Bachman Turner Overdrive? (If that's wrong I have another guess.)

Good job Tophat! The floor is yours! I will be out of town for a few days, so I won't be checking in as often.
Hey God of Thunder, congrats on the new addition!

Since it's the holiday's and people are out of town, I'm extending the time limit to post a new question to tophat for the end of monday Jan. 5. If nothing is posted by then, I'm extending an invitation to someone new to the forum to post a question.
Once again, congrats to GOT!

Thanks, I'll continue to check in on this thread to keep it moving along. I'll be off work for the next two weeks.

The only way I'll be able to participate in the near future is if the question has to do with sesame street or blues clues or something like that.

Baby One More Time, and Read to Rumble was the movie

That was a horrible movie. BTW, I loathe Speakers too.

Here's a macrabre fact about that accident. I've been to the very spot that it occurred. Went to school at Mercer Univ, there in Macon and its become a bit of local lore. Seen the other motorcycle accident spot too ... (for the bassist, Berry Oakley)

edit: The sick thing is, they lived just around the corner too. I guess that goes to show that most auto accident occur within 10 miles of the home...

edit2: More bragging. I know Phil Walden, and, yes, he is as cokehead.

Hey tritium, we need a question. By the way, I don't know if this was mentioned but, the reason the Allman Bros album was named "Eat a Peach" was because it was a peach truck that Duane crashed with. (or so the story goes)

I think Snopes lists that as a urban legend, but it's a cool story anyways.

The sleepy town of Macon, Georgia has been the launching point for several other national and international acts other than the Allman Brothers.

Can you name the three internationally known black musicians to start out in Macon?

The question is officially a stumper tritium. Please give us the answer(s) and under the guidelines of the music trivia thread, give us an easier question.

Just a reminder, If someone answers the original question, you get to answer the next one. The bonus'es are nothing more than bonus'es. We have to keep it that way or we get more than one question on the floor.

That's why I labelled them as such.

I can't believe someone hasn't answered so far...

The evil character in the movie Barbarella was of course Durand Durand

The band changed it to Duran Duran.


OK, staying with the theme, when guitarist Andy Taylor left the group, he was replaced by Warren Cuccurullo.

What group was Warren formerly with?

Interesetingly enough, Duran Duran's first gig was in a club called Barbarella.

Can I buzz in with the answer? You followed my train of thought... or wait ... maybe I followed your's. I might wait considering my questions haven't gone over so well -- could be I'm out in left field with my music knowledge or...

I might be missing my marbles ... Strange how one persons can lose them so frequently...

I for one am in to the obscure questions, tritium, so please keep it up! Just keep in mind that if you stump us, you need to progressively make your questions a little easier. BTW, I see where this is going and if I'm not mistaken we've already had the Power Station trivia, correct?

Yes we have, but Warren has nothing to do with Powerstation.

If Tritium can't come up with an answer, I will provide a hint.

GOT - I know for sure that Warren Cuccurullo played in one or another of Frank Zappa's backing bands.

The band was Missing Persons. I'm fairly certain that I'm correct...

Hey all, totally new to the thread. Looks like there's a ton of tricky questions in here. I believe the answer to tritium's question is "Love You Live"

I was thinking of Stickey Fingers, but Love You Live is correct too. Good work! You're up!

You'll have to forgive me if this was already covered. I haven't gone over the whole thread yet.

How about: Who did John Paul Jones play bass for at their free concert in Hyde Park, London in 1974?

Hey sherpahigh, welcome to the thread....
I have pretty much followed and monitered the thread along with God of Thunder since I started it, and that question hasn't been asked. I like it, but don't know it!

Thanks, for the welcome. I probably won't be able to get a whole lot of the questions but I love to learn about music stuff I don't know.

Anyway, let me know if I need to give out a hint or as an easier question. I only happen to know the answer because I was reading up on some Zep facts online the other day.

I guess you did. I didn't see it the first time. Very tricky.
Doing well, she even sleeps for 3 hours at a time now. Wooo hoooo!!!!


As for the current question...


A free concert in Hyde Park eh? hmmmmm...(scratches chin)

My guess is The Stones.

/goes off to look it up because it is bugging me.

Wasn't the Stones.

There was another "guest" on stage with J.P. Jones. He went by "Dave Gilmour".

Pink Floyd?

heh heh... Nope, not the obvious.

J.P. Jones and Gilmour were playing with someone that was a "noted" influence on Led Zeppelin.
