Well, another guess, but you have stumped the panel so the next question is yours again. I'm gonna try one more....
The Yardbirds

Alright. The mystery act is Roy Harper. There's a link to the bootleg here if anyone's interested: http://www.zetosa.com.pl/piotrus/boots/rh.htm

I'll think up an easier one now...

How about what late 80's "supergroup" put out two albums that contained songs like: "Heading For The Light" and "Poor House" amoung many others.

bonus if you can name all 5 members.

was it the traveling wilburys???

i know 2 of the members were bob dylan and roy orbison

bob dylan
roy orbison
tom petty
george harrison
jeff lynn

looks like high_way buzzed in first with the right answer. so you're up with a new question.

and rideough, those are all 5 members. nice work. It seems everyone usually forgets about jeff.

OK my Question....

Led Zeppelin performed under 2 other names....

What were they???

oh shit, I know this, but my brain refuses to release the information. stupid brain.

if im right they performed as the new yardbirds because jimmy page was left with a few shows left to play and he got john, robert and john to play with him before they changed their name to led zeppelin.

also, do i get to ask a question?

The question asked states to state the 2 names, high_way. I knew about the Yardbirds too, but didn't know the second name...

The New Yardbirds and Band of Joy (Bonham's pre-Zep band) ?? I'm at a total loss and I want to know... :)

Could be The Honeydrippers with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page too...

yeah i know, i was just refering to me gettin the answer correct about the traveling walburys is all... its all good.

sorry i didnt read the led zeppelin question properly

here's a hint....

In '73 they were forced to use another name for a few gigs in Scandanavia as the Von Zeppelin family was unhappy with the use of their name.

Actually, highway should have been the next one to ask a question, but it looks like he's ok with rideough asking.
Highway you are a good sport!
Sidenote: Does anyone know what Jeff Lynn is up to these days?
I always thought he was such a talent with ELO. Last I knew he was producing. Think I'll have to search.....

Ahhhh, I know this. I just read it the other day. I think it was some "The" name.

Is it The Nobs or Nebs? Something like that I think.

If this isn't the answer, I think its time to move on with another question by high_way this time.

agreed. i ment to suggest that in my last post.

ok here is one (if no body minds and no one has answered the zeppelin question)

anyway here it goes

who was the original drummer for 28 days?
he played on upstyledown and some of steeling chairs before he died

ps thanks perripken, didnt really phase me that much. just think its cool to ask a question sometimes.

What was the answer to the Zepp question, BTW?


Scott Murray, may he rest in peace.
Awaiting confirmation on my answer.

The post times between high_way and I are kinda interesting... :) You know, between the question and my answer... dunno

yeah tritium you are right. when i brought the stealing chairs cd a bonus dvd came with it and it had a tribute to scotty... was fucken great.

at least they went on and still rock

Sorry i was aout for 2 days...but the answer was The Nobs and The New Yardbirds...
sorry for the delay!

For added flavor, I'm going in a new direction.

This guitarist's day job was for the Virginia Electric Power Company. Then just prior to his climb to success, joined Emmylou Harris and her band known as "Hot Band".

I don't know what he did during the day, but I know that Albert Lee was a guitar player for Hot Band for a while.

The answer is Ricky Skaggs. Good attempt though. It was kind of a hard question.

Perripken, I'll give it to you. :) Your question ... I feel like taking a break from the TFP for a couple of days. That Baltimore Orioles guy got me really cheesed off.

Hey tritium, don't let it get to you. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to play with keyboards! Anyways.... here goes...
In 1983 Styx was forced to cancel their tour. Why?

If I recall properly, it was one of two things. Let me take my first guess, and if that doesn't work, I have another.

One of the Panazzo brothers (Chuck, I think) died, leaving their rhythm section, shall we say, a bit light.

No,sorry Tophat, John died from a gastrointestinal hemmorage in 1996 which was a result of severe alcholism, and was replaced by Todd Sucherman. Chuck, his twin brother, is currently fighting aids and only makes occasional guest appearances.

OK, off by one brother and a couple of years. OK, my other guess is that Dennis DeYoung got very ill: something about light sensitivity, IIRC.

Nope, you're correct about Dennis'es illness, but that came much later. As a matter of fact, that's why he is no longer with the band and Lawrence Gowan has taken his place.

I thought it was because Tommy Shaw left the band?? That was right around the time of "Kilroy Was Here" and he hated it.

Actually most people did. Especially Rush fans. We liked the whole storyline the first time, when it was called "2112".

You're correct about that being the year of Kilroy, but it was because Tommy broke his wrist. He actually didn't leave until after the Paradise Theatre album. I guess I stumped the panel, however, I would like someone else to ask a new question.
Ask away!

Can someone ask a question that someone under the age of 40 could answer? This has been like 28 questions in a row about bands from the 70's!

Go for it Derwood! I believe I said for someone else to ask, so quit yer bitchin and ask a question for people under 40.

These young people today, don't know anything about good music. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I'm back and I hear that. I can't stand the stuff on the radio anymore...

New Wave and Synthpop forever! lol. :)

Born: May 2, 1981 ... can ya tell?

Try this question one out:

The bass track and beat pattern for Will Smith's "Fresh Prince of Bel Aire" was taken from another of Will's early hits. Can you name which one?

Parents Just Don't Understand?

Dude, I was in middle school then. I turned 12 the day before you were born.

Thanks for making me feel much older now.

Bah... You're not old. Still under 40 and I dont consider 40 old either. It's becoming clear to me know that I've got to start thinking of these ages as young, cause I'm gonna be there faster than I'd like.

by the way, I turned 5, 4 days before you turned 12 and 5 days before tritium was born.

As for the question, I believe that tophat is right is he not? A sad thing to note for me is that I used to know every word to both of those songs. :o

Well I must be the old man of the board... I turned 20 in June that year!
