Ok. Describe the original/banned artwork for the GnR Appetite for Destruction album. Bonus points if you name the artist.

Ibby · 06-26-2006, 11:55 AM

Easy, the inner artwork, with the robot and the demon and the chick with the panties around her shins.

Right on, Robot Rape Scene by Robert Williams.

Was the guitar style named after Maybell Carter?

skysidhe · 06-26-2006, 12:13 PM

The meaning behind 'Led Zeppelin'? The name of the band.

Elspode · 06-26-2006, 12:26 PM

Isn't it Ibram's turn again?

skysidhe · 06-26-2006, 12:45 PM

sorry, I didn't read the rules, Passed over the rules or I'm an idiot or all of the above.

please continue

Elspode · 06-26-2006, 01:00 PM

I'm sure you aren't an idiot, m'dear. Myself, I'm not so sure about.

skysidhe · 06-26-2006, 01:11 PM

no , not you kind sir

Ibby · 06-26-2006, 01:30 PM

The guitar style in question is Travis Picking, named after Merle Travis.

Who played guitar in the song China Girl by David Bowie, who co-wrote the song, and why did David Bowie include it on Let's Dance?

Trilby · 06-26-2006, 01:36 PM

More importantly--how does Ibram know all this obscure stuff?

Elspode · 06-26-2006, 01:40 PM

Wasn't that Carlos Alomar?

Ibby · 06-26-2006, 01:42 PM

I know all this stuff 'cause music is my life. And at the moment it's manifesting itself as a Bowie fixation, hence so many bowie/ronson questions. I've got a few others up my sleeve though that ARENT bowie, so yeah.

EDIT: Not Carlos Alomar, no.

Elspode · 06-26-2006, 01:43 PM

No, Elspode, wrong!

Wikipedia sez Iggy Pop cowrote with Bowie in the 70's, and that it was resurrected and popified for Let's Dance.

I have no idea why it was included, though. Perhaps because Bowie was trying to kick smack at the time?

Quote:

Carter-style picking can be thought of as a blend of rhythm and lead. It is a technique named after Maybelle Carter of the Carter Family, who popularized this style in the group's recordings in the 1930's. Carter-style is characterized by playing the melody notes on the bass strings and rhythmic fills on the treble strings. This lets the guitar perform as both a lead instrument and rhythm instrument at the same time.
