sheltie dave Posted July 20, 2004 Author Share Posted July 20, 2004 Gullah, you are sharp! He was the guitarist whose place in the band was relinquished to Martin Barre. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

garymd Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I have 1 Black Sabbath lp (Paranoid) and about 25 Tull lps. Couldn't find a single match! Gullah - You should be on Rock n' Roll Jeopordy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
samoth Posted July 20, 2004 Share Posted July 20, 2004 I was fifteen years old in 1975 when I heard the newly released Sabatage LP. It kicks *** like my B&K MOS-FET amp matched to my Forte 2 speakers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Frzninvt Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Since we are doing Rock N' Roll trivia, what did Bon Scott do for a living before becoming the lead singer for AC/DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sheltie dave Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 Powdermonkey Gary, he was with Tull for the recording sessions right before Barre came in. They had a good portion of the songs in the can, and then Ozzy talked to Tony, and adios. Here are a few more... Name the prominent name these bands used before they settled on their final name- The Beatles(easy) CCR Grateful Dead(Gary has to name three) Yes Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchist Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Hello, Is this Revisionist History 101? Tony Iommi was never a 'member' of Jethro Tull. Earth (Black Sabbath) was already formed. Tony agreed to be an emergency fill-in for the departed guitarist and played guitar on one song on the album and made an appearance for their tv. Auditions were being held to find a guitarist to join the band - Martin. It was not Ozzy who talked to Tony Iommi, it was Tony Iommi who went and got Ozzy.

sheltie dave Posted July 23, 2004 Author Share Posted July 23, 2004 Anarchist, no revisionist history, just differing memories of the principles from a time 35 years ago, ala Lennon and McCartney arguing over which two songs they first played together when they first met. BTW, Tony has more musical ability in his nail trimmings than Ozzy ever dreamed about, so I'm more inclined to believe the version you know of. One of my favorite money winners is how many songs did Jimmy Page play on for Herman's Hermits? It ALWAYS gets the Zep fans so lathered up they can't conceive of him ever being a studio musician that played on whatever would pay him for the week.

hwatkins Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 As to Yes - I remember Mabel Greer's Toy Shop and the internet search tells me that a precursor to MAbel was The Syn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hwatkins Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 As to CCR - I remembered the Golliwogs. The internet says: 1959 - The Blue Velvets Tom Fogerty and The Blue Velvets The Vision (very short time) The Golliwogs (quite a few years) CCR Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anarchist Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Oh, thems fighting words Mr. Dave. Ozzy is THE man. His solo career after Sabbath showed who knew what was up while Tony languished in mediocrity. Revisionist or not - Tony was never a member of Tull; he was, as you so wonderfully referenced, merely a paid studio musician to hold them over till they selected a new guitarist. Ozzy! Ozzy! Ozzy!

hwatkins Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Grateful Dead - no recollection, the internet search says: Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Band Warlocks Grateful Dead This is excluding Garcia's various relationships with other bands before getting the core together. Ok - I cheated and used the internet and did not validate so feel free to slice me off at the ankles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gullahisland Posted July 23, 2004 Share Posted July 23, 2004 Ozzy has charisma, yes, and makes a good front man. But please, don't give him too much credit as a "MUSICIAN". Sheesh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One correction: It was "Mother McCree's Uptown Jug Champions." The Warlocks is correct. Back in the late 80s or early 90s they came back and did a few small shows as The Warlocks so as not to attract huge crowds. Can anyone tell me what the names of 2 of Garcia's bluegrass bands were in 1963 and 1964? Band members? Anyone who can tell me at least the names of the bands will get a copy of one of their shows. Talk about hijacking a thread! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
