kaleb Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 When I read that Billy Gibbons is a vegetarian...I mean, c'mon! Who woulda thought? That guy is an enigma. He has the thickest tone ever, yet uses 7 gauge strings and has a very light touch. He has his own line of hot sauce and BBQ sauce, and he's a vegetarian.

quapman Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 When I found out Zappa didn't do drugs. That pushed up his wow factor immensely. and also explained how he did such complex ****. You can't do that stuff stoned... lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LHW Posted July 14, 2013 Share Posted July 14, 2013 When I recently came across a video of Eddie Van Halen recording a song for some soft-core porn scene...and then him just dropping the guitar at the end like it didn't matter. I mean, sure, it's his brand, and he probably gets them for free, but still...show some respect for the instrument. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bonzoboy Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 I was surprised to find out that when Jimi Hendrix was growing up in Seattle hardly anyone-especially family- called him Jimi or Jimmy,he was called Buster by just about everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rct Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 At a time when Betts was getting a lot of flack about some substance related type things he was having troubles with, he missed three shows that I went to. So everyone thought it was the drink or whatever, I guess I just accepted that that was prolly the case. His horse of a long time had died, he had gone home to bury him. rct Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobB Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 When I was passing through Arizona in the late '90's, I was certainly surprised to hear that Alice Cooper and Glen Campbell played golf together. :blink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaxson50 Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Eric Burden was the Egg man! Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker did an intervention on Eric Clapton when he was strung out on smack, drove to his Hurtwood mansion and stayed with him till he dried out.

Kaiser Bill Posted July 15, 2013 Share Posted July 15, 2013 Alice Cooper lives in Apache Junction and is a golf fanatic. When I worked for Bill Medley I noticed he had a child seat in the back of his Continental. When I worked for Freddy Fender, I never knew he drank until I saw him sober one night in Montclaire,Ca.

milod Posted July 16, 2013 Share Posted July 16, 2013 Well... Mother Maybelle may not have walked on water, but she was an angel. A guy whose music I love turned out to be able to be a horse's patoot in person. I think it's sad to consider folks "heroes" for their musical abilities. They're folks. All "folks," including us here, have an external persona we may or may not have crafted with specific intent - but I think fame and role in life often forces one into creation of of both an internal and external persona that likely is a bit more extreme than the average nine-to-fiver with lesser interpersonal activity. Some of us do our "show" consciously as an act, some don't realize what we're doing - or won't admit it. m Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

zigzag Posted July 17, 2013 Share Posted July 17, 2013 “I remember one time - it might have been a couple times - at the Fillmore East in 1970, I was opening for this sorry-a$$ cat named Steve Miller. Steve Miller didn't have his **** going for him, so I'm pissed because I got to open for this non-playing motherf(lo)cker just because he had one or two sorry-*** records out. So I would come late and he would have to go on first and then we got there we smoked the motherf(lo)cking place, everybody dug it.” -Miles Davis Miles was a jerk and a wife beater, but he was the master.
