Music Quiz

Was it written in 1/1 time? Is there even such a thing?

It's called 1/1 because it is song 1 on side 1. The title has nothing to do with it.

There is no music?

More interesting than that. This isn't Cage we're talking about here. Brian Eno does actually write 'music'.

Yeah I know. I dig some of his shit, I remember a cool track off some movie soundtrack called Your Blue Room...I reckon that was awesome!

Edit: Just did some digging. It was by Passengers which was U2 & Brian Eno. The movie was Heat!

Scratch that it wasn't Heat...but don't want to derail this any further. It was a great tune though, turns out it's on a Passengers album called Original Soundtracks 1.

Is there only one arrangement over the 16 minutes or something? Played around with a bit?

One way of putting it. I can't completely give it away though. You are close in a way though.

Only say 5 or 6 different notes re-arranged differently for 16:30? Like not a full scale or anything? My musical theory knowledge is quite limited tbh so I can't be too specific!

It's not theory based at all. Look from a technical aspect, not a compositional aspect. Sorry I should have worded the question better. You are on the right track with the basis of it though.

It's entirely digitally composed? As in he only used samples of acoustic and electric pianos and didn't actually press a key himself?

As far as I know he didn't press a key himself. Although it wasn't digitally composed, it was all analogue back in the 70's.

aiii. what's the answer natho?

been well and truly long enough i reckon.

Yeah it has been a while. Griff may have got this one, or possibly someone who did Music at uni if they had seen it, but the answer was tape splicing.


Interesting fact #1: Brian Eno also created the startup sound for Microsoft Windows 95.

Someone else can ask the next one if they want.

name 3 groups that damon albarn has been a part of.

Blur, Gorrilaz and he was doing something with Danger mouse *cant remember the name* 

Blur

The Good, the Bad the Queen

Gorillaz

tristan. maybe you can have a go.

I'll ask.

Name another band apart from Gorillaz who have a song entitled "Clint Eastwood"

(Remixes of Gorillaz tunes do not count!)

Anyone?

No idea.

A clue then:

They were a reggae act.

Bob Marley and the Wailers?

UB40

I googled.... never heard of them!


Cute song though   

Nope and nope.

OK, I don't think anyone is going to get that...

It was the Upsetters.

Continuing the reggae vibe, The Upsetters included one very famous reggae / dub star. This person believes he's an alien. Who is it?

Bob Marley.

Lee Perry

Which reggae group was Michael Rose frontman for until 1985?

That sounds very English......UB40?

In 1989, their album Red was ranked #23 on Rolling Stone magazine's list of the 100 greatest albums of the 1980s.

Ok the answer was Black uhuru.

New question:
Which band opened for Metallica in Adelaide in 1993?

I'll go with Motorhead, they seem to like those guys.

Negative. Band is from California.

Chili Peppers

Death? 

neg neg

A. Kyuss

New Question:
Whats the name of the group of kids who sang
"Pass the dutchie to the left hand side"?

you should have waited a bit longer!

musical youth for the new question i believe.

 

name legendary australian singer johnny o'keefe's famous australian nephew and tell me what he does.

andrew o'keefe and deal or no deal/weekend sunrise/probably a musician himself of some sort since it's the music quiz!  i dunno.

yes yes and yes.

what was the big bite??

Sketch Show ala Comedy Inc.

ah, gay...


ok.. my question.

which aussie band covered The Churches - Under the Milkyway

does Bobby Flynn count?

 

not what i was thinking of!

*clue* - there's a brother & sister in this band

Spiderbait?

Killing Heidi?


I like the Bobby Flynn version 

Googled.

Not a big fan of the band but much respect is due for such awesome homegrown talent.




ps: keep trying

new clue!

female singer is also a classical singer and has sung in a few orchestras!  brother sings this song tho!

george?

 

woohoo!!

love katie noonan's voice!

My suburb is part of the City of Stonington and she sang at the Stonington Jazz festival the other week - unfortunately I was in Brissy so missed it

One of the greatest voices I have ever heard, without doubt. Did you see the Spicks and Specks episode where Alan Brough didn't want to get up and sing after her? She was singing from a book about rabbit care and it was still astonishing.

nah missed it. that show shits me now.

Who is the lead MC in Arrested Development

Scottish it is.

In the US Charts, there are only 2 artists to get #1 records for each year in a decade.

Name one of the artists and which decade they had #1's.

oooh good question.

will have to think about it.

Michael Jackson 80-90

(pure guess)

Nope Quazz.

Elton John, 70's?

It is a damn good question J.

johnny cash? 60's?

Elvis Presley 60's?

OK, no one has it so far, so here's a clue:

Think jazz for one of them, and really fucking lame for the other

mariah Carey 90s

she was runnin ish back then

Madonna, 90's???

Billy Ray Cyrus, 90s?

miles davis - 70's?

