Jim Morrison?

pan6467

No, not Jim.

Think later in rock history.

It's hard to give too many clues without giving it away.

Prince?

pan6467

No, not Prince but right era.

Nope neither of them.

Ok here's a hint: he was a solo artist not from the US.

Think about the clues, talked to MOZART in seances, not US...... you all will slap your heads when you see the answer.... well if you remember him.

SinisterMotives

Falco?

pan6467

Ding Ding Ding.... you got it Sinister.

Yes, it was Falco, when People Mag. did an interview with him he claimed he held seances and talked to Amadeus and that Mozart was helping him with his music.

He also claimed Mozart loved the Amadeus song.

Even though he never had any success after in the US, I believe he was big in Europe and had become an ochestra director before his untimely death.

Here's the next question:

In the late 1980s and early 1990s, what rock star managed the recording career of Liza Minelli?

God of Thunder

The obvious guess, Elton John







(edit: I actually do know the answer. I'm just giving everyone a sporting chance)

Not Elton John. You may as well give us the correct answer if you know it. No one else seems to be taking a shot at it.

God of Thunder

Oddly enough Gene Simmons managed Liza's career for a while. That's Gene "I'll take a buck wherever I can get it" Simmons for ya.




New question:

Queen and David Bowie teamed up in the mid-eighties for the song "Under Pressure", but only performed it live together once. Where was that one performance?

I think I know the answer, but I'm going to give someone else a crack at it first.

SinisterMotives

Mmmkay, here's my guess:

Knebworth

God of Thunder

You're in the right country, but wrong event.

That's the event, Sion.

My sister and I got up a 7am and watched it most of the day. The sucky part is that we did not own a VCR yet, so all I have is my memories of the event

Disco Night where they rioted as they burnt disco albums.

Derwood

Technically "Disco Demolition Night". It was orchestrated by radio talk DJ Steve Daal, and occured during the break between games of a doubleheader. The field was deemed "unplayable" after fans stormed the field, cancelling the 2nd game.

That and Cleveland's 5cent beer night are the 2 best promotions baseball ever had....lol.

Ok .... here's one, I had to go to the top of the hill and ask the great music guru this question and when he wouldn't answer I went to granddad so blame him .....

What big band did Frank Sinatra become famous fronting?

Wow no guesses yet. Maybe I went back too far for you guys.

Church

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say the Tommy Dorsey Band?

In the late 70's, we started our career when we were able to land a deal with Phonogram in the US due to consistent airplay on Cleveland radio. We are a Canadian Band. Who are we?

Triumph?

perripken

Hi folks... I'm back from vacation. Had a great time!
Technically, Pan6467's question is still on the board, so as the starter of this thread, I'm going to have to strike Church'es question from the board. Sorry Church! If you're not familiar with the rules of the thread, I can repost them for ya!

not only cancelling the game, but the Sox had to take a forfiet!
Just read about this recently!

It's alright Perrip, Church was right with Tommy Dorsey.

The first record Frankie cut was "This Song is You" and he got billing with Tommy Dorsey.

So Church's question is the official question.

By the way welcome back Perrip, hope the vacation went well.

SinisterMotives

So now Church needs to confirm whether Triumph is the answer to his question.

perripken

I would say if Church does'nt respond by 6:56 pm eastern, the question is yours, Sinistermotives. That will be the 24 hour mark.
I would have guessed Triumph also.

Okay, it's getting close to that time. I'm going to give him a few more minutes while I come up with another question.

SinisterMotives

Here's the next question:

In 1991, Arlo Guthrie purchased the church where his song “Alice’s Restaurant” was set. What was the church originally called?

God of Thunder

Damn, a little too early for my time. Maybe the "registered fossil" can answer this one.

Sorry dude, just noticed the new title and it cracked me up.

Church

Sorry, I was out. I know my question is obsolete now, but in case you were curious, the answer was Rush.

SinisterMotives

I almost said that, but I could've sworn they were around a bit earlier than the late 70s.

Church

Yeah, that's the twist. They had a few songs out, but they really got their big break on the radio station in question.

perripken

eh, it's ok sonny.... actually, Arlo was a little before my time too.
As far as the Rush question goes, I thought that "Fly by Night" was their first radio hit, and I thought that album was more like mid-seventies. I tried searching for the date, but to no avail.
Time is almost up on the Arlo question.

Officially a stumper SinisterMotives, hit us with a little easier one!

SinisterMotives

The church's original name was St. James Chapel. The building was extended in the 1860s and renamed Trinity Church.

I'll be back with another question in a bit.
