The Clash!

choskins is our winner!

Your go, choskins.

Alright, here we go:

Who said, "I'm no linguist, but I believe Warren Zevon may be the only man in the history of human communication to use the word brucellosis in a song."

hmmm...Hunter S. Thompson?
maybe Dave Letterman....

I'm a big Zevon fan so I know that this one is David Letterman.

But you didnt get a real chance so you can go again.

Yes, David Letterman.

And I am a huge Zevon fan as well. I am glad to be here.

Glad to have you here. It's nice to see some rookies asking questions in here.

KWSN has given you another go, so ask away:thumbsup:

Yes, welcome. We don't get a whole lot of Warren Zevon questions here, and I have to admit I never owned any of his albums, but man.... that Werewolves of London is an awesome tune! I guess one of these days I should buy a CD. Is there a greatest hits out?

Perripken, Zevon has had several GH albums. My favorite is Learning to Flinch, which is a single CD, live album spanning his entire career. But he has had several Anthology, multi-CD packages. Thanks for the second go.

What group's debut album, featured a robot raping a woman on it's cover (although soon replaced)?

That would be the cover of Guns 'n' Roses' "Appetite for Destruction"


Lets switch gears a little and talk about John Fogerty. Now, I'm not a fan of him or CCR, but this is the one tidbit I do know about them.

John was sued for plagarizing the opening lick for his solo single "The Old Man Down the Road"

Who sued him and what song did they accuse him of plagarizing?

Man... I used to know this. I think it may even be in the liner notes in my "Centerfield" album which is in the dusty corner of one of my closets. I know there is a song on the CD that mentions the guys name and basically disses him. If nobody gets it by tomorrow morning, I might have to search for that album!

It's easier than you think.

I think that the band sued him for plaigarizing Run Through the Jungle

verify that please

(the band being CCR)

Yup, he was essenmtially sued for plagarizing himself, because he wrote both tunes. The band just wanted a piece of it.

John eventually won when the judge decided it was not illegal to steal from yourself. (well duuuuhhhh!)

GOT... I think the guys name was Vance or something like that. The song is coming back to me. It was on the Centerfield album and it went something like Vance can't dance, but he'll steal your money... something like that. I know the name rhymes with dance, but I'm not sure if it's Vance. Let me know if I'm right!

Well in that case I suppose I'll go... dunno if this one is too easy...

According to legend, who was an honorary pallbearer at Ronnie Van Zant's funeral?

Perripken, I'm not sure who it was that sued Fogerty, just that it was his old record label. They wanted a piece of the action since he originally recorded it with them. They felt it was "their" song.

Are you referring to Neil Young?

I'll try to dig out the album in the next couple days and see what I can find.

Choskins definitely got it correct and Booray, I love that song and that's where I first learned that tidbit. DBT are great.

From left field...

A concert promoter in Hawaii sold a thousand tickets to a concert. Unfortunately the concert was never scheduled. The man was arrested and told police he needed the money for a nose job and a sex change.

What band was the concert for?

The Eagles, on a wild guess.... or Michael Jackson if the guy was joking around

Actually, it is even worse than Michael Jackson.

I'd like to say Culture Club and Boy George, but will say Rob Halprin and Judas Priest.

No. Early to mid 90s. Bubble gum.

new....... new kids on the block? MENUDO?????

wrong sex!

Spice Girls?

Yep!

OK, while I'm waiting to see if I'm right, I just went up and got my copy of Centerfield as promised. The name of the song I was referring to was "Vanz Kant Danz" It was referring to CCR's old producer Saul Zaentz who was the head of Fantasy records. There is also a song called "Mr. Greed" on the album that is supposed to be aimed at him.

perripken, you are right. It is your go!

Ok, since I'm kinda brain dead today and my Lakers are in the finals , I'll throw out an easy one.

Name the 80's pop star who started out as a Laker girl.

Oh jeez, that is easy. The only reason I don't answer it is beacuse I don't have a new question lined up.

Perripken, thanks for the extra info on the CCR question. Like I said, the only thing I knew is that is was the record company that sued. Now I know who actually went after him.

I believe it was Paula Abdul. But she was late more 90's. It could be one hit wonder Toni Basil, tho. But pretty sure you mean Paula.

You're right Pan6467, It was Paula. You're also right about the 90's.

Ok, here's a very easy one. J-Lo is in the press a lot lately (well has been for what seems forever).

Where did J-Lo find her first taste of fame?

As a fly girl on In Living Color.

Here is one that is a little harder: How many husbands has J-Lo had?

Damn has to be a record 31 minutes.

3 including mark anthony?

3 and a 1/2 including the engagment to Ben?

Just kidding. Pretty sure it's 3 but KWSN beat me to it.

3 and counting. That is correct. Go KWSN.

w00t

next question:

What famous frontwoman was arrested for pointing a shotgun at pollice officers at her house?

Glad to hear you're a fan! Hopefully, more and more people that would enjoy their stuff find their way to them

Patterson Hood's solo act is getting a lot of exposure so more and more people are listening to DBT as well.

