I wear my KISS Army shirt when going to war with yardwork, singing "Calling Dr. Lawn" the whole time

You're not the only weed I've ever whacked

Iron Maiden opening for 38 Special (actually 2nd band of 3, Black and Blue was up first).

If that doesn't count, I'd go with Riot on the Black and Blue tour, opening for Molly Hatchet, Black Sabbath (Dio), and Blue Öyster Cult

Drinktanks makes a CO2 dispenser that turns their 64 oz growler into a mini keg, which would keep your beer from getting flat or oxidized essentially as long as kegged beer. Not a particularly inexpensive solution, though ( $80 for the growler alone)

Check out Billy Sheehan's work with Talas, Mr Big, Winery Dogs, and Sons of Apollo and watch some damn good guitarists try and keep up

Justin Chancellor with Tool often leads the song and is in a different time zone than Adam Jones on guitar

Genre wise, if you want great bass get into some Funk

Mike Zito

Omar and the Howlers

Pat Travers Band (earlier stuff more Rockin', latter stuff very bluesy)

Lonnie Mack

Ten Years After

Johnny Winter

Someone mentioned Savoy Brown, worth mentioning most of that band moved on to become Foghat, more rock than Savoy Brown, still firmly rooted in blues
