Rock's most under-rated guitarist:

Bingo

Man he could wail, what riffs.

Four banana, three banana, two bananas, one
All bananas playing in the bright warm sun,
Flipping like a pancake, popping like a cork,
Fleagle, Bingo, Drooper and not forgetting Snork

1. Josie (of Pussycats fame) was a lot cuter, though.

And who could forget that guy from "The WayOuts" in that one Flintstones episode?

3. What kind of guitar is that?

Hollow-body, single cutaway with a weird Fender-style headstock, inlays and 6, count 'em, SIX knobs!!

I must have one.

10. hahahaha

the 'E' one, "The Banana Splits; After the Music Died"? Yeah that was sad, who would have thought Fleegle, becoming depressed over his solo effort would join a monastary.

13. Then there was Snork's inevitable "World Music" side project,

The Plantain Splits, and their big flop album, "Haile Unlikely."

Quite sad.

22. And Fleagle's post-Splits career was just weak exercises

in genre expirimentation. His Country album, "Gramma Done Slapped Me, Mama," or his "New Age" attempt, "Gaia Farts" are prime examples.

42. Has Bongo emerged from the Scooby Doo Glue Sniffer's Detox Center?

I thought his glue-fume-induced "Variations on a Stink" was overrated. (The scherzo movement was good though.) :thumbsup:

18. Look at the fine print on the back of your old vynal, you may find him

Edited on Tue Dec-14-04 09:58 AM by havocmom

here and there. Studio musician for long time. Backed up some biggies from time to time, including, I believe, a group from Liverpool.

Saw him in person at a festival in Tucson. The man has good hands.

Edited to add: I need coffee; how do you spell that word for the old LPs? :D

going to post anything controversial again, I've learned my lesson. From now on it's puppy dog and cat threads for me. My avatar thing is a guy running out of toilet paper.

Note to self: change avatar to a cute cat.

Who could forget Jughead's version of In-Da-Gadda-Da-Vidda or that drum solo of Moby Dick.
