Back to Verse
An interesting fact is that The Nice’s Version released in the UK during 1968 (at
the height of protests against the Vietnam War) was considered an instrumental
“protest song” with the US Flag being burned at live performances. Even though the
Nice had Davy O’List as their Guitarist, he was sacked, allegedly for
inconsistency. Although Greg Lake did play Guitar with ELP, it was rumoured that
Emerson would have only tolerated Jimi Hendrix as “his” Guitarist. Well after
trying to amplify his piano to compete with incompetent Guitarists when he first
started, it is an understandable sentiment.
