JaiDee Posted October 23, 2014 Share Posted October 23, 2014 Classic, powerful Jah Wobble baseline on the intro to the song Public Image 1 Quote Link to comment
SiamSam Posted October 23, 2014 Author Share Posted October 23, 2014 wasn't it the amalgamation of 2 seperate bands? ( i forgot the names sam.........buffalo something and something springfield or vice versa) Buffalo Springfield producer Barry Friedman lived on a street that was being repaved. On morning he looked out his window and saw a steamroller parked in front of the house. The steamroller had a banner saying it was made by the "Buffalo Springfield Roller Company". The band needed a name and Friedman gave them the name "Buffalo Springfield". For what it's worth. 1 Quote Link to comment
