Thin Lizzy

Oops - forgot I had posted that question.

Bluebottle has it - they all played on Thin Lizzy albums. Beacon and Collins are on Johnny the Fox and Helliwell played sax on Dancing in The Moonlight from Bad Reputation

Woohoo!

What band links a bloke with a beard in banana boots and a man who (in)famously sang whilst someone lost an ear?

citoyen · « **Reply #1328 on:** 02 April, 2010, 10:45:46 pm »

~~Blondie?~~

Scratch that - just remembered who the man in banana boots was...

The answer is The Humblebums.

The links being Billy Connolly (used to wear Banana Boots on stage) and Gerry Rafferty (of Stealers Wheel, who did Stuck In The Middle, as used in Reservoir Dogs). Both were members of The Humblebums.

The ear-slicer was Mr Blonde, hence my first guess.

Correct!

Next...

OK, better think of a question...

Bluebottle · « **Reply #1331 on:** 03 April, 2010, 04:04:22 pm »

...such as "who actually played sax on Baker Street?"

Best not...

citoyen · « **Reply #1332 on:** 03 April, 2010, 04:39:18 pm »

Bob Holness wasn't it?

Ok...

How does a theoretical physicist link David Byrne to The Clash, via a notorious motel owner?

Well, some links there are obviously Norman Bates, Psycho Killer (uh uh HA ha, uh uh Ha ha)

Landscape, isn't it? They did "E=mc²" which is about Einstein, and "Norman Bates". I'm not sure where The Clash come into it though.

Big Audio Dynamite did a song called "E=mc²" and their man Mick Jones was in The Clash

but was the Landscape track about Norman Bates ? I getcha now, they also had a song about Batesey

Landscape did 'Einstein A Go-Go' & 'Norman Bates'.

so who got it right?

rogerzilla · « **Reply #1339 on:** 04 April, 2010, 07:38:42 am »

I'll set one, then.

Where exactly did Jim Morrison record most of his vocals for the album "L.A. Woman"? Clue: he was drinking a LOT of beer during the sessions.

PaulF · « **Reply #1340 on:** 04 April, 2010, 07:54:43 am »

In the toilets?

rogerzilla · « **Reply #1341 on:** 04 April, 2010, 08:24:53 am »

Damn. Too easy. Your turn.

PaulF · « **Reply #1342 on:** 04 April, 2010, 08:51:10 am »

Who links "Needle and the Damage Done" with "I Don't Want to Talk About It"?

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #1343 on:** 04 April, 2010, 09:15:07 am »

Danny Whitten
Wrote the lyrics for the second, and Ol' Shakey wrote the first about him.

PaulF · « **Reply #1344 on:** 04 April, 2010, 10:22:37 am »

Tony has it! Thought it would take longer but I misjudged the knowledge here

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #1345 on:** 04 April, 2010, 10:48:45 am »

I am an ardent Young fan......both songs precede "Tonight's the Night",which is probably the darkest thing Neil has ever done. Too much drugs, too many deaths.
Now, time to think.....

Tourist Tony · « **Reply #1346 on:** 04 April, 2010, 10:50:02 am »

A nice easy one. What links Cornelius Brunner, Ginger Baker and Europe?
