I can't believe someone hasn't answered so far...

The evil character in the movie Barbarella was of course Durand Durand

The band changed it to Duran Duran.


OK, staying with the theme, when guitarist Andy Taylor left the group, he was replaced by Warren Cuccurullo.

What group was Warren formerly with?

Interesetingly enough, Duran Duran's first gig was in a club called Barbarella.

Can I buzz in with the answer? You followed my train of thought... or wait ... maybe I followed your's. I might wait considering my questions haven't gone over so well -- could be I'm out in left field with my music knowledge or...

I might be missing my marbles ... Strange how one persons can lose them so frequently... :D

Warren Cucarullo? Kinda young, kinda Wow!

Mothers of Invention, no?

I for one am in to the obscure questions, tritium, so please keep it up! Just keep in mind that if you stump us, you need to progressively make your questions a little easier. BTW, I see where this is going and if I'm not mistaken we've already had the Power Station trivia, correct?

Yes we have, but Warren has nothing to do with Powerstation.

If Tritium can't come up with an answer, I will provide a hint.

GOT - I know for sure that Warren Cuccurullo played in one or another of Frank Zappa's backing bands.

The band was Missing Persons. I'm fairly certain that I'm correct...

That's because you are correct.

Fire away!!!!

Andy Warhol conceived the cover art for which Rolling Stones' album? (difficulty: easy)

I'd already done that. :)

Hey all, totally new to the thread. Looks like there's a ton of tricky questions in here. I believe the answer to tritium's question is "Love You Live"

I know that silly GOT, just referring to Andy Taylor! BTW... How's the new addition?

I was thinking of Stickey Fingers, but Love You Live is correct too. Good work! You're up!

cool.

hmmmm......

lets see...

You'll have to forgive me if this was already covered. I haven't gone over the whole thread yet.

How about: Who did John Paul Jones play bass for at their free concert in Hyde Park, London in 1974?

Hey sherpahigh, welcome to the thread....
I have pretty much followed and monitered the thread along with God of Thunder since I started it, and that question hasn't been asked. I like it, but don't know it!

Thanks, for the welcome. I probably won't be able to get a whole lot of the questions but I love to learn about music stuff I don't know.

Anyway, let me know if I need to give out a hint or as an easier question. I only happen to know the answer because I was reading up on some Zep facts online the other day.

I guess you did. I didn't see it the first time. Very tricky.
Doing well, she even sleeps for 3 hours at a time now. Wooo hoooo!!!!


As for the current question...


A free concert in Hyde Park eh? hmmmmm...(scratches chin)

My guess is The Stones.

/goes off to look it up because it is bugging me.

Wasn't the Stones.

There was another "guest" on stage with J.P. Jones. He went by "Dave Gilmour".

Wow, I hope your clue wasn't too good, but is it the obvious?
Pink Floyd?

heh heh... Nope, not the obvious.

J.P. Jones and Gilmour were playing with someone that was a "noted" influence on Led Zeppelin.

Well, another guess, but you have stumped the panel so the next question is yours again. I'm gonna try one more....
The Yardbirds

Alright. The mystery act is Roy Harper. There's a link to the bootleg here if anyone's interested: http://www.zetosa.com.pl/piotrus/boots/rh.htm

I'll think up an easier one now...

How about what late 80's "supergroup" put out two albums that contained songs like: "Heading For The Light" and "Poor House" amoung many others.

bonus if you can name all 5 members.

was it the traveling wilburys???

i know 2 of the members were bob dylan and roy orbison

bob dylan
roy orbison
tom petty
george harrison
jeff lynn

looks like high_way buzzed in first with the right answer. so you're up with a new question.

and rideough, those are all 5 members. nice work. It seems everyone usually forgets about jeff.

OK my Question....

Led Zeppelin performed under 2 other names....

What were they???

oh shit, I know this, but my brain refuses to release the information. stupid brain.

if im right they performed as the new yardbirds because jimmy page was left with a few shows left to play and he got john, robert and john to play with him before they changed their name to led zeppelin.

also, do i get to ask a question?

