EARTH-BAND-GITARRIST DAVE FLETT IST 70 JAHRE ALT GEWORDEN
Teilen
Von 1975 bis 1979 war er Gitarrist bei Manfred Mann‘s Earth Band und spielte die Erfolgsalben THE ROARING SILENCE (1976) und WATCH (1978) mit ein, was ihm einen festen Platz in der Earth-Band-Familie garantierte. Fletts Spiel war äußerst facettenreich und von hoher Präzision geprägt. Das versetzte ihn in die Lage, sich die Stile anderer Gitarristen anzueignen und wie ein Auftragsarbeiter zu agieren. Diese Eigenschaft ermöglichte ihm, während einer laufenden Tour bei Thin Lizzy den urplötzlich ausgestiegenen Gary Moore zu ersetzen. 2014 veröffentlichte er mit FLYING BLIND sein erstes Solo-Album, an dem auch Manfred Mann und John Lingwood von der Earth Band mitwirkten.

Flett's playing was extremely multi-faceted and characterized by high precision. This put him in a position to adopt the styles of other guitarists and act like a hired hand. This characteristic enabled him to replace Gary Moore during an ongoing tour with Thin Lizzy. In 2014 he released FLYING BLIND, his first solo album, which also featured Manfred Mann and John Lingwood of the Earth Band.
