Yeah that may be right, but I was looking more along the lines of David Bryson from Counting Crows.

gotcha. didn't know that

reposting my question on this page so no one has to go back a page to see it:

Someone already guessed Thelonius Monk, and that's not it.

There are two questions on the board, however, Booray's question is the valid one, Sorry Samspear.

Is it Bill Evans?

if this is indeed correct-

what is the title of Johnny Cash's autobiography?

you got it

I know I've heard the name before but can't remember it. For some reason, I'm thinking it might be

"I Walk the Line"

Wasn't it "Man in Black" ?

helloooooo quasi, Am I correct?

I'm going to assume I'm correct and go ahead and ask a new question since it's been over 24 hours since quasi asked and over 24 hrs since I answered.
This should be relatively easy for all you music trivia officianado's:
Who gave up his seat to Ritchie Valens on the ill fated plane on the "day the music died"?

Waylon Jennings

What is Paul McCartney's middle name?

This is a trick question, because his middle name is Paul.

Paul Paul McCartney you ask?

No, silly. His full name is James Paul McCartney.

Nice try.


Who replaced Joe Perry and Brad Whitford when they left the group for a short time in the 80's? Bonus points if you name the only album the replacements recorded with the group.

Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay
Bonus:
Rock in a hard place

Even being a huuuuuuuge Joe Perry fan, this album had one of my favorite Aerosmith tune's on it "When the lightning strikes"
I have to think of a new question BRB

Jimmy Crespo and Rick Dufay filled in on Rock in a Hard Place.

Sorry KWSN, beat you to the punch... You'll probably get this one though, I'll stay with Aerosmith trivia.
Who did Brad Whitford team up with when he left the band?

Ted Nugent's former guitarist, Derek St. Holmes

I've never actually got my hands on those recordings, but I imagine that was some pretty killer stuff.

I've said it before, I think in this thread somewhere, I think the biggest mistake Ted made was parting company with Derek.


By only two minutes...That's gotta hurt. :lol:

rhythm guitarist AND vocalist

Derek was awesome.

However i dont have a follow up question because im fucking tired as hell. Open season for whoever wants to ask one.

Can it be Australian? OK.....so be it.

Name the song Nick Cave wrote about a girlfriend of his in the late '80's. She also starred in an underground movie which starred the late Michael Hutchence of INXS around the same era.

From Her to Eternity???

If that's right, somebody else ask a question.

Nope...it's a girl's name.

OK...no answer in 48 hours so we'll just give you the answer and move on....

Deanna

Someone else can have a turn now....

Jump start!!!!

What was the name of the album the Allman Brother released after Duane's death? The one that was supposed to have a cryptic title as to how he died?

Well, Eat a Peach, although half of the songs were cuts recorded before Duane died, was the first one released after his death as far as I recall.

That's the one.

The urban legend has it that Duane was hit by a peach truck, so hence the name of the album. But, as urban legends go, that wasn't true.

Good album too, by the way.

i'll pass the next question asking rights along to whoever wants it

Along those lines, what other member of the Allman Bros was killed a year later and a block away from Duane?

Berry Oakley. Also a motorcycle wreck

In still keeping with the Allman Brothers theme, what famous actor (primarily known for his TV roles) cowrote with Dickey Betts "Blind Love" and "Can't Take it With You" off the Allman Brothers' Enlightened Rogues album and "Bougainvillea" off the Dickey Betts and Great Southern album as well as providing some backing vocals on Gregg Allman's I'm No Angel album?

That would be "Nash Bridges" himself, Don Johnson.

Ahhh, "I'm No Angel", my theme song...


Lets switch gears to the 80's. When The English Beat broke up, the members went their seperate ways to form what two bands?

i cannot describe the pain involved trying to get those badly bruised synapses to fire again. pretty sure they're toast...........

Not sure what kind of hints I can give except that one of the bands post English Beat was more popular than the other. Both, however got a bit of MTV airplay at the time.

It must drive you crazy not to be able to think of the answer jimk ;)

No one knows their early 80's new wave? For shame...

As much as a lot of people would like to forget it happened, it still is a key part of the music scene. Bands like Depeche Mode came out of that era.

Even though the 24-hour mark isn't up, I won't be around to check up.

So, here's a little history lesson. Dave Wakeling and Ranking Roger left The English Beat to form General Public, which fared OK, but not as well as hoped. The rest of the band found out about the split from news accounts and decided to form their own group, Fine Young Canibals. (hence the drive you crazy hint mentioned above). FYC went on to much bigger success in the US than General Public.

I throw out the next question to the general populus.




Admit it, you're surprised a KISS fanatic knows his 80's new wave. Blame my sister, that's all she listened to.

great info GOT! You never cease to amaze me.
I would take this opportunity to jump in with a question, but I will be in baltimore all weekend. Hopefully I will see the Oriole's spank the Spankee's, but I'm not holding my breath! :thumbsup:

Ok let's stay in the 80's but not new wave.

Two members of the legendary "Blues Brothers" were also one time members of another legedary group. What band did Steve Cropper and Donald "Duck" Dunn once play for?

For some reason, I'm thinking that it was Booker T & the MG's. Could've sworn I remember seeing that somewhere about a year ago.

just checked on allmusic.com to confirm i was right.

next question is up for anyone (even you GoT; you've got some good ones!). I can't think of anything

Yes it was Booker T & the MGs.

OK, does anyone know what the MG stands for?

no clue on that
