[surrender]

<P>Pigpen had alcohol-related liver problems, but he actually died from a bleeding ulcer.</P>
<P>The significance of Dischord records was that it began the DIY way of putting out records, and not having to deal with the major labels.&nbsp; I still hope Fugazi comes out of hiatus and gives us another album.<IMG src="http://www.rockbandgame.com/file/smile/smile.gif"></P>

<P>Who is the only remaing original bandmember of Marilyn Manson(other than the frontman.)?</P>

[surrender]

<P>I'm not surprised that nobody knew the answer to your original question, since you threw a red herring in there.&nbsp; Roy Harper did not write the lyrics or music for Have A Cigar, he only recorded the vocals in the studio because Roger Waters had strained his voice recording Shine On You Crazy Diamond.&nbsp; Roy Harper was recording down the hall at Abbey Road.&nbsp; Roger Waters is credited with writing the lyrics and the music for the track.&nbsp; There are other singers who have recorded lead vocals for Floyd (Clare Torry on The Great Gig in the Sky, Jon Carin, and Guy Pratt on various songs).</P>
<P>&nbsp;Madonna Wayne Gacy (Stephen Bier) is still playing with Marilyn Manson.</P>

[dannycareyjr]

jasin todd- shinedown. terrible band. name the tool song which actually contains a sort of rorschach test to the listener within the lyrics.

[Seattle_Sound]

<P>Is the song "The Patient" I'm not really sure, but if it is then my question is...</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>
<P>At the 92 VMA awards Nirvana wanted to play the song "Rape Me" however MTV wanted them to play the oh so popular "Smells Like Teen Spirit". Nirvana didnt want to play that so they told MTV they were quiting. MTV begged them to come back and they compromised on playing (insert song here). This was memorable because Kurt started out playing the first 2 lines of "Rape Me" just to scare MTV. Classic. Anyway the question is what song did they play at the 92 VMA's????</P>
<P>&nbsp;</P>

[franknfurter1000]

<P>Lithium</P>
<P>My question is how many albums did Marty Friedman play with Megadeth, and what were they?</P>

[Seattle_Sound]

<P>5-Rust In Peace/Countdown To&nbsp;Extinction/Youthanasia/Cryptic Writings/Risk&nbsp;</P>
<P>My question is-What guitarist known for his costume he wears while playing tried out for the Red Hot Chili Peppers after John Frusicante left the band. He was beat out by Dave Navarro but later went on to get one of his songs on GH2.</P>

[surrender]

<P>It was the incomparable Buckethead, the rumor was that he pissed them off by saying he hadn't heard any of their albums but still blew them away with his style.&nbsp; Think how different <EM>One Hot Minute </EM>would have been with him playing guitar<IMG src="http://www.rockbandgame.com/file/smile/wacko.gif">.</P>
<P>Because I'm hyped for its release, what Halo number will the new Nine Inch Nails album be?&nbsp; (for anyone confused by what I mean - Trent numbers all of his official releases and they are known as Halo_? in addition to the title)</P>

[hmxsean]

Halo 24.

I know this doesn't seem rock but...you know...it is-

Before Marvin Gaye became a singer he played what instrument for which #1 hit factory band?

[Huskie]

Drummer for The Marvelettes (I cheated)

[hmxsean]

The Marvelettes were one of the bands. The house band was Motown's Funk Brothers of which Marvin Gaye was an early drummer from '59-'61.

And since you got the answer mostly right you get to ask the next question.

[Huskie]

In the Genesis video for Land of Confusion, which button was Ronald Reagan trying to push when he accidentally launched a nuke?

[Huskie]

Maybe I shouldn't be asking music video questions ???
Answer: The nurse button (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:LandofConfusionscreenshot3.JPG)

So I'll ask a rock band question :D
When the Stray Cats formed as a rockabilly cover band in 1979, what was their name?

[benjamin]

The Tomcats


The the 1980s the Blue Oyster Cult released a concept album. which song on this concept album was also featured on another one of their albums?

[hmxsean]

The Tomcats (tough one!)


QUESTION- The classic MC5 track "Kick Out the Jams" was later edited after Elektra claimed multiple obscenity complaints from various customers and groups. The edit changed the opening line of "Kick out the jams %&^$$#^#" to what?

[benjamin]

I think they changed it to something like "Kick out the jams brothers sisters"

Though I could just be stupid.

