Favorite "They Played on THAT Tune?"

[Obese Chess]

Steve Vai on the video game theme song for Halo.

is this true..?
And is the R&S thing true?

Flea on Young MC's "Bust A Move".

Fieldy on Beethoven's fifth. Not really.

 

[Standalone]

Most of the Dead on Crosby's "If I could only remember my name" record.

Well, they're all pictured on the gatefold, so it wasn't a surprise, but it's one of my favorite albums.

+1 on that Jack Bruce solo on Apostrophe. I had thought on first hearing it that FZ was on the bass there.

Marcus Miller played on and wrote the famed go-go tune "Da Butt" by E.U.

 

[Basshole]

He was also on "Bust A Move"

Great feel on that line.

is the R&S thing true?

How about reading post #11?

Today I read an interview with Bernard Purdie. He said he played drums on a bunch of Beatle songs. He basically said that Ringo didn't play on anything! Can this be true??

 

[Basshole]

There's a LOT of tales regarding the fact that Starky didn't play on nearly any of the sessions.

Blew me away to find out "Bad Time to Fall in Love" was a Grand Funk song! I like the song - just surprised it was GF. They sure turned into popsters in the later stages of the band.

Purdie has been saying this for years. I very seriously doubt it. It's baffling he makes this claim. There are a lot of articles on the net about this dispute - read and decide, I guess. I say nay. Maybe he's been hanging around with Carol Kaye.

 

[Jumbotron]

Surprised that nobody's yet mentioned Bootsy Collins playing bass on DeeLite's "Groove is in the Heart."

Here's a weird one: Peter Gabriel played flute on Cat Stevens' Mona Bone Jakon album.

On Hendrix's version of "All Along the Watchtower," the acoustic rhythm guitar isn't played by him--it's Traffic's Dave Mason.

Could be, but I've heard it's true from industry insiders for YEARS.
