LOVE Member Information

[shookm93]

Does anyone have any information about what most of the LOVE members did after they left the band? The Wikipedia pages only have information about Johnny, Arthur, Ken, Bryan, and unfortunately Beausoleil. There is absolutely no information that I can find on the other LOVE members. Also, I have heard that Johnny worked as a session musician. What artists did he play for?

Michael left the music scene after a short one night practice session with Neil Diamond and band. He was recruited after Arthur fired the Love band. Michael said that Neil was so unprofessional and such an egotistical ass that he walked away from the gig and the very good money after one session. After a few months of moving around, sitting in with various artists, and getting even further into the drug scene, Michael did what he had to: he left the LA music scene forever...away from any music scene for that matter. It saved life. He has been married to the same fine lady since, has a talented guitarist son (they jam), and lives in Nevada. Living the life of a retired and content man, doing small handyman repairs & improvements to his classic Spanish style stucco home.

He said he could easily jam with musician friends, after hours on the Vegas strip, but that would mean jamming after 2AM till dawn and that is not what a guy his age considers "the good life".

Read my thread about the off-key horns ending to You Set The Scene for some more insightful and honest words from my good friend, Michael Stuart-Ware.

What about Snoopy or Tjay?

What about Snoopy or Tjay?

Nothing on Tjay. He may have gone back to the jazz scene where he was most comfortable.

Snoop builds eco friendly unique houses in the woods of northern California or Oregon or somewhere on the West Coast, I believe, and has recorded a rather weird album of pretty individual music. He still seems rather bitter about his time with Love and getting fired off the drums. But I hope he is cool with Love nowadays.

From his lone album:

Watch the cool video of Love after the interview, on the Dick Clark Show... Snoop on drum(s).