[hmxsean]

The the 1980s the Blue Oyster Cult released a concept album. which song on this concept album was also featured on another one of their albums?


This is a hard one - Black Blade was featured on Extraterrestrial Live but of course that was a live album...

[Huskie]

Astronomy ?

Thank you Sean for the title change.

[benjamin]

Yes, it is Astronomy, the song was on both Imaginos, the Concept album released in 1988 and Secret Treaties released in 1974.

The Secret Treaties version is the better version by the way. The best version is on the Some Enchanted Evening Live album.

[DjOddness]

keep going, don't stop.

I want to try to get one ;p

[Huskie]

John Lennon, from the Beatles, started out by forming a band in 1957 under what name?
There are two different names being tossed around and either will do.

[benjamin]

The Quarrymen

[hmxsean]

Just a reminder that when answering the question you must then also add your own question. That keeps this going long into perpetuity.

[benjamin]

Before the more famous Sid Vicious joined the band who was the bassist for the Sex Pistols?

[DjOddness]

Glen Matlock

Musical genius Devin Townsend has a new solo project entitled Ziltoid the Omniscient.

What was the name he originally had in mind?

[hmxsean]

The Mighty Masturbator (can't imagine why he changed it)

What was the name of the first Non Compos Mentis album? For extra points name the first place I ever saw them play.

[DjOddness]

Self titled? Did you see them in Dallas? lol

I might be wrong on bolth with an "l"

[benjamin]

Try posting a question anyway, just to keep the flow going.

[hmxsean]

Self titled? Did you see them in Dallas? lol

I might be wrong on bolth with an "l"

Wrong on both! Ouch!

[benjamin]

I am going to have to make my trivia really obscure if I want to combat you. Damn.

[DjOddness]

Ultimate Orgasm?

and you saw them in...... Boston?!

[hmxsean]

No again! Anyone else want to try. All you have to do is get the album title right. If no one gets it by tonight I will ask a less obscure question.

Also they are known as just Non Compos now. If you get a chance take a listen. They were/are amazing.

[benjamin]

Okay, is the name of their first album, "Rats Know Him"?

If the answer is correct then my question is "What famous Grunge musician worked on an Earth album?"

[n0r3mac]

gene klein


Which Member did Cliff Williams(ac/dc) replace from Highway to Hell

[benjamin]

gene klein


Which Member did Cliff Williams(ac/dc) replace from Highway to Hell

That is actually the incorrect answer. It was not Gene Klein, I am not even sure who that is. The correct answer is a Grunge Musician, and to be specific the Earth I am referring to is a Drone Metal band.

[n0r3mac]

That is actually the incorrect answer. It was not Gene Klein, I am not even sure who that is. The correct answer is a Grunge Musician, and to be specific the Earth I am referring to is a Drone Metal band.

no i accidentally reposted to a different question

[benjamin]

Is not one going to even try to answer this? I have a big hint. Look Up Earth on Wikipedia, it is in the entry paragraph.

[benjamin]

The answer was Kurt Cobain.

Okay, how about this question, name every member who was ever in the Ramones.

[benjamin]

Okay, how about this.

Who was the guitarist in Led Zeppelin?

[n0r3mac]

Jimmy Page

OK, what song by Genesis did Disturbed do a cover of?

[damnfinecat]

[GNR962]

Land of Confusion

Kurt Cobain had a tattoo on his shoulder of a record label's logo. What was the logo?

I think it was a K



If I got here is my question(it isn't classic):how many bands have the members of Blink 182 formed(as a combined group).

[damnfinecat]

You're correct, it was the K emblem of K Records. Many people don't know that Grundge actually grew out of Twee, not punk.

[benjamin]

I believe 2, 44+ and Angels and Airwaves.

Which was the first Bob Dylan album to have all original works, or reworded, no covers.

[GNR962]

I believe 2, 44+ and Angels and Airwaves.

Which was the first Bob Dylan album to have all original works, or reworded, no covers.

Wrong,it was 3(not counting the obvious, Blink 182)


it was Box Car Racer,+44,and Angels and Airwaves



Box Car Racer was not very popular, so in turn overlooked.

[benjamin]

You can delete one of your posts, when you are in the edit screen there is a delete post box. Also you need to ask a new question.

[GNR962]

Thanks, I didn't know that.



Alright, new question.

It was Can I Play With Madness- Iron Maiden

Stalaggh

Who was supposed to be the guest drummer at black metal band Shining's infamous February 3rd concert in Halmstad, Sweden that also featured guest appearances from Attila Csihar, Maniac, and Natterfrost?

