Game for audiophiles: Identify this band: - Page 3

marvinbarcelona · 4th January 2004, 12:59

You mention nutter and music and instantly I think of Julian Cope.

Cylob · 4th January 2004, 13:12

Didn't Cope have a blood feud with his brother? Something involving shotguns in the Welsh vallies...

marvinbarcelona · 4th January 2004, 13:32

....more like LSD in the tea.

Have you read his autobiography? Funniest thing I've read for years.

it's funny, i think "devin townsend"

no idea who's in the picture, though.

DJ Egg · 5th January 2004, 08:52

so, you give up then?
you've probably never heard of him anyway

clue: an ex member of my all-time fave band

(lol @ Mark E Smith, hehe)

@ScorLibran
gonna tell us who guess4.gif is?
or a clue maybe?
(I take it my guess at Alvin Lee was wrong?)

ScorLibran · 5th January 2004, 09:46

Sorry DJ Egg, guess4.jpg is not Alvin Lee. It's the bassist/singer/songwriter of the band I have more tracks than any other of on my hard drive. 183, to be exact. Use the link in my sig, "Lossless Album Collection", and start counting.

(Don't worry, it'll be obvious.)

Or for anyone who knows what I like, saying the band is my favorite-of-all should give it away.

Here's a painfully easy one...guess5.jpg:

Cylob · 5th January 2004, 10:33

Above - Sting (ouch)!

Your other one Scor - is it matey from Pink Floyd (the one with the car collection)?

I was borderline between sting and billy idol, then I realised he was playing a guitar and it takes an ounce of talent to play an instrument which ruled Idol out of the running

/watch me be wrong...

DJ Egg · 5th January 2004, 10:52

Oh, so it was Roger Waters pulling a silly face.
Doh! Should've got that.
Not to mention that I didn't even notice it was a bass
(what with me being a bass player for 25 years)
though the pic is a bit dark (lame excuse).

Captain Sensible? Pull the other one

Tho' I did quite like The Damned between 1976 to '80-ish
But 'Happy Talk' was a shameful act, and enough to put me off the geezer for life.

Anyway, you know who my favorite all-time band are, so search their website for ex members. There's only about 50 to choose from. lol

H'W -> ICU = NT

Re: Sting
It actually looks more like Ewan McGregor

but nah, definitely Sting (also playing his bass, lol), not Billy Idol.

Mr Jones · 5th January 2004, 10:56

Nik Turner?

Figured it might have something to do with Hawkwind?, yes/no?

DJ Egg · 5th January 2004, 10:58

wOOt

Mr Jones · 5th January 2004, 11:03

Woooo, my turn...

NJK · 5th January 2004, 11:03

easy one for the brits

sorry jones seems we posted at nearly the same time

DJ Egg · 5th January 2004, 11:05

1) Ian Curtis R.I.P. (Joy Division) (yes?)
2) Toyah

Mr Jones · 5th January 2004, 11:06

Hah, egg wins the double bonus prize, yes, Curtis ( I knew I should have use the photo of him aged 10 ) and I was also about to write Toyah...

DJ Egg · 5th January 2004, 11:22

Must be my turn again.
Let's see who can name this allstar line-up then...

Cylob · 5th January 2004, 14:28

Is it the Travelling Wilberrys? Duberrys? Wilberrys?

/edit it can't be, I don't see Tom Petty.

Bollox.

I loathe this thread.

DJ Egg · 6th January 2004, 01:30

lol

Big clue. Think: husband of previous (he wearing the shades), ie. the pic of the artist directly prior to my post (read: artist=artitht / post=potht)

Guitar = main man = husband / he of the shades
Drummer = former Yes drummer
Bassist = played with Peter Gabriel band, plus sessioned for many many others
Lead singer/Rhythm guitarist = played with Zappa, Bowie, Talking Heads, Eno + more
Not entirely sure who the other 2 guys in the pic are, probably session dudes...

