GoT, you are, of course, correct. the difference between the versions is that the one on Coda is a "live" recording of a sound check. and, I must point out, its a fucking fantastic rendition of the song, even better than the original studio recording.
|
Do I get the next question then?? Or do we have a stumper?
|
I believe G.O.T. that you have the floor. Do you have any Righteous Brothers trivia in honor of Bobby?

My question is about the movie "Say Anything" Cameron Crowe used Peter Gabriel's "In Your Eyes" during the famous boombox scene. What song had originally intended to use there? A little background on it: This song was not only scrapped for that scene, it was not used in the movie at all, despite the fact the words followed the plot line. The band later used it on their upcoming album and it was one of their biggest hits. |
Hint time:
The song in question was released on an album simply titled "11". |
The Smithereens: A Girl Like You?
(note: I cheated again (www.allmusic.com is a great site), so I wont ask the next question) |
Quote:
Next question, but hopefully not a stumper. Where did the band Duran Duran get their name? |
this one I know without cheating. the name Duran Duran comes from the movie Barbarella, a great cheesy scifi flick from the late 60 starring Jane Fonda, showing off her lovely assets in really skimpy outfits. Duran Duran was the bad guy, as I recall.
Ill post a question shortly, once I think of something. |
ok, here's one. what Primus song features the story-telling talents of Tom Waits?
|
Not a Primus fan, so I have no idea. One hour and 19 minutes away from stumpdom.
|
The only Primus song I know is the "South Park" theme. :D
|
"Tommy the Cat" from "Sailing the Seas of Cheese"
|
correct Derwood. great song too, btw.
|
...in search of Derwood for the next question........it's been over 24 hours......
|
sorry....even though i knew i was right, I wanted confirmation...
Question: What infamous Philadelphia punk rock band changed their stage names for each album? |
Yo Derwood, the only famous Philly punk rock band I know is Joan Jett and the Blackhearts, and I'm unfamiliar with them changing their stage names, so I'm out! Man dude.... you gotta come up with something easier after you have a stumper, like who was the drummer for the Beatles! Heh Heh ...... ar ar !!!!
|
"who was the drummer for the Beatles!"
Pete Best |
Hint?
The band's name shares a word with another famous punk band fronted by Jello Biafra. |
Was it the Dead Milkmen?
That's the only other punk band I could think with Dead in the title...nothing came to mind with Kennedy in it... |
Quote:
Guess you're up with the next question! |
All right...here's an easy one:
What is the real name of the Electric Slide song? |
Would it be Electric Boogie?
If so, then who originally sang "Tainted Love." Hint: Its a female. |
madsenj37...you got it!
I think I know the answer to yours, but after realizing I don't know that many good trivia questions, I'll just keep my guesses to myself! :) |
"If so, then who originally sang "Tainted Love." Hint: Its a female."
If my memory serve correctly, that would be Diana Ross and the Supremes. Personally though, I like Soft Cell's version better. |
Its not Diana Ross or the supremes
|
Madsenj37, your question is officially a stumper. Congratulations,next question please.
|
It was Gloria Jones.
