Ah, but what link exists between the Metropolis Blues Quintet, the Yardbirds, the New Yardbirds and the mighty Led Zeppelin?

I'd like to se anyone (other than the esteemed poster known as Yardbird, obviously) answer that one.

Perhaps that they're all essentially the same band :)

Metropolis Blues Quintet was the name that was used for The Yardbirds' appearance in Antonioni's film, Blow Up, I think.

The Yardbirds became the New Yardbirds, which became Led Zep.

e2a: I have the Platt/Dreja book on the Yardbirds on my shelves somewhere - it's a good read and has a very comprehensive Rock Family Tree for the band.
 
How do you get from Simon and Garfunkel to the Clash in 5 moves.

1. Simon & Garfunkel - Paul Simon (obv) a member
2. Paul Simon - used Steve Gadd on lots of sessions (inc 50 Ways to Leave your Lover)
3. Steve Gadd drummed on Paradise by Aztec Camera
4. Roddy Frame of Aztec Camera played with Mick Jones on "Good Morning Britain"
5. Mick Jones (obv) was in The Clash.

:)

(I suspect the use of Steve Gadd is cheating :D)

What's the connection between Posh and Boy George?
Posh's maiden name is Addams
The Addams family had a member called Gomez
Gomez (the band) released a record called Get Myself Arrested
Boy George has gotten himself arrested a number of times.



That must be the one you're thinking of.
 
nope. kidnap. posh was the intended victim of a kidnap scam undertaken by some shady characters who were exposed by the scrupulous news of the screws, whereas boy george was recently convicted of kidnap after handcuffing a male escort who he'd invited back to duff up as he suspected him of nobbling his emails.
