| nitelite51 | I wonder where they got the look for Russel Hammond in "Almost Famous" from.... |
| 555LAKE | Actually from Glenn Frye of the Eagles. |
| bryan-ola | I thought Russel Hammond was supposed to be Duane even though he is identical to Dickey. |
| Kragh | Isnt the band in Almost Famous suppose to be like Led Zeppelin, well different of course, but they mostly based the band on them? |
| SmAllman | In "freebirds" you can read that the band from Almost Famous was based on lynyrd skynyrd. |
| Vincent | There are hints in the movie however that strongly suggest that it was the ABB; e.g. there is a photo on the boy's wall that is an exact copy of the Fillmore East cover with the faces of the guys in the movie band. |
| dougrhon | The band is a composite of many different band. The basic plot of a young music writer traveling with a band and experiencing what they go through is based on Crowe's own experience with the Allman Brothers Band. |
| Rick48 | <- Cameron & Dickie-> No? |
| horacegammet | There actually was a fairly well-known band from Warner Robbins (just south of Macon) in the late 70's called Stillwater. They were major label (forget which). "MindBender" and "Sam's Jam" were their hits. |
| jparadise | I have a hard time believing Russell Hammond's 'look' wasn't based after Dickey....look at him, its spot on. |
