pfretrock Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 John Christopher Smith, although an excellent guitar player, never had his own band. He would often sit in for other guys and eventually changed his stage name to Johnny Depp. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yorks5stringer Posted January 6, 2015 Author Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) Well, that's over 10,000 views in 2 months which was my aim at the beginning. Cough, " I'd like to thank my family, my friends and most of all,you the Basschat members for helping achieve this". "Applause" I think this genre still has legs so will continue to contribute as whimsy takes me. I hope fellow contributors will also do so, and likewise readers. The rest, as they say, is history.

sprocketflup Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 (edited) 'The Mind Boggles' was the working title for a collaboration between Buggles (of Video Killed The Radio Star Fame) Nick Beggs of kajagoogoo fame, Jake Bugg of no fame in particular, Notorious BIG and the members of Pigbag (of Papas got a Brand new pigbag infamy) Thankfully, no one gave a t*ss tho so the project was scrapped. Quite right too Edited January 6, 2015 by sprocketflup Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Diablo Posted January 6, 2015 Share Posted January 6, 2015 The Kings of Leon have never actually been to Leon, and none of them are king either. In fact only the word "of" is not a lie for the bands identity. However the town of Leon in Spain does have a Mayor who plays lute and castanets in a local pub mariachi trio.

Diablo Posted January 8, 2015 Share Posted January 8, 2015 Everyone's favourite pop princess Kylie Minogue co-wrote & performed BV's on 5 Finger Death Punches 2013 and latest album, "The Wrong Side of Heaven and the Righteous Side of Hell, Volume 2" with two songs, "Cold" and "Time to Die", both inspired by a visit to the KFC on the outskirts of Bish Vegas*, County Durham. * A colloquial term for the market town of Bishop Auckland, which happens to be a sh*t hole.
