I forgot to tell you guys this. I was coming home from a Toots and the Maytals concert, and we took a cab back to my girlfriends apartment. The driver asked what we were coming from, and we told him a concert.

He said, oh you like rock music? I of course, said "hell yes." So he said, if you can awnser these 4 questions, you don't have to pay the fare.

1. Who sold the most albums in the USA?
2. Who sold the most live albums in the USA?
3. Who wrote the first Rolling Stones hit and what was it called?
4. Who was Jimi Hendrix's biggest influence?

I had the whole cab ride to guess. Which ones do you guys know? Keep in mind I was stoned at the time :)

1. Boston
2. Peter Frampton
3.
4. Billy Gibbons

I've been looking for Funky Kingston lately, you like that album ATM?

Yes, great album.

You got one of the questions right.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Yes, great album.

which did he get right?

1. michael jackson?
2. peter frampton
3.
4. err, im ashamed to say that i dont know either of them

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Yes, great album.

Whitch one was it?

And if it wasn't the Hendrix one, I would have to say Muddy Waters.

According to the driver:

Eagles
Frampton
2 of the Beatles, can't remember which :/
Bob Dylan

I'm pretty sure the Peter Frampton answer is correct, and Jimi Hendrix had supposedly stated that Billy Gibbons is his biggest influence, but maybe I'm wrong.

dylan? really? probably shouldnt be surprised since he did cover two dylan songs. but still.

[QUOTE]Bob Dylan[/QUOTE]

Okay, I was wrong (I was thinking guitar)...you duche.

And I believe Boston had the most succesful debut (or something) until Michael Jackson came along. The Eagles sounds right.

I was guessing blues guys, and finally I guessed Dylan. It could be Gibbons, though,

Gibbons came after Hendrix.

Hendrix's main blues influence was Buddy Guy, but apparently Hendrix was obsessed with Dylan.

Buddy Guy is (one of) my hero(s).

Same here, after watching Festival Express. He ROCKED that place.

Some of Jimi's lyrics were influenced by Bob Dylan. Obviously not songs like Foxy Lady and Purple Haze though.

Chuck Berry was a big guitar influence for him.

3. Paul McCartney and John Lennon whote "I Wanna Be Your Man" which was the Rolling Stones' first hit


EDIT: Hey, Livewired's back :D

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Same here, after watching Festival Express. He ROCKED that place.[/QUOTE]

Were you refering to Buddy Guy? If so, I need to check out Festival Express, even more.

EDIT: Welcome back guys. :)

Yea, dude. Check it out if you like Buddy Guy.

[QUOTE=rock not roll]I'm back too, fux0r. :angry:[/QUOTE]

li3k omgZ s0rry :lol:

[QUOTE]Gibbons came after Hendrix.[/QUOTE]

Does that matter? No!

Jimi Hendrix strongly endorsed Billy Gibbons when he first came along, and Hendrix even stated that he was one of his biggest guitar influences.

[QUOTE=ArrestThisMan]Yea, dude. Check it out if you like Buddy Guy.[/QUOTE]

Oh, I DO.

[QUOTE=Badmoon]Does that matter? No!

Well, actually it does matter. It would make more sense for his biggest influence to come when he was beginning to play guitar/make music seriously, forming a band and cutting an album. He was already majorly influenced by the time Billy Gibbons came along.

It does matter slightly, but appartently, his major influence came after he had even made it.

Billy Gibbons? The guy from ZZ Top? How would he infulence Hendrix?

Sorry, this is off topic but do you know who's guitar tone I am completely JEALOUS of?

Eric Clapton.

I was listening to 24 nights and Sunshine of your Love is superb.

The guitar tone is amazing.

[QUOTE=Illmatic]Billy Gibbons? The guy from ZZ Top? How would he infulence Hendrix?[/QUOTE]

How should I know? All I know is that Hendrix stated that he was a major influence.

I love Santana and Brian May's tone.

I know this is cliche, but the tone in the solo to Bohemian Rhapsody is AWESOME.

[QUOTE=MalcolmYoungRock]I know this is cliche, but the tone in the solo to Bohemian Rhapsody is AWESOME.[/QUOTE]

I concur. Bo Rhap might be my favorite song of all time

Jeff Beck and Eric Clapton have probably my favorite tones. And you can't deny Gilmour's on Echoes and SOYCD. That's amazing right there.

And I forgot SRV's. Awesome.
