I was actually driving to a show and heard a radio interview with TFF, and they said one was singing LDOM in an elevator in their dorm, and the other invited him to hang and jam. The rest was history… |

Apparently the LDOM meeting actually happened at a student party.They didn't know each other at this point. One was playing LDOM & the other joined in which resulted in the inevitable "lets start a band" moment.  A then friend of mine who was at at Bristol Uni at the time claimed he was at the party. |

Thought it was in a music room the guy was playing LDOM and singing to it. maybe the elevator WAS the music room... Or maybe they were elevated at a party in a music room. I may be confusing it with the Sting meeting, who knows. I do know, though, that their meeting involved one of them singing LDOM and the other being impressed by that. |

Last time this question surfaced, I made a point to seek out the sources, just out of interest, and here's what was said in an interview with Roland and Curt:
CS: They came to my flat one time and heard me singing along to a Blue Öyster Cult record, of all things, and Roland asked if I wanted to sing for their band.
RO: He was playing Blue Öyster Cult’s 'Then Came The Last Days Of May', and we were thinking, "Oh yeah, maybe [we've got] a lead singer here." So we were the classic Led Zeppelin format!
They didn't say it wasn't at a "party", so maybe it was...

I'm also pretty sure that they appeared on a Saturday Morning UK kids show (possibly Swapshop) & told the LDOM party story. At the mention of BOC they got slightly giddy & one of them said "name dropper" to the other. |

Roland Orzibal is an underrated guitar player. He's good! Tears For Fears' Everybody Loves A Happy Ending is one of my fav albums of all time. His playing is always so perfect for the song, a difficult art to master. Every TTF song is a master class in instrumentation and composition. |