[Archangel_of_Light]

I think it was Jan Axel Blomberg or Ted Wedebrand. I might be wrong, cause I'm not so sure on this one.

If I am here is my question. How many bands has Joey Jordison played for, and what are their names?

[Kutsic]

Yea, it was Hellhammer(Jan Axel Blomberg).

About the Joey question, are we talking live performances as well, or actual recordings?

Which member of the Who also appeared on Lois and Clark: The New Adventures of Superman?

[benjamin]

Roger Daltrey

Which minor band did Lee Rocker play with immediatly after the first breakup of the Stray Cats?

[Archangel_of_Light]

Well I guess you were right on my question except for the band he is currently recording with.

As for the previous question, I'm going to say Phantom.


If I'm right my question is What did Till Lindemann do before becoming vocalist of Rammstein?

[Rev0lver]

well, i know hes touring with korn but hes not recording with them, other than that i just looked it up and i was right minus an older band before slipknot with some people from the murderdolls called "the rejects"

[Archangel_of_Light]

Actually he is helping with recording on their upcoming album. But yea, you're right on that. I just looked it up.

[GNR962]

Phantom, Rocker, and Slick



When and how did ACDC's Bon Scott die, and who was his replacement?(there has to be an easy part to a long question.)

[qwertythesecond]

[GNR962]

he died february 19th 1980 because of alcohol poisoning and his replacement was brian johnson




i can't think of a question now so someone else can




He actually choked on his own vomit, but I'll give it to you.


Here is a question; there is no wrong answer. The first person to answer gets the new question.

How awesome is Rock Band going to be?

[Archangel_of_Light]

That is an obvious one. It's going to FREAKING ROCK!!!!

[masterx1918]

Bon Scott choked on his own vomit when he was left unattended in his car after a long night of boozing (which wasn't anything out of the ordinary for Scott). Brian Johnson, formerly of the band Geordie, then auditioned for AC/DC and got the job pretty much un-contested.

my question- name ALL of the bands Eric Clapton has done works with

[Tubbs83]

The Roosters
Casey Jones and the Engineers
The Yardbirds
John Mayall and the Bluesbreakers
Cream
Blind Faith

Besides Mr. Bungle, name a band that Trey Spruance is in that is 'well known.'

And I would loooooove it if there was Patton in RB, especially if it was Bungle.

[Rev0lver]

And Rev0lver.....all I can say is wow. They may suck, but seriously man....grow up.

[benjamin]

im not a homophob, its just that they suck. and sucking **** is a good metaphor.


You can call them gay but I believe that the members of Fall Out Boy can take solace in the fact that, as a nationally known rock band, they can get far more woman then you.


Also you spelt homophobe wrong.

[Kutsic]

hide, Yoshiki, Toshi.

unless we're talking about the reunited one, then you can scratch hide off that :'(

and if that's the case, then add in Heath or Pata, whichever you want lol.

Yes, it is Astronomy, the song was on both Imaginos, the Concept album released in 1988 and Secret Treaties released in 1974.

The Secret Treaties version is the better version by the way. The best version is on the Some Enchanted Evening Live album.

You're benamingaska from the gfaqs 360 board, right?

Second, I can't believe that there's a question on page two that was answered incorrectly and no one gave in a correct answer

Cliff Burton was NOT Metallica's original bassist. Ron McGovney was, but he left after Dave Mustaine poured beer on his bass and it shocked him when he plugged it in.

As for my question, what band has all the members dress up in eyeball costumes?

[skatz82]

The Kansas City Shuffle (I cheated)

As for my question, what band has all the members dress up in eyeball costumes?

Is it The Residents?

If so, how many "side projects"* has Les Claypool started when not with Primus?

C2B3
Flying Frog Brigade

[Shneybz]

What Nirvana album did Kurt Cobain credit himself as "Kurdt" Cobain in the booklet.

[SweetLikeGravy]

**** I know this...

C2B3
Flying Frog Brigade
Oysterhead

I think that's all of them, or all I can think of... I can't think of a question though.

For a second, I didn't realize what C2B3 was, and I thought you were forgetting something.

To ben, I like this board better than the 360 boards. Fewer newbs, as there is little to be a newb about, considering the game still isn't out. I also hang out on the ps2 board a lot.

[Blue88]

well i have one.

What Nirvana album did Kurt Cobain credit himself as "Kurdt" Cobain in the booklet.

