Now, I didn't know that. In all the stories about the replacement of Syd, they always talked about Gilmour coming in (as a matter of fact, they usually say they didn't intend to replace Syd at the beginning, but use Gilmour as help and back-up, and keep Syd for song writing). What I had read before was that Floyd had considered Jeff Beck as a possible replacement... and I even think I read some time that in an interview about it, Jeff Beck had hinted that if he had actually been asked he would have said yes. However, I can't imagine Floyd turning any better with anyone but Gilmour.

As did Bruce Gary (Jack Bruce Band member circa '75 with Carla Bley, Mick Taylor and Ronnie Leahy) How could such an irredeemably crap one hit wonder band feature two such brilliant drummers?    On that note, a friend (who likes The Knack) told me their guitarist was considered for...Triumvirat! Can anyone confirm or deny this?

The Knack guitarist Doug Fieger was a guitarist for Triumvirat for a brief period  in 1977, but got fed up with things in the band at that time, and departed. It was later on that he formed The Knack.
