Snake Oil?

Sometimes the obvious ones are staring you in the face..."Needs a Name". Job done, now move along, nothing else to see.

[b]Apology[/b] Could I apologise to all frequenters of this thread? When I mentioned "12 year old wannabebassists", I obviously was not talking about you, after all some of you are 14. To those of you who have PM'd me to complain and the [s]65[/s] 66 wanting the ap, I'm afraid the money is non-refundable, read the Terms and Conditions buried in the small print. Oh, and to those complaining about the spelling and grammar, get a life! Merry Christmas from all at the Alternative Rock Factfile.com

Britney covered the Travis song “Hit me Baby one more time” dressed in her school uniform. Following rumoured enhancement surgery, bands used to preface their cover version of this song with “Britney has her knockers, but we still like her”. Britney has had a troubled career but has put that behind her and now soponsors the Brit Awards. Regrettably one past winner died of drink and drugs and another has not sung live now for 3 years.

[sub]Groove Armada have called it a day due to health issues. Andy Cato explained, " Had the technology been available in 1588 I'd have worn hearing protectors but all the canon fire in trying to invade the England of Elizabeth 1st has affected my hearing so much I can no longer mix down our tunes" Andy is hoping to transfer his grooving skills and hopes anyone who wants a groove cutting in a seat or piece of wood such as a Dado Rail or even a Tongue will track him down.[/sub]

[quote name='Diablo' timestamp='1419325696' post='2638680'] Of course, I wouldn't want to ruin such an encyclopaedia of rock knowledge such as this thread by posting made up rubbish. I'm going to campaign to have this entire thread carved into granite and installed in an air tight chamber on the moon. It shall be archived for evermore** Back to rock facts: Wonga puppet look-a-like Charlie Watts was recently featured on an episode of Antiques Roadshow. He was valued at £750 but Fiona Bruce suggested there were a number of fakes around so this one should be sent for independent verification. **If I can't raise enough funds for the moon this thread may end up being printed out and stuffed into my office cupboard until the next clearout. Or I get cold and burn it for fuel. [/quote] Thanks for the heads up re the Campaign .Once I've finished the ap I'm working on ( big news for Dec25th) it will tie in nicely. Do Google Maps have one to the Moon?

[quote name='Diablo' timestamp='1419287621' post='2638490'] Super-cool poptastic beanpole Sophie Ellis-Bextor is over 7 feet tall. At the age of 15 she was only 4ft 3" but concocted a medicine in the shed of her next door neighbour, Roald Dahl, and the rest as they say is history. [/quote] Sounds a bit of a tall story? You sure this is a fact? This may need independent verification as we can't have any old crap being posted on here.

[quote name='Japhet' timestamp='1419269410' post='2638192'] The Blind Faith classic 'Can't find my way home' was written by Stevie Winwood as a tribute to his favourite racing pigeon Nigel, who failed to return after being released near Wakefield in 1974. Some say he lost his sense of direction due to an ear infection, but others insist he simply couldn't stand Eric Clapton and did a runner. [/quote] Surely he didn't "do a runner" but simply "winged it"? PS Yes, I knew your name was Surely too....

Cheery "It's Christmaaaas" Popsters "Slade" were formerly called "Ambrosia Slade", due to Bassist Jim Lea 's fondness of Ambrosia Creamed Rice. He ate so much of it that he carried a small dessert spoon around his neck on a chain and used to tuck into a cold can in between sets.

Is it any good for Metal?
