This is utterly brilliant news. I’m guessing there must be quite a few blanks in toppers memory of some of the key periods but he has the right man beside him to draw them out. Can’t wait for this.

Looking forward to this. Given all evidence, Topper's perspective on the band and his role is very clear-eyed and thoughtful.

Well, he’s talking about Carbon/Silicon as a going concern in that piece so guessing it has to be minimum 6-7 years old, likely more. Round 2004/5 is when he finally kicked the addiction for good I think.
