It was "Dire Straits" No?

Tully Mars · 10-08-2009, 06:09 AM

It was Dire Straits, yes. Too obvious?

Yer up.

Tophat665 · 10-08-2009, 07:09 AM

Sneaky obvious. If I didn't have all their early albums in order, I might have gone with "Love Over Gold"

So, Dire Straits means really good Guitar work to me, which leads to:

On What David Bowie Album did Stevie Ray Vaughn provide the Lead Guitar tracks?

mixedmedia · 10-08-2009, 08:50 AM

interesting...would that be Let's Dance??

Tophat665 · 10-08-2009, 09:24 AM

Put on your red shoes and dance the blues......

Indeed it would. You're up, mm.

Tully Mars · 10-15-2009, 09:01 AM

/smacks MM up side the head

Yo wake up!

mixedmedia · 10-15-2009, 09:24 AM

hey, yo, what already!

uhhhh, ok...what 50's/early '60s R&B singer started his own record label featuring great (but nearly forgotten) classic soul artists such as Johnny Morrisette, Billy Preston, The Simms Twins and The Valentinos? Extra credit (which, of course, means nothing) if you can tell me the name of the record label.

Tully Mars · 10-16-2009, 08:20 AM

I have no clue, never heard of half these people.

But bump. maybe someone else will know it.

mixedmedia · 10-21-2009, 05:19 AM

No one even wants to venture a guess?

I'll give a hint that will probably give it away...he died tragically (and too young) in 1964.

Tully Mars · 10-21-2009, 05:38 AM

No help here, the first though I had was quickly killed when I remembered that happened in 59'.

mixedmedia · 10-21-2009, 05:46 AM

ok, one of his most famous songs experienced a revival of sorts in late 2008...

Leto · 10-21-2009, 05:53 AM

ah crap. I was drawing a blank so I googled r&b artists who died in '64. You guys are going to kick yourselves.

Tully Mars · 10-21-2009, 05:58 AM

Sam Cooke?

Leto · 10-21-2009, 06:00 AM

lol.....

Tully Mars · 10-24-2009, 04:50 AM

Well MM?

mixedmedia · 10-24-2009, 04:54 AM

oh, doh! I'm so sorry. I'm not sure why I keep missing this thread's updates.

But yes, Tully, you are correct!

And Sam Cooke's record label was SAR Records.

Tully Mars · 10-24-2009, 05:05 AM

Never knew he had a label.

Ok, Bruce Springsteen's nickname is "The Boss" what's origins?

Bonus points if you know his previous nickname.

perripken · 10-26-2009, 07:12 PM

I am a huge Springsteen fan, but had to google this so I'm out. I will be interested to see the answer since when I googled it, I got quite a few.Thanks for this question Tully Mars!

Tophat665 · 10-26-2009, 10:29 PM

Have anything to do with the 1979 Diana Ross hit of that name?

Tully Mars · 10-27-2009, 06:46 AM

No, I heard his answer to this question on an interview I watching when I was making up the question.

It's about as simply as it sounds.

Tophat665 · 10-27-2009, 10:55 AM

So Bruce says to Clarence Clemons, "Big man, play it a little more....[whatever]", and Clarence says, "OK, you're the Boss."

Something like that?

Tully Mars · 10-27-2009, 01:18 PM

No, maybe this is too obscure. So.... according to the interview I saw Bruce said early on his nickname was "Doc." He didn't explain why but went on to say that one of his first paying gigs he was hired my a band call "Earth." He didn't much care for the music they played or the other members, but it paid. He said back in the early days making sure the club owners paid the band wasn't always pleasant nor successful. The band regulated this task to Bruce starting on his first day. He always made sure they got paid and he split the cash up with the other band members. Within a few gigs another band member stated, to him "You're the boss! Hey everyone the new kids the boss!" And it stuck. He said he didn't care much for bosses and preferred Doc.

Give me a few and I'll come up with another Q.

Tully Mars · 10-28-2009, 03:38 PM

Okay, sorry been powerless, literally for a while...

The Pointer Sisters hit number two on the US charts in 1979 with what Springsteen song?

Tophat665 · 10-29-2009, 08:56 AM

I have been trying for years to erase the existence of the Pointer Sisters from my memory. With some success, even though I saw them live once. That said, I'm thinking the answer to this is "Fire". And my FSM have mercy upon me if that's right.

Tully Mars · 10-29-2009, 09:09 AM

You're on fire and you're up.

Ummm, sorry?

Tophat665 · 10-29-2009, 09:42 AM

Drat. Got it right. Obviously I am not drinking enough.

After fronting Iron Maiden for some years, Bruce Dickinson took time off to produce a solo album that was released in 1990.

Name it.

perripken · 11-03-2009, 06:46 AM

Man....I never bought this album even though I liked Iron Maiden. Couldn't tell ya without cheating!

Tophat665 · 11-03-2009, 07:28 AM

Hmm. Hint: There is a cover of the Mott the Hoople Cover of the David Bowie Tune, "All the Young Dudes" on there. Apparently Bruce wants to relate to you.