Next question then, What band did Jimi Hendrix cover when he covered 'Hey Joe'? |
Im guessing you are going for the Leaves, but could also be The Byrds. interesting story behind this song. from AMG
"AMG REVIEW: Whether a turn-of-the-century tale of infidelity avenged or a far more recent parody of same, "Hey Joe" proved one of the most enduring standards of the '60s for West Coast acts including Jimi Hendrix, the Byrds, the Leaves, Love, Cher, Johnny Rivers, the Standells, the Shadows of Knight, and the Music Machine. In fact, artists from all over America and Britain tried the song on for size as well, including Wilson Pickett, Tim Rose, the Creation, Deep Purple, the Cryan Shames, Willy Deville, and, later, Nick Cave, Ice Cube, and the Make-Up. Though his wasn't the first version — or even the first to become a hit — Hendrix's became the definitive reading, as heard on his debut single and the opener on his first LP, 1967's Are You Experienced? The main figure in the authorship question regarding "Hey Joe" is Dino Valenti (born Chester Powers and also known as Jesse Oris Farrow). Valenti, the composer of "Get Together" by the Youngbloods and a peripheral West Coast name throughout the '60s, appeared in the original lineup of Quicksilver Messenger Service during 1964, but was jailed for a drug bust before recording with them. Later, he lived on a houseboat with notorious drug buddy David Crosby of the Byrds, and there introduced him to "Hey Joe." He also copyrighted the song under his given name, Chester Powers. Apparently, it was written — or possibly, just arranged from an earlier traditional song — by Billy Roberts, a West Coast folksinger of undiscovered vintage, and scholars have suggested that Valenti legally bought the song from Roberts. As Lester Bangs summarized the situation, "There was this song called 'Hey Joe' that everybody and his fuckin' brother not only recorded but claimed to have written, even though it was obviously the psychedelic mutation of some hoary old folk song which was about murderin' somebody for love, just like nine-tenths of the rest of them hoary folk ballads." Crosby liked the song, began playing it at Byrds shows during 1965, and intended to eventually record it on one of the band's albums. John Beck of the Leaves also heard the song, and also wanted to record it with his band. Reportedly, he asked Byrds manager Jim Dickson for permission to record the song, and permission was granted — though Dickson later denied that he even replied to the request. In any case, the Leaves released "Hey Joe" in November 1965, but were unhappy with the results. After another version of the song failed, the Leaves tried it one more time with added fuzztone guitar, and watched the single become a regional hit. It finally made the Top 40 in June 1966, and one month later, the Byrds' version surfaced on their third album, Fifth Dimension. Both Love and the Shadows of Knight also recorded their versions of the song by the spring of 1966. On October 23, 1966, three weeks after the Jimi Hendrix Experience formed, the trio entered the studio for the first time. Hendrix, bassist Noel Redding, and drummer Mitch Mitchell recorded a song that manager Chas Chandler heard Hendrix playing in New York, a slowed-down version of the hit making waves for the Leaves in America. Though singer/songwriter Tim Rose deserves credit for being the first to divert from the fast-paced garage reading of the song, Hendrix made it his own as soon as his single was released (according to Mitchell, the first version recorded was the one used for the master). With Mitchell's lone snares sounding like shots from a gun, and Redding's walking bass echoing the on-the-move nature of the song, Hendrix delivers the vocal (one of his first, after a long history of backup roles) with a fitting type of careless unease. Though he stretches out the first few words of his lines (each one begins with the exclamation "Hey Joe"), on the ends Hendrix's voice explodes into deeper meaning at the end of lines: "Where you going with that gun in your hand?" His guitar solos are blistering, though restrained within the mid-tempo rhythm until after the lyric is finished — "I'm heading way down South where I can be free/I'm heading Mexico way, no hangman's about to put a leash around me" — when he really lets loose. Pitched to Britain's freer, more receptive singles market, "Hey Joe" rose into the Top Ten in early 1967, the dawn of a new era of guitar experimentation and psychedelic blues. — John Bush" |
You got it. I was looking for The Leaves.
"Hey Joe, where are you going?" is by The Leaves which became the song "Hey Joe." |
Yo Sion, you are supposed to try and guess on your own knowledge, no cheating allowed. If we all surfed for the answers, this would be no big challenge. Excuse me if I'm wrong, but it appears you surfed!
|
ok Madsen, based on the fact that Sion isn't responding and the thread is over 24 hours old, you have another stumper. Please ask an easier question so that someone else can ask a new one!
|
What was the first music video to play on MTV?
|
a song by the beatles?

Quote:
yes I did. which is why I didnt ask a question. and I probably wouldnt have even posted the answer, but I found the amg article so interesting I wanted to share it with yinz. I should have waited though, for the question to become an official stumper. sorry. as to the current question, I know this one off the top of my head. Video Killed the Radio Star, by the buggles my question: what was the name of David Lee Roth's band that eventually became Van Halen when the VH brothers joined? |
Quote:
Oddly enough the question I had on deck is related. After Sammy joined Van Halen, he still owed his record company an album so he released an un-named solo album and had a contest to name it. What was the album eventually called? |
I love Sammy's solo stuff, but never really got into the Van Hagar thing. However I loved Montrose! Too bad Sammy and Ronnie couldn't get along, although I heard they did a reunion gig this past summer. On the flipside, I never liked David Lee Roth's solo stuff, but loved Van Halen.
Gotta think of a new question.... I'll be back! |
Oops! never answered the question! Stupid me!
The album was "I never said goodbye" |
Ok here's the question:
Name Billy Gibbons band before he joined ZZ Top. |
