I should be shocked, but I'm not. Back in the 60's, 70's and 80's to a certain extent, the aztecs were one of the biggest bands in Australia. Maybe you should go google and put in "Billy Thorpe".
And I'll give you my quote to "Schumacher" when I met him.
"If I could drive as well as I play drums, then you'd be in trouble"
regards...gil
ps and of course he gave me a compliment, by saying.............
"who are you"

I'm not offended. What I meant was that 20 years ago, Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs were a house hold name. People would know the Name more than the current Prime minister of the country. It was like, "your one of the Aztecs, I was a Sunbury, here take my daughter, do you want some money, can you sign this etc. etc."
I had a run in with the TAX dept, in 1980. I had to go in and have a meeting behind closed doors in the security wing of the TAX dept, and I thought, this is it. The guy comes in the interview room and says, " are you gil matthews", and I said "ah ah ah Yes", and he said " Are you THE gil matthews", and I
thought ****, "YES", and then he said..........."I WAS AT SUNBURY", and i knew everything was going to be okay, and it was.
so I'm not offended at all, just pointing out that 20 years ago, the name "Billy Thorpe and the Aztecs was a house hold name, and now 20 years later,
it's only known by older people, who were around in the 70's and lived throught the drinking, late nights, drugs and woman.
regards...gil
