Showing Original Post only (View all)Post a "hard-to-answer" question about a rock musician/band & see if anyone knows the answer [View all]
Last edited Wed May 1, 2024, 07:19 PM - Edit history (3)
Hard-to-answer meaning a tough or difficult question about a rock & roll musician or band, (some fact not widely known)
My question:
In one of their early U.S. tours, The Rolling Stones performed at a venue which had electrical problems, with power going off several times. After the power came on one time, they started to play a song and the power immediately went off again, angering Keith Richards so much he broke his guitar on stage.
A) What was the city and the venue?
B) What brand & model was the guitar?
C) What was the song they were starting to play?
(Guesses welcome)
