+TheOldfields Posted June 21, 2012 Share Posted June 21, 2012 (edited) Wasn't sure if it would count or not.... Let's change track a bit. Beatles song titles containing the word 'day'? How many can you name? (including when they where quarrymen and any words containing a 'day') Edit: I know 8. That'll get a ding unless challanged.

Pajaholic Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 This was hard as I misread the question and assumed that "Yesterday", "Eight Days a Week", and "Birthday" weren't allowed. So I could only get four 'definite' and one 'maybe'. However, including those: Good Day Sunshine Hard Day's Night Day Tripper A Day in the Life Yesterday Eight Days a Week Birthday I'm not sure of this, but they covered many classics in the early years, and I suspect that Buddy Holly's "That'll be the Day" might be one of those. If so, that'll be the eighth! Quote Link to comment
+TheOldfields Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 That'll be the day is correct, so you have a ding there. One you're missing: Things we said today. Quote Link to comment
Pajaholic Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 That'll be the day is correct, so you have a ding there. One you're missing: Things we said today. Now that you mention it, that one seems obvious The last answer included the Buddy Holly song, "That'll be the Day". Buddy Holly tragically died in a plane crash on 3rd February 1959, which Don McLean's song "American Pie" imortalised as "The day The Music died". Big Bopper and Richie Valens also died in that crash. However, two other musicians didn't get on that plane: one gave up his seat to the Big Bopper because Big Bopper was suffering from 'flu; the other lost a coin toss with Richie Valens. Your task is to name either of the above two musicians who didn't get on that plane. Quote Link to comment
+Betelgeuse Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Waylon Jennings was one of them - I'm not sure who the other was. He gave up his seat to the Big Bopper. Quote Link to comment

+Betelgeuse Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Moving forward in time... David Bowie has always been one of my favourite musicians and one of his most iconic songs, instantly recognisable by the guitar intro, is 'Heroes'. Who was the guitarist? Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well just watching/listening to "The Genius of David Bowie" on BBC3, and Heroes was just featured. They didn't mention the guitarist but they did say it was co-produced by Bowie and Brian Eno, so I'm gonna guess that Brian also played the guitar. Quote Link to comment
+Betelgeuse Posted June 22, 2012 Share Posted June 22, 2012 It wasn't Brian Eno... Quote Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I just googled it and I've never heard of him, although I have heard of the group he played with. Quote Link to comment
Pajaholic Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 I just googled it and I've never heard of him, although I have heard of the group he played with. Me too! I suspect that this question might take a while! ... Quote Link to comment
+MTH Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Snap No, not the group, I've never heard of him either. Quote Link to comment
+Betelgeuse Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 A clue then. Although the guitarist wasn't Brian Eno, he's known for his collaboration with Eno and has produced two joint albums with him as well as playing on two of Eno's solo albums and touring with him. Quote Link to comment
+drdick&vick Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 As an avid Bowie fan and also a keen fan of King Crimson I know the answer to this one. Robert Fripp Quote Link to comment
+Betelgeuse Posted June 26, 2012 Share Posted June 26, 2012 Ding! Robert Fripp aka the Wimborne Wonder it was. He's worked with many bands and musicians including Brian Eno, Peter Gabriel, Andy Summers and Talking Heads. He was in the original line up of King Crimson along with Pete Sinfield and Greg Lake Quote Link to comment

Just had another thought, after reading an article on "The Register" today which debunked a theory about microbes which could survive in the presence Arsenic, that article mentioned something about Phosphorus being essential to sustain life, I'm pretty sure that's true of the first 4 as well, so I'll go with :- "These are all essential to sustain life" Quote Link to comment
