Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 okie dokie... here we go again. Mike Watt was a member of the Stooges. He was also a member of Porno for Pyros. Porno for Pyros was an offshoot of Janes Addiction when they broke up.... so here is Jane's Addiction Jane's Addiction - Stop Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AndyofHalifax 15339 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 You've really stepped up the connections, OD! So here's my attempt to keep pace Dave Navarro was the lead guitarist in the original incarnation of Jane's Addiction. After Jane's Addiction broke up and Izzy Stradlin left Guns 'N Roses, Navarro was Axl Rose's first choice to join the band. However, despite multiple attempts, GNR couldn't get Navarro to show up and play with Slash. However, Axl eventually convinced him to join them to record this song for the End of Days soundtrack Guns 'N Roses - Oh My God Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 alright, this is more of a challenge. Paper Lace were a one hit wonder, kinda. Their other hit, "Billy Don't be a Hero" was covered before they released it in North America by another one hit wonder, Bo Donaldson and the Heywoods. If we let Paper Lace and Bo Donaldson cancel each other out on "Billy," Bo Donaldson is left with "Who do you think you are," a song written by ANOTHER one hit wonder... Jigsaw. So here is...

Old Dog 179138 Report post Posted January 22, 2012 ahhhh utterly obscure indeed. Phil Calvert was the drummer for Nick and the Seeds. He left briefly to join the Psychedelic Furs in 1983 but again left the Furs before they recorded again in 1984. The Psychedelic Furs recorded Pretty in Pink for the John Hughes film of the same name. John Hughes also did "Ferris Bueller's Day Off." This is from that film.

AndyofHalifax 15339 Report post Posted January 24, 2012 Mighty Quinn was originally penned by Bob Dylan and recorded in the basement of "Big Pink" in Woodstock with The Band. The Band's last concert was called The Last Waltz and featured a number of great musicians.... and Neil Diamond, who Robbie Robertson forced into the lineup because he produced some of Diamond's albums. Diamond didn't really fit with the rest of the performers, however, he still had an unhealthy amount of irrational confidence. After performing his song, he came off stage and "...When Diamond came off stage he remarked to Dylan, "You'll have to be pretty good to follow me", to which Dylan responded, "What do I have to do, go on stage and fall asleep?" This was the song Neil Diamond - Dry Your Eyes http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aM-MBECuBoc Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
