Last year I put on a UK Subs gig at a bikers club run by the drummer out of Showaddywaddy, Malcolm Allured, who wasn’t too enamoured with punk music. I was sort of looking forward to a battle between the two, but alas Allured was way on other business that night so his son was in charge. Maybe Charlie and Allured would have got along fine, with the latter joining the Subs on stage for a few numbers? It got me thinking about unlikely rock collaborations or on the other hand what happens when rock worlds collide, what type of mutant bands could be formed – imagine Brotherhood of Man mixed with Metallica or Rene and Renato joining PIL for versions of the Flowers of Romance or This Is Not a Love Song? You can spend hours in this scary world. Can anyone else come up with Frankenstein music monsters or has anyone any stories of real unlikely music collaborations?

Lawrence - I think you'll find that the drummer from Showaddywaddy was Romeo Challenger;
Please note - He isn't Dion Dublin's dad either!

P.S. I should point out that although I know Malcolm did drum with Showaddywaddy, I couldn't resist the opportunity to mention the name Romeo Challenger.

Well it sort of happened already with the Showaddywaddy drummer theme, the band Crazyhead's drummer was the son of one of Showaddywaddy ( maybe the drummer ) and he used to wear a drape on stage as a tribute.
