Colosseum's Dick Heckstall-Smith was at one point a taxi driver.

I think Derek did it to take revenge on all those people who ignored Gentle Giant

I've heard that Don Van Vliet aka "Captain Beefheart" sculpted natural objects on a weekly children's television show, but I believe that was before he had started his musical career.

Also from Queen, Brian May is a PhD in astrophysics and is from some NGO that protects animals.
As for John Deacon, he's retired, hasn't him? |

Yeah. Those Sam Dunn docs are really good. I've watched all ten parts. I loved the interview with Yngwie Malmsteen. He is so arrogant! Had no idea. Lol |

I've seen them all too...they're very well done. I was always bummed though that he never did one focusing on my favourite metal genre...Doom. He could have started with Sabbath then worked his way through Candlemass, My Dying Bride, Type O Negative, early Opeth and wrapped it up with Cathedral and their 22 year career ![]() As far as Yngwie, you should try and catch reruns of his guest appearances on "That Metal Show". They have to go wide angle lens just to capture his entire ego ![]() |

Before you get too "down" on Derek Shulman:
"In 1988, he became president and CEO of Atco Records, where he signed the progressive metal band Dream Theater as well as Pantera. He also re-established the careers of AC/DC and Bad Company, both of whom sold multi-platinum albums under his watch." Re XTC, they stopped touring for the same reason Crimson did not a short while: like Fripp at one point, Partridge simply "flipped out" during the last XTC tour, and could not continue. XTC ceased being a touring band at that point, because Partridge simply could not take "the road." |

Didn't Derek Sherinian give piano lessons after he left Dream Theater to help pay some bills?

I also read that from Joe Cairney from neo prog band Comedy Of Errors.
Prog dentists, working against the caries caused by musical fast food

We know Ant Phillips as composer from library music, and I recall him also giving music lessons. Well, at least that's all music.

I remember IQ's former lead singer Paul Menel saying in an interview that after leaving IQ he worked at a greengrocer's store.

And we we're just informed that Roger Taylor and Yoshihisa Shimizu are also dentists. Have we just discovered some strange, previously not understood, yet vital link between prog and dentistry? Is the cover of The Mothers' Uncle Meat the ultimate clue in this conceptual continuity?

A friend of mine and I continue to use a phrase that we came across in a Guitar Player magazine when we were in college in the 80s: "Yngwie copies no one!" It was, of course, Yngwie who said this.

Former Triumvirat drummer/lyricist Hans Bathelt became a software designer, though i think that occurred after the band split.