The question asked states to state the 2 names, high_way. I knew about the Yardbirds too, but didn't know the second name...

The New Yardbirds and Band of Joy (Bonham's pre-Zep band) ?? I'm at a total loss and I want to know... :)

Could be The Honeydrippers with Robert Plant and Jimmy Page too...

yeah i know, i was just refering to me gettin the answer correct about the traveling walburys is all... its all good.

sorry i didnt read the led zeppelin question properly

here's a hint....

In '73 they were forced to use another name for a few gigs in Scandanavia as the Von Zeppelin family was unhappy with the use of their name.

Actually, highway should have been the next one to ask a question, but it looks like he's ok with rideough asking.
Highway you are a good sport!
Sidenote: Does anyone know what Jeff Lynn is up to these days?
I always thought he was such a talent with ELO. Last I knew he was producing. Think I'll have to search.....

Ahhhh, I know this. I just read it the other day. I think it was some "The" name.

Is it The Nobs or Nebs? Something like that I think.

If this isn't the answer, I think its time to move on with another question by high_way this time.

agreed. i ment to suggest that in my last post.

ok here is one (if no body minds and no one has answered the zeppelin question)

anyway here it goes

who was the original drummer for 28 days?
he played on upstyledown and some of steeling chairs before he died

ps thanks perripken, didnt really phase me that much. just think its cool to ask a question sometimes.

What was the answer to the Zepp question, BTW?


Scott Murray, may he rest in peace.
Awaiting confirmation on my answer.

The post times between high_way and I are kinda interesting... :) You know, between the question and my answer... dunno

yeah tritium you are right. when i brought the stealing chairs cd a bonus dvd came with it and it had a tribute to scotty... was fucken great.

at least they went on and still rock

Sorry i was aout for 2 days...but the answer was The Nobs and The New Yardbirds...
sorry for the delay!

For added flavor, I'm going in a new direction.

This guitarist's day job was for the Virginia Electric Power Company. Then just prior to his climb to success, joined Emmylou Harris and her band known as "Hot Band".

I don't know what he did during the day, but I know that Albert Lee was a guitar player for Hot Band for a while.

The answer is Ricky Skaggs. Good attempt though. It was kind of a hard question.

Perripken, I'll give it to you. :) Your question ... I feel like taking a break from the TFP for a couple of days. That Baltimore Orioles guy got me really cheesed off.

Hey tritium, don't let it get to you. Some people just shouldn't be allowed to play with keyboards! Anyways.... here goes...
In 1983 Styx was forced to cancel their tour. Why?

If I recall properly, it was one of two things. Let me take my first guess, and if that doesn't work, I have another.

One of the Panazzo brothers (Chuck, I think) died, leaving their rhythm section, shall we say, a bit light.

No,sorry Tophat, John died from a gastrointestinal hemmorage in 1996 which was a result of severe alcholism, and was replaced by Todd Sucherman. Chuck, his twin brother, is currently fighting aids and only makes occasional guest appearances.

OK, off by one brother and a couple of years. OK, my other guess is that Dennis DeYoung got very ill: something about light sensitivity, IIRC.

Nope, you're correct about Dennis'es illness, but that came much later. As a matter of fact, that's why he is no longer with the band and Lawrence Gowan has taken his place.

I thought it was because Tommy Shaw left the band?? That was right around the time of "Kilroy Was Here" and he hated it.

Actually most people did. Especially Rush fans. We liked the whole storyline the first time, when it was called "2112".

You're correct about that being the year of Kilroy, but it was because Tommy broke his wrist. He actually didn't leave until after the Paradise Theatre album. I guess I stumped the panel, however, I would like someone else to ask a new question.
Ask away!

Can someone ask a question that someone under the age of 40 could answer? This has been like 28 questions in a row about bands from the 70's!

Go for it Derwood! I believe I said for someone else to ask, so quit yer bitchin and ask a question for people under 40.

These young people today, don't know anything about good music. :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

I'm back and I hear that. I can't stand the stuff on the radio anymore...

New Wave and Synthpop forever! lol. :)

Born: May 2, 1981 ... can ya tell?

