Thunderbirds are named for the legendary phoenix; a bird that is reborn from its own ashes. The thunderbird label was chosen, as the wood used to make them is reclaimed from naturally occurring forest fires.

Let's spread some musical misinformation

AutoJam is also "berry" good on toast, and goes "grape" with peanut butter. It does not, however, contain actual autos...
Jams are so called as they developed from afternoon dances in late eighteenth century England. Whilst the gentry went off to discuss how much money they received each year and eligibility for marriage, the band would try write some new material after high tea featuring scones with cream and jam. In Devon the jam is put on last, and this term won out over the term 'cream' which instead respects the Cornish scone serving customs. The band featuring Eric Clapton tipped its hat to this failed contender.

We have been pronouncing the word incorrectly for over 200 years. It is not 'geetar' but actually the 'gooeytar', so named because it should be covered in jam to work properly. The spelling was used by Johnson when compiling his dictionary, but without pronounciation notes.
Players of brass instruments can play power chords by vibrating their upper and lower lips at different frequencies.
The mouth piece of a good kazoo features facilities to tune the upper and lower part separately, so chords can be easier played.
Before anyone asks, this is the best kazoo for metal:
But jazz players prefer this kazoo:
I am a bit hesitant to reveal this so i'll put it this way....have you ever seen Elton John and Buckethead at the same place at the same time?

You will disappear soon enough. Exposing the great music conspiracy is dangerous. Ever notice that Paul McCartney and Simon Cowell are never together either?
Simon Cowell and Britney Spears (the heads of the music conspiracy) are already after me. I have nothing to lose.
In the end the big boss (Alice Cooper) decides if the executioner (Gene Simmons) will end your miserable existence.
This is true. But did you know that by humming whilst doing this, brass players can also reproduce the third (always a major third, for some unknown acoustic reason, probably having to do with the length of tube being blown through) AND a seventh, which can be manipulated to be either M7 or min7 by scrunching up the corners of the mouth.
Alice only does what Madonna tells him. As for Gene Simmons, he is just a puppet. The real power of the office of executioner lies with Joe Walsh.