It's an exact decade right? Not an arbitrary 10 years?


I honestly can't think of anyone prolific enough in a single decade that's a contender that hasn't already been mentioned...

Bryan Adams 90's?

U2 90's?

Louis Armstrong?

common Mariah u good thing!!

one of them is Mariah... the other i don't know

U.S. Number-one singles

1990: "Vision Of Love"
1990: "Love Takes Time"
1991: "Someday"
1991: "I Don't Wanna Cry"
1991: "Emotions"
1992: "I'll Be There"

1996: "Always Be My Baby"
1997: "Honey"
1998: "My All"
1999: "Heartbreaker"
2000: "Thank God I Found You"

Quazz is right.

It's Mariah.

The other one is the Glen Miller Band in the 1920s

(although Wikipedia seems to contradict this...)

niiiceee. Only thought her cos J said lame and she's the biggest selling female artist of all time


Name the 4 orig kiss members and their nicknames

Can I phone a friend? 

Nige would know this for sure!

hurry up Chris;)

you know me too well mate.

paul stanley, ace freely, gene simmons and peter chris.


*rocks out*

ahh but what were their "aka" names?

i know there was catman, starchild (paul) and demon (gene).

not sure about the other one though. i can picture him, but still drawing a blank...

close enough for me

what was the other one mate?

Spaceman (Ace Frehley)

of course. should have known that!

how old was keith moon when he died? and for a bonus mark, which other famous musician died in the same room four years earlier?

No idea on the age, I'll guess 28. I think the other guy was original Stones member Brian Jones?

higher on the age, incorrect on the bonus point too.

31?

Jim Morrison? 

close enough. he was 32 years old.

the other person who had died in that very room was mama cass from the mama's and the papa's.

What song got Triple J taken off air for a few days in 1990?

(or it could have been 89!)

Madonna-Erotica?

No.... I thought you would have known this Quazza 

N.W.A. - Fuck Tha Police

Yeah i reckon Glocks got it. Made famous cos when they came back on air, they played it non stop for 24 hours in a row i think

yeah 

didn't realise they were taken off air- thought they went on strike

Pretty sure it was Express Yourself they played 24 hours straight...for obvious reasons!

Lemme think of a question....

Which jazz musician played a major role in an Australian movie directed by Rolf De Heer?

Miles Davis from memory.

Got it! I was hoping someone would say James Morrison! 

   I have never actually seen the film, is it any good?

What are the names of Frank Zappa's children? (any 2 will do actually as 4 might be a stretch)

Dweezle and Moon Unit.


I had no idea there were others! 

Moon Unit, Dweezil, Ahmet Emuukha Rodan and Diva Thin Muffin Pigeen.

Fire away.

Don't know mate, haven't seen it either. Colin Friels is a decent Aussie actor though so it might be good, it's called Dingo for those who are interested...


PS. Loved Dweezil in The Running Man he has a great line: 'Don't touch that dial!'

I expected nothing less bizzare. 




Which highly respected British artist has performed in the following bands/guises?

Pizzaman
Sensataria
Son of a Cheeky Boy
Son of Wilmot
Sunny Side Up
The Mighty Dub Katz
Yum Yum Head Food
Fried Funk Food

Norman Cook?

SCORE!!!




Was it the Mighty DubKatz that gave it away?

I would have guessed Norman Cook but the "highly respected" bit of the question turned me away from naming him.

Along with Pizzaman, Fried Funk and Son of Wilmont.

U2's "Angel of Harlem" was written about which female singer?

Bille Holiday

Who won raps, first ever grammy?

It was Fresh Prince wasn't it?

i also would've accpeted Will Smith

Is this my first post?...
Hi AM

Posts: 1

Welcome aboard!

Thanks. Been here a while but hardly get time to post anywhere these days.
Had a quick squiz for intro thread but found none.
If it's my go.. What was the first album to sell a million copies?
If not just ignore

The Official Welcome/Introduction Thread is stickied in the Random Banter section if you feel like saying hello!

Go Tony, you're up

 

What a score!!

OK.

Name three bands Matt Cameron has drummed for.

Soundgarden and then Pearl Jam.


how about one of the spin offs like Audioslave or A Perfect Circle?

Audioslave was Brad Wilk. A Perfect Circle was Tim Alexander and then Josh Freese so no. I have no idea of the answer though.

Well two are down (the easy ones). A clue is one was session drummer for high profile band and the other was side project super group.

i know Jimmy Chamberlain was having major smack problems around that time, so maybe the Pumpkins?

queens of the stone age? pre grohl?

Bingo. He was a session drummer for them but never actually performed live with them. The other band was Temple of the Dog.

cool. he was probably too embarrassed to be seen with them



Maxim from The Prodigy had a side project where he co-lab'd with artists such as The Sneaker Pimps and Skin from Skunk Anansie, and ended up releasing his own debut solo album in 2000. What was the name of this album?

