  I'm not sure.  I think the narrator said that one succeeded the other.  I 
forget who he said was first, but I think it was Jimi Hendrix.

> Did they both play guitar?

Yep!

   I'm not sure if either actually recorded tracks with the band, which 
was the issue of (friendly) dispute in the original thread.  My info 
originally came from another "Where Are They Now" thingy (also on 
VH-1, I think) where I'm sure Joey Dee said that Jimi Hendrix played 
on the "Peppermint Twist" session.  The guy to respond to this should 
be Brian Phillips, who has a better grasp of time sequences, internet 
references, personnel and track listings than I do...
