[Mr Dark]

I'm surprised that the Rush question has yet to be answered.The drummer is the mighty Neil Peart.

 

[carcharias]

I don't know who else does this, but I usually use music taste to assess peoples merits. So in an extension of that I decided to ask a bunch of questions (some are admittedly pretty obscure) to decide your collective worth as human beings. Nah, not really, I would like to see if there are any other music nerds here though.

Wow talk about getting carried away and self indulgent... I tried to make the latter questions easier.

Realistically, if anyone answers any of these questions they should join me in this thread being a douchebag and talking about music in a cliquey way.

I took this pic In Vietnam .
The Monk on fire on the front of the RATM album cover drove this car to the spot where he set himself on fire.

It is funny what they keep on display for tourists...the war museum is a cracker for gory pics.

 

[Ron Jeremy]

Doesn't look much different from your car?

btw i honestly could only get 4 of those questions right, pretty hard, but as i'm pretty one eyed in music types and dont pay much interest to anything outside my genre i can understand.

 

[keeney]

Yeah I used to be like that too, but music is so boring when everything you listen to sounds the same. Different music for different moods. I'm getting more exclusive in my ripe old age of 20, listen to mostly metal, prog and other similar sub genres now.

Hillel Slovak



John McLaughlin. He's a freak too, I might add :crazy:




I'm still wondering about this one... anyone?

Frank Zappa's favourite Hard Rock song of all time was initially Iron Man, but then became Supernaut, both by Sabbath.

I always expected something more self indulgent.

 

[OVP]

Which song, by Jimi Hendrix, did it only take 8 minutes to write ? Besides the fact that Jimi played his guitar upside down (he was left handed, but played right handed in sound . one of the most unique performers of all time. Ive never heard of any other guitarist playing upside down ... have you ?)

when Eric Clapton first met Jimi, he told the world right then, he wouldnt have as much talent in a thousand years to compete with this scrawny black blues guitarist. Clapton quit that night, but Jimi goes on forever !!

 

[keeney]

Buddy Guy, Zappa, Mclaughlin > Hendrix

Not to take away from Hendrix at all.

 

[Mr. Fahrenheit]

[OVP]

Mclaughlin > Hendrix

Craig McLaughlin ? The White Hendrix ? LOLOLOLOL imagine the ego

 

[keeney]

John McLaughlin, the dude who introduced jazz composition to Rock Guitar, tritones etc.

 

[keeney]

Which is the only band to have 3 of the top 100 guitarists of all time as decided by Rolling Stone in it?

They Yardbirds? (Clapton, Page and one other)

The other you're thinking of is Jeff Beck.

I phrased this question poorly. Those three were all in it, but all three were never in the Yardbirds at the same time, and it wasn't for the Yardbirds that they made the list.

I was referring to The Allman Bros. Band, but yeah.
