Rod Smallwood

So what I want you to imagine is I want you to imagine the sitting in a room.

And there is Rod Smallwood sitting at his desk.

And there is the lead singer of the band that he manages sitting opposite him.

And then the rest of the band are kind of standing around in their West Ham shirts.

This proved to be more of a simple annoyance to the band, and especially band leader Steve Harris, whose professionalism he had been driving since the band's outset.

It also meant more work for manager Rod Smallwood in finding a way to reschedule those lost gigs.

The cancellation of nine gigs between April 30 and May 10 left the band in limbo and serious discussions behind the scenes were escalated on the back of them.

The band was booked in for their first ever concerts in Japan two weeks after this and during a 27-hour flight to get there.

There was drugs, there was drinking, and there was smoking, all of which started to affect his performance.

To be honest, I never really noticed it on these recordings when I first got this EP, but the winds of change were blowing.

It is interesting that for this album, the original artwork showed Eddie on stage holding out Paul DeAnno's severed head to the audience, and manager Rod Smallwood had to quickly have that rescinded and new artwork done.

The artwork that now exists as the cover to the EP, because at the time, the band was in the process of discussing DeAnno's tenure in the band.

Oh,

Rod Smallwood.

Rod Smallwood, yeah, yeah, he's a proper northerner.

He's from Yorkshire, I believe.

So maybe afterwards you can do Rod Smallwood saying, Adrian already penned the title track, but Gurs came to me and said, I'm going to do it as well.

Sorry, Dan.

You

Is this it? Apparently it's about Martin Burch, this song.

The joke song about Rod, no, it's about Rod Smallwood, sorry.

I live in Los Angeles.

I don't know what
