That is indeed a fine Ride/photography fact. As somebody with an unabashed penchant for Erasure I'm hoping we are thinking of different Andy Bells though. Admittedly I would be more than surprised to see the gold lamee hotpanted one connected to either Oasis or The Sun...
Yeah, different Andy Bell. He left Ride, as a guitarist, and joined Oasis as bassist. All while writing a right wing column for the Sun.
I was always in love with Mark Gardner of Ride. Until (and you can probably still YouTube this) hard up for money he went on a solo tour of the world playing acoustic Ride songs. Dreadful (and this guy was my hero) does not begin to describe it. And then Ride fucking reformed. Not a big fan of reformations.
Final trivial Ride fact. They gave great, legendary parties in Oxford while selling records. Gave loads of drugs away. Probably why everyone except the Oasis-bound Bell ended up skint.
Gotta love bands who altruistically supply drugs. Deee-Lite practically started the rave scene in America by doing the same thing.
