Alice Cooper, I think.

You are correct. Please ask the next question.

edited because I didn't see that someone else had already correctly answered.

Move along, nothing to see here.

It's been ten days since someone got the last question right and no new question has been asked. I guess it's up in the air for anyone. I can't think of any questions, but wanted to bump the thread so anyone with a question could ask one.

Wall of Voodoo's cover of "Ring of Fire" was used in a movie in the early 80's. What's the title of the movie?

wild guess: St. Elmo's Fire

No.

However, if it is part of the St. Elmo's Fire soundtrack it's not the movie I was thinking about.

Hint: It's not a mainstream movie.

answer?

new question?

The movie was "Nightdreams." Porn flick. Don't ask me how I know this. It's just one of those...weird, random facts?

rhaevyn is correct.

How about a question there, Rhaevyn?

Vanblah, you wanna take another one?

I'd like to defer to someone ... but I'll pick up the ball if no one asks tomorrow.

what is David Bowie's real name and why did he change it?

David Bowie is widely regarded as one of the most influential writers of pop music. Born 'David Jones' he changed his name to Bowie in the 60s, to avoid confusion with the then well-known Davy Jones (lead singer of the Monkees).

/edit i got it from imdb ... is that allowed? heh

er, actually, no. see the first page of the thread.

answer was correct though. anyone who wants, jump in with one.

I'll jump in with a quickie - what's Trent Reznor's actual first name?

its Michael... Michael Trent Reznor (born May 17, 1965 in Mercer, Pennsylvania), better known as Trent Reznor


What do I win???

New Question...

Who were the founding members of Pink Floyd???

I think I've got this right, but not positive:
Syd Barrett
Roger Waters
Rick Wright
Nick Mason

booray is correct

I can't come up with a question. If someone's got one, go ahead and ask.

I jump in. Haven't been in here in awhile.


What was Bob Seger's only number one hit?

Shakedown

What day of the week did Peter Tosh die?

Yes, it was featured in Beverly Hills Cop II.

Sad really, he had much better hits.

Im going to revive this thread with an easy one:

what did the wind cry?

Mary.

Name the first band Nick Cave was in.

most would say The Birthday Party but it was The Boys Next Door, if im not mistaken?

ok here is another aussie question about my absolute FAVOURITE band of all time...


in what year were grinspoon unearthed by Triple J?

a couple of bonus questions too just for the fun of it...

where were they unearthed from?
and what song did they submit as the winning song?

I don't know what year, but they're kiwi arent they?

brrr... wrong answer... here is a hint. they come from australia

1995.

Not sure where they're from, but I'm pretty sure the winning song was Sickfest.

*sighs*

I really, really, really wish I lived in Australia and could go to Big Day Out. *pouts* I hate festivals here in the South, they're always in freakin' August when it's 9000* outside..... and the lineups always suck.

*sobs* Beastie Boys! I'm missing the Beastie Boys!

Gods, now I have to think of a question......

I shall return, when a question has been formulated.....

OK, question time:

Only one family ever had three generations have number one hits on Billboard's Hot 100. Who is the family, and who are the members of each generation to have the hit(s)?

For a bonus: Name the year and the hits, too.

Yep....Boys Next Door was Nick's first band. They released that incredible single "Shivers". :cool:

yeah Bryndian_Dhai it was Sickfest that they won with, very good considering you dont live in australia.

as for the big day out... IM GOING NAH NAH :p

it will be pretty hot because it is in the middle of summer here too.

yes yes they did, then it got covered and shat upon by The Screaming Jets.

also, can you still get boys next door stuff? i have a best of the birthday party cd which is great.

*grins* I have a lifelong thing about Australian bands, starting with Men at Work, and continuing through today. Two of my best friends live in Australia. My ex is Australian..... *grins* I should probably just pack up and move. heheheh.....

I have no freakin' clue why they persist in scheduling concerts..... outdoor concerts no less..... here in mid-summer.... It would make more sense to schedule winter concerts here and summer concerts up north.... Mitigate all the heat and sun stroke, y'know? *sighs* I'm a big ol' fat grrl.... I'm not draggin' my fat ass to New Orleans to battle punks half my age in 100+* heat to hear bands that sound better in my cd player. *snorts* I'm thinkin'.... No thanks. lol

OMG, The Screaming Jets slaughtered that song. I was almost ill when I first heard it.

Re: Birthday Party stuff...you can almost get any indie stuff on the Waterfront Records site via mail order. You should check it out.

Hehehe...now that brought a smile to my face! I'm right there with ya, gal! :thumbsup:

The connection between Lynard Skynard and .38 Special is that they are both bands, and they both play music

*pouts* Ok, y'all, I thought this was a particularly easy question....

No takers?

ummmm and I HATE southern Rock but how about....

THEY BOTH HAVE A VAN ZANT???!!!??

I think that is a correct answer so I ask the next???

Here we go... and this should be an easy one for the older rock lovers... particullary Kwise I believe would know....

Pink Floyds song...Shine on You Crazy Diamond... is a tribute to whom?? and what is the signigicance of said person?

Long Live Floyd

the tribute is to Syd Barrett, who was one of the founders of Pink Floyd. Barrett went off the deep end shortly after the release of Floyd's first album, which led to the emergence of Roger Waters as the groups main songwriter and de facto leader.



Who was "the walrus"?
