They kept going without Moon by hiring Kenny Jones of the Small Faces.
Rumor had it that they wanted Rat Scabies of The Damned due to his having a similar drumming style to Moon.
Moonie almost joined Led Zeppelin. He played with Jimmy Page and John Paul Jones on “Beck’s Bolero” and that was right around the time Page was in the process of forming Led Zeppelin, and he definitely wanted Keith Moon.
No kidding? I hadn’t heard that about Rat Scabies. My ex is pretty good friends with him - when she was in Scotland. He’s a Templar Knight. Does research on Rennes le Chateau etc