My guess would be Courtney Love?

yeah, I've really enjoyed the couple of solo shows of his that I've caught. His solo album is great. Really dark and gritty

Nope, think older than that.

Grace Slick?

Chrissie Hynde? (although it definitely sounds more like a drunk Grace Slick move)

Debra Harry?

I think Grace Slick is correct. but if not, I'll guess Janis Joplin.

correct again! you're on a roll, choskins

At the end of this Beatles' song, an ultrasonic whistle, audible only to dogs, was recorded by Paul McCartney for his Shetland sheepdog. What is that song?

damn. I know I've heard this before, but I'm not sure what song it was. I'll guess A Day in the Life

It was on Sgt. Pepper, but I don't think it was A Day in the Life though.

Where's warrrreagl? He should know.

Pretty sure that was 'A day in the Life'

I spent a summer working with a guy that would constantly throw Beatles trivia out there out of nowhere. We could be talking about the tire pressure in the truck, or any unrelated music topic, and he'd throw a Beatles trivia bit out there.

edited to note that I'm the third person to mention this song. Looks like Booray's the one on the trigger.

It was a Day in the Life. I guess techinically sherpahigh got it. You guys decide who goes next.

I think Booray gets it...

thinking of one...

What makes each of the original copies sold of the White Album unique?

the white vinyl each was pressed on?

i think.

brain is foggy.

No. I'm talking about something that made each and every one of the albums sold different from each other. Something on the front cover.

I think it was the placement of "The Beatles" on the cover itself. It was never in the same place twice.

I don't think that's it. As far as I knew, the band name was in the same place on all copies, but something else was different on every cover.

Then I'm outta guesses.

Off to go look it up, cuz I can't stand the waiting :p

This may turn out to be a relatively lame answer, but I couldn't think of one, so stole one from a trivia site.

One hint: My copy of the White Album on CD has this too, making it unique from all the other first CD issues of it.

Total guess... a bar code/number?

Close enough. It's a unique serial number that's on each of them (along with the words "The Beatles" that was on each). Kinda lame question, I know. Your go sherpahigh

Edit: here's an example of it

http://www.cjnetworks.com/~leis/albu...s/whitealb.jpg

heh.. who knew...

Well, I'm currently listening to the cd so how about...What eatery is featured on the back of the Doors album "Morrison Hotel"?

Man.... I've played that album thousands of times and do you think I could tell you? My favorite Doors song is on that one- Peace Frog!

definitly one of the best tunes on there. Love that song. :thumbsup:

I think Hard Rock Cafe.. not sure.. havent seen it in ages..

Well, it's almost 24 hours since sherpahigh posted the question... we have one answer on the board. If sherpahigh doesn't respond by 4:00 EST, I think redarrow should get it. Hard Rock Cafe sounds like a great guess to me, not to mention the only guess!

Looks like Hard Rock is the right answer.

Heh.. cool.

Q: In what year did the heavy metal band Iron Maiden form?

1978?

I'm thinking earlier than that. 1976?

did some searchin' in the ol record collection.....got nothin'

from what i remember though......'75 was the official start year of Maiden.

according to allmusic.com, KWSN is right

niiiice.

well i'll just wait for verification.

1975

Sorry bout that. Got a bit preoccuied this weekend with wedding plans.

As was pointed out, Hard Rock was the answer.

I think you should just ask a new question KWSN, your reply was on Sunday at 11:45 am. Man.... if you have a question on the board people.... please check back from time to time. Thanks

Im gonna jump in here with a question, even though its not my turn, just to keep things moving.


33 years ago today (june 14, 1971) in London, the very first what opened?

*yawn* thanks Sion-
No idea on your question, though

Tower Records???

Dentist Office?

Oh, right, this is a music thread...sorry.

good guess GoT, but incorrect.


hint: think stuff hanging on the walls

The Spanish Inquisition?????

hard rock cafe?

....or applebees...

Music museum?

Oh yeah 1975 was right.. sorry for the delay
Looks like flyman won.

Oh yeah 1975 was right.. sorry for the delay
Looks like flyman won. [/B][/QUOTE]

Sorry...had to throw the question out. Like I said, if you're going to have a question on the board, you need to check back regularly. thanks

DINGDINGDING!

correctamundo KWSN.

excellent

next question:

Califone and what other band collaborated to do a cover of Slayer's South of Heaven? (HINT: It's a band similar to Califone, meaning indie rock.)

Thank you GoT I truly needed the belly laugh I got from that answer.

Didn't know if anyone would get the reference. Glad to have made your day :thumbsup:

KWSN, your question is officially a stumper.
Next please...

Its been 24 hours and not even a guess.... the answer is Modest Mouse.

Modest Mouse doing a cover of South of Heaven is a pretty interesting thing to behold.

Anyway, whoever wants next go ahead, i've got nothing.

Before Pink Floyd's "Animals" album become a themed album, the songs "Dogs" and "Sheep" went by different titles. What were the original titles of these two songs?
