Let's spread some musical misinformation

It was only after their first album, that Steve Harris was told that his extra long scale, 4-string guitar actually was a bass.

Everyone thinks that Iron Maiden was named for an ancient torture device. However, in reality, Steve Harris was a big supporter of Margaret Thatcher. They met at a West Ham United game.

Also, listen carefully to Katy Perry's next album. She is also a West Ham fan and as a result Steve Harris will be playing bass on future albums. Negotiations are still underway to determine if he will be touring with her.

As the name Iron Lady was copyrighted by Margaret's management, they went for Iron Maiden. Funny detail, right now I'm wearing the Fear of the Dark shirt.

It's the candy corn that makes his mascara run.

John Deacon thought Freddie Mercury's original lyrics for "We Will Rock Ourselves" were far too-self centered and made Freddie rewrite them to be more fan-oriented.

It is said that the private version had the word "rock" replaced with the f-word.

Getting to know Nita Strauss (formerly of the Iron Maidens) and her history, Alice Cooper has put together an Alice Cooper tribute act of midgets - the Mini Coopers.

Alice Cooper, in a former life, went by the name of Alice Wheelwright and made an honest living making wagon wheels for the King and his retinue, until the lager got the better of him and he became fixated on the production of beer barrels, let himself go entirely, and changed his name to Cooper.

Alice Cooper has written several songs about mourning wood.

Wait! Isn't that song written by David Bowie and Peter Straker?

Cables MUST be wrapped in a clockwise fashion. If they are wrapped counter-clockwise, the electron spin will go against the flow of the cable and reduce output.

Of course, this is reversed in the southern hemisphere. Magnetic field, you know.

True. That is why the opposite of clockwise is referred to (in some circles) as "clockfoolish".

Mary Poppins was lip-syncing to a Milly Vanilli studio outtake of My Favorite Things, during the filming of her eponymous blockbuster, according to Rorters. When the mainstream press got wind of it, all heaven broke loose: Poppins was apprehended by the Thought Police, or was it the Keystone Cops — hard to tell — and her umbrella and mittens were unceremoniously confiscated.

When she begged to know why, it was revealed that Milli Vanilli had requested her brolly as compensation. No one told them it wasn't a magic flying parasol and they were planning an autonomous umbrella-powered holiday to the Bahamas. Mortified, they swallowed their pride and still had their holiday. They settled instead on Jersey and they took a cab.

And the mittens? That's another story entirely. Before we go any further, No. There were no kittens involved, not directly anyway, according to the Thought Police who made no further comment, citing tangible threats of copyright infringement proceedings and a pile of extra homework.

No kittens were harmed in the making of this misinformation. Milly Vanilly may be a little miffed, and, for that, we apologize.

Jazz chords never include a 5th. It is seen a metal note and so is never used. This makes music confusing for aficionados of jazz metal.

This SO begs the inevitable question:

What's the best bass for jazz metal?

Or metal jazz, for that matter...?

The best bass for Jäzz Mëtal is a Music Man
For Metäl Jazz (pronounced metal yäzz) is any hollow body bass.
