I had to give myself a theme to write these, so apologies for dorkiness. :0

1. This 1960s psychedelic rocker was replaced by David Gilmour after erratic behaviour and drug use led to his departure from the band he founded.

2. What is the etymology of the name "Guns n' Roses"?

3. This 90s Britrock band carried on as a three-piece after the unsolved disappearance of guitarist Richey James.

4. In September 1986, bassist Cliff Burton was killed when his band's tour bus crashed between Stockholm and Copenhagen. What is the name of the band?

5. Popular Japanese band L'Arc~en~ciel saw the departure of its drummer Sakura in 1997, just before the release of their single "Fourth Avenue Café". What was the cause?

1: Syd Barrett
2: The last names of founding members Tracii Guns and Axl Rose (full names required because I know how these guys think by now - "Mr. Rose and... uh... Mr. Guns!").
3: Manic Street Preachers
4: Metallica
5: Sakura's arrest for cocaine possession.

Done! This calls for a beer (6.2%, I'll have you know, I scoff at the watery stuff. :D). Also, I've nearly finished compiling my 30 Kisses Mix, and weirdly enough I like it better than almost anything I've done recently.
