Spedding & The Vibrators

In November 1976 Spedding recorded a session with The Vibrators for the John Peel Show. Songs included 'Motorbikin, 'Misunderstood', 'Hurt', 'Pogo Dancing' and Get Outa My Pagoda'. He also played on stage with them.

See: http://www.chrisspedding.com/bio/bio5.htm

This relationship did not endure. However, The Vibrators are still in playing and are currently on tour in the UK. A highlight of their career was supporting Iggy Pop (whose band included Ron Sales and David Bowie on keyboards) when he played at The Friars Aylesbury, UK. On taking the stage their lead singer proclaimed 'We're the band that make the Rolling Stones look like old men".

In 2007 they were on the EASTER PUNK FEAST TOUR with Angelic Upstarts.

Spedding was also in John Cale's band for a time in the mid-70s.

Rolling Stones Connection

I've just heard Mike Batt say on the radio that Chris Spedding was on the final short list for the job of guitarist for the Stones, but as we know Ronnie Wood got the job instead. Is there any reference for this? Mike said that the band actually wanted Spedding more than Wood, but he had a gig the same night and couldn't make the final round of the audition.
