The mighty Joe Strummer and Robert Fripp meeting for an interview.I Hope this counts as trivia, but as none of my punkish or progish friends seemed to know of the existence of this interview, I'm guessing that it's also new to a lot of you. It's very entertaining. http://www.elephant-talk.com/intervws/fripp-st.htm Robert's first comment in this also suggests how he kickstarted "Bandaid" from Geldoff too... ...probably...

When Peter Criss first left Kiss, a then fairly known drummer was asked to make an audition. At that very moment he couldn't go because he was in England, recording drums as a hired studio musician for whatever band, and Eric Carr eventually got the job. After that, his main band went on to be a one-hit-wonder hard rock band from the 80's.The drummer is Frankie Banalli, from Quiet Riot. -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

The movie studio wanted the song exclusively for the soundtrack, but Priest wanted it on Turbo, which at that point, was going to be a double album called Twin Turbos. The movie studio wouldn't budge, so Priest told them to fuck off.
Last time Priest came to Brazil, Glenn Tipton, in an interview for a local mag, admitted that was a huge misstep for the band, considering the enourmous success of the film. -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

Agreed, but a blockbuster anyway. It could have done marvels for the band, financially speaking. -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

Rumour has it that Don Dokken actually sang a big chunk of, if not most of the Blackout album. It's a known fact that Dokken were "discovered" by Klaus, Rudolf, et al. and that Don can be a dead ringer vocally for Klaus. After Animal Magnestism's extensive world tour, Klaus shredded his vocal chords so bad he had to have several surgeries to repair them. Polyps, nodes, scarring, the whole shit-shebang. For a while, it looked like he would never sing again, and when they went in to the studio to record Blackout, they did the vocals very slowly. Like a verse a day so as not to strain his throat. Don was there to provide backing vocals, but there's hints that he may have done more than that.

Yes. I love this thread too.When Sabbath signed their first record deal, they celebrated by hotfooting it to the poshest hotel they could find, sat and ordered themselves huge slices of gateaux, then on cue, shoved their slice into a bandmates face. Fripp fact, No. 34423 /B. On Bowie's song "Heroes" when Eno and Bowie listened back, they realised the song lacked something and ENO had one of his genius moments - called on Fripp who was flown in, listened to the song once and contributed my favourite guitar line in the world, then flew off back to Wimbourne.

Don Dokken also sings backup vocals on 'Tormentor' on the first WASP album. Whoo.

Truth or not, when Bruce left Maiden, there was that big contest for the replacement, of which only five finalists "survived" (in lack of a better word, that'd have to do). Two of them were Brasilians: André Mattos and Eduardo Falaschi. As we all know, Blaze got the job. André went on to have a moderate ammount of success with his own band, Angra, until he left the group. His replacement? Edu Falaschi!Believe it... or not! RIP Jack. -------------------- "Forty-five moments of perfection translated through a cautionary escape into the perils of the mundane, the inherent entropy in ultimate order, and the potential threats of eternal, unchecked apathy in civilization; all cloaked in musical expression so thoughtful, creative and forward thinking that almost a quarter-century later, few can even comprehend it, much less match it."

*bump*, indeed! Top facting. Only about a month ago Radio4(talk radio-UK) featured a programme written and presented by one of his fans and career-long friend Germaine Greer, no less! I'll just quote this anecdote of hers: "The piece reminds me how Frank could inject excitement into the most mundane occasion. Once at the supermarket, Frank was sauntering along behind as we two women pushed our trolleys and minded our own business. He was fetchingly clad in a violent turquoise coloured cat-suit which was unzipped to below the navel, showing a plentiful growth of silky black hair with no sign of underwear. A pair of shoppers became fascinated by this spectacle and began following him about, the woman tittering and making loud comments. Frank stood it as long as he could, and then turned to her and roared: "Eat! My! Shit!" She went white with shock. Her male companion, who weighed four times as much as Frank, threw a punch at him. Frank stepped back out of range, unfazed. He eventually talked his way out of trouble, but it took a while. Eccentricity amid conformity was the name of Frank's game; in Beverly Hills in the 1970s, eccentricity could be downright dangerous." Oh, how we miss him!
