Guess the name of the band from the picture.

You got it! Good one.

I think you gave a little too much away on the hint.

Anyway this should be easy.

eviltimeban

I didn't want to hold it up any longer!

Oh, and Dream Theatre.

Knew that would be a quick one!

I'm almost tempted to give it to h3000 for the correct spelling.

Do. h3000, over to you. I can't think of anything at the moment anyway.

I can't either so someone else can jump in.

eviltimeban

OK, this is ridiculously hard.



And its not the Beatles.

donegal.

johnny Gentle ?

eviltimeban

That's a picture of Johnny Gentle alright, but that's not the answer. The clue is pretty cryptic tbh.

h3000

Gentle Giant?

eviltimeban

Nope.

rolliepoley

Clue?

eviltimeban

Ok, well, it sort of requires an in-depth knowledge of the Beatles. What band name was inspired by anything to do with the Beatles and Johnny Gentle?

rolliepoley

Silver Beetles

eviltimeban

You're getting closer...

rolliepoley

Johnny Gentle and the Silver Beetles?

eviltimeban

No. No Beatles, silver or otherwise, or Johnny Gentle. Completely other band.

eviltimeban

So have I killed the momentum of the thread with this one? Should I just give the answer or do people still wanna have a go of it? Or should I give more clues?

I showed it to one poster who isn't on here and he got it immediately so its doable!

h3000

Real shot in the dark hear and only because they were fans of the Beatles. Is there any chance it's The Byrds. You know birds eat beetles


I think it might be a little too difficult to be honest. Not having a go at you but I think the clue should relate a little closer to the picture than the musicians history. Maybe stick up another pick to give us a clue.

rolliepoley

Ramones?

eviltimeban

Yes!! Well done. Now explain to the class how you got it.

rolliepoley

From your clue, johnny Ramone, the Beatles used to have nicknames for them selfs and i think McCartney had Paul Ramone.

Yes, well specifically on the tour where they backed Johnny Gentle, they all used assumed names (this was pre-fame). Paul indeed was Paul Ramon.

He took it further with his "Ram" solo album with the song "Ram On".

Hence, the Ramones.

rolliepoley

Strightforward clue, i wont be around later.

Terry Hall.

eviltimeban

I don't get it.
