If you fart consistently for 6 years and 9 months, enough gas is produced to create the energy of an atomic bomb

Hendrix made extensive use of a blackface Bassman amp for the masterpiece, Electric Ladyland. The Fender Bassman circuit was the basis for Jim Marshall's early Marshall amps.

Albatross the fleetwood mac hit was recorded using a strat, not greenies les paul, which he later sold to gary moore.

Gary moore recorded the solo for parisienne walkways using a cheap as chips rubbish ibanez that was just hanging around the studio.


Moore was running out of money and had to sell the Peter Green LP. Not sure how much he got for it.

The Wah or wah-wah pedal was invented by accident at the Thomas Organ Co. (which owned the Vox trademark at the time). They were trying to create an amplifier for wind instruments. When they discovered what they had, they thought it sounded like someone playing a muted trumpet. In fact, the first instrument they tested it with was a saxophone. Even after one of the engineers tried it with a guitar, they felt the best market for the pedal was horn players!!

Many of you have heard of the VOX Clyde McCoy pedal. Clyde was a trumpet player, not a guitarist.

And for that matter an Imperial pint is 20 fluid ounces, while I believe a US pint is 16 fl. oz. (is that right?). That, and the strength of some British style room temperature beers, explains the phenomenon of American visitors to UK pubs getting unexpectedly drunk on what they took to be moderate drinks orders.

Same sized pints in Ireland too. I wonder if StratmanSteve noticed that effect when he was drinking Guinness in Dublin recently?

Haha - indeed!

Here's a "did you know?" fact: three pints of Bishop's Tipple and Ceri's crawling around on the floor trying get his eyesight working right...

I've introduced one or two American friends to that one: "But hey, it's warm - and it moves like syrup! ... Help, I can't feel my hands!"

:D - C

Yes, a US pint is 16 fluid ounces.

The big questions are 1) are the measures "ounces" the same? and
2) what's used for the decimal point?

Yeah man, I know the feeling. Wow!! Powerful stuff.
My particular favourite is Oyster Stout. Try it with a steak.
They have some fantastic names don't they ?
Bishops Finger, Old Peculiar, it goes on, we could start a thread naming these.
Another "did you know" Madonna drinks Timothy Taylor's

Hehehe! Who the heck was this Bishop that got all the beers named after him?

Mind you, a lot of us Brits don't know that they have nice ales in America too. I spent a happy evening in NY once on something called Sam Adams Ale - would that be the name? Very pleasant.

Here's a good drinkers' "did you know?":

Charlie Watts, the Stones drummer, never really got into the drink and drugs till he was in his 40s. Then something clicked and he started getting wrecked big time. Way he tells it, he was really beginning to fall apart at the seams till one day Keith Richards said to him: "Man, you seriously have to slow down!" And Charlie said, "When Keith Richards tells you you're overdoing it, that's advice you have to listen to!"

Got him off the sauce, anyhow...

Cheers - C
