Brian Ray Archived
-
I meet Brian Ray at backstage in the Driving Mexico tour, He talked to me on my two visits at Backstage, even he gave me his autograph, at the second Mexico show I was second row in front of him, and He recognized me and waved or pointed me in front of all the people, so for me he was the nicest person of the band (... along with Rusty) I talked to him MORE time that the one I spent with Paul. So for me Brian is not only a great player, but also a nice, a very nice person. Thanks Brian!

I think he is very handsome and a super musician. Paul has such a great band, I hope he keeps them- they are the best guys that he has ever played with- since The Beatles I mean. Yes- Brian Ray is fantastic!
-
Thanks for the link, OH Darling. It's the same information that's in the program from the Back in the US tour. If you come up with anything else, please let me know. There HAVE to be more facts somewhere out there. And, beatlesrock, you're absolutely right! Thurm must need glasses. From the 14th row, Brian looked great! If anyone comes up with anything else, please keep me posted.
-
He's a great guitarist... however being male I don't see the attraction females might get to him. Great that you like him though.
-
I think Brian rocks too, although me and my friends are still adamant that he looks like a blonde version of Steve Tyler! LOL

He doesn't look bad from the front row either.
-
OK...not fair! I thought 14th row in front of Brian and 10th row in front of Rusty was about as great as it could get. How did you end up in the front row? What show? Tell all.........

Ladies, check out this photo of Brian, Abe and one very lucky fan. Gosh, I am jealous!! http//www.marthascottage.com/paul2002.htm Thurm, you gotta admit that this is a great photograph! D

Thanks Oh Darling. What a lovely picture. By sheer fluke and blessed luck, Dreamseer, I was promoted to the front row twice - just happened to be standing by the Box Office at the right time. First time in front of Brian, second between Brian and Paul. It's lovely the way the band members acknowlege the crowd with a smile or a wink.
-
Great pic, OH Darling. I will add it to my screensaver-collection. And, beatlesrock, it's just not fair for one person to be THAT lucky! What shows were you at when this great stroke of good fortune happened? And, yes, you're right........it really is fun when the guys on stage acknowledge you in some way. I had that happen with both Rusty and Paul.

Birmingham 14/4 and Sheffield 29/5.

Personally, Abe is my favorite, but Brian is cool too.
I was lucky enough to meet Abe and Brian (and saw Rusty and Wix nearby, but I was too shy to go talk to them), and both were really nice. I remember that Brian personally shook hands with everyone in the group (about 8 people or so), and actually *introduced* himself as Brian as he shook each of our hands!
That really amused me. I've checked www.UBL.com a few times to see his credits, and he is on a *lot* of albums! I know that he played on one of Shakira's albums with Abe - and I think that's where they got to know each other - so you can thank Abe for getting Brian on the tour.
I believe Brian has been on a few Etta James CDs as well. Abe and Brian (and Wix too, I suppose) really need websites...
-
Introducing himself - that's so sweet. Bless.

Here's a link to UBL's list of what Brian has worked on: http://ubl.artistdirect.com/music/artist/appears/0,,483232,00.html I noticed that he co-wrote most of the songs on the self-titled album by "Farmer Not So John", and he does vocals on it too... http://ubl.artistdirect.com/store/artist/album/0,,242840-568853,00.html (He also does vocals and bass on their second album, apparently, called "Receiver.")

Thanks - I'll have a look
-
I really like Brian Ray Because he seems to enjoy his music so much!!
-
Doesn't he just. Love him to bits.
-
That's why I love Abe.
-
I am excited about the number of replies from fans wanting more information about Brian. I'm sure he would be thrilled by the love and support of all his fans!! I found a link to an article about Brian playing bass with Paul http//www.startribune.com/stories/457/3237373.html Unfortunately, there are no photos attached. ( YoungGerl, how did you meet the band? What it after one of the CA shows? At the hotel? Please tell us more....
