Hi all,
I'm so sorry I let the time lapse so long on this! I'm at a very busy point in my life! Anyways... I think I might have asked this question on the old board, but here goes: This singer was the frontman for the band Squeeze and Mike and the Mechanics. Name him! |
You did ask before it's Paul Carrack (an aside: I know he sang their biggest hit "Living Years but did he sing "All I Need...." or did Paul Young?)
|
Not sure Pan... you're question, sir!
|
Ray Davies is coming out with his second solo album so this maybe a good promo question....
What VH1 show was developed by his late 90's stage appearances? |
I'm going to take a wild guess, I no longer have cable so I'm not up to date on VH1- "Behind the Music" ?
|
My SWAG (Scientific Wild Assed Guess) guess is "Storytellers"
|
How about "Pop Up Video"?

When his "Unauthorized" Autobiography came out he went on a book signing tour that eventually became "Ray Davies Storyteller/20th Century Man". That led to him doing a shortened version on VH1 and the show "Storytellers" was born. |
I'll lob a softball out to try and capture some new blood to the thread.
Alright, everyone. Hands on buzzers... Renowned film composer Danny Elfman founded what band with his brother in 1972? |
What, nobody but GoT and I know that Danny Elfman was a founding member of Oingo Boingo?
I'll wait for confirmation, even though I'm almost entirely certain I'm correct. I need to come up with a new question anyway. |
Well, I knew it, but I thought we were waiting on someone new to come along. :shy:
|
Yes Martian, you are correct. Danny and his brother founded "The Mystic Knights of the Oingo Boingo", later shortened to just Oingo Boingo
Looks like we had no new takers MM :sad: Oh well, jump in next time. |
well, i looked at the Q, and didn't know the name, so I'm new, but dumb.
|
Keep looking in this thread Leto, you'll find something you can answer.
|
Oh, I hadn't realized we were trying to draw some fresh blood in. Very well, I throw another easy one out there.
Tom Morello is widely known for his innovative guitar techniques, used to good effect in both Rage Against the Machine and Audioslave. However, he also writes acoustic folk songs. He does so under what alias? |
It's all good Martian. New blood is welcome anytime.
Truth be told, I threw out a softball question because it was the only thing I could think of at the time. |
The Night Watchman?

*ahem* I mean, that is correct. He actually spells it all as one word, but there's just no way I'm going to be that much of a pedant. Your question, sir. |
Who was the punk rocker who ran for Governor against Arnold Shwarzenegger?
|
Jello Biafra?
Sounds like something he would do...and I would have voted for him. Total guess, though. |

wasn't the punker a woman?
|
Nope.
|
man, I'm totally stumped...
wild guess Lee Ving? |
Henry Rollins
|
Nope, and Nope...
|
John Doe?
|
Nope...
How long should I let this go? |

can we ask for clues?
was this person from the west coast scene in the late 70s/early 80s? |
Most definitely, west coast, and during that time period.
|
Ok That one was probably a bit too obscure. Jack Grisham of True Sounds Of Liberty (T.S.O.L.) was the answer. He lived down the street from a girl I dated in High School.
Who did the lead vocals on Bob and Doug McKenzie's song "Take Off"? |
Lame, I knew the Jack Grisham one. I'm almost twelve hours late though. Damn my tardiness.
|
Damn. I know that group, but I've never known the names of any members of the band.
I almost said Keith Morris from the Circle Jerks, but I knew that couldn't be true, lol. Next question! |
Quote:
That would be Geddy Lee of Rush (eh?) - I knew I would get one: Lee guest starred on the Hoser's hit tune, Take Off, while Doug & Bob provide background. I have an advantage in that my father was a teacher at the high school where Rush members were students. As for TSOL, I was a punker in the late '70's, but must confess to not knowing them. |
T.S.O.L. was big on the west coast, especially in Long Beach, CA. where they are from.
Geddy Lee would be correct...your up Leto |
Which group did Nils Lofgren start out with (long before he hooked up with the E-Street Band)?

ya, game on Anxst... (Neal Young anyway)
|
This band's fans rioted at Red Rocks amphitheatre in 1971, causing the police to drop tear gas from helicopters on the crowd. The band played on through the riot, putting on what reviewers claimed was a great show. The incident caused Red Rocks to not allow rock concerts for years afterwards.
Who were they? |
