Interesting Facts About Your Favorite Bands

Oasis' Noel Gallagher is dislexic. When writing Dont Look Back In Anger, Noel gave Liam a choice of singing either that or Wonderwall, and Noel would do the other. Liam tried DLBIA, and sang 'Dont Look Back Anger'. Noel asked him why he hadnt sung 'Dont Look Back In Anger' and Liam said something along the lines of 'Well thats not what it says here chief'. All hell ensued :lol:

Aye, cos McLaren's wife recommended a singer called John, referring to one of the other two and McLaren hired Lydon, only learning later that, in fact he wasn't the John that Westwood referred to who was one of the other two.

Soundgarden - Cornell was originally the drummer for the band and it was NBA star Larry Bird who convinced him to start singing lead after he heard Chris doing some backing vocals at a gig. Larry remains one of Soundgarden's biggest fans.

The Strokes - The president of the their online fan club is the nephew of Cheers star George Wendt.

The Killers - The song Andy, You're A Star was written about Andy Dick who Brandon Flowers grew up idolising.

Haha, these sound made up to me. What the fuck would Larry Bird be at one of their concerts for? Also, nobody grew up idolizing Andy Dick.

Pearl Jam originally wanted their band name to be Mookie Blaylock in reference to a famous basketball player,

but for legal reasons they could not. They paid tribute instead by naming their debut album "Ten" which was his

number.

Lol.

I remember this.

Mookie was a damn good point guard too..

speaking of members of rhcp who loved heroin, frusciante's new album leaked earlier today.

i'm liking it--might end up liking it just as much as niandra or curtains.

the first song is ill; it's almost maggot brain-esque. and you can really hear the influence omar rodriguez-lopez has had on him in a few of the tracks.
