Do you have a picture of your dog wearing sunglasses on your phone?

[null and void]

One internet to the first person to get the reference...

“Where’s XTC?”

Dear God.

Steve Lukather was on EVERYTHING in the 80s.

Even in Cheech and Chong movies.....(Yep, that’s him!)

Actually that’s one of the few XTC songs I don’t like.

The song it replaced on the original release of Skylarking, Mermaid Smiled, was a much better song.

I’ve seen Junior rip through the first few bars of Purple Haze. He’s just all kinds of awesome.

***The Grateful Dead: Your stories about the seventies make your daughter’s roommates at Tufts very uncomfortable ***

It might wreck the stories, man... so I'm guessing we probably shouldn't tell you Jerry's dead.

[BradyLS]

Indeed he is!

[Olog-hai]

And when you mention Kath, “Free Form Guitar” is always referenced. And how he was one of Hendrix’s favorite guitarists after ZZ Top’s Billy Gibbons.

Clapton was in Cream.

No Judas Priest mentioned though.

Surprised Heep made the list.

Steve Lukather played that hot lead on Randy Newman’s “I Love LA” with Jeff Porcaro (another studio musician on so many tracks including Steely Dan) on drums.

IIRC, the background vocals “We love it” were sang by Fleetwood Mac’s, McVie and Buckingham.

[dfwgator]

Where’s Zappa/Mothers of Invention?

[Michael.SF.]

The Kinks: You have bad teeth and are good in bed.

But either English or a solo act.

[newfreep]

Before Clapton was in Cream, he was in a British group called the “Yardbirds”.

When Clapton left, he was replaced by an unknown guitarist who called himself Jimmy Page...but he left to form a group called “Led Zeppelin”.

The 3rd guitarist was Jeff Beck, arguably the best of the three guitarists.

[dfwgator]

Lukather’s best solo was the Tubes’ “Talk to ya Later”, also he was to second solo on Henley’s “Dirty Laundry” (Walsh did the first solo)

[dfwgator]

I thought Page replaced Beck.

[BradyLS]

Steve Lukather even found time to play guitar with ASIA for their minor hit “Days Like These.”

[Psalm 73]

The Clash:You have a secret crush on Margaret Thatcher.

The Gang of Four:You have a secret crush on Joe Strummer.

[newfreep]

History is kinda hazy on that point.

I’ve also read Beck came after Clapton but left and was followed by Page who left and was followed by Beck, again.

There’s video that shows both Page and Beck on guitar...but i forget what song.
