Who played the guitar hook on eminem's massive breakout hit My name is?
Chas and Dave!
More pedantry then, as Chas plays the piano and Dave plays the bass which one was playing the guitar? (Yes, I'm sure like most musicians they both play multiple instruments)
For extra pedantry; Chas played the guitar, Dave played the bass and Labi Siffre was on the keyboards.

Another baby robin dies!!!! 😈
I am assurred (by my French wife no less) that in this case capote refers to a coat although it is true that in some cases it can be used to refer to a hood (which is similar to a hat but not quite).
