Okay, here's the next question:

"Another family suburban morning" is the first line of what Police song?

ah, finally an easy one: Synchronicity II

"Synchronicity II" is correct. Your turn, Sion.

here's one probably only GoT will know, but I've been dying to throw it out.

What Kiss song is the following quote talking about?

"And there's an interesting story behind the demo of "_______." Simmons had befriended a then-unknown band in Los Angeles, Van Halen (then known as Mammoth), and had guitarist Eddie Van Halen and drummer Alex Van Halen play on the song's demo. Simmons was so impressed with Eddie's melodic lead that he made Kiss' guitarist Ace Frehley play it note for note on Kiss' version."

"Christine Sixteen"

Is correct.

Ya, take a day off and look what happens...sheesh.

According to Gene, they were going to release the version of Eddie and Alex playing the song on the box set, but couldn't get the clearances from everyone.

Btw, I am leaving on Sunday for week to a place where there is no internet access at all. No phone, no lights, no motorcar...not a single luxury. Have fun everyone, play nice and no KISS questions while I'm gone.

Next question:

Frank Sinatra, Sammy Davis, Jr., Dean Martin, and Joey Bishop were four of the five members of the legendary Rat Pack in its heyday. Name the fifth member.

The great Peter Lawford, JFK's brother-in-law.

Hmmmm now I need to go watch Ray Liotta play Sinatra in the movie the "Rat Pack"

It would have been cool to live like that.

Peter Lawford is the correct answer.

Have a great time GOT, no internet! :eek:
Guess I'll have to pull out all those Kiss questions I've been saving! :D

Pennsylvania?

You made me shoot Mt. Dew out my nose dude. :lol:

No actually to summer camp with my troop. It's a week of fishing, cooking, camping and just relaxing. :thumbsup:

Okay, speaking of the Rat Pack, Dean Martin's son Dino was in a band with what other famous actor/actress child?

This is pretty easy, I think.

Just a guess:

Elijah Blue Allman (Cher and Gregg Allman's son)?

Edit: On second though, he's way too young

Nope the answer is: Desi Arnaz Jr. (Lucy and Desi's kid)

Ok....... Let's go with this: Diana Ross played who in the movie "Lady Sings the Blues"?

oh shit, I know this, but cannot dredge the name out of my brain. she was one of the original great torch singers from back in the 20s(?).


argh! only 37 and already the memory is failing...

She played Billy Holiday.

I'm very thankful that I'm only 35 and can still remember stuff. :lol:

Since I'm leaving today for a week, I'll throw out an easy one as a toss up.

Who was the father of Ahmet, Moon Unit and Dweezil?

the inimitable Frank Zappa.

I've got nothing, so anyone who wants the next question, feel free.

Here's an interesting one

If you've seen Spider-Man 2, you may remember the woman who sings the Spider-Man theme song on the street. The actress who does that is the mother of ..... who?

stumper!

ask another KWSN

That woman is the mother of none other than the great William Hung.

Anyway, new question:

It's rumored that at the beginning of one of Tupac's albums you can hear these words:

"_____ shot me"

Fill in the _______

biggie??

nope.

but it is another rap figure.

snoop?

I'm not sure if that's right. Here's the IMDB page of the person:

http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0227688/

Looks too young to be his mom. Also, this page has a pic of Hung and, apparently, his mom sitting in the Blue Jays dugout before a game:
http://www.andpop.com/gallery/details.php?image_id=202

Sounds like it's just one of those incorrect factoids that pops up and gets spread around every now and then.

those bastards!


anyway, it's not snoop. keep guessing.

HINT: more of a magnate than an actual artist.

puffy?

Suge?
Suge Knight?

Perripken has got it!

Yes, it's rumored that you can hear "Suge shot me" at the beginning of one of his albums.

Your go, perripken.

Ok,
Brad Gillis, guitar player for Night Ranger was also playing guitar for someone else when Night Ranger got famous. He chose to stay with Night Ranger. Who was the other act?

ooooooh good one perripken. I didnt know, so I looked it up. VERY interesting. In retrospect, he should have taken the other gig, instead of returning to Night Ranger.

ozzy?

it's either ozzy or montrose, i forget which, but i think rune got it.

Rune is correct

Rune? We need a new question.

oh crap. i though i posted it already. woops, my bad.


The Black Sabbath Song "Warning" is a cover by what band?

Ansley Dunbar's Retaliation.

New question (in case this answer's correct):

I don't know if this one's been asked before, but if it has, then it should be easy.
On Ozzy's Diary of a Madman album there's a song called S.A.T.O. What does S.A.T.O. stand for?

It stands for Sharon Arden Thelma Osbourne.
Sharon Arden is Ozzy's wife's maiden name.
Thelma was his first wife.
Ok, here goes:
Where did Kansas get the inspiration for the title of their song "People of the South Wind"?

Well, I'm close to 24 hours and I won't be around until Monday afternoon so I'm going to give the answer and let someone else ask the next question:
Kansas is actually a Sioux word for "south wind people" or anyone living south of the Sioux territory. That's how the state got the name and hence the inspiration by Steve Walsh to write the song.

ok, I'll jump in here, to get things going again.

here's an easy one (that I hope hasnt been done before):

whats Bob Dylan's real name?

Robert Zimmerman

indeed SM

SinisterMotives, we need a new question.

Since I'm back, I'll jump in.

Even though Brian Wilson wrote the song Surfin' U.S.A., it is officially credited to someone else.

