Yeah, it's definitely Flav.
It's not a game show!
It was fun watching people dance to this..5/4 time IIRC.As a bassist, you gotta love Devo. In how many other bands does the guitarist double the bassline (and not the other way around)?
Yeah, 'playing'. Most likely miming on some TV show like "Top of the Pops". He never used a Rickenbacker in the studio or in concert, to my knowledge.
Thank you to all who are naming the artists/musicians/bands! Much appreciated!Unless it's a clear photo of someone obvious like James Brown, Elvis Presley, or Chuck Berry, it's not always easy to recognize people by just their photos, even if you're very familiar with their work (e.g., Rocco Prestia).
Sometimes the photo isn't sharp, or the subject is way in the background, or it's a photo of when the subject was much younger or older than when they were most famous, and thus hard to recognize. IMO, it's better to take a moment to type a name than it is to make us rely on an image search that may not even be accurate.

Nothing "crazy" about it. Just my opinion.Kidding! Kidding!
Don't go all crazy now.

Did the documentary go into how Crow's first released album was made?Just watched a pretty cool documentary on Cheryl Crow. It's always an eye opener seeing how much harder these women have to work in the business to achieve notoriety.
