Quote:Frank Zappa's another one .. I loved Frank Zappa ... I saw Zappa live a few times --- one concert some jazz guy opened for him, and tried to play "fusion" through Marshall stacks, etc. It really sucked. Then Zappa got on stage and completely BLEW THE OTHER GUY AWAY! It was so amazing. What a player!Ern

Quote:Hey Drew,Forgive my ignorance, but I thought Jimmy Page was a member of the Yardbirds for awhile.I'm sure he played on at least one of their albums... ?Yes he was a member of the Yardbirds for awhile! He played on many other UK records in the mid-60's, like the fuzzy solo on Donovan's "Hurdy Gurdy Man."Ern

So where do you all get these quips and factoids anyhoo? Your library cards must have the ink worn off... Got any history on Blackmore before Deep Purple?

Quote:Steve Howe is one of the greatest, most imaginative guitars players I've ever witnessed.Yes, he is! I'm a BIG Yes fan, and have seen them many, many times. Howe sure is unique stylistically. How many rock guitarists play through Fender Twins? Too clean, but perfect for Howe. And his slide/steel guitar playing is fantastic.Ern

Quote: I love 'em!You and me, both. I've collected quotes since I was a teenager, that's about a hundred years worth. But most of the music quotes come off the net. Type in Zappa or someone like that and you can read articles about them for hours (or days). Some of your music heros have amazing backgrounds. If fact, find a bio on Kristopherson, you won't believe everything you read about him, that man would be a legend without ever writing a song. Maybe I should go find some good quotes by him.
It's hard to make a comeback when you haven't been anywhere

Quote:all the doors wide open on a spectacular July day probably in 1975 ... soaking wet ... thinking the world is a wonderful place to be... with an acoustic 12 string ... those chords just oozed out." ~ Don Felder / Eagles That's funny. I could've sworn he nicked the chords from Jethro Tull.