Band started out in 1968/9-ish, but the line-up in the pic is from the 80's reincarnation, where only the 'main man' is the original remaining member

ScorLibran · 6th January 2004, 04:19

OK...here's another one.

Quite possibly one of the greatest musical geniouses of our time.

taylormemer · 6th January 2004, 04:37

Very hot who ever it is....

zootm · 6th January 2004, 06:55

marilyn manson?

ScorLibran · 6th January 2004, 07:44

Cylob · 6th January 2004, 07:50

@egg - King Crimson?

ScorLibran · 6th January 2004, 08:24

I know it was. I just think it was classic to even jokingly compare her to Marilyn Manson.

DJ Egg · 6th January 2004, 09:13

Well darr! Of course it's King Crimson

Yay!

Another of my all-time fave bands

http://www.allmusic.com/cg/amg.dll?p...=B52o7gjyrj6ip
http://www.elephant-talk.com/
http://www.king-crimson.com/

Robert "Frippertronic" Fripp (aka: Mr. Toyah Wilcox)

Bill Bruford
Tony Levin
Adrian Belew

Past members:
John Wetton (Family, Roxy Music, Uriah Heep, UK, Asia)
Greg Lake (ELP)
Mel Collins (played sax/flute/clarinet for just about every band going in the 70's/80's, including Camel, Dire Straits, Clannad, Floyd/Waters, etc etc)
Boz Burrell (Bad Company)
etc etc

Now I know all you audiophiles have heard of all these musicians, yes?

Hmm, Scor's guess6.gif . . .

Well, if it isn't Prince in drag...

I don't think it's either of Courtney Love or Sheryl Crowe on a good day

Almost looks like little miss Brittany I guess

Lord knows

ScorLibran · 6th January 2004, 09:42

My demented sense of humor would be AWOL if I didn't post a picture of Brittany Spears in this thread. You win, Egg.

And now I promise I won't do anything like that ever again.

DJ Egg · 6th January 2004, 10:18

hehe. cool.

ok, here's an easy one (I hope)

Cylob · 6th January 2004, 15:39

Him on the left looks like Miles Hunt from the Wonderstuff.

Could be his old man's band. Something from the late 70's/early 80's.

Of course I'm babbling, I haven't got a f*****g clue!

NJK · 6th January 2004, 15:45

@dj egg

looking at all the equipment my guess would be

Emerson,Lake and Palmer

Cylob · 6th January 2004, 15:50

That was my guess as well....

ScorLibran · 6th January 2004, 19:20

I agree...ELP.

NJK · 6th January 2004, 19:26

so if it's right egg

here's mine

Cylob · 6th January 2004, 19:42

Easy......... Camel

NJK · 6th January 2004, 19:44

wrong

Cylob · 6th January 2004, 20:02

Anyway - what are you doing in the pic?

Did you wangle a back-stage pass?

NJK · 6th January 2004, 20:03

i could only dream about that-

marvinbarcelona · 6th January 2004, 22:22

Is it - Tooth, Hair, Tan and Whig? Classic prog rock group.

DJ Egg · 7th January 2004, 03:29

bleh, ELP

I'm shocked and outraged

Ok, Keith Emerson was always surrounded by keyboards
but not the whole band
ie. Greg Lake played bass and Carl Palmer was always surrounded by 20 drum kits

Nah, this lot were the grandfathers of all modern electronic music (ok, not including the likes of Stockhausen) and are still going strong today, though only the guy at the back in the pic is still in the band.

The dude on the left was only a brief band member, on one tour in 1975,
the guy in the middle was there from 1969 to 1986
and the main man with the bad hair problem, from 1968 to 2004+

Where ELP were ok, this lot were/are awesome!

I honestly thought the keyboards/synths were a major clue,
not to mention the filename.

hmm, spaceplay's pic . . .

I recognize them, but dang me if I can name them.
Give us a clue

lol @ marvin's Tooth, Hair, Tan and Whig

NJK · 7th January 2004, 05:44

@egg in light of your clue -= kraftwerk.

about mine they played in a major city in germany and named the album likewise
