Ok, but who came up with the idea? It seems to me a fairly odd concept; to have a movable bridge that will provide vibrato effects. Well, maybe not so odd. SO are Bigsby the first?

While that discussion continues undoubtedly...
Who originally wrote (and recorded) Whitney Hustons "I Will Always Love You"...it's another easy one, but just trying to keep the trivia going.

Dolly Parton wrote the song that Whitney Houston destroyed. Since someone already brought up "Beat It", who played guitar on Jackson's "Black Or White"? It's another easy question, but it shows that the guy does have some amazing guitarists on his recordings.

Every time I hear that Whitney Houston abomination, I collapse on the floor in a fit of laughter, amid flashbacks of Carol Burnett doing the Tarzan yell on her old TV comedy show.

I think Mustaine got kicked out because of his drinking, which is pretty wild considering Metallica used go under the alias Alcoholica. By the way the answer to my trivia question(Who played guitar on Black or White by Michael Jackson?) is Slash. He also played on a couple of other Michael Jackson songs, as well as albums by Iggy Pop and Lenny Kravitz.

It wasn't just his drinking. He was also very difficult to go on with. His even had Megadeth in therapy (the whole band) because he was that hard to get on with.
Slash eh? Didn't know that. These are great! Learning loads here. Great idea Zep, great idea!

Here's another one related to Hendrix.
What was Jimi Hendrix's real name? (I read it from a source that he made up his last name Hendrix for the 'visual effect')

his real name is James Marshall Hendrix

his dad was Al Hendrix


here's another one:

How many solos did Jimmy Page originally write before going with one the one on the track?
To improve technique and of course trying to keep all as clean as possible. I know my own limits and speed limits and so on I never play anything I'm not capable of. That wouldn't make any sense. After three years of playing I tried to play everything as fast as possible and that sounded, I would say, like shit, and I didn't realize that if I'd play bit slower things than I was capable of playing then everything would sound much better.

I read somewhere thatDave Mustaine got kicked out of Metallica cos he kicked James Hetfield's dog...

Maybe that wasn't the only reason, it could've been his drinking too, but that might've been the last straw

The originally wah-wah was actually a tone pedal for keyboard players ( i guess they where referred to as electric piano players back then )

Here's one for you Hendrix fans; WHO WAS JIMI TALKING ABOUT WHEN HE SAID "IF YOU THINK I'M GOOD YOU SHOULD CHECK OUT....."
