Scarily, the guy with the flames all around his head and legs, guitarist Steve Gaines, was alongside Ronnie killed in it. (As was his sister Cassie Gaines, and tour manager Dean Kilpatrick)

The cover was understandably withdrawn after the crash.

Mitch Mitchell, the drummer with the Jimi Hedrix Experience, did an ad for Jubbly (as in the original 'Lovely Jubbly') as a youngster in the early 60s. When he became famous with Hendrix Jubbly re-ran the ad for a while.

Am sure in his biography, Steve Jones claimed he played most all the bass parts for Sid.

Jimi Hendrix was left-handed and at the time he started to play the guitar, he didn't have a left handed one, so he strung his guitar upside down. Even when he became famous he kept playing on his reverted guitar.

Albert King was also left-handed, but played right handed guitars flipped over upside down.