Bleach.

I don't have a question either.

[TheIceCreamMan]

Who gave Alice Cooper their first big break?

[Blue88]

Frank Zappa, I think.

If I'm right, what was "The Chicken Incident"?

[TheIceCreamMan]

Frank Zappa, I think.

If I'm right, what was "The Chicken Incident"?

Frank Zappa's correct. For anyone who doesn't know, The Chicken Incident is when Zappa was producing them. A chicken had wandered on stage and Alice thought "It's a bird, it should be able to fly." So he picks up the chicken and tosses it into the air expecting it to fly off. Instead it falls into the crowd which rips the chicken apart trying to get it.

The newspapers reported that Alice ate the head off the chicken. Frank calls Alice asking him if it's true. he says no and tells him the real story. Frank says 'Well, whatever you do, don't tell anyone you didn't do it."

[JudasHendrix]

Since a question hasn't been asked in a few days I'll ask one.

why did joey ramone write "the kkk took my baby away"

[Dabog666]

Johnny Ramone, the conservative member of the group, stole away Joey Ramone's girlfriend Linda, and Joey wrote this song about it.

What significance does the song title: 'YYZ' bear? (written by Rush)

[WingsOfSteel]

It's the call sign of an airport they liked. (?, bit fuzzy on the details I'm afraid) Also, the opening notes form YYZ in Morse Code.

Kansas's song "Closet Chronicles" is an allegory for which man?

[StartSomething]

Howard Hughes

[PDMChubby]

If you include former members there are probably multiple bands that fit this description.

So I am going to say Chicago. **** load of people in that band.

[army258]

dimebag was correct

[whofan]

Okay, here's one.

How many of the children/siblings of members of The Who have recorded albums? (Please give names. Bonus points if you can name all of the albums and years of release ;))

What Was AC/DC's actual FIRST lead singer (It's not Bon Scott!)

[benjamin]

Dave Evans


What is the meaning behind the name The Sex Pistols?

[HardRockerBrazil]

It's a slang term for penis. Also, there was a shop called Sex that belonged to Malcolm McLaren's wife, Vivianne Westwood (or so I remember her name).

What's the inspiration to the Rush song Red Barchetta?

[fried_blowney]

The song was inspired by the futuristic short story "A Nice Morning Drive", written by Richard Foster in 1973.

Which came first: Fragile or Who's Next?

[HardRockerBrazil]

Who's Next by almost 4 months.

Who played guitar in The Police before Andy Summers joined?

[Kutsic]

Trauma

How many bands has ICS Vortex become Garm's replacement in?

[benjamin]

Can you rephrase that question? Because I am honestly unsure what the question is.

[Phrank-E]

what band was cliff burton playing in before joining metallica


He was in Flotsam and Jetsom.. Awesome band

What band wrote 'I love Rock and Roll'?

[Jsnkr9216]

He was in Flotsam and Jetsom.. Awesome band

What band wrote 'I love Rock and Roll'?

The Arrows?



If so, then here's my question:

In 1993, after the singer of Mayhem, Dead, killed himself for the 'dissolution' of Black Metal, Euronymous, the founder and lead guitarist was stabbed to death after production of "De Mysteriis Dom Santhanas" by this vocal replacement he brought in.

What was the name of this new vocalist and who (another band member) was an Accomplice to murder?

[Kutsic]

Occultus technically the vocalist immediately after Dead's death, but the one who recorded vocals on De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas was Attila Csihar.

As for the second part of your question...Varg commited the murder, his accomplice wasn't another member of Mayhem, he was Snorre from Thorns.

And since my last question wasn't clear, I'll rephrase it.

How many bands has Garm been the lead singer of, only to be replaced, upon his departure from the band, by his fellow vocalist, ICS Vortex?

[HardRockerBrazil]

Three: Arcturus (from where he was replaced), Borknagar and Ulver.

Which album sold more: Pearl Jam's Ten or Nirvana's Nevermind?

PS: Hey, Phrank-E, the one who migrated from Flotsam & Jetsam to Metallica was JASON NEWSTED, not Cliff Burton.

[benjamin]

Ten sold more if we are going by US figures, I am unsure of Worldwide numbers.


Who wrote the song Whiskey in a Jar?

[BobLoblaw]

Who wrote the song Whiskey in a Jar? Is this a trick question? It's a tradational Irish folk song, and it's origin is untracable. :confused:

[devo193]

Wrote or performed?

