Let's spread some musical misinformation

Well trained roadies are required for explosive metal bands. Also very strict rules apply.

I am pretty sure that roadies are legally obliged to smoke a pack of cigarettes a day, as well as gargle with pebbles to give "testing, one, two, sibilance" sufficient gravitas.

The next great wave in heavy metal is explosive metal. Instead of guitars and basses, carefully tuned explosives are used to produce the notes. The beat is provided by carefully timed firecrackers.

This will give 'firing' the drummer a whole different meaning.

I thought gavitas was made with flour, milk, water, a little pepper and salt. Then you pour it over biscuits. Amirite?

Not in this country. Here it's made with dead animal stock, and I'd never dream of pouring any on my hobnobs.

I'm pretty sure Spinal Tap already had this issue.

Spinal Tap are really from the UK...

EBG does not refer to electric bass guitar, but the Yorkshire exclamation aimed at a new-fangled, musical doohickey "Eee, by gum"

Fender did consider making a guitar for the Yorkshire market, the Tadcaster, which was much like a Broadcaster, but not so fancy. The matching bass was to be the Lancaster, a P bass with only the bass side of the pickup as there's no point in wasting money on a whole pickup when you'll probably never use the other two strings.

Fender showed that he failed to understand the Wars of the Roses with this choice of names as no Yorkshire band would have a Lancastrian instrument in it, and vice versa, and no London band would have either.

Kraftwerk is so called as it was originally formed as the house band of a food products factory in a 1970s experiment to see if music would improve production. During the period of the EU wine lakes and butter mountains Brian Eno was brought in to craft ambient music to slow production back down. House music was introduced in the 1980s to maximise production again.

Right! They are one of the best Metallica tribute bands of all time.

Said Lancaster was meant to become the Sid Vicious signature bass after the pistols' second studio album... ...which never came.

Metallica is a Spinal Tap tribute band.

This is actually important, as it points out regional differences in how gravitas is served. It also shows a difference between how one uses dead animal parts verses flour, yet can make sufficient gravitas with either method.

Fender should have known that in the English market, the Lancaster would have bombed....

No, the Lancaster bombed in Germany. Most of them found their way back to England. The few that remained in Germany were destroyed or disassembled.

Lemmy faked his death. It was all a ruse to allow him to spend the time required on his Bangles tribute act.

Only Jack Daniels knew, because their turnover didn't plummet.

Keith Emerson died around the same time, so presumably he's in the band too. They were friends, after all.

All those rock stars that died young just faked their deaths. Jimi Hendrix went on to have a lucrative career as Michael Jackson.

Hmmmm... MJ and Jimi were around at the same time, and everybody knows that Jimi don't dance -- right Jimi?



Uhhhm ......Jimi?

...who again faked his death and now lives a silent life as shoe salesman Griff, somewhere in Chicago.
