stumper?

It's starting to look like it, Derwood. At 1:16 this afternoon, it'll be 24 hours. I have no clue, is it in the album liner? I have the vinyl, but I'd have to dig it out. great question!

Just let me know when you want me to reveal the answer.

Here's a hint: When they played these songs live prior to recording the album, they went by the names I'm looking for.

Ok, it's been 24 hours.

"Dogs" was originally titled "You've Got to be Crazy", and "Sheep" was originally titled "Raving and Drooling"

And you call yourselves classic rock fans!

Ok, new question:

In the early 90's, Roger Waters staged a live performance of "The Wall" in Germany. Who sang "Hey You" at that concert?

For some reason, my first instinct is Peter Gabriel, so I'll guess that, but I'm thinking it's actually someone else.

As far as the Animals question, I remembered reading in "Saucerful of Secrets" that Dogs and Sheep had different names, but couldn't remember them.

I'm going to take a wild guess and say Bob Geldof, since he played Pink in the movie.

That would be Mike Rutherford's lead singer from Mike and the Mechanics, the great and heavily unknown Paul Carrack.

He also did work on Waters' Radio K.A.O.S.

well, I guess I at least had the Genesis connection correct :)

He was also the frontman for Squeeze. That's him singing the song "Tempted" Great tune!
Do we have a new question, or are you uncertain and waiting for confirmation?

that's the right answer. Ask away!

Is there a Pan6467 in da house?

Sorry, yes there is and I have an easy one.

Who was the drummer of the Beatles before Ringo?

yes, that is an easy one: Pete Best


next question: "Ride my seesaw" is a song from what band?

ohhhhhhhhhh shit that sounds familiar..... but i cant quite remember

Tis the Moody Blues that sang that song.

Case I'm right.......

What band did Denny Laine play for a big role in after the Moody Blues?

Moody Blues,

next:
What was producer and Traveling Wilbury's Jeff Lynne originally known for.

Im gonna answer perripkens question and leave pan6467's as current, since he got mine correct first: a band called ELO (the Electric Light Orchestra - great band btw)

ELO?

Pan's question is still on the board. Sorry, I must've been typing moody blues while he was answering it. He definately beat me to the punch. I have no idea on the Denny Laine question without googling.

Think of a band on the run.

Paul McCartney and Wings? I just jumped into this quiz now...

You have the floor Ultra.

Yes, Denny Laine's biggest move after quitting Moody Blues was being McCartney's hired hand during the Wings period.

Ok, what lead singer of a certain band famously said at a press conference announcing a reunion tour:

"We don't see eye to eye, but we have a common interest: your money."

Not to hijack or be a thread hog and I truly hope I am wrong for those purposes but that sounds like a Sammy Hagar quote for Van Halen.

That actually sounds more like David Lee Roth for Van Halen... i think

No DLR would say something like, "It's been a few years but Eddie and Alex came to realize they need the Diamond Dave."

That was Johnny Rotten, commenting on the Sex Pistols reunion.

Ultra, do we have confirmation on the answer?
Pan, you are a thread hog! Just kidding bro, keep up the good work!

That's it you got it illinoiz, your go!

Which British band included Eric Clapton, Jeff Beck and Jimmy Page as lead guitarists during its time? (they didn't play in the band at the same time, but they all played in this band at one time or anogher...)

I do believe that that would be the Yardbirds.

Yardbirds is definitely correct. No need for confirmation. Ask away

Yeah, it is the Yardbirds...

Alrighty, umm, what Wu Tang song did Mindless Self Indulgence cover?

C.R.E.A.M.?

Eh, it was Bring the Pain. I figured nobody might get it.
Since I have no good trivia questions I'll hand it off by use of an easy question:
Who is the singer for Led Zeppelin?

ummmm.....Barry Manilow?

heh heh heh!

I'll jump in, because I thought of one the other day. Should be easy for some of the "old timers"


What band was the real voice behind "Eddie & the Cruisers"?

Oh nuts. I know this...cant seem to dredge it out of the old memory banks. Sawyer Brown?

You're close...oh so close.

I can't believe I am the only one here who remembers "Eddie & the Cruisers" it was a classic 80's movie. If you bought the soundtrack, it clearly said the real band's name on it.

To give a hint - "brown" was the only thing Sion had right in his guess.

The real band's name mirrored the movie band's in that it was (lead singer's name) & the (band name).

Man, GOT, I can't believe it either... It was John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band. I remember thinking it was another artist because he sounded so much like him. Come to find out, that artist was a huge influence on John.

since I'm at work and can't spend alot of time here... name the artist I'm speaking of.

I KNEW there was Brown in there somewhere. Just couldnt come up with it.

as for perripken's question: Jackson Browne?

nope, I'll give you a hint, if you can remember the song that made the top 40 it was "On the Dark Side" That song sounds exactly like something another artist would do.

You're probably thinking of Bruce Springsteen

I know for a fact that GoT is correct.

Oooh look, a new line for my signature :lol:

Now, for a question...


What 80's lead singer often adoped a variety of stage personas including the "crippled Nazi" Dr. Strangekiss, country singer Hugh Heifer and Quay Lewd, a drug-addled British pop star?


/runs off laughing in an evil manner.

muah ha ha ha

This is an absolute shot in the dark...but my insta-guess leapt from my brain and said-
"Fee Waybill"
(my god why do I even know THAT name?)
:)
And if that is correct-What band did Mr. Waybill front?

Aaaahhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!

I thought I had a stumper!!!!!

That barely lasted an hour. Damn.

