Great piece of rock trivia: Blues Image's ("Ride Captain Ride") lead singer became lead singer for Iron Butterfly.
Egad!
Oh Lord, I hated The Firm! I was a diehard Led Zeppelin fan during this time. I always really enjoyed the bluesy rock of Bad Company. When I heard singer Paul Rodgers would join forces with Jimmy Page, I was ecstatic! A match made in 70s rock Heaven!
The result was soundly disappointing. Page's guitar playing had never sounded worse. (I later learned he was battling many chemical demons throughout the 1980s.) I don't know what they were trying to do short of sending Zeppelin/Company fans into severe depression.
That horrible single "Radioactive" makes me cringe. Great. Now it's stuck in my head.
I felt the same way about GTR. You had Steve Hackett from Genesis and Steve Howe from Yes. On paper it had great potential, but it fell flat.
Could be worse. Could be "Loving You" by Minnie Riperton.
Oops.
Or "Muskrat Love" By the Captain and Tennille. Now that is definately on the "Official Soundtrack of Hell."
I recall an album from the 1980s, a collaboration between Sammy Hagar and Journey axe-slinger Neal Schon. It was recored live and delivered an absolutely incendiary rendition of "Lighter Shade of Pale." Actually, the band was HSAS (Hagar, Schon and 2 other dudes I'd never heard of).
They only released that one live album and it was pretty good, IIRC.
Missing Persons plus Fine Young Cannibals
Barenaked Ladies plus Cherry-Popping Daddies
Michael Jackson plus Musical Youth
John Lennon and the Lennon Sisters.
Got me a new tagline.
I must add this one to my list of colorful colloquialisms.
You just know that Dan Blather is going to steal that line.
Bob Geldof and U2...
Egads, mentioning that song and a picture of Helen Thomas would be the post from Hell.
Different members of The English Beat were in General Public and Fine Young Cannibals.
And Michael Hutchence. They could be called Yates Mates.
Last I heard of Michael Hutchence, he was just hanging around.
BUFFALO SPRINGFIELD spun off CS&N,CSN&Y, POCO, and LOGGINS and MESSINA.
The guy who sang "Mr. Bass Man" as Johnny Cymbal, became Derek for a song called "Cinammon. "The American Breed" of "Bend Me, Shape Me", became "Rufus". Tony Girasi, who sang "Time Won't Let Me" with the "Outsiders", sang "Precious and Few" in a band called "Climax" [may have been the same band, different name]
