this pains me.
i can see the cover of that record.

but i always hated dan fogelberg's music, every last second of it, and so i guess i feared the possibility that the record could at some potential moment be taken out of the dust jacket and, worse, far far worse, played, with the result that i have repressed the title. perhaps dan fogelberg is a Persecuting Other. so that means that there is some paranoid relationship between myself and his photograph on record covers. if this was really done with, i wouldn't be able to recognise the cause of my repression as a former paranoid relation to the photograph of dan fogelberg on a record cover because that relation would have become indifferent to me and so its meanings would have dropped away and so i wouldnt be able to use anything about my former paranoid relation to photographs of dan fogelberg on record covers to connect anything to anything else so that means that i must still be beholden to the paranoid circuit i once constructed around the photograph on record covers of dan fogelberg.

that means it can still hurt me.

now if the pattern holds, this should result in an extended period of repetitive activity.
if i post this 6 times, assume things have taken a dive.

I was wondering what to get you for Christmas. :D

Man Roachboy... I'm sorry you hated Fogelberg. You're missing out on some seriously great music! Anyways, due to the lack of answers, maybe I'm the only Fogelberg fan in here which makes me sad! I would've thought that maybe God of Thunder or Pan... would have chimed in on this one. The answer is: Twin sons of different mothers! And with that, my tail is between my legs and I will hand the forum over to someone else!

It's been a week. What happened. I'll get it going again. Who did the infamous guitar Jimi Hendrix burned on stage belong to?

I'll take a wild guess just to get this thing going again:
Jimmy Page?

wait--which hendrix performance are you referring to?
on film? monterrey? woodstock?
didnt he burn alot of guitars?
anyway.

i'd guess that the guitar belonged to pete townsend at monterrey...no idea about woodstock.

Sorry I didn't specify I was speaking of the monterey one. And yes It was Pete's.

huh...well, in that case, who directed monterey pop?

bonus:
which performers made their american debuts at that festival?

Well... I guess this is a stumper Roachboy, give us the answer and a new question, or pass to a new player.
Thanks

It is not a stumper, I just haven't been paying attention.

Monterey was directed by Lou Adler and John Phillips, and it launched the American career of The Who (who were already established in the UK) and Jimi Hendrix (same).

For a new question, what was the inspiration of the Pearl Jam song Jeremy?

i forgot about this too.

d.a. pennebaker directed the film. i think adler and philips produced it, but pennebaker was definitely the director.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0064689/
it was the us big-time debut for janis joplin and jimi hendrix. and the who. and ravi shankar, for that matter.

anyway, i'm about to fade out for a bit, so back to martian's question

I can only assume through lyrics that it is based on a story about a boy (named Jeremy?) who brought a gun to class and shot himself.

Aha, my mistake. I thought you meant the festival itself, rather than the film based on it.

Can you be more specific?

Not without taking it to google/wikipedia.

Eh. Whatever, then.

Jeremy is based on the true story of a young man from Texas (15, IIRC) unsurprisingly named Jeremy. As is depicted both through the song's lyrics and in the video, Jeremy decided to bring a gun into class one day. He was asked by his teacher to get a late slip from the office, but instead went and got a handgun, which he used to shoot himself in the mouth in front of the class.

Vedder read the story in the newspaper, and has said what really struck him was that this kid had used the gun to try to make a statement, but he ultimately ended up getting a single paragraph. Vedder stated that the better revenge was to live on and be stronger than whatever was causing you to think that way.

So it's sort of anti-suicide. Anyway, your question.

Here's an easy one.

What is unique about the string instrument setup of the band the Presidents of the United States of America?

That is and easy one.

I don't remember who plays what, but rather than the traditional arrangement of one guitar and one bass, the Presidents have one guitbass and one basitar. I'm not sure if I spelt those right. Anyway, they're guitars with the first x strings replaced with bass strings.

Chris Ballew plays the basitar and Andrew McKeag plays the guitbass. The basitar only has the A and D strings, while the guitbass only has the A, D and G strings.

I guess back to you Martian.

Okay.

How did the Guess Who get their name?

I think that's an easy one. Wasn't it a marketing ploy by their label? I don't think that it was their original name. One of my fav tunes by them is "These Eyes"...

It was not their original name.
(I just read through this whole thread and saw their original name somewhere on or around post 222).

Leto is right. I remember hearing this on "The Deep End". It was something about not putting the band's name on the record and putting "guess who?" instead to drum up interest.

Yeah, that's more or less how it went.

Okay here is Post 222:

This band, originally called Chad Allen and The Reflections, was the first Canadian band to have a number 1 hit in the US. They later had it's members break off to form a new band called Brave Belt, until that band also changed it's name.

What were the final (and well known) names of those 2 bands?

(this was Guess Who? & BTO)

Next Question:

What is the band and it's tune on the credits for Guitar Hero III?

Damn, now I have to get Guitar Hero to try figure out the answer to this.

This one seems dead, should we move on?

go ahead. By the way, it is Dragonfire's Through the Fire and the Flames.



Sticky - maybe you have a decent Q.

Correction: Dragonforce. I actually have a Dragonforce shirt on right now. Inhuman Rampage! Ha.

ya, my bad (and bad typing!) thanks!

Leto, I think you still have the right of way.

okay Sticky, I thought you would throw one up. Let me think...

alright, What was Eric Clapton's only #1 song and who wrote it?

I shot the sheriff and I think Marley wrote it.

Commander Coo-Coo Bananas knows his music.

Hmm, heres one. tough for most.

Moby claims to have briefly sang for which punk band as a youth.

I'm sure the songs right, but will wait for Stick to confirm the author.

Per the OP rules:

Answer the question correctly, you get to ask the next question. Wait for the asker to confirm that you are correct.

And you can't simply Google the answer, have to know it.

I've been waiting for a while for one that I didn't have to Google.

You got it Tully Mars. It's your game.

Thanks, got confussed and thought Stick asked the Q.

Anyway, this is likely an easy one:

What did the 60's rock band known as "Fat White Under Belly" become?

I guess this is not that easy.

Yeah, Tully. You're going to have learn us all about the 'fat white underbelly' and then post another question. :p

Ok, really thought this was easy. They still play small clubs in NYC under this name. Usually with little or no announcement.

Their fans have been told they should not fear death, well at least the person who brings it. Not sure if their fans would like the movie "Cloverfield" because I haven't the monster yet. But I'm sure he has to go too.

lol, okay

Blue Oyster Cult?
