DAVY O'LIST: Q+Aprog.teamrock.com/features/2015-05-22/davey-o-list-q-aYou were briefly involved with The Nice, Jethro Tull, Roxy Music and even Pink Floyd for one gig. Do you sometimes feel like prog's 'nearly man'?
I know why you say that, but it's not the way I think. To be honest, I was too young when I got those chances to take full advantage. I was 19 when was in The Nice and the rest of them were about 25, so that caused its own problems. I did one gig with Floyd in Liverpool, standing in for Syd Barrett, and the guys did come to see me play a few times with The Nice when they were looking to bring in a permanent second guitarist. I really should have grasped the opportunity and pushed myself forward, but, again, my inexperience held me back. I waited for them to come to me, and instead they offered the job to David Gilmour.
