Very nice calm transaction with Bas, calmness especially appreciated when it transpired that the power supply for the MPC hadn't made it to him, and he was very patient while we sorted it. Great guy to deal with, I'm sure we'll do it again some day

Not the Hoople and Jeff Leppard are exactly the type of totally daft band names I was looking for when I started this thread, keep 'em coming
IIRC there's a Bagpipe band called the Red Hot Chili Pipers
I love the Eagles, but CCR, especially their earlier stuff, had a whole lot of soul that the more clinically recorded Eagles songs don't have. I think the Eagle wrote better songs, but CCR played better music
Another thread reminded me of the sheer joy of the well designed tribute band name (in that case Credence Clearwater Revival Revival). Let's have your favourites, and if you haven't got a favourite, make one up
Down on the Corner is one of the hardest songs I've ever played; sounds so simple, but very very very very hard to get the feel. CCR had a groove, Eagles were good, but never grooved. They came close, but never close enough.
Gary Tibbs was interesting, stepped out of New Wave straight into Prog, or however you'd define the Roxy Music of that era. Love his playing on the Manifesto album, especially this one, tight as a badgers orifice
