.....I didn't know he played on that / with them...

[Nom de ploom]

you learn new stuff very day....

I knew Steve Vai had palyed with Whitesnake and Dave Lee Roth but I didn't know he recorded "album" with John Lydon and Public Image Limited....

"Rise" is a brilliant track too...

well I never...

[celticpilgrim]

Planet Rock has a thibng called 'uninvited guest' where you have to find a person who guested on a reasonably famous rock track. they would be someone who you might not normally think of such as Elton John or Mary Hopkin (Bowie & Lizzy amongst others)Jimmy Page played on Petula Clark's Downtown

Or somebody like slash playing on an Alice cooper track..

I think it's pretty interesting

carly simon's your so vane with mick jagger on backing vocals.
kate bush-wuthering heights with dave gillmore on guitar.

What are you talking about Crispian!!

Guitar on Wuthering Heights was by Ian Bairnson from the Alan Parsons Project - who in fact formed the backing band on Kate Bush's first two albums.

Admittedly, David Gilmour did take an interest in Kate in her early years (well who wouldn't).

Spot on on all counts.

No way! I always thought it was Kate Bush's brother played on that track. You live and learn every day! That solo is one of those guitar moments when you can't see a way that it could ever have been more appropriate for the song. I go to bed content that I've learnt something today.

The fact Nuno Bettencourt has been Rhianna's guitarist for a long time amazes me...

I know.. she's clearly emulating playing bass, not guitar in that pic..


Elton John played piano, still as Reg Dwight, on The Hollies hit "he Ain't Heavy, He's my Brother'...

Rick Wakeman played piano on Cat Stevens 'Morning Has Broken', and keys on numerous David Bowie songs.

Eddie Van Halen played on most of Michael Jackson's Thriller album.

[Nom de ploom]

i think most ppl knew that tbh - apparently he laid the track down and the amazing solo for Beat It in 20 minutes. ledge.

[lockhart flawse]

Elvis Costello played the drums on the classic R Whites lemonade ad. His Dad sang it....

Jimmy Page played the solo on Tom Jones' It's not unusual...although I think that may be well known, Jimmy was a busy session guy for years before Zep.
