Kerry plays all the guitar on that album. He must have been drunk. Kerry was in Megadeth for a short time.

The theme from Top Gun was originally going to be Reckless by Judas Priest. 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.

Before Megadeth Marty Freidman was in a band called HAWAII... you probably know that, but before HAWAII Freidman was a Baltimore Maryland boy and was the axe slinger in a local band called DEUCE. After Marty left DEUCE for eventual fame and fortune DEUCE changed their name to TENSION and released a damn good album titled BREAKING POINT. When Marty made a guest appearance on the Ace Frehley tribute album "Spacewalk" he got his old buddy Tom Gattis to sing the appropriatley titled KISS tune DEUCE.

that's all the trivia I'm sharing this morning... off to work

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.

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.

He's said that more than once in interviews.
He's wrong though; "Top Gun" is shit.
The metallic stomping in "metal Gods", which I'm sure a lot of you can recall to mind, was produced by shaking a silver tray full of cutlery.

Agreed, but a blockbuster anyway. It could have done marvels for the band, financially speaking.

Oh, another piece of trivia:

Sepultura's "Schizophrenia" cover was addmitedly inspired by Scorpions' "Blackout".

Here's a funny one.

Jeff Pilson - Bassist "Jörgen" (Dokken, Dio)
Jeff Scott Soto - Lead vocals for "Bobby Beers" (Talisman, Yngwie, Kryst the Conqueror)
Jason Bonham - Drummer "A.C." (Bonham)

...And for anyone who cares:

Michael Matijevic - Lead vocals for "Chris 'Izzy' Cole"
Jason Flemyng (Actor) - Lead singer "Bobby Beers"
Mark Wahlberg (Actor) - Lead singer "Chris 'Izzy' Cole"
Dominic West (Actor) - Guitarist "Kirk Cuddy"

PS: Marky Mark is gay, notice how he's the only one laughing

PSS: For those who don't know this is from a movie entitled "Rock Star" (2001), loosely (haha) based on Tom Ripper replacing Halford on vox for Priest.

Yes Mez, after the long break between 74 to 81 Fripp got Levin, Briford, and Belew together to form Discipline and actually did some gigs under that name, but soon realized that it was King Crimson reborn into this new form and thus changed the name.

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.

More Judas Priest trivia: Julio Inglesias was working at the same studio that Priest recorded Turbo at, and he heard them do Prisoner Of Your Eyes and wanted very badly to record it with them, but luckily this never actually transpired.

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

This Dokken stuff is funny, because I always considered him kinda lame, and really enjoyed watching the HEAR N AID video documentary when Dio told Dokken to add some aggression to his voice because this is serious stuff. I always thought Sebastian Bach was over rated but then to see him pop up in Slayer video when he comes into the bands trailer and hangs out... that man is very well respected among his peers... just goes to show ya I don't know shit. Never knew Dokken was so well received by his mates in metal either... wow.

B-U-P-M BUMP!!!

This thread is cool. Now I stumbled into an amazing piece of information, from Zappa's wiki:

On December 6, 1976, Zappa introduced Black Sabbath at their Madison Square Garden concert. This announcement is featured on a Black Sabbath bootleg album. He once declared Sabbath's "Iron Man" (Paranoid, 1970) the greatest ever rock track, he would later change his choice of track to "Supernaut" from the group's Vol.4 Album (1972) A jam was once organised featuring Sabbath and Zappa, but Sabbath pulled out of the project.

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.

*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!
