Musical links

Played this at a rather drunken party, when trying to pick some music.

As long as there is a link, no matter how tenuous, the list goes on. One of our links was 'Eric Clapton - Layla was about George Harrison's Wife, George Harrison was in The Beatles', it is strange how varied the type of music becomes through the links.

I'll start to give you an example of what I mean...

L.A.Guns were briefly fronted by Axl Rose, who also fronted Guns'n'Roses.

Slash went on to perform with Velvet Revolver...

Who shared a frontman with Stone Temple Pilots...

...as a side project recorded with Army Of Anyone...

...who also performed with David Lee Roth...

...who once fronted Van Halen.

I think you get the idea. So let's see if anyone can carry on from VAN HALEN.

Van Halen for a short while had a front man called Gary Cherone.

In 2006 Gary and his brother Markus Cherone created their own tribute band to THE WHO,called Slip Kid.

Roger Daltrey The frontman with The Who appeared in the film McVicar. In the film there is a continuity error in which Daltrey is running up the road and passes the same Bedford van twice.
