zakk wylde had a brief stint with guns n roses as the guitarists together with slash! astig! heheheeh!

 

IIRC, he jammed with the gunners once in '95 after clarke left in '94. he didnt get on well with axl though. neither did the players who were to replace slash. makes for an all star cast on guitars though. chinese democracy features recordings from almost every guitarist that was with the band from robin finck, dave navarro, brian may, buckethead, and ron thal.

the only gunner left from the lineup slash was in, aside from axl of course, is dizzy reed.

Bass guitar pioneer Jaco Pastorius was killed by a bouncer after being caught trying to sneak into a Carlos Santana concert.

Eric Johnson's breakthrough virtuoso masterpiece "Cliffs of Dover" was actually recorded on a Gibson ES-335, not a Fender Stratocaster. But he almost always plays it live on a Strat.

Lenny Kravitz is half-white, half-jewish. His ex-wife is Lisa Bonet (of The Cosby's fame) and he owns a reputable studio in the Bahamas that is frequently booked by groups like The Rolling Stones and Sting.

sorta a correction: since most jewish folk are white, the other half of lenny's genes comes from his black mom. an actress, Rosie Roker (best known for her role as Helen Willis on the hit 70's sitcom, The Jeffersons.

Dave Mustaine and Kirk Hammett FEUDE

Mustaine's replacement within Metallica by Kirk Hammett resulted in bad blood between the two. Even though he has stated he "doesn't care Kirk took my job", he also noted "at least I got to bang his girlfriend before he took my job — how do I taste, Kirk?". He has also claimed that many if not all of the solos on "Kill 'Em All" were written by him and emulated note for note by Hammett, and in "The Art of Kirk Hammett" Kirk states that he was told to use Mustaine's existing solos as a guideline. In the Megadeth edition of Behind The Music, Mustaine stated that "now he sees how [Hammett] tries really hard" and "thinks he makes really good use of what talent he has" after stating earlier in that interview "I hear how much time James and Lars allowed him to solo, and said to myself 'God, he's horrible...' ". This feud has dropped off considerably in recent years, and Mustaine tends to direct his attention more on Hetfield and Ulrich.

comment naman tau kay miniong!!mgbigay galang din tau sa kanya

may show dati sa channel 13, where miniong villegas was the musical director...

of course gitara lang naman ang hawak nya at sya lang ang musikero.

ang highlight ng paggitara ni miniong noon sa show na yun, ay yung contest na ang mga kalahok ay mga senior citizens tapos si miniong ang nag provide ng music pag kumanta ang mga matatanda.

once though, ung isang contestant na lola...sa sobrang excitement, na heart attack habang kumakanta sa live broadcast....syempre di nakakatuwa yun.....pero forever connected kay miniong yun.

sya kumbaga ang huli na ka duet ni lola....condolence kung sino man ang relatives noon.

gumitara din si miniong kay apeng daldal sa cafeteria aroma.
