Pretty sure it was Clapton.

 

[saint808]

CC Deville?

 

[Razorguns]

TJ Walker?

 

[Mr. dB]

Mayfield?

That was going to be my guess, since their rhythm styles are so similar.

 

[Mr. dB]

Pop Staples?

 

[Longhorn85]

The answer is: Bo Diddley.

 

[Cuthbert]

forget his name, but the dude from ZZ Top

 

[Longhorn85]

Can anyone guess which Army unit he served in?

 

[Dial_tone]

He was a paratrooper so I'll take a wild stab at the 101st.

Billy Gibbons. You know what? I think you may be right.

 

[Longhorn85]

Correct Dialtone (you old man). What was Gibbons doing in the sixties?

 

[Zebo]

Opening for Hendrix? I think it was the Moving Sidewalks or some name....

 

[onerepmaximum]

Does anyone know what he was named by his mother before his dad came home from the military and changed his name to James Marshall Hendricks (no that's not a mis-spelling either) Chas Chandler changed the spelling to Hendrix on the flight to England where Jimi got his feet wet.

 

[daveyboy]

I know this is pretty pathetic to say but didn't he used to open for The Monkees at one time? Don't say it cause I know what you're thinking & I agree.........they couldn't carry his jock.

 

[onerepmaximum]

He went on tour with the Monkeys, don't know who opened. It didn't last long. He played with the Isley Bros, and Little Richard as part of their bands, too.

 

[The Ranger]

Can anyone guess which Army unit he served in?

The good ole 80 Duece...<Ranger runs around room singing, he wore a raspberry beret>

Heh heh heh

You guys know that Lemmy from Motorhead was a roadie for Jimi once?

 

[The Ranger]

God love Lemmy, fucker is richer than dirt, yet still has that midget-thing on his face for the world to see...I swear, if you look between the hairs on that thang, you can see it smile and watch it's heartbeat....heh heh heh
