Ask Joe Walsh or maybe Ronnie wood before 1995 if they were members of their bands

[@jaynesager3049]

If Moraz was given a paycheck according to contract, then that is what it boiled down to.

[@1967kellysnotdumb]

the moody blues r big business; and will always b until they all leave this mortal coil no matter which member is in control. Mr moraz was the moody's biggest mistake.

[@alanunseld4942]

i saw publicity shots with moraz in them hard to say without details

[@2Uahoj]

Yeah, it's hard to judge this without knowing all the details. But on the surface it appears that Moraz WAS indeed in the band - and for more than 10 years - with his picture on the album covers and all. So to claim that he was not a full member, and merely a hired backup musician, seems kind of ridiculous.

well he shouldve taken the 400 thous offered... instead he got 77 thous

[@2Uahoj]

@@031767sc Yes, in hindsight. But who knew how the case would turn out?

[@bobbybishop368]

He was also in some of their music videos.

[@debbie4503]

He was treated like what he was. A Session Player.

[@2Uahoj]

@@debbie4503 So, why did they have his image on photo after photo with the band, including album covers?

[@neil1390]

Moraz should have hired a much better lawyer,in hindsight,he would probably agree!

[@user-un9go4qe5i]

I don't think Patrick Moraz had a very good lawyer.

[@yesman2755]

He definitely gave the individual band members an easy ride.

[@jdekong3945]

An Uber fan of the band who did not like his client 😹

[@andrewarthurmatthews6685]

No but I personally don’t feel Moraz had a case at all due to no documentation. Why would this very savvy band and their management not have reached an agreement with Moraz and his legal team. There wasn’t any !

[@retrosonghits]

Have loved the Moody Blues since 1971/72, ages 10/11. I really gotta say this lawyer grilling the band has such a pompous, rude attitude! I grew up with Ray, Justin, John, Mike and Graeme not Moraz. He was and never was to me ever a Moody Blue. He was more like a session player but never a member!

[@shingabiss]

Hostile and assine questions! Sounds like an amateur!
