Let's spread some musical misinformation

Avatar was originally about blues music, until Billy Joel got involved.

None of The Irish Rovers were from Ireland. They're all from Scotland.

I thought they were from Toronto...

 

[ZenG]

No...you're confusing them with the Beach Boys. All of the Beach Boys were from Toronto except Mike Love, who is from Brampton,Ontario.

The Doors were originally named the Windows, until they were sued by a time travelling Bill Gates.

I always thought they started out as the Gates.

 

[ZenG]

The Rolling Stones were originally called " Mick's Gigantic Odyssey"...

 

[Jay2U]

The Ramones started as the Romans.

 

[ak56]

The Ramones started as the Romans.

Dee Dee Ramone was supposed to be Ed Roman. The 'a' and 'o' became reversed because Dee Dee was dyslexic. The first name, 'Ed', was corrupted when the dyslexia struck again, reversing the order, and the double 'ee' and repetition of the 'Dee' were because he stuttered.

 

[ZenG]

Dee Dee Ramone once said that for song inspiration he would stick his finger in a live 110v lamp socket...

Bill Gates went back in time a second time to threaten a second lawsuit.
But Jim Morrison went, "Hey, a gate is like a door in a fence"--and the rest was history.

Fretted basses were intended for beginners.

 

[ZenG]

Fretless basses were invented by beatniks in 1958. Just so they could be different from mainstream society.

You didn't have to know how to play bass....so it didn't matter what note you played on the neck or where on the neck you played it.

It was just freeform stream-of -consciousness jazz back up to someone doing spoken-word poetry.

Jack Kerouac made public his admiration for the fretless.....but it was discovered later that in secret he listened to The Crewcuts..his favorite group.

10 % of the population has DNA from the legendary drummer BaDumTish....

The first day Columbus landed in Haiti, BaDumTish beat him in an arm wrestling match.
