Terry Bozzio played some drums for Frank Zappa before forming Missing Persons. Billy Sheehan played with David Lee Roth (and some other well knowns) before and after becoming a member of Mr. Big. Sheehan is considered one of the best bass players of all time, and has been credited with developing a finger-tapping technique on bass similar to that of Eddie Van Halen's on guitar. I remember Sheehan even had an instructional video for sale on TV commercials. But I could have sworn Sheehan died a few months ago - is this true or not?

Am I showing my age?
Dude, you're not necessarily showing your age, but you're definitely showing that you have an undying love for one-hit wonders.
TEN OF MY FAVORITES:
"Hand of Fate" - The Stones
"Sympathy for the Devil" - The Stones
"One Hit (to the Body)" - The Stones

Miami - you seem to have an uncontrolable reaction every time baseball is mentioned!
Yeah, sorry. But to me, baseball isn't, as some people call it, a 'GAME'. Baseball is life, and I'm a huge Red Sox fan. If you've ever noticed, at baseball games - whether or not the Yankees are playing in the game - the fans will start chanting, 'Yankees suck!' (because they do), but I had a hand in starting that whole deal. At a game in Toronto about seven years ago, the Red Sox fans starting chanting, 'Let's Go Red Sox!'. The Toronto fans started booing and hissing, and then chanting, 'Let's go, Blue Jays!'. I started chanting, 'Yankees Suck!' (because they do), quite loudly, and soon 40,000 Blue Jays and Red Sox fans joined in. It was most triumphant. The Blue Jays won the game, 4-1, but it is now commonplace at a baseball game to hear the chant of 'Yankees Suck!' (because they do). I don't think I was the first to start it, but I definitely helped bring it into the mainstream.
And, oh by the way, YANKEES SUCK!

Never mind!
Was that little laughing guy meant for me, Martin? I said Phil Collins is a good drummer; I just think he's a poor songwriter and I think he's wayyyy overrated as a rock star.
And no disrespect to you, Ironhorn. You look like a pretty big dude.

Thanks, Mel. My short-term memory isn't what it once was, you know.

Yes, disco does suck. But you gotta respect the Bee Gees. Yes, they're most recognized music came out of the disco era, but a lot of people forget that they started long before the evil term 'disco' was ever uttered. They had some classic folk rock ballads like "Massachusetts", "I Started A Joke", and "New York Mining Disaster 1941". They would probably be considered 'easy listening' now, and would never be lumped into the category of 'hard rockers' but they were definitely pioneers of classic rock, and they had some pretty great tunes in the early 70's. A few that come to mind are "Lonely Days", "Edge of the Universe", "Fanny", and "Nights on Broadway". Even "Jive Talkin'", though considered disco music to some, has some great guitar work in it, as do several of their other 'disco' tunes. You gotta give these guys their props, man; they are in the Rock 'N' Roll Hall of Fame.

"The Boys of Summer" by Don Henley doesn't actually mention the word 'baseball' (I don't think), but that is to what the title refers.
And who can forget that great parody from "The Simpsons"??
"We're talkin' baseball, from Maine to San Diego
Talkin' baseball, Mattingly and Canseco
Ken Griffey's grotesquely swollen jaw
Steve Sax and his run-in with the law
We're talkin' Homer, Ozzie and the Straw."

YANKEES SUCK!!!

Manfred Mann had a song called "Runner". I can't really remember the lyrics, but that sounds kind of familiar. Might this be the song of which you speak?
-
Another one.
Jimi Hendrix, Jim Morrison, Janis Joplin, and Kurt Cobain died at the age of 27.
Oh yeh so did Randy Rhodes but thats not really the same.
Actually, Randy Rhoads was only 25 when he died (b. 12/6/56, d. 3/19/82). And, IMO, it was more tragic than the others, because the others were much more predictable, especially Cobain.

"Father and Son" by Cat Stevens, (circa 1970) ---- no need to look any further.

How about "Running With the Devil" by Van Halen?

Syd Barret is still alive. He comes out sporadically to collect royalty money.
Heroin kill people everyday everywhere, but imagine how pink floyd, doors, beatles and countless others would have sound without trying cannabis and lsd. yet they are not for the weak of mind or partially tilted.
What he said. Oh yeah, and don't do crack.

Wasn't it Hansen that sang "Mmm Bop"?
-
"Hungry Heart" by Bruce Springsteen
"Raining in Baltimore" by Counting Crows
"Dancing in the Streets" by several hundred varied artists

W-w-well, f-first t-they, snap t-the bball, and they g-give it to the the qu-quarterback, and t-t-then I try to tackle the quarterback, b-but sometimes the qu-quarterback throws the b-b-ball, and t-then I have t-to t-tackle t-the guy t-that he t-threw the ball to.
"Which brings me to my next point kids....Don't do crack"
It took me a few seconds but I got it....that's "The Waterboy", right??
-
I believe Syd Barrett is still alive and living in seclusion somewhere. However, drugs did ruin his career and his mind. But his mind was a bit whacky to begin with. But you're right...don't do crack.

Was it "Come Anytime"? I was just looking at their Discography and that name popped out at me. I know that the song was off Magnum Cum Louder.
That's the one. I love that song. Thankya.

IMFO, the second best band to come out of Australia was Midnight Oil. I love their guitar work on "Blue Sky Mine" and "Truganini" and the whole "Diesel and Dust" album. They always had that Ramones-esque style to them, but with better politically charged lyrics. And that dude had a cool bald head. And "Great Southern Land" was a cool tune. That was Icehouse, I believe, wasn't it? Australia rocks!! And the Farriss Brothers rule!!
I remember about ten years ago, the Hoodoo Gurus had a hit in America, but I can't remember the name. I loved that song. Does anybody remember that one? Tell me the name please. It had a kind of fast, punky, REM-like, guitar in it, and it got some MTV airplay, but I can't remember the name. If I heard the name, I would remember. Anyone??

Does anyone remember that classic Saturday Night Live sketch where Eddie Murphy plays Clarence, a black saxophone player who, he claims, started the Beatles. They were originally called the "Clarences". This was one of the funniest skits ever on SNL. Clarence played a record backwards and you could hear, "Hey, Paul, let's kick Clarence out of the band and steal his really great ideas." "Yeah, let's." Clarence was suing for royalties from all the Beatles' early songs. Hilarious sketch.
-
Sounds like it might be "Stay" by Lisa Loeb and Nine Stories. Not sure, though.
-
How about "Big Eyed Fish" by Dave Matthews Band? I don't really care for the band or the song, but some things just stick with you when it's drilled into your head thousands and thousands and thousands of times.
And John Mayer has a song, I think it's called "No Such Thing", that says something about being "better on the other side".
