If this poll was done in England, Oasis would probably have twice as many votes as the next band. I've never heard of Eric B and Rakim!

I hope it's not a disappointment. I've watched the original so many times now, the Criterion DVD with all the deleted scenes is awesome. The autograph session where Paul Schaffer tells them to kick his ass because nobody shows up!

Originally there was quite a lot of audience screaming at the start. (Of course, the audience screaming version could be the one that was modified, and this one is the 'original')!

I know the Stones played the Club A Gogo a couple times when they were first starting out. I think it was Newcastle's answer to the Marquee Club. The Animals were the house band there for a while. I believe it's been demolished now.

There are many "classic rock" bands that are still touring with only one or two original members. The vast majority of the crowd wouldn't know the difference.
