Another Body Murdered: "Another Body Murdered" is a song created as a collaboration between Faith No More and Boo-Yaa T.R.I.B.E. for the soundtrack to the 1993 film "Judgment Night".  It was released as a single on October 25, 1993.  It was the first recording by Faith No More to not include guitarist Jim Martin.  Despite him still being in the band at the time, bassist Billy Gould performed guitar for the record instead.  The music video was directed by Marcus Raboy.  Despite charting in a few countries and being released as a single, this song has never been re-released on any Faith No More compilation albums apart from the UK only 'The Works' 3 disc boxset.  It was also used as the theme song for the professional wrestler Samoa Joe.

He plays guitar, pedal steel, piano, violin, dobro, hurdy-gurdy, mandolin, saxophone, the theremin and many other instruments.  According to Colin Meloy, as stated at the Pilgrimage Festival in Franklin, TN on September 27, 2015, Funk was originally given the middle name "Ryman" but a clerical error on his birth certificate resulted in his middle name being recorded as "Lyman."

Carl Bell (musician): Carl Bell (born January 9, 1970) is an American musician, producer, arranger, engineer and mixer.  He founded the multi-Platinum selling hard rock band Fuel.

He has penned hit singles such as "Shimmer", "Hemorrhage (In My Hands)", and "Bad Day" as well as many other songs.  He also co-produced all Fuel records including the Grammy nominated Natural Selection.

Barend: Barend or (somewhat dated spelling) Barent is a Dutch male given name and occasional middle name.  As of 2014, there are over than 4,000 men in the Netherlands with this as their first name, and nearly 3,000 with it as their middle name.  It was likely derived from Bernard.  Notable people with the name include:

Latvian name: Latvian names, like in most European cultures, consist of two main elements: the given name ("vārds") followed by family name ("uzvārds").  During the Soviet occupation (1940 - 1991) the practice of giving a middle name was discouraged, but since the restoration of Independence Latvian legislation again allows giving of up to two given names and it has become more common to give a middle name to children.

Joe Walsh: Joseph Fidler Walsh (born November 20, 1947) is an American singer, guitarist, and songwriter.  In a career spanning more than 40 years, he has been a member of five successful rock bands: James Gang, Barnstorm, Eagles, the Party Boys, and Ringo Starr & His All-Starr Band.

The Death of Speedy Ortiz: The Death of Speedy Ortiz is the first LP by American indie rock band Speedy Ortiz, self-released digitally in 2011 and on cassette in 2012.  The LP was recorded during the summer of 2011 as a side-project while lead-singer, guitarist Sadie Dupuis was working at a camp teaching songwriting.  It is described as "patchy, sardonic" "bedroom experiments" that show styles ranging from "eerily distorted folk, shambling banjo ditties" to more common associations with a sound reminiscent of underground 90s indie rock.  Dupuis wrote and performed guitar and vocals along with every instrument on the album which included “bass, drums, piano, cello, banjo, sound treatments, etc.” The album sets the precedent for later works but is notably Lo-fi in comparison as Dupuis self-recorded the entire album.

Tomohiko Kira: Tomohiko Kira (吉良 知彦 ) (December 6, 1959 – July 3, 2016) was a Japanese guitarist who led the band ZABADAK.  He also composed the original music for the 1988 cult horror film "Evil Dead Trap", and performed guitar on soundtracks of the role-playing video games "Xenogears" (1998) and "Chrono Cross" (1999), playing the opening and ending themes on the latter.  He later recorded an album with the singer of the ending theme from "Chrono Cross", Noriko Mitose.

Middle name: In several cultures, people's names usually include one or more names in addition to the portion that is usually considered adequate to identify them.  In a number of cultures where a given name is expected to precede the surname, such a name is likely to be placed after the given name and before the surname, and thus called a middle name.  In English-speaking American culture, that term is often applied (arguably mistakenly) to names, occupying that position, even if the bearer would insist that that name is being mistakenly called a "middle name", and is actually (to mention several types of atypical cases):

The Best (band): The Best was a short-lived supergroup featuring Keith Emerson (of Emerson, Lake & Palmer) on keyboards, John Entwistle (of The Who) on bass and vocals, Joe Walsh (Eagles, James Gang, and solo fame) on guitar and vocals, Jeff "Skunk" Baxter (Steely Dan, the Doobie Brothers) on guitar, and Simon Phillips (the Jack Bruce Band, 801, the Jeff Beck Group; later of Toto) on drums.  Relative unknown Rick Livingstone sang lead vocals (along with Walsh and Entwistle).  Backing vocals were provided by Hamish, Angus and Fergus Richardson of the band Brother.
