Fallece Mel Galley (Whitesnake - Trapeze)
Encontre esta nota en la pag. de un magazine español.
---------------------------------
Esta es una triste semana para los seguidores de los Whitesnake clásicos. Mel Galley, ex-guitarrista de Whitesnake y de Trapeze, acaba de escribir una carta abierta dedicada a sus fans en la que explica que padece cáncer terminal.
Tuve oportunidad de ver a Mel una vez en directo, cuando Whitesnake tocaron en Barcelona en 1983, y tengo un recuerdo imborrable de aquella memorable actuación. Mel fue el sustituto perfecto de Bernie Marsden en la banda.
Esta es la nota que ha escrito Mel para sus fans:
“Hello Everyone.
Well, as some of you may already have read in the press or seen/heard on other websites, the verdict from the doctors following a full MRI scan is that my condition is terminal. Rather than sit around feeling sorry for myself I intend to make the most of the time I have left with my family and friends. I am blessed with a fantastic wife and two sons who I am very proud of. For now I am just aiming to make my 60th birthday in March.
I have enjoyed a great life, travelled the world having some amazing experiences, met all sorts of people and played with some of the best musicians there are.
Back in the late 60s when I first started playing in local bands I never imagined how far I would go and the shows I would play. I seemed to tour non-stop with Glenn and Dave in Trapeze in the early 70s. We supported The Kinks and The Moody Blues while still very young men, had people like John Bonham come on and do encores with us, and the likes of ZZ Top as our support act. We loved to play live and the fans seemed to love us, especially in the Southern States of the USA - HELLO TEXAS!
Playing on the same bill as The Eagles and The Rolling Stones, with Montrose opening, in front of 100,000 fans in Dallas in 1975 and headlining the 1983 Monsters of Rock Festival while in Whitesnake are two shows that I will treasure. There have been so many highlights that it's impossible to name them all.
The albums Trapeze recorded have, in my opinion, stood the test of time very well indeed. Each one has its own special moments and writing and playing with each line-up was enjoyable, rewarding and fun. Glenn still occasionally throws in a Trapeze song during his shows and they sound as fresh as if written yesterday. That tells me how good they are. The fact that he has always had one of the most amazing voices you have ever heard helps too! God Bless You Glenn.
Due to my arm injury my time in Whitesnake sadly only resulted in one album. Playing with those guys was a buzz and both line-ups I was involved in contained tremendous musicians. I'm sure John Sykes and I could have written some great songs together. It was so nice to meet him again recently over 20 years later and to see him still playing the same Gibson as back then.
Over the last 12 months, since the launch of my page and the Trapeze page, I have regained my love for playing and taken real pleasure from reading the comments and messages you have all left. I have heard from people I had lost touch with years ago. It has been fantastic and I thank you all. I honestly didn't realise the amount of people out there who still remember or have discovered my music. I just wish I could have had the chance to play the shows I had planned for this year.
Thank you all so much for your love and support over the years.
You Are The Music - I was just in a band!”.
Love Mel

Re: Mel Galley (Whitesnake - Trapeze) a punto de morir.
que lastima
y que valentía tiene el tipo, la verdad es para destacarlo... mucha fuerza de caracter hay que tener para tomarlo de esa manera...
Estemos todos a la espera de un milagro... aunque sea terminal, todavía hay posibilidades de que pase algo...
a seguir sus noticias de cerca!!!

Y si me oyes hablando en el viento tienes que comprender
que debemos seguir siendo unos perfectos desconocidos.

Re: Fallece Mel Galley (Whitesnake - Trapeze)
Que terrible noticia. Me pegó muy fuerte.
Mel Galley fue, mejor dicho, es (y lo seguirá siendo) uno de los mas grandes guitarristas que dio Whitesnake, y olvidado por muchos de los fans.
Grande Mel!!!!