Try this question one out:

The bass track and beat pattern for Will Smith's "Fresh Prince of Bel Aire" was taken from another of Will's early hits. Can you name which one?

Parents Just Don't Understand?

Dude, I was in middle school then. I turned 12 the day before you were born.

Thanks for making me feel much older now.

Bah... You're not old. Still under 40 and I dont consider 40 old either. It's becoming clear to me know that I've got to start thinking of these ages as young, cause I'm gonna be there faster than I'd like.

by the way, I turned 5, 4 days before you turned 12 and 5 days before tritium was born.

As for the question, I believe that tophat is right is he not? A sad thing to note for me is that I used to know every word to both of those songs. :o

Well I must be the old man of the board... I turned 20 in June that year!

You got it. Next question is your's ...

Daddy???????

Yes son, I want to speak to you about that KISS crap you're listening to! heh heh.... just kidding

Oof, That was a total guess/"wouldn't it be funny if it were right" kind of thing.

OK, let's try this: The band called "Soft White Underbelly" went on to become what better know band?

(Edit: Sorry Kids, I have to be interested in the band to know the trivia, so it's either old or loud or both. I'm 34, but I'm more in the generation before mine than my own.)

Blue Oyster Cult

I've got a fever and the only cure is MORE COWBELL!!!

Absolutely! Rideough, your question.

What year did Zeppelin start Swan Song and what was its original name?


Sorry all I know is Zeppelin

Loved the Cult question, Tophat!

Thanks! I figured with my argument in the "Greatest Band Ever" thread, it was about time.

Unfortunately, other than their albums, I know diddlysquat about the Zep, so somebody else is going to have to answer the Swan Song question.

I hate it when I know something, but not off the top of my head.

I've read Jimmy Page's book "Hammer of the Gods" and I think Swan Song was started about 1976, but I don't recall what it's original name was.

I'm in the same spot on this one. It was definitly started in or prior to 1976 though, I was just listening to Presence and I noticed it on there and Presence is from 76'.

Well then I'm out.

nope, it was 74 but i won't tell the original name until tomorrow!

I have quite a few of their albums on vinyl, but have never replaced them on CD. Some of their old tune's were way out there. I remember one called "She's as beautiful as a foot"
I saw them in concert with Heart, Cheap Trick, UFO, and Firefall in the Gator Bowl. They had a huge Godzilla behind the drummer that shot lazers out of it's eyes during Godzilla.
I have no idea on the Zep question either!

rideough, we need a new question....

Yes, we do. I know next to nothing about Zep... sorry

Well.... I guess someone has to keep this thing moving along....
What band was Dave Mustaine a member of before Megadeth?

Metallica!!!

Swan Song was gonna be called Slut Records>

Your question Tophat!

still waiting for a question Tophat....

I just PM'd Tophat.

Thanks tritium!

Not a problem.

I move we let the first taker ask a question to move this along...
Somebody please ask a trivia question.

what late great blues guitarist made his major label debut on David Bowie's Lets Dance album?

muddy waters....

Stevie Ray Vaughan

The only guitarist I know that was on "Let's Dance" was Nile Rogers and he's not dead.

I'm stumped

First off, sorry about missing the question. My cable's been iffy for a couple of days, and I just got Tritium's PM today.

Not that it matters, but I am almost 100% certain that rideough is right on SRV. His guitar work on Cat People makes that song.

rideough is correct

SRV was on a David Bowie album?!?!?!?!?

Man, now I have to go find that album and listen to it again.

OK...

Who played drums on the Beatles song"Back in the U.S.S.R. ?

It wasn't Ringo......

I think it was Paul. He took over when Ringo "quit" during those sessions.

yep

your question!

People make fun of Meg White's drumming but they all forget how much Ringo sucked.

Watch it with the Ringo sucks stuff in here. A lot of Beatle fans around this board.

This is a trivia thread not an opinion thread.


OK, heres another real name question.

He was born Vincent Damon Furnier, who do we know him as now?

edit: I hit quote instead of edit.

I will add a hint in here instead.

He was born in 1948

Man... what happened there?
