| July 30, 2008 breeze53 Men's 65 57 posts | What famous country western singer gave up his seat to the Big Bopper on the plane that crashed that killed Buddy Holly and all those on board??? |
| July 30, 2008 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | Waylon Jennings. |
| July 30, 2008 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | But I think he gave up the seat to Richie Vallens ! |
| July 30, 2008 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | As a young 15 year old his mother would not let him travel to England to play in the Jimi Hendrix Eperience. Later went on to create some great music of his own and I do believe later accuse Led Zeppelin of ripping off one of his riffs when Page put music to Stairway to Heaven. Who am I? No Googling. You get this one you know your rock n roll. |
| July 30, 2008 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | You are out of order mister! But I will allow it this one time. The Commish |
| July 30, 2008 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | And i believe the story goes that Led Zeppelin and Spirit toured together and Zepelin ripped the riff off from one of their songs. Don't know the guys name though. |
| July 30, 2008 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Yeah I'm out of order but I get a grace period, don't stress me Dave. Got the band correct. The guitarist is Randy California I heard some stuff on Sirius and forgot how good their songs were. Thanx for indulging me |
| July 30, 2008 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Sirius rule by the way! They did a whole show on Howard Stern on all the people Zeppelin ripped off. Seems they hardly did any original stuff! #6 I believe you are up. |
| July 30, 2008 breeze53 Men's 65 57 posts | YES #6 YOU ARE RIGHT ON BOTH COUNTS. SO FIRE AWAY WITH THE NEXY QUESTION. |
| July 30, 2008 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | I believe this falls under rock-n-roll, in the movie Rio Bravo, what two singers played in the movie, one maybe wasn't rock-n-roll, but the other was. |
| July 30, 2008 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Dean Martin and Ricky Nelson |
| July 31, 2008 #6 Men's 60 1173 posts | Dbax, your correct and your up. |

| Aug. 1, 2008 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | The Go-G0's The Bangles Velvet Underground White Stripes I don't know their specific names, if that's what you are looking for. Are you looking for a singer too? |
| Aug. 2, 2008 stattad Men's 65 235 posts | I guess I should have said in an otherwise male band. If no one comes up with it, I will give it to you. The one I'm thinking of was on a #1 record in the UK and #5 in the US in 1964. |
| Aug. 2, 2008 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | Can't believe i know this.... It would be the Honeycombs Have I the Right I am good! |

| Aug. 2, 2008 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | What is the most expensive production record in terms as a collectible and why? |
| Aug. 3, 2008 FreshFish 32 posts | Was it the one John Lennon signed for his killer just before he shot himoutside the Dakota Blg, NYC. ? |
| Aug. 3, 2008 Joncon 328 posts | By "expensive", do you mean "valuable"? I'm going with the original "Yesterday and Today" |
| Aug. 3, 2008 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | Fresh fish that is the most expensive but not for a production record. That is a one off. Joncon Yesterday and Today is the answer. Your still up but what made it the most expensive. |
| Aug. 3, 2008 Dbax Men's 65 2101 posts | First I would like to say that these are great questions. Joe, is it because of the famous Butcher cover that was under the original? |
| Aug. 3, 2008 Lecak Men's 60 1026 posts | The cover is known as the butcher cover. The Beatles wanted to do a protest about the Vietnam war and the cover showed them in bloody smocks with them holding meat cleavers and torn up baby doll parts. The album was released and immediate protest went up. The few hundred that made it to stores are known as first state and command huge money. The remainder were stickered over with a mundane copy. WIth some TLC the sticker can be pulled off and even these are quite valuable. In the late 80's I had a first state and sold it and built a complete backyard. Wish I stil had it. Joncon your up. |
| Aug. 4, 2008 Joncon 328 posts | Here is one from the archives stored for some reason in the depths of my brain. What was Lee Michaels' drummer's name? ****Lee Michaels was a one hit wonder 2 piece band in the late 60's**** ***The drummer's name is also asscciated with a modern fast food chain. I thought this would be REALLY trivial but google got it in the fisrt try. The inyternet/ Google is amazing. Personal R and R trivia. My first concert was Cream in 67 I saw Jethro Tull for 4 bucks at Phoenix College gymnasium. 68/69 I snuck in the Vetrans Memorial Colliseum to see Zepplin in 68/69 I climbed the fence @ Diable Stadium to see Janis Joplin in 68/69 I saw Deep Purple fo 50 cents @ the AZState fair. 68/69 68 thru 69 is a little fuzzy |
