Re: Topper Autobiography
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.

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

Re: Topper Autobiography
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.chocolatejesus wrote: ↑03 Feb 2019, 8:32amDoes anyone know when exactly topper got clean?