Who got the credit and why?

it's credited to the one and only Chuck Berry because the hook was taken straight out of Johnny B. Goode.

Close, Brian lifted it from Berry's "Sweet Little Sixteen"

If you listen to them at the same time, they're the same song with different words. Just like Nickleback :lol:

Your go.

Welcome back Thunder!

Good to be back!!!

I kinda missed this place while I was gone, then I went fishing.

damn sorry for being so late, i kind of slept all day.

next question:

Flava Flav appeared relatively recently in what long island group's video?

HINT: most people would consider the genre Emo.

It appears you have a stumper KWSN.

The answer was Taking Back Sunday. What Flava Flav was doing in that video was anyone's guess.

Another PE question:

What Public Enemy member was, at one point, kicked out of the group for comments in the Washington Post that were considered by many to be anti-Semetic?

I'm going with Terminator X

Not quite.

Hint: His role in the band was "Minister of Information" and his solo works were listed under the name of _______ _______ and the Last Asiatic Disciple (_______ ________ being his name).

Professor Griff?

That is correct, redarrow.

Your go.

Guttersnipe! I love your Avatar. Believe it or not, if Franks corpse was on the ticket, I'd vote for it!
Sorry for swaying away from the thread, but I had to let you know!

Alllllright.

What band created the LP called Facelift?

Alice in Chains

Correct.

we need a new question braindamage351

Ok, I guess I'll get this thing going again since Braindamage351 is in limbo.


Who is Michael Balzery?

Flea

you are correct gboz

Ok, here's one: music-lovers that claim Joe Perry of Aerosmith is a guitar god often point to the solos in Train Kept-a-Rollin as an example. Who actually played those solos and several more on that album?

uh, Brad Whitford?

Man.... I have seen Aerosmith a gazillion times and every time I've seen them, Joe plays the leads on "Train..." I'd be interested to know how true this is!

BTW, I'm not downplaying Brad Whitford's playing, he is a great player in his own right. As a matter of fact, he does do his share of leads on all the albums!

Nope, not Brad Whitford. A couple of guys you probably know from other bands they played in.

This came out in a magazine interview (I think Guitar Player) probably 7 or 8 years ago much to the chagrin of Joe Perry & Aerosmith. It had been a rumor for a long time then when the artists were finally asked directly they spilled it. A good friend of mine, Ty Tabor (Kings X) showed me the article. He claimed he was suspicious all along because of the distinctly different style and tone on some of those songs. More hints?

Tap, tap, tap. Is this thing on?
Stumped? New question? Nobody gives a crap?

not a clue here.

I'm stumped too

ok, this is way past being a stumper. Time for an answer.

George Thorogood?

Steve Hunter and Dick Wagner.
They are probably most noted for their stint with Alice Cooper but they have a huge catalog of work. My favorite thing they did was the intro to Sweet Jane on Lou Reed's Rock and Roll Animal.

Here's a quote:
I’ve heard a lot about the Aerosmith experience too - you played on “Train Kept a Rollin,” right?

"I was living in New York and I got a call to come into the studio to play some guitar on Aerosmith. I went over and played on three or four tracks. Steve Hunter came over also. We both played on that song beecause Joe Perry…I don’t know why - I guess we were better guitar players at the time - Joe is really good. We were basically studio players for hire. That was their breakout album: Get Your Wings. We didn’t get credit on that album either. Later on, it got out."

From: http://web.archive.org/web/200306040...ssageboard.htm

I'll have another question in a few minutes.

Who was Steve Vai's now-famous guitar teacher at a music store in San Francisco?

None other than Joe Satriani.

Satriani?

Correct. Looks like KWSN got it first.

Woot.

Next question is sort of stupid... but here goes.

Who does the backup part on the song "Informer" by Snow? (you may remember this song as the faux-jamaican rap song from the early 1990s sung by a white canadian guy).

Isn't the guy's name KB?

I'm a little slack in the early 90's faux-Jamaican white Canadian guy rap genre.

just a completely random guess: Vanilla Ice?

Canadian early 90's.... hmmmmm Shania Twain comes to mind

Nope.

Here's a few hints:

A) He's not Canadian

B) He's mentioned numerous times in the song before his one verse (the final one)

C) He got his big break when the future boss of Cold Chillin' records caught him trying to steal his car.

D) He's Marley Marl's cousin.

I looked up the words. Never heard of the guy.

MC Shan?

What rock pair is known as the Glimmer Twins?

MC Shan is right, Val_1. Don't know the answer to yours

I'm going to be out of town til next monday, see you all then.

the Glimmer Twins are Mick Jagger and Keith Richard, as opposed to the Toxic Twins Joe Perry and Steven Tyler. or do I have that backwards? no, I think I got it right.

you got it right. At least about the Glimmer twins. I've never heard about the toxic twins but I've never been a huge aerosmith fan.

hmmm, now I need a question....

thinking....

STILL thinking...

ok, gotta check something, I'll be back shortly.

ok, I got two. get either one right and it's your turn. get them both right and win the envy of all who love music trivia. oh and it'll be your turn too.

one for the Brit's: 41 years ago today (aug 9, 1863) this popular BBC rock & roll television show debuted. name it.

one for the stoners: 9 years ago today, a legend died of a heart attack at the age of 53. who was it?

jerry garcia, of one of the best bands in the world the grateful dead.

correct, redarrow

Riddle time:

When did Roger say who are you?

What year? Just a lame guess: '84

Yeah, its a year, but not '84

Must be earlier.

Maybe it is, maybe it isnt

1978
