[edit] SNL affair

i just wanted to mention that lee ving didnt call anyone a homosexual. the lyrics of the song "new yorks alright (if you like saxophones)" say "new yorks alright if youre a homosexual" and if youll notice he moves away from the mic when he says it.

You're right. I fixed the quote. But the second time he sings that line he says it loud and clear. It's only the first time he pulls away from the microphone. My theory is that it was in the middle of that song Ving realized they weren't going to get to finish their set, so he quit toning it down. --Osbojos 06:46, 16 May 2006 (UTC)

[edit] "Can't you afford..."

Doesn't the quote go something like -- "Who let all you longhairs in here? It's 1980, can't you afford a fucking haircut?" This seems to imply he was talking to the whole audience, not a particular member. -- Robb

[edit] Line Ups

I corrected the line ups. Flea played bass between "The Record" and "More Beer". Also, there were a number of bassists between 1986 and 1993, none of which were Flea.

[edit] Line Ups II

You're right, Flea was FEAR's bass player for most of the time inbetween those 2 albums. Although, in the time between Derf and Flea there was Eric "Kitabu" Feldman (from Captain Beefheart and Pere Ubu amongst others) who was part of the band briefly towards the end of 1982. It was him who appeared on the 'Fuck Christmas' single, not Derf.

From the 'Eric Feldman' discography section of the Captain Beefheart site in reference to Fuck Christmas:

    • "EDF played bass on this one-off collaboration. The band were between bass players, and he (credited as Eric Kitabu Feldman) was a friend/room-mate of the drummer (Spit Stix aka Tim Leitch)."

[edit] 1983

I see that someone added 'Joe Colwell' as FEAR's lead guitarist in 1983. Could someone please provide some sources for that, because I'm pretty big on FEAR and I've never heard him mentioned anywhere. Thanks for that. Wadey4 11:41, 25 May 2007 (UTC)
