Lick My Decals Off Lineup

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic


   The PA entry on Lick My Decals Off Baby by Captain Beefheart shows a band line-up that is horribly, horribly wrong:

- Captain Beefheart (aka Don Van Vliet) / vocals, guitar, harmonica, bass clarinet, Soprano/Tenor saxophone, drums, percussion
- Drumbo (aka John French) / bass
- Jerry Handley / guitar
- Douglas Moon / bass 
- Rockette Morton (aka Mark Boston) / guitar
- Antennae Jimmy Semens (aka Jeff Cotton) / guitar
- The Mascara Snake (aka Victor Hayden) / guitar
- Art Tripp (aka Ed Marimba) / clarinet
- Zoot Horn Rollo (aka Bill Harkleroad) / percussion, marimba
The actual lineup was (this is from Wikipedia, but other sources confirm):
Captain Beefheart (Don Van Vliet) - vocals, harmonica, saxophone
Zoot Horn Rollo (Bill Harkleroad) - guitar, slide guitar
Rockette Morton (Mark Boston) - bass guitar
Drumbo (John French) - drums, percussion
Ed Marimba (Art Tripp) - drums, percussion, marimba
Not only does the PA entry feature way too many musicians, it shows the musicians playing what are CLEARLY the wrong instruments, as any Beefheart fan knows.
