Oof, That was a total guess/"wouldn't it be funny if it were right" kind of thing.

OK, let's try this: The band called "Soft White Underbelly" went on to become what better know band?

(Edit: Sorry Kids, I have to be interested in the band to know the trivia, so it's either old or loud or both. I'm 34, but I'm more in the generation before mine than my own.)

Thanks! I figured with my argument in the "Greatest Band Ever" thread, it was about time.

Unfortunately, other than their albums, I know diddlysquat about the Zep, so somebody else is going to have to answer the Swan Song question.

I hate it when I know something, but not off the top of my head.

I've read Jimmy Page's book "Hammer of the Gods" and I think Swan Song was started about 1976, but I don't recall what it's original name was.

I'm in the same spot on this one. It was definitly started in or prior to 1976 though, I was just listening to Presence and I noticed it on there and Presence is from 76'.

God of Thunder

Well then I'm out.

I have quite a few of their albums on vinyl, but have never replaced them on CD. Some of their old tune's were way out there. I remember one called "She's as beautiful as a foot"
I saw them in concert with Heart, Cheap Trick, UFO, and Firefall in the Gator Bowl. They had a huge Godzilla behind the drummer that shot lazers out of it's eyes during Godzilla.
I have no idea on the Zep question either!

First off, sorry about missing the question. My cable's been iffy for a couple of days, and I just got Tritium's PM today.

Not that it matters, but I am almost 100% certain that rideough is right on SRV. His guitar work on Cat People makes that song.

OK...

Who played drums on the Beatles song"Back in the U.S.S.R. ?

It wasn't Ringo......

I think it was Paul. He took over when Ringo "quit" during those sessions.

yep

your question!

People make fun of Meg White's drumming but they all forget how much Ringo sucked.

Watch it with the Ringo sucks stuff in here. A lot of Beatle fans around this board.

This is a trivia thread not an opinion thread.


OK, heres another real name question.

He was born Vincent Damon Furnier, who do we know him as now?