[Daywalker69]

Who wrote the song Whiskey in a Jar?

The guy above is right, the origins are unknown. I think the most well-known performer would be Thin Lizzy, though.

[ANGYOU]

The guy above is right, the origins are unknown. I think the most well-known performer would be Thin Lizzy, though.
Then after Thin Lizzy, most people know Metallica's cover version of Thin Lizzy's version.

Angus Young's "duck walk" was inspired by what rock legend?

[benjamin]

Is this a trick question? It's a tradational Irish folk song, and it's origin is untracable. :confused:

It was a trick question, you got it.

I believe that Angus Young took it from Chuck Barry.

Someone else make a question.

[fried_blowney]

How did Led Zeppelin get their name?

[HardRockerBrazil]

For what I read once, it came from a quirk made by Keith Moon when Jimmy Page tried to call him to join the then New Yardbirds. Moon said their new band would go down like a lead zeppelin. Page liked the name (because it combined heaviness and lightness, that are two qualities of his sound) and replaced New Yardbirds with Led Zeppelin (without the A in "lead" to make pronounciation easy).

What's the name of the metallic eagle that appears in the cover of Judas Priest's Screaming for Vengeance?

[devo193]

The Hellion.

The lead singers mother I believe.

Someone else make a question.

[NirvanaFTW]

What is Pearl Jam's song "Jeremy" about?

[Rev0lver]

i know there's more of a philosophical meaning to it, but it came from the suicide of a kid named jeremy in front of his english class.

what was the name of the Mayhem bootleg album that infamously contained a real photo of previous vocalist Dead's corpse

[benjamin]

Dawn of the Black Heart's.

One of the Rolling Stone's earliest songs was a cover called Not Fade Away, who performed the original?

[ANGYOU]

Buddy Holly

the band Accept covered a song called "I'm a Rebel" in 1980. Who originally recorded this track?
Bonus points for the name of the author.

Hint : Author is related to two members of the band.

[Phrank-E]

Three: Arcturus (from where he was replaced), Borknagar and Ulver.

Which album sold more: Pearl Jam's Ten or Nirvana's Nevermind?

PS: Hey, Phrank-E, the one who migrated from Flotsam & Jetsam to Metallica was JASON NEWSTED, not Cliff Burton.

**** me.. I feel a stupid ass.. You're quite right!!! I saw Cliff and thought Jason.. Well played.

[whofan]

"I'm A Rebel" was originally recorded by AC/DC during the Bonn Scott years but has gone unreleased (possibly due to subpar vocals due to Scott being very drunk at the time of recording).

It was covered by Accept on their 1980 album "I'm A Rebel".

The name of the author is George Alexander, which is a pseudonym for Alex Young the older brother of guitarist Angus Young, guitarist Malcolm Young and producer George Young. (How many bonus points is that worth?)

Next question,

How did Keith Moon join The Who?

[benjamin]

By the group agreeing that he would work as a member of the band.

[whofan]

I meant the specifics about how he came about joining the band.

Although you are partially correct. The group did agree to his joining, but never did ask him if he wanted to.

[lithiumkc]

Alright, im just gonna throw a funny one out there.

What did Axl Rose tell Kurt Cobain to do about Courtney Love, when she jokingly asked if he would be the godfather of their child? And what was Kurts response?

[HardRockerBrazil]

That was tough, but I found it in indirect speech:

Axl first told Kurt that he should keep Courtney in line.
Kurt then said that Courtney was a grunge version of Axl.

I didn't want to copy it from where I found, so it'll go like this.
================================================== ===========================
Now, next question:

When, where and why did Led Zeppelin have to change their name temporarily to The Nobs?

[Daywalker69]

They had to change it for a February 28, 1970 gig in Copenhagen Because Eva von Zeppelin threatened legal action after seeing their first album cover.

So, next question.

Who did Frank Zappa dedicate the Mothers of Invention song "Help, I'm a Rock" to?

[the_polite_force]

evil presley

[smokeverbs]

Paatos.

Name three unreleased Prince albums!

edit: oops you asked for two bands. Nevermind.

[battle_axe_of_doom]

just out of curiousity, do you listen to paatos and landberk or did you look it up :(

[smokeverbs]

A friend gave me a burned copy of the Silence of another kind album - but other than that I'd never heard of them before, no.

[polishdog90]

wut two bands did former members of landberk form????????????

