He's just a bitter old man, and certainly not as friendly and down to earth as he wants us all to believe.
When I published my first book two years ago, I wrote to several '60s legends, politely requesting that they contribute a joint foreword, and offering them an advance PDF of the manuscript. Peter Noone, Mike Pender, Brian Poole, Tony Crane, Steve Ellis and Billie Davis all contributed some wonderful words and memories (as did Pan's People legend Dee Dee Wilde for my 2nd book), while Helen Shapiro, Dick Taylor and Peter Asher's representative all declined but wished me luck (Mike Berry and Chris Andrews also expressed interest but unfortunately replied too late)... I also contacted Terry Sylvester via his website: he never even replied.

I unfollowed Tweeting Tel a year or so back, but occasionally look in on what guff he's been writing via his website. A pathetic old man. I really try to disconnect his wonderful contributions to the band and the individual he is today. What a waste.
Marvelling at the utterly illiterate guy who is trying incredibly hard to get Terry to remember him from his schooldays - to no avail whatsoever.

So he blocked you?... what did you do?... I liked the "wrong" tweets by someone else he ended up blocking. *whistles* EDIT: Although I still wonder whether I'm the "bozo" who's a fan of "the druggies" he was referring to when I tweeted about his badly worded tweet regarding going to Disneyworld "asap" and started singing "Riding along in a carousel, trying to get Covid-19"... And then I tweeted something about alcohol being a drug too... *shrug* ....yep, that would be me!!πFed up with his spitting venom in Allan's direction in particular. Whatever happened was years ago now, and I ( politely,and civily) ( is that a word... doesn't look rightπ
) pointed out that it's such a shame,that after all his brilliant contribution to the Hollies, the legacy he is leaving, and the thing he'll be remembered for is all this bitterness and nastiness.....?!?! He didn't like it..... I've deleted all my tweets to him,and I unfollowed him.....done with my ex hearthrob now....ππ
π Canuckywoman is right, he needs help, and it's all very sad....but still unacceptable ....π₯πππ( as he would sayπ)

...oh, and I initially replied to his rant about Clarke etc being " drug addicts,FACT" Told him it was in danger of being libelous, to which he replied " his lawyers were licking their lips, and dared them"...... π€π€π€

Ho hum... sounds like business as usual with Terry.
Yes, heavy drinkers will always get shirty if it's pointed out that alcohol is a drug.

That Escorts clip is cool. Terry's movements (and even looks a little) there kinda remind me of Tony a bit, even though he's playing rhythm, not lead guitar!
While I did say that I wouldn't mind this thread being locked or deleted a few months ago, it seems Terry will never get over this grudge of his and stop throwing the same jabs at Allan, Graham and/or the present Hollies. And so this thread goes on... π Do you ever think a moment of lucidity crosses his mind before he tweets these?

"totally brain dead" "ugly drug addict" "A complete bozo" Another swipe at Elton along with his insistence on slandering Allan as a "drug addict"
Just another month in the life of a lonely, bitter, ignorant drug addict... oops, no sorry, p***head.

All I can say is Crosby the ugly whatever put on an outstanding show in Manchester a couple of years back...maybe Terry needs some of what he's on and to ditch the drinks cabinet in the swimming pool at his retirement complex!

James thanks for turning me on to the old friend trying to reconnect.
Terry's not biting on the offer of a Skype call!

At least Allan's fans don't look like Twitter bots. Doubt Terry can tell the difference though.

I'm not and never have been a David Crosby fan but for many years, I've been reading plenty of positive reviews about his live shows and when one considers what he's been through, it's astonishing he's still able to sing to a high quality. Terry? Ambles on looking ridiculous, plays 2 or 3 songs bottom of the bill to a host of acts many of which have less "original" members than The Hollies and he's not exactly sounding wonderful either.

The Dude and I saw Croz and Nash at the Paradiso in Amsterdam in 2005. It was fantastic. And probably the closest I'll get to a (former) Hollie performing anything so...

If anyone is into podcasts or on Spotify (it's free to register), you might get a giggle out of this. Terry is now "podcast famous" and not in a good way! Higher Fidelity is run by a group of Irish musicians who love the Hollies as we do (although a tad harsh on Willy, imo) and happened upon his Twitter account, coming to the same conclusions as we did. Episode synopsis: They do ramble and bounce around topics, so you can fast forward to the relevant bits (not just about Terry - also high praise for Allan and Bobby) at 14:00, 47:00, then enjoy a crackin' cover of "Curly Billy" at 53:00. (Thanks to Sandy, as always for the head's up!) open.spotify.com/episode/7Eqx6wM8nqGkmK5ATlyzC4

Back swiping at Crosby again I see... π Ah, that's who the target is...Was discussing it with Sandy earlier, but we both can see only one side of the conversation, so...Looks like Stevie's about to be banned!

Got to admit Steven was just begging to get banned, and now he is. But Terry's behaviour invites only two types of followers: ass-kissing sycophants or, abusive haters giving him the gears.
The vast majority of Hollies fans fall into neither camp. We enjoy and appreciate Terry's work, both within The Hollies and without. We are fans but not fanatics, and reserve the right to criticize when he falls short of expectations. But critical opinion is not tolerated there. And therefore, serious Hollies fans are largely absent from his site.
Hate to admit it, but the only reason I look in now and again, is to gape at the head-shaking stupidity and ignorance on display! Shocking the garbage being thrown around. It's kind of like witnessing a car crash: you know you should look away, but you can't help yourself! You want to see what happens next! And then afterwards, you ask yourself? Why do I follow such rubbish?

He says he never drinks before a show.
So, what's the situation as he plays no shows? Hmmm...
He seems obsessed by looks, overly so for a man and an old one at that.

Ah... Terry. As parodied by a fellow better known writer from Liverpool... ahem...
I read the tweets today oh boy About an angry man who fell from grace And though the tweets are rather sad Well I just had to laugh I saw the photograph He blew his mind out in a bar He didnβt notice that the times had changed A crowd of people cringed and glared Theyβd seen his face before Nobody is really sure if he is in the hall of fame
I saw a film today oh boy An english group had just won some awards This drunken lout was turned away But we just had to look Having heard he sucks Itβs Clarke and Nashβs faulllttt...
