Ok, I'm sticking with Dire Straits for this question:
In the early 90's after the group broke up, what famous guitar player asked Mark Knofler to collaborate with him on an album that they called "Neck and Neck"?

I'm not sure, I never listened to it. Was just aware of it. It kinda fell into my changing over to CD's from vinyl. Just a reminder... there is a question on the board and it's almost 24 hours. I know the answers, but I'd like to see someone else answer it.

On the chance that I'm correct. Here's my question.

Identify this singer from his brief bio:
"Born June 1st of 1953, in Coleman, Texas, he briefly studied theology at Abilene Christian College in Texas before moving to Tulsa, Oklahoma. There, he fronted the house band at a popular nightspot called Duke's Country and, later, broke into the national spotlight by winning a talent contest sponsored by Marlboro."

I will agree with Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions, but I don't know about the Warlocks.... Do we have any Dead afficianato's to confirm that?

Wow. It took a long time to find this on the net. http://www.accessplace.com/gdtc/1174.htm

That's Jerry, Bob, Pigpen, and Bill (everyone minus Phil Lesh).

Here's the "GD" lineup.

Well, I know Garth Brooks got his start in Oklahoma, but was born way after 53, so he's out.

I don't think it was Johhny Cash,

I'll guess Merle Haggard

Nope, not Merle. Merle is the Okie from Muscogee, yes.

OK we need a question here!!

Rideough answered correctly, but then passed of to tritium, but neither have asked.

I declare it open.


First person with a question gets to ask. Normal rules apply after that.

A band's drummer is the new drummer for the band whose OLD drummer was Jeremiah Green.

Name the band, the drummer, and his new band.

Ok... it's almost been 48 hours, so I'm going to keep this thing moving. I would like to know the answer to KWSN's question, though.
Question: What fairly succesful band was Peter Frampton co-founder of before he went solo in 1971?

OK, what leader of an 80's band now is known for scoring kids shows such Rugrats and Pee-Wee's Playhouse and what band was he in?

Answer to mine:

Jeremiah Green left Modest Mouse, whose new drummer is the drummer from the Helio Sequence, Benjamin Weikel.

Allright, come on now people!!!

Let's not let what is happening in other parts of this board bring this thread down.

Since no one will step up and ask a question, I will give it another shot. And because of that, I will make it another KISS question.

A collective nooooooooooooooooooooo!! is heard all throughout the land and a devilishly evil laugh is heard from The God of Thunder "mua ha ha ha ha ha!!

Actually, it's all I could come up with.



OK, the question. It has potential to be a stumper, but, serves you right.

Current KISS guitarist Tommy Thayer was once lead singer of what Gene Simmons produced LA band?

Sorry GOT, I had to peek! Never heard of the band he came from.
I echo your feelings about this thread.... seems there's been a lack of interest lately. I have a hunch that it has something to do with the titty board being back in full swing. I feel though, that you and I have kept one of the most succesful threads going.
18 pages and counting! Thanks for your help!

Not a problem, dude. I'm somewhat amazed myself we've been able to keep it going so long.


and btw, I stumped ya again

They're not a well known band, except to KISS fans. They opend up for them during the mid-eighties. Tommy however has been associated with the band ever since. He actually served as art-director for the box set and on the production team during the un-plugged show.

Been travelling a lot lately. I'll be back in the swing of things as soon as my schedule settles down. Was even having trouble with getting the Free Tracks done -- took on some help with those to make sure they get taken care of.

No idea on that question, G.O.T.

As Perripken already said, yes it is.

I saw them open for KISS in 1988 and they blew me away, too bad they never made a name for themselves.

Well, once again we have a situation where someone has answered a question and the clock is ticking. In four hours the answer will have been on the floor for 24 hours. At that time the floor will be open to a new question.
PEOPLE..... please! If you are going to make an attempt to answer a question, please check back and see if your answer was correct so that you can ask a new one. This is the exact reason that I imposed the 24 hour rule. I know people are busy, however, we have to keep this thing moving along!
