Music trivia
Man.... I've been gone a long time... I didn't think my music trivia post would die! Where's my buddy God of Thunder? Anyways... lets see if we can get it going again....
Name the singer who is currently fronting Queen on tour. |
What's the name of that tune adopted by the GOLF Association that
you hear before every Golf tournament on TV? Lots of violins and strings swirling in a instrumental "Spring-day-in-Nature" sound. |

paul rogers........ name 2 bands that paul rogers fronted. |
Free & Bad Company
Name the other band he fronted. (hint: It was with Jimmy Page) I think what happened with the old was was that it just ran it's course. I tried to revive it a couple of times and Flyman helped, but it fell by the side. Glad to see it back again. You may want to re-post the rules from the original. Glad to see it back. Let the stumping begin. |
Quote:
What band was Jimmy page with in mid 60s for a year or three. |
The Yard Birds
What band performs the song "Eat Steak", currently heard in Boston Market comercials? |
Quote:
What British glam-rockers was forced to retitle a single in 1971 that was about to bring his band international fame when an American group called Chase charted with a song by the same name? Edit: Forgot to ask a question. :o |
The question on the board is a stumper... we need a new, easier question Anxst.
|
Or a new question???
How, or should I say, from who, did the Ramones get that name? |
Quote:
The Ramones got their name from Paul McCartney, who used to call himself Paul Ramone when playing with his brother. New Question: What fictional member of the band Gorillaz supposedly fed-exed themselves to the audition for the band according to the band's backstory? |
Noodle, the Japanese guitarist.
From what movie did Duran Duran get their name from? |
DAMN!!!!!
i freakin' know this too............. i'll be back |

Since we're on band names... Question: Jethro Tull is not a member of the band Jethro Tull. From whence did they get their name? |
Jethro Tull was a 16th? Century English Inventor. Not entirely sure if it was an improved plough or seed drill that he invented.
As long as we're on Jethro Tull, they've put out two albums that are each one long song. Name one to go forward, both to get a cookie. |
Jethro Tull was the inventor of the seed drill, if I remember rightly.
The two albums are Thick as a Brick and A Passion Play. Cookies for me! Question: The Cure, formerly named The Easy Cure, was originally formed in the late 70's in Crawley, England, with what band name? |
what is the name of Elton John's former boyfriend/songwriter?
|
jaymes, you have to answer the previous question before posting another.
BTW, Anxst, the answer to yours is "Obelisks", although they switched to "Malice" a few years after. At its smallest, Belle and Sebastian boasted how many members? |
Just to answer jaymes' question, it is Bernie Taupin.
But, per the rules, Bob Biter's question is currently the live one. For those of you not aware of them, they are: From version 1 of this thread. Quote:

Good call knowing they were originally Obelisks, though! |
Belle and Sebastian, a British band that is credited for the entire soundtrack to the film "Storytelling" had 7 members originally, but now only has 5.
Next question: Which of David Bowie's albums contains his first #1 US hit? |

You are correct, Anxst! Fire away.
|
Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin used to often play two guitar songs (White Summer/Black Mountainside) that were listed as written by him. They are actually sped up versions of two old folk songs with the words removed. What were the two folk songs?
|
Oh Susanna and Camptown Races?
|
Quote:
The correct answer is She Moves Through the Fair and Blackwater Side. So, new question: Led Zeppelin also played a song entitled "Boogie with Stu". Who was Stu? |
"Stu" was Ian Stewart, tour manager for the Rolling Stones.
ZZ Top was formed by members of which two bands? |
Billy Gibbons was in the "Moving Sidewalks" as far as I can remember, but I'm not sure after that.

Sorry for the delay, I was at my sister's for the holidays.
Paul Young's big hit in the 80's was "Everytime You Go Away" was originally writen and recorded by what Philedelphia artist? |
Philly artist....... hmmmm I'll go with Chubby Checker.....lol just a guess.
|
kay........i found either.....Daryl Hall
or Brian Mcknight. |
I believe it was originally wrtten by Darryl Hall, of Hall and Oates.
|
Darryl Hall is correct. Flyman had it first.
|
brain freeze this mornin' fellas........i'll let someone else ask the next one.
|
I think Anxst should get the honors.
|
Thank you, gentlefolk. Okay, we'll go for a tough one and see what happens.
At the time of his death, Jeff Buckley was working on an album, of which the unfinished tracks were released as "Sketches for My Sweetheart the Drunk". This album began life as a writing contest between Jeff and what other famous musician to see who could write the best song? |
Seems I've posted another thread killer.
Someone else take the helm! |
I'll toss out a softball question.......
The Who and the KINKS have a very common thread (musically). The early success of both was due to a US producer. He produced the KINKS until Ray Davies pushed him out and he went onto produce the Who...... Who was this producer? Extra points if you can tell me what else these 2 bands had in common once they began working with this producer. |
The producer was Shel Talmy, but, for the life of me, I don't know what they had in common! Tell me!
|
Both groups changed their name to their popular one after they started recording with Talmy.
The Ravens became the Kinks and the High Numbers became the Who. (I don't know about the Who but Talmy didn't have anything to do with the Kinks name change.) Just a little trivia..... Good show Bob your turn. |
