_Laurie_ Posted July 23, 2007 Report Posted July 23, 2007 Wild guess here...Woman? Guess Who ~ American Woman Deep Purple ~ My Woman From Tokyo The Eagles ~ Witchy Woman
bazooka Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 Sorry. That's not really what I was looking for. bazooka maybe got a touch esoteric here this time. The Guess WhoDeep PurpleThe Eagles [smallest]hint: the link involves 1) players in these groups 2) another band [/smallest]
bazooka Posted July 24, 2007 Report Posted July 24, 2007 [smallest]hint: the link involves 1) players in these groups 2) another band [/smallest] Big Hint [big]:[/big] They played the same position in [smallest]2)[/smallest] before moving into [smallest]1)[/smallest]. Only the one still living was with either [smallest]1)[/smallest] or [smallest]2)[/smallest] during peak periods of popularity.
Rayzor Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 It's the James Gang. I know Troiano (dunno first name) left them to play for The Guess Who and I know Joe Walsh played The Eagles and James Gang. I can only assume it's another guitarist from Deep Purple who started with JG. (Bolen maybe?) or is this too much of a stretch??
bazooka Posted July 25, 2007 Report Posted July 25, 2007 That was exactly the esoteric stretch I wanted! Italian-born naturalized Canadian guitarist Domenic Troiano joined The James Gang when Joe Walsh went solo. When Troiano left to join The Guess Who, he was replaced by Tommy Bolin (on the recommendation of Joe Walsh). Tommy Bolin left in 1974 after two James Gang albums, and joined Deep Purple. Substance abuser Bolin died in 1976 after falling unconscious following a concert. Troiano died of prostate cancer in 2005. See the Dominic Troiano Guitar Scholarship. Walsh was invited into The Eagles around the Hotel California / The Long Run days when the band shifted from country rock to songs with harder edge. Go rayzor!
Rayzor Posted July 26, 2007 Report Posted July 26, 2007 wow... you make them wild bazooka!! Am I ever glad I knew enough about Walsh and Troiano! Bolin (sorry I mis-spelled earlier) was a wild guess cuz he's the only guitarist whose name I could remember Now for something simple... The E Street Band Meat Loaf 10,000 Maniacs
bazooka Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 E Street Band's drummer Max Weinberg played on Meat Loaf's Bat Out Of Hell album and filled in with 10,000 Maniacs on one tour?
Jenny Posted July 27, 2007 Report Posted July 27, 2007 Did they all do a cover of "Because The Night" by Patty Smith?
Rayzor Posted July 28, 2007 Report Posted July 28, 2007 Bazooka's answer is what I was lookin' for... Max played drums with all 3 bands... I was hoping the 10,000 Maniacs thing would be a relatively unknown trivia piece, but I guess not! You're up Bazooka!
c_s_1987 Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 How could there possibly be a connection between those three?
bazooka Posted July 30, 2007 Report Posted July 30, 2007 Blue Oyster CultWilson PickettSlayer How could there possibly be a connection between those three? I assure you there is one :beady:
bazooka Posted August 1, 2007 Report Posted August 1, 2007 [smallest]Hint Time [/smallest]: Mars Bonfire
bazooka Posted August 3, 2007 Report Posted August 3, 2007 To recapitulate: Blue Oyster CultWilson PickettSlayer[smallest]Hint Time [/smallest]: Mars Bonfire ------ [smallest]New Hint[/smallest]: Use the goddamn Google.
bazooka Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 Well, Mars Bonfire is best known for one thing. And variations of that one thing is what connects the three very different artists.
Lucky Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 Would that one thing be the song "Born To be Wild"? I know that two of the three recorded it, Wilson Pickett, and Blue Oyster Cult, so I'm assuming that Slayer did also?
Rayzor Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 I think you may be right, Lucky! (in case you are)
Rayzor Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 I will!! You'll feel the buzz in a few minutes!
bazooka Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 Would that one thing be the song "Born To be Wild"? I know that two of the three recorded it, Wilson Pickett, and Blue Oyster Cult, so I'm assuming that Slayer did also? Yep ([smallest]at your own risk[/smallest]) Your turn. Lucky you, Lucky.
Rayzor Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 I like Slayer, but Steppenwolf still did the best version, tyvm...
Lucky Posted August 5, 2007 Report Posted August 5, 2007 Oh good lord. That's just plain awful . Yeah, lucky me. Give me a bit, I'll come up with something!
