  • Gear 22 Cover
    We interviewed Vintage endorsees Bernie Tormé and John McCoy about their new trio, GMT. That was the ‘M’ and ‘T’. Here’s the ‘G’, drummer Robin Guy, a man who once put a stick through his eyelid... Notable on his own for being probably the only drummer to have both (Iron Maiden vocalist) Bruce Dickinson AND the Bay City Rollers on his CV (you really need a wider variety of acts, Robin – sarcastic Ed) Gear magazine sat Robin Guy down long enough to grab this quick update! Gear has actually featured Robin before, many issues ago, playing for Rachel Stamp – he’s an enthusiastic and creative user of Rhythm Tech percussion. Too enthusiastic even; careful with that stick, you’ll have someone’s eye out with that. Probably your own... oh, too late. So – how many bands are you actually in this week, Robin? “Right about now, I'm in/drumming for (breathes in); GMT, Swans In Flight, Conspirators, Bay City Rollers, Doom Day, Dan Crisp, Martin Barre, Sack Trick, Eat This, DRP & The Witches, Billy Liar... I should be a professional juggler!” OK, but they can’t all be out playing at exactly the same time, so what are all these bands up to? “GMT is releasing a second album, 'Evil Twin' which we’ll be touring to support. ‘Swans In Flight’ (see last issue re-release of this special CD – Ed) are playing shows (including two nights at Earls Court in November) promoting the album. Conspirators have just finished recording, produced by Bernie Tormé at his Barnroom Studios and have shows coming up, including Clive Aid, a benefit for MS sufferer Clive Burr, the ex-Iron Maiden drummer.
