Y&T Frontman: PHIL KENNEMORE 'Was The Consummate Rock Star'
January 28, 2011Y&T frontman Dave Meniketti and the band's former drummer, Leonard Haze, recently spoke to the Contra Costa Times about Y&T bassist Phil Kennemore, who passed away on January 7 after a battle with lung cancer.
"He was the consummate rock star," said Meniketti. "You hear questions from people, asking if the stories about bands on the road are true. 'Did you really do that?' Yeah, Phil did it all and he loved it all. He was right there, ready to play. You always knew the boy was going to show up for you."
"Phil — we all — appreciated the fact that, no matter how bad a show was, it was never as bad as some guy, unemployed, banging his head against the wall," said Haze. "As long as (Phil) had food on the table, Y&T was never about money. It was about having a good time."
