What prog band was Hendrix considering joining shortly before he died? The invitation was offered.

Why, ELP of course (making it HELP). Ha.

Wasn't it that Emerson objected because of his experience in The Nice?

Tommy

nice job keith!
 

Yes it is Tony. Can't fool a Tull fan!

Wasn't Mitch Mitchell to be the drummer instead of Palmer, and he was all drunk, etc? That's the story I heard. It was to be HELM.

OK. Next teaser!
 

Which are the odd ones out and why.

1) Night of the Shamen, Heaven Stone, Village Dance, Snake Goddess.

2) Octave, Days of Future Past, The Present, On the Threshold of a Dream.

3) You, Camembert Electrique, Angels Egg, Flying Teapot.

Three correct answers wins.

1) Night of the Shamen - it's the only one not composed of two words
2) The Present - it's the only one that doesn't have a word starting with the letter 'o'
3) You - it's the only one not composed of two words

Smart arse !
 

True but not the answer we're looking for.

Try again..............

1) Heaven Stone is the only song not on Distant Echoes
2) The Present is the only album without Michael Pinder
3) Camembert Electrique is the only album not part of Radio Gnome Invisible

Abso-bloody-lutely!!!
 

That's it Bob!

Over to you for the next one...................

What band did Steve Walsh leave to join Kansas?

This is tricky!!!
 

Bob,

I can't find any info on this in any of my books. How about a clue??????

Please!!!!!

Rodney Roberts of the Jimmie Van Zant Band was also a member of the band. I'm not sure if that will be much help or not.

That gave it away (I think)
 

My Father was in "The Black Watch" regiment when he was in the army.

That's it.

Steve Walsh
 

was in a band called "The Skipper and Marianne" where he dressed up as the Skipper from Gilligan's Island and did handstands on his keyboard at all gigs. Marianne was Marianne Faithfull, who is really Britney Spears' mother.

No?

April Fools!

Just how many Van Zandt's are there anyway???

Next Teaser!
 

What links:

1) A trip to the movies, A Saloon at Dusk and A fight in a Wood East of London?

2) An optical illusion, Nakedness and A stock-still tourist?

3) A state handout, Don't sit down!!! and A musician on a balconey?

Explain why.

Too easy???

Re: Next Teaser!
 

1 - Genesis - Cinema Show, Twilight Alehouse , Battle Of Epping Forest
2 - Camel - Mirage, Nude, Stationary Traveler
3 - Jethro Tull - Benefit, Stand Up, Minstrel In The Gallery

Nice one prgdirjim!!
 

Absolument!!!

Set a reasonably difficult question, eh?

Mine are obviously too easy!!!

I don't think it was too easy - it took a full day before someone got a response.

Mine will be based on Aural Moon of course. Name:

2 artists from Portugal
1 artist from Estonia
2 artists from Israel
and 1 artist from Bahrain

all of which we feature on Aural Moon...

Portugal - Forgotten Suns, Saga
Estonia - Kaseke
Israel - Zingale, Ashqelon Quilt
Bahrain - Osiris

hmm, I don't think Saga is from Portugal - I thought Canada - everything else is right.