Paatos and Dungen? (Complete guess)

Whydoes Roger Daltrey from the who stutter while singing My Generation?

[HardRockerBrazil]

Why does Roger Daltrey from The Who stutter while singing My Generation?

There are at least two versions to explain it.

One says that the song started out as a slow blues piece without the stuttering, but the song was remade (and speeded up) after inspiration from John Lee Hooker's "Stuttering Blues".

The other states that they wanted Roger Daltrey to sound like a drugged mod.

Really, it's hard to tell which of them is the true one.

Next question:
Where did Smashing Pumpkins get their name from?

[battle_axe_of_doom]

NO NO NO NO NO

none of these questions matter until someone answers mine correctly

Next question:
Where did Smashing Pumpkins get their name from?

oops, forgot to answer this one:

Billy finally let the fans in on his reason for naming the band The Smashing Pumpkins at a radio show during The Sacred and Profane tour in '98. Fans of the band were allowed to sit in on the show and ask them questions. One fan asked Billy how he came up with the name. Turns out it was quite obvious. Billy claimed that when he was younger, he had heard a friend say during Halloween that he was going out and would be 'smashing pumpkins'. Billy just thought that was a good name for a band. In fact, long before he was ever in a band, he would tell friends that he was in a band called Smashing Pumpkins. So naturally, once he DID start a band of his own, that was what he named it. After the band became famous, however, Billy realized that fans were bringing pumpkins to shows and smashing them everywhere. This lead Billy to add 'The' to the band name so that the word 'Smashing' would be read like the British adjective, as he intended it. Thats how he came up with the band name. :)




My trivia question has already been posted.. to which no one has yet attempted to answer ;-)

i wasn't picking a fight :confused: and HOW DARE U MOCK PAATOS ?!?!?!?!?!? :stillnotpickingafight:

[battle_axe_of_doom]

Paatos and The Guild



Here is my question (multi part answer required):

Who sung this where and when?
And Extra points for what Album and between which songs

"Hail satan if you please muuuuahahahaha BURRRRRP.... I'm just kiddin man.... maybe..."

ok well idk who it was and what city they said it in but apparently it's from metallica's live sh*t bing and purge

[Fallon]

i wasn't picking a fight :confused: and HOW DARE U MOCK PAATOS ?!?!?!?!?!? :stillnotpickingafight:

okay okay :D

sorry for mocking paatos. they are really great musicians.

[Fallon]

ok well idk who it was and what city they said it in but apparently it's from metallica's live sh*t bing and purge

yes, it was Metallica, and yes it is from thier Live Sh*t Binge & Purge Album (of which I am the proud owner). It was sung/said by James as a fill in between Song 8 ("Justice Meledy") and song 9 "Solos (Bass/&Guitar)"

It was recorded on Feb 25th Live in Mexico City.

He said/sung this:

"A little beer for my throad.. maestro" as Jason brought him a beer, and begun playing his bass solo.. which by the way is fu*kin awesome! Jasons playing was a little spooky, so James added ( to the beat of the bass and after he took a big gulp of his beer) "Hail satan if you please muahahahahah.. BURRRRRP..... i'm just kiddin man...maybe...... So heres Jason and he's in a good mood so you better look the fu*k out. I think he wants to play a little bass for you is that all right? (yaaaaa from the crown) "NO I SAID IS IT ALL RIGHT!?!?!?! (YAAAAAA from the crowd) "**** yeah!"



so, you got some of it right, so you get the next question. :D

[Fallon]

What fu*king wierd coincedences... check this out:

If you have been keeping up on this thread, you will have noticed that the last question was about Metallica, and that battle_axe and I had a little (short lived thank god) argument about Paatos who are an excelent swedish progressive rock band.....

Well, once on the subject of Metallica it's hard for me to get off it so I was doing some reading in wiki.. and check this out:

did you know, that today marks the 21st anneversary of Cliff Burtons death (27.Sep.1986)? Cliff was the bassist for Metallica who died in a tragic bus accident involving the whole band in guess where? SWEDEN!!

The guy that took Cliffs place as bassist was Jason Newstead who is very sadly no longer part of Metallica... really too bad.. but check this out.. he and I have the same birthdate March 3rd... allbeit two years apart but still.

I love such coincedences and sychronicities. :D

We all miss you Cliff and hope you are rocking the heavens and/or hells wherever you are!

[battle_axe_of_doom]

totally forgot today is cliff's deathday. rip we hardly knew ye
