I feel cold thinking about that as we enter our southern winter here at the moment. Thanks for the link. Cheers
May 7th, 2025 at 23:12Shu-bi-dua remind me so much of Berlin band Morgenrot who in the late 70s/early 80s seemed poised to break through with their brand of poppy hard rock with clever German lyrics, but then for whatever reason their career floundered and they were dropped by CBS. I really liked them, they were very dynamic live and had a great frontman with Enny (who would go back to taxi driving after the band folded).
https://youtu.be/d5PPgRFKhgM
I had a Beetle/Käfer too, a 1302, man those cars were overrated! The heating was always an issue, Karin is right, they were merciless gas guzzlers no matter how you drove them, unstable with strong side winds, fickle in curves and let’s not even talk about wet or snowy road surfaces. Mine went the way of most Beetles when one day on the Autobahn pistons and cylinders decided to become happily one forever.
May 8th, 2025 at 00:55@47
“To be honest with you he sounded a lot similar to Elvis, that baritone style and I say that with respect as there are many male vocalists who sing within that range and with that style, that is a good thing.”
I guess you’re right MacGregor, but he didn’t look like Elvis, did he!?
I think the ‘I dislike Elvis a lot’-thingy is merely because he looked like a – in Danish: Flødebolle! I wonder if you have those in Tasmania!
When I look the word up in my Danish-English dictionary it says: cream puff – hopefully it’s the same.
Yes, everybody loved Michael Bundesen, as his name was.
I particularly loved his voice.
Take a listen to this, and hear how his voice conducts the song:
https://youtu.be/OxzpwtdQ3l0?si=aPyslS-lpzsFSRnj
Oh sorry for the video, I forgot it’s a bit, well you know
They made so many really fun songs, and my childhood was filled with their amusing lyrics.
Oh my brother had the Beetle in a couple of years, and I tell you I was freezing
but for me it was pure bliss to be driving with him, so I didn’t mind the freezing too much!
May 8th, 2025 at 10:37But you’re right, the Danish winter is not suited to cars without a heater!
@48
Yeah Uwe, I remember you mentioned Morgenrot when we talked about Shu-Bi-Dua before.
It must have been a Zeitgeist-thing.
Sometimes it’s nice to just listen to music for the fun part of it
To have a big laugh, or a cheesy smile, and forget one’s troubles for a bit!
Well, regarding the Beetle, it’s actually very fashionable now to own one! In Denmark at least it is!
May 8th, 2025 at 10:44Both the older types but indeed also the new cars where there actually are heaters involved
Our neighbour has renovated a very old Beetle, and I tell you when he is driving by, it sounds like a very heavy muscle car! Maybe I ought to ask him what kind of motor he has used for it!
I did learn to drive and took my drivers licence in at Beetle long time ago (in 1975).
My first car was a Morris Mascot though.
janbl
May 8th, 2025 at 16:58@51
My brother had a Morris Mascot too, unfortunately he was 1,91 m tall, so it looked like he took the car off
May 8th, 2025 at 19:51At least it was heated….
“I think the ‘I dislike Elvis a lot’-thingy is merely because he looked like a – in Danish: Flødebolle! I wonder if you have those in Tasmania!”
He has his fans, he doesn’t need you!
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gKOnOP04F6o
May 8th, 2025 at 21:14@ 49 -Karin, Uwe will be appalled at that video, all those ladies dancing and being suggestive like that and then taking over the band. At least you warned him. He will probably have to have a little down after watching that, to have a siesta I mean……….Yes indeed Elvis was manufactured in that sense, all that cheese and silk, it was embarrassing. The things people do when they are vulnerable, as in younger and being lead astray. Regarding Michael Bundesen and the band, they do like having fun. I accidentally viewed that video of him being honoured and he was in wheel chair, a stroke victim by the look of that. That was heartbreaking indeed. From being so vivacious to that, life has it’s horrible side. Not to worry as he is now at peace and has left a lasting legacy, bless him. Cheers.
May 8th, 2025 at 22:34@54
MacGregor, here is a little treat for you:

May 9th, 2025 at 07:31Shu-bi-Dua was trying to go a little hard-rocking
@53
Well, being dead and everything I didn’t think for one minute I was needed there
May 9th, 2025 at 07:42@ 55- thanks Karin, they certainly enjoy themselves don’t they. Yes they can rock, he he he, having a laugh at it all and why not. Was that Spinal Tap or was it Judas Priest? Cheers.
May 10th, 2025 at 01:00@57
The funny thing MacGregor is, that the lyrics is about the Danish favorite hobby: eating!
In Denmark we have this saying when we have eaten too much: we can’t wiggle our ears, and in Danish: vi kan ikke rokke med ørene
So when they are singing: ‘hey hey, we can’t rock with our ears’, they are making fun with the languages, because in Danish ‘wiggle’ is pronounced ‘rokke’, which are similar to the English ‘rock’
Ok, maybe I’m the only one who find this funny
But I have always loved Shu-Bi-Dua and their play with words.
May 12th, 2025 at 16:03Although it’s almost impossible to translate the songs so
@ 58 – many thanks for the explanation Karin, much appreciated. Humour does belong in music at times and they (Shu-Bi-Dua) seemed to always be enjoying it all. Cheers.
May 12th, 2025 at 23:51That the Danes like eating even their own food just shows what an incredibly hardy little people they are.

“Røde pølser” “Red sausages” can also be used in the well-known Danish hangover dish “Svensk pølseret” – Swedish sausage dish – which has nothing to do with Sweden.

Didn’t we use to put the smaller cocktail-sausages in, instead of the dangerously looking røde hotdog pølser?
And actually, to make that dish into Michelin-star material, we need to put some living ants in, and some old dead oak-tree bark, surrounded with the juice from a rotten pineapple with moss from the east-coast of the Faroe Islands! (I guess…)
