I know Thin Lizzy covered Rosalie, but Motorhead? Nevermind,Brian Robertson was in Lizzy and Motorhead,so that's fixed that...and of course,Wurzel of Motorhead played with FC.

John Sykes was also in Lizzy, and Whitesnake.
Three members of Whitesnake were in Deep Purple and via Deep Purple you've got the entire population of musicians in the world connected (including me!).

Hope Pete Frame is getting all this down.

Very nice, Gary!!! I dig it.

Okay, Salmonella Dub....

Salmonella Dub have recorded with the New Zealand Symphony Orchestra.
The NZSO collaborated with many Split Enz members, including Tim Finn, on the ENZSO project.
Tim Finn appeared with Dave Mattacks on the second 801 album, 'Listen Now.'

I'm fairly sure most any musical road out of New Zealand will be on the back of an Enz member (particularly a Finn brother).
