Do you know your pluckers?

xoxoxoBruce · 04-04-2007, 09:50 PM

This site has pictures of 50 guitar men. Can you name them?

Cloud · 04-04-2007, 10:01 PM

no. I can get, like 5

I'm bad at music trivia. Music has just never been that important to me--can never remember band names, member names, lyrics, song titles, or any of that.

cool site though!

lumberjim · 04-04-2007, 10:11 PM

yeah, that sucks. tiny little pictures......i need riffs, and band names and shit.

I demand a showdown between Flint and Ibram for the amusement of the rest of us!!

Spexxvet · 04-05-2007, 08:25 AM

17, but I think Clapton isn't registering, or something.

Spexxvet · 04-05-2007, 08:35 AM

Ok, I looked at the answers. I spelled Stevie Ray Vaughan incorrectly, or would have gotten him. I thought Duane Allman was Clapton - oops. I'm proud to have gotten Brian May and Jeff Beck. I should have gotten Joe Perry, George Thorogood, and Nils Lofgren. Some of the photos are misleading, like Daviv Gilmore, or unrecognizable, like Neil Young.

Hyoi · 04-05-2007, 11:30 AM

That was fun. Page and the lefties were gimmies. Yeah, it's a strong list, but some that might have been included are Leslie West of Mountain, Tommy Bolin of Zephyr, Luther Grosvenor of Spooky Tooth, Joe Walsh in his James Gang Days, Billy Gibbons of ZZ Top, and David Hidalgo of Los Lobos....to name a few. Yeah, old bastard jokes are welcome.

Pluckers? I thought it was going to be a chicken quiz.

Try this fast:

I'm not a pheasant plucker,
I'm a pheasant plucker's son,
and I'm sittin' pluckin' pheasants
til the pheasant plucker comes

Hard to see the little tiny pics and most of them have their mouths open like they're catching flies...so far I have BB and Santana.

xoxoxoBruce · 04-05-2007, 08:33 PM

I'm hearing an awful lot of excuses.

richlevy · 04-05-2007, 09:31 PM

Where was Esteban?

Ok, I got 9, mostly pre-1970's. I noticed some cases where there was no face, just a guitar. In some of the photos you had to know the photo because there was no features at all.

spoiler.

BTW, a lot of really recognizable faces like Elvis, Paul Simon, Bill Haley, Buddy Holly, etc, were missing.

BTW, who the ***k is YNGWIE MALMSTEEN?

Or the axe.

bluecuracao · 04-06-2007, 12:06 AM

Huh, I posted earlier, and it's not here now!

Anyway...I got 10--Bob Dylan, B.B. King, Stevie Ray Vaughan, Pete Townshend, Slash, Carlos Santana, George Thorogood, Ted Nugent, Frank Zappa, and Robert Johnson. I should have gotten 12, but I couldn't remember Dire Straits' guy, Mark (Knopfler's?) last name, and I though Johnny Winter was Edgar Winter.

Are you kidding? Even I've heard of him! (I couldn't pick him out, though.)

ravenranter · 04-06-2007, 06:15 AM

I got 17. I spelled Stevie Ray Vaughn incorrectly. Eric Clapton didn't seem to register for me either, Spexxvet.

And where the HELL was Jerry Garcia???