Obviously I know what band Fee Waybill fronted, so I'm out.

you gotta be shitting me!!!!

honestly it was the magic orb of inspiration that hit me!

I shit thee not.

Good guess.

well, I know who Fee Waybill is. He fronts The Tubes. I know this because not only do I like some of their songs, but I once saw them open for Todd Rundgren's Utopia.



next question is a fill in the blank:

"If there's a bustle in your hedgerow
Dont be alarmed now.
It's just a spring clean for the ___ _____."

Who is the spring clean for?

the May Queen.

indeed, KWSN. your turn

OK.

Name all the members of Oysterhead and their signifigance (as far as other bands and instruments are concerned).

Finally! Show up at the right time to get one I know.

Stewart Copeland - drums for the Police
Les Claypool - bass for Primus, Sausage, and Col. Les Claypool's Flying Frog Brigade
Trey Anastasio - geetar for Phish

Thinking of a new question

New question:
Name the group comprised of Warren Zevon and REM's Peter Buck, Mike Mills, and Bill Berry

Hindu Love Gods!

Hey man... it wasn't Bruce Springsteen!
Just kidding.... my fellow trivia guru the God of Thunder was correct! Hey Got, great to see you back!

Good to be back, was away on family business for a while.

You got it, illinoiz! Your turn to come up with the next question.

Sorry about the wait on confirmation of a right answer. Internet connection has been giving me fits today.

Anyone who has a question, go ahead and ask so we don't have to wait. I'm too tired to think up one.

Here's an easy one.

What artist, after publicly admitting the kicking of a certain addiction, appeared on Sesame Street?

The Double Bill concert.

So do we have an answer?

James Taylor

KWSN, is James Taylor correct?

Nope.

It appears we have stumper status.

The answer is Snoop Dogg. Soon after supposedly kicking his weed habit, he went on Sesame Street.

If anyone wants to get the next question, be my guest. I've got nothing/

name the band that Robert Plant was in prior to joining the fledgling Led Zeppelin.

Ohh damn!! I knew that at one time.

Do I get any points for knowing what band he was in after Led Zeppelin??

Yardbirds?

sherpahigh is correct.

cool... Someone just enlightened me with the answer to this question recently so...

Who was the only member of Guns n' Roses to get a high school diploma?

I'll go with the longshot and pick Slash

Are you sure about that?

Technically I guess he is right, but that's not who I would have gone for.

Jimmy still had some gigs left in his contract as the Yardbirds when he formed Led Zeppelin, so they performed for about a half a year as the "New Yardbirds"

Allmusic.com has Plant singing in a band called Hobbstweedle right before joining Page for the New Yardbirds/Led Zeppelin. I would have never dredged that name out of the memory banks.

Out of my own memory Yardbirds is correct, but Allmusic verifies it by saying Zeppelin "rose from the ashes of" the Yardbirds.

I knew Zeppelin came from the Yardbirds and Plant joined while (I think) they were already calling themselves The New Yardbirds, but once he joined, they already had the lineup in place that would quickly change its name to Led Zeppelin. I guess I just figured that he was looking for the group Plant was playing with when Page discovered him.

sorry if I jumped in too soon with an answer that wasn't right. I remember something about Hobbstweedle as well but I wouldn't of come up with that without looking it up.

anyway, as for the g n' r question, slash was not the one.

duff

I would have accepted Hobbstweedle or Band of Joy. I would not have accepted The Yardbirds.

in any case, lets go with sherpahigh's GnR question as the current one up. I have a clarifying question to ask about it though. Are we referring to the original lineup? If so, I'me guessing William Bailey (otherwise known as Axl Rose).

not duff or axl, and yes we are talking about the original 5 so that only leaves two left.

Izzy?

I will be out of the loop from Fri. July 2- Mon. July 12. Will be at Outer Banks vacationing, so if my Izzy answer is correct, I'll pass this to someone else. Keep up the good work, my fellow trivia buffs! I'm relying on you regulars to keep the trivia thread nice and orderly! See ya later!

I'll be here to help monitor. Have a great time.

My guess is Steven Adler

I know Slash and Lenny Kravitz went to the same high school together at the same time.

And I know one of the G-N-R'ers in between bands just got his college degree in finance, read that in an interview about the new band.

Izzy was the guy I knew about. Hadn't heard of any of them going on to collage. Izzy graduated in 79 I believe and then took off to California with plans of being in a band.

I think it's Duff who got his finance degree. Velvet Revolver was on the TV Howard Stern show on E! and I think he mentioned it.

Always liked Duff for some reason he seemed the most level headed and least "out there".

Is Izzy in the new band?

Sorry for threadjack just curious.

Looks like Perripken was the winner, but as his post said, he is unavailable.

So, allow me...


What girl group started the careers Joan Jett and Lita Ford?

Joan Jett and Lita Ford were one-time members of the girl group "The Runaways".

What was the origonal name that Eddie Vedder wanted for Pearl Jam?

Log Jam? Pearl Necklace? lol, I have no idea.

mookie blalock

Good job! Not a really hard one if you are a PJ fan but still hard enough.

So was "Mikki" Steel who later joined The Bangles. Good job

Who is going to ask the next question?

Ok lemme jump in
What classic album did Les Claypools "Frog Brigade" cover (almost to the note) in 2000. disc 2.

*please forgive me if this has already been asked*

pink floyd animals

I was thinking Animals too, but the mention of "disc 2" in the question is throwing me off. Animals doesn't have a 2nd disc. Does "2nd disc" mean that the Frog Brigade covered the 2nd disc of a famous album or that the 2nd disc of one of the Frog Brigade's releases contains the live set where they covered the famous album?
