music trivia

[mrtnmoon]

ok, there's bound to be a music trivia thread here, but my eyes started crossing after looking through 9 of 14 pages and I hadn't found one by then, so, here goes....

what guitarist got his start as a teenager playing in the band Santana?
bonus question: another famous guitarist wanted the same teen to be in his band. name him.

This is a great idea for a thread and I think you're right...there used to be a thread about music trivia but it got lost somewheres.
To answer your question...is it Mike Schon? from Journey?

I'm going to feel really bad if I killed your thread with my lines....

 

[mrtnmoon]

you didn't kill anything. I think one of the "problems", if you wanna call it that, is that there are just so many threads here, it's easy to get distracted. hell, I didn't think anyone was even going to play at first, in any of the threads I started, so I really like the "good thread" comments. thanks, and thanks for playing and keep doing it and don't get discouraged if there isn't immediate response. x 12
