I think Badge was co-written by Clapton and George Harrison...
I think Jeff Beck gave Jimmy Paige the LP...
Layla was a reference to George Harrison's wife (not her name though).
Uhh, Dime was murdered on our drummers birthday :confused:
But, Dime was shot and killed on the same date that John Lennon was shot.


Now......mine are much easier.

1. Who played guitar on Michael Jacksons Thriller (and never saw a penny from it) ?

2. Who were the 2 original guitarist for Metallica?

3. How did the half stack get invented? What famous guitar player was involved?

4. Who did Jimi Hendrix open for that was considered to be one of the oddest pairing in music history?

5. Who invented mulit track recording?

For some reason I remember Janis Joplin and Jim Morrison's deaths being linked. Either same date, or maybe it was her birthday. Probably wrong, though.

Here's one no one will answer becuase they will be too lazy to research it.

How many total strings, on all guitars and bass, are played on and I mean actually sounded not one that wasn't used, on The Eagles "Hotel California"?

I have a crazy amount of trivia bouncing around my head, but it's answers, not questions... Here are some that I can remember:


  1. This blues/classic rock singer was voted "Ugliest Man on Campus"

  2. Who sang the line "Which one's Pink?"

  3. After troubles within and outside of the band, U2 was about to call it quits, until Bono stepped up to the mic during a practice and began singing this song.

  4. In what year did Syd Barrett die?



Pretty cheesy questions, but all I can come up with for now.
... and that's all I have to say about that.

2. Roy Harper sang "which ones pink?"

Isn't Syd Barret still alive?

I'm pretty sure Joe Walsh sold Jimmy Page the les paul for $600
