Let's spread some musical misinformation

Geddy used to out rotisserie chickens into his amps but the amp techs bought him some rotisseries because sometimes they'd get left in the amps and would stink out the tour van

It's like ELP. It was originally to be called HELP and be a Beatles cover band but the H fell off the outside of the venue and dropped on Hendrix and knocked him out. Faced with no guitarist they had to improvise a set based on stuff Keith Emerson knew from The Nice. The stuff about Hendrix choking to death was caused by him passing out weeks later due to the injury he sustained. That then required that ELP remain a three piece covering old Nice tunes and stuff by Copland et al.

At one point, they also considered a band with Dave Edmunds and a young David Lee Roth. The acronym would have been "LEPER." For obvious reasons, their management nixed the idea.

The first guitar was chewed out of maple...by a badger. The strings were pasta. It was fretless and had 2 strings tuned in 5ths.

We all knew that though.

It was a pretty good bass
Those Badgers knew it too :?)

Many unscrupulous people make knockoffs of these excellent basses using chipboard and a Staffordshire bull terrier. They then attempt to pass them off as the real thing

Cream's big hit was originally called "Badger" but had to be shortened to Badge when legal troubles over the Badger guitars ensued.

I came home one day to find my staffy
Chewing on some IKEA flat pack furniture. I can only assume this was an attempt to defraud the bass buying public

Those old spaghetti westerns were called that because they were directed by Chef Boyardee.

Those old spaghetti westerns were called that because they were directed by Chef Boyardee.

At the start they tried other names like Macaroni Westerns, Fettuccine Westerns and even Ravioli Westerns before they finally decided on 'Spaghetti Westerns'
