How about a music trivia thread?
Answer it right, and you ask the next question.
I'll start-

Journey trivia
A) Members Neil Schon and Greg Rolie were in what famous guitar player's band before Journey.

Good luck

A) Santana
B) Babys

New Question:

I'll keep in line with the segue stuff, so Santana...One of Santana's big songs, "Black Magic Woman" was actually written and recorded by another group before him that later became famous when they came to the U.S.A. Who was that group?

Jdoe

perripken

Written by Peter Green- Fleetwood Mac
New question, should be relatively easy:

The original guitar player for Styx along with James Young, before Tommy Shaw was.......

Hint, he later formed his own band.

Hey,
I figured I'd give some other people a chance, but I just got out of work and it's been 9 1/2 hours and no answer.

Alan Parsons- Alan Parsons Project

New Question-

The backup band for Linda Ronstadt went on to record their own music. Who were they?

Just now noticing this thread, and I would have gotten the Pink floyd question (my fav band)

Anyway, I think Linda Rosntadt's backup band was the Eagles, but they went by a different name when they were with her (I think.)

New Question: (This could be pretty easy)

When Metallica were in New York on tour in 1983 who did Kirk Hammet replace in the lineup at guitar.

Bonus Question:

Who was Metallica's ORIGINAL bassist?

smiling_bob

Dave Mustaine was replaced by Kirk. Dave later formed Megadeth.

Also, the original bassist was Ron McGovney, later replaced by Cliff Burton, later killed and replaced by Jason Newstead.

New question: What band is Rob Zombie's brother frontman for?

Unknown Poster

Powerman5000


No question at this time....sorry.

God of Thunder

Ok, so I'll step in with an easy one to get the ball rolling again.

What is Sting's real name?





BTW, great job on the Alan Parson's answer. I really thought that would be tougher, but I see two people would have got it.

Hey G. O. T. , don't beat yourself up about the Alan Parsons thing, I don't think alot of people knew that, but the great thing is, now they do! That's what I love about this!

Next Question:

I know the answer, I know the answer, but I won't tell.

To play fair, I'll let someone else join the thread.



Now that people know the Alan Parsons thing, it explains why The APP sounded a bit like Pink Floyd doesn't it?

Wasn't Paul Carrack in Mike And The Mechanics with Mike Rutherford of Genesis? I think that's the connection.

Ahh crap, now I've got to think of a stumper.

*thinks*

Mandy Moore's guitarist (Jason Hook) used to be in a hair metal band. Name that band.

(Q)Steely Dans song, "Ricki Don't Lose That Number" is in reference
to What female songstress?

(extra credit- name her hit song)

I'm guessing Rikki Lee Jones, but I can't think of one of her songs without looking it up.



I'll wait for verificaion before posting the next question.

The song that hit it big was "Chuck E's in love", Is the God of thunder correct on Ricki Lee Jones Quasi? If this is true, it is an interesting trivia question. Ricki didn't come on the scene until the late 70's and Steely Dan's tune was earlier than that. Could Ricki Lee been a background singer for Steely Dan or something?
Might have to investigate!
I love this stuff!
Let the God of thunder know if he's correct so he can throw another question on us!

I'll go ahead with the next question to keep things moving, we can get an answer to the Steely Dan one later.


This one is inspired by the late Johnny Cash. (Man, it seems weird saying that.)

Johnny was one of only four performers to have been inducted into both the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame and the Country Music Hall of Fame:

Name the other three.

Man G.O.T. that's a tough one.......thinking...........I'm thinking Elvis must be one of them, I'm not sure on the other two. I don't want to cheat and use a search engine, so I'll let someone else try. I have some other guesses, though. I'll wait and see if someone else gets it.

One right, two to go.

To summarize:

1. Johnny Cash

3. ???
4. ???

You'd think so, but also incorrect.

Correct so far:

1. Johnny Cash - supplied by me.
2. Elvis Presley - by perripken
3. Hank Williams Sr. - by derwood


4. still looking for - This could be you folks!!

The original question: What four people are members of the counrty music and rock & roll halls of fame?


Hint - it's a producer.

Mutt Lang? No clue on the spelling, after you said producer, I'd guess him due to Twain/Def/acdc.

Jdoe

God of Thunder

NO, Mutt is not in either hall. Hasn't been around long enough.

Think older.


Another hint, he was associated with two of the other artists already listed.

Not another guess, but a question. Rock and roll hall of fame only requires 15 years right?

Jdoe

Derwood

I'll guess Carl Perkins

__________________

God of Thunder

Actually, I think it is 25 years.


And Carl Perkins is also incorrect.



This is getting long.

Another hint: Think Nashville.

Without cheating and searching the net, I'm stumped. I'd rather this thread be on the up and up, so I give up. As the originator of this thread, I'm going to make the two day rule. God of Thunder, you have the first stumper of the thread. Congratulations! You also should come up with a new question.

It was Sam Phillips, the owner of Sun records. (The collective sound of many people smaking their head. "D'oh, why didn't I think of that?"

1. Johnny Cash
2. Elvis Presley
3. Hank Williams Sr.
4. Sam Phillips

the only 4 people in the Rock & Roll and Country Music Hall of Fame.

I'll let someone else come up with the next question.

I like stumpers once in a while.

I feel like an idiot now! Especially after him having just passed away. I are teh suck!

Time to back up and go for an easy one. Time for the morale boosting question, everyone's smart now!

Someone save us!

Jdoe

God of Thunder

Allright, an easy one.

What is the connection between Lynard Skynard and .38 Special?

Definitely easy enough. I will pass though, must get new posters in this thread.

Jdoe

I too, will stand back on this one! C'mon people, we need some new blood in here!
