Rock & Roll Trivia

[slyc_willie]

Sting's real name is Gordon Sumner.

Neal Schon came to Journey from Santana, as did Gregg Rolie, who was technically the original lead vocalist, & wrote or co-wrote some of their stuff. But then you could mean Robert Fleischman, who was the first official lead vocalist, & co-wrote early classics such as "Wheel in the Sky".

Right you are.

However, Fleischman was with Journey for less than a year, in 1977. Journey had been around for a good five years before that, with Greg Rolie on lead vocals, who left before the band went 'big time.'

It was about that time that Steve Perry (the bastard) took over and paradoxically advanced and nearly killed the band.

Per Beatles drummers:

I read that Paul McCartney was a better drummer than Ringo and he played on some of their later work when Ringo didn't show up for sessions.

Corey Hart(Marty McFly)

 

[slyc_willie]

Eric Stoltz (Marty McFly)

I'd heard that as well, and Stolz may have tried out for the part, but that's not the answer I was looking for.

Hint: think sunglasses.

Yeah, you got it. Corey Hart it was. Weird, huh? he turned down the role because he wanted to concentrate on his music. Worked out well for him, didn't it?
