What a load of spankers

Easy enough. Ten guitarists, faces covered. Just name those plank spankers. If you know the name of their band add that too!

ejaydee said...: Is 1 Frank Black, from the Pixies, or Black Francis for that matter?
and then is that Bo Diddley at 8?; May 15, 2008 at 8:05 PM
DarceysDad said...: 1, Frank Black.
2, James Hetfield.
3, ?
4, ?
5, Jimmy Page.
6, Kelly Johnson.
7, Jerry Garcia.
8, BB King.
9, ?
10,?

Only Page and Garcia I'm sure of.; May 15, 2008 at 8:53 PM
Anonymous said...: I thought Darceysdad was using his ow numbering system 'till I checked back and realised all the numbers have shifted from the relevant photo.

Anyhoo..my guesses, for what they're worth

3 = Eric Clapton
4 = Nigel Tuffnel, Spinal Tap. No don't laugh
5 = Jimmy Page
8 = BB King
9 = (Total stab in the dark) Rory Gallagher; May 15, 2008 at 9:17 PM
Anonymous said...: Oooer!

As Darceysdad just pointed out to me in a telecom, No 4 is probably a guitarist of the female persuasion (tho' it's not easy to tell, is it?). So, ignore my last suggestion.

Overall, my blogging experience this evening is not a very happy one so I think I'll sign out.
And I won't be waiting up tonight for the (non) appearance of the log. I'm just too knackered.; May 15, 2008 at 9:29 PM
Carole said...: We have #1 Frank Black, #5 Jimmy Page and #7 Jerry Garcia.

I think they were the easy ones.

Incidentally #9 is also of the female persuasion and although James Hetfield is wrong for #2 and #3 isn't Slowhand it is worth pursuing those lines a bit further.; May 15, 2008 at 11:22 PM
DarceysDad said...: Hmmm, Dave Mustaine for No.2 then, probably. That was my other choice, but the coin came down heads.; May 15, 2008 at 11:37 PM
Carole said...: Yup! Dave "coffee please" Mustaine it is.; May 15, 2008 at 11:41 PM
DarceysDad said...: 3 Jeff Beck?
9 Polly Harvey?
10 Frank Zappa?

I'm really just guessing now.; May 15, 2008 at 11:47 PM
Carole said...: no, no and no.

A few clues;

3 has a brother
4 is best known as a band member but also has a solo career and has a sort of link to #6
6 is better known for playing less strings
8 has a nativity connection (think laterally here)
9 sex and the city meets the godfather of soul and a monster
10 sex mad? west coast?; May 15, 2008 at 11:58 PM
DarceysDad said...: Gah.
4 will be Tanya, and 6 Kim presumably.

Is 3 an Allman?; May 16, 2008 at 12:31 AM
Carole said...: 6 is Kim Deal

4 isn't Tanya though.

3 is an Allman - but which one?; May 16, 2008 at 6:46 AM
TracyK said...: Kristn if not Tanya? They are very similar sizes and shapes, those girls.; May 16, 2008 at 4:53 PM
Anonymous said...: No. 8 looks like Freddie – rather than B. B. – King (that ain't Lucille, he's holding!).

No. 10 is, presumably, the chronically under-rated Randy California; May 16, 2008 at 5:49 PM
Carole said...: TracyK has got Kristin right! They are similar sizes aren't they?

and Mr DNA has correctly identified Randy California (incredibly chronically underrated!) and Freddie King - who I once saw at the Crystal palace Bowl supporting Eric Clapton and they did a few numbers together as encores. Amazing. He was so much better than Clapton.

Mind you, so was poor ole dead #3 who illuminated the Layla album with his brilliance.

I doubt many people will get #9 - but one of her songs has a relevant theme on this week's RR subject.; May 16, 2008 at 6:04 PM
TracyK said...: Ey! I think Kristin and Tanya are weirdly similar for girls who are only step-sisters. Both so beautiful and talented and, well, weird!; May 16, 2008 at 6:48 PM
Carole said...: OK, Looks like I'll have to name #9 - she is Carrie Brownstein of Sleater-Kinney.; May 17, 2008 at 2:24 PM
TracyK said...: Bums, should have got her, dammit!; May 17, 2008 at 3:33 PM