"I'm Just a Dancer" ?

No, that was Leeroy the Dancer.

hint: it's also the name of a popular television series

Today Tonight? 

Lost?

Numbers? 

think more satan oriented....

supernatural

Hell's Kitchen? 

bingo!

crikey I didn't expect to get that one!

Name all the stringed instruments in an orchestra from smallest to largest.

violin
viola
cello
double bass
harp
piano (?)

yes!

Didn't need the piano on the list though 

On the same tip, there are eight woodwind instruments in an orchestra, name four of them.

Clarinet, Oboe, Bassoon & Flute?

you're up!

Who wrote the famous Italian opera Tosca?

Fucking love that album.

Puccini

Ottimo!

You're up!

c'mon Melvin

okay on puccini what was his first composition?

First Operatic composition or first composition? Could be quite difficult if it's his first composition.

If you know his first composition then kudos to you but I ain't got the slightest.
i guess i should have asked that better. 
I only know what his first operatic comp is.
came out in 1884(i think)

can we have a new question already

go for it man, it's been ages

No one answered the last one!
It was Le Villi!

Maybe a question not about classical.
Who won D&B producer of the year at the recent national D&B awards in the UK?

TC?

Calibre?

Actually I am thinking HC might also have been up there.

hazard...     shudder

i'd say peter russel clark as he was always a hude advocate of cheese

The contrast it is.
Over to you!

whoops.....

Ebony Dubsters - Ra was originally released single sided and etched. It is being re-released both on picture disc and black vinyl, backed up with (terrible) remixes by G-Dub and Original Sin. What label is it being re-released on?

Digital Soundboy?

easy as

What did album was #1 in Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list?

Never mind?

 Great album (obviously)

Well as I know it's right I'll ask away.

Don Letts played keyboard for which band?

lol at Nevermind Melvin! Surely you're taking the piss, Nirvana were so overrated it's not funny.

Besides the point but yes, it was Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band. Some fantastic songs on there to be sure...

It's Rollin tone we're talking about ehere, Mr lachlan.

Granted, but even they're not stupid enough to put Nevermind the number 1 rock album ever!

BTW it's Rolling Stone. Though Rolling Tone may fit being it's about music and all. Let's have another drink shall we? 

B.A.D - he was on Good News Week a few weeks ago (bad idea)

i know i'm right so.............

Veranda Music was an Adelaide institution in metal, no matter where it was located. What are three of it's former locations?

Was actually thinking beatles but 'nevermind' just seemed more likely as it is Rolling Stone.
Agree fully that they Nirvana were way over rated but just out of interest where did they post in the list?

Been done before I reckon.

#17

http://www.rollingstone.com/news/story/5938174/the_rs_500_greatest_albums_of_all_time/

Never went there much myself, Rundle St. was one right? Maybe Glenelg for another?

Top 20! Pretty good!
pretty poxy list though. the beatles 4 times and not much after 1970 in the top 10.

Can't believe no one knows Veranda Music. I reckon there must be a quiz strike going on or something.

I'll change it to, name TWO.

New question tomorrow night otherwise.

I know for sure  that Veranda music used to be in Rundle St just down from target.

And I'm going to guess Colonades and Tea Tree Plaza were the other locations.

i thought there was one at the bay...

you're all spelling it wrong.

it's verandaH

I saw a few acts in the Verandah Rundle St Basement, used to spend my hard earn cash there all the time when i was young... Never knew there was more than one store, or was the Rundle St store moved around?

Was there one on Kensington Rd for a while???

that's krypton discs




you thinking of Bid Star? Big Star had a basement, Verandah did not as far as i know.



okay, i'll give it to Funky J, because he guessed at least one location right. it was just one store that moved around a lot.

before rundle st it was in renaissance arcade across from the beer/bloke shop, and before that it was on the corner of the street behind uniradio whatever that's called. i have a strange feeling they moved to hindley street before rundle, but can't be sure.

oh verandah (Rundle St) definately had a basement, it fit bout 20 people max.  Not roomy to say the least as you can imagine. 

Oh i remember the shop near uniradio now, you're going back a while Kurko 

i stopped going to verandah rundle st after being violently assaulted, along with a friend, by the big cunt owner. we were thrown around the store by the scruff of the neck, knocking over racks of cds, he ripped our shirts off and made us take our pants off in the store by screaming at us. he thought we had stolen tshitrts and dacked them or something. all this with a head full of blue hair and this girl i had a major hots for happened to be in the store at the time too.

awesome!

Pfft. I guessed the same location (Rundle) 4 days ago! Did you miss that post?

sorry mate

your go then

Which accomplished musician in his own right wrote the title track on Tina Turner's massive hit album Private Dancer, the ode to prositutes and strippers the world over ( )?

hmmm... after a quick listen, i'd say phil collins

Nope. The drumming's not good enough. 

Oh man it's the dire straights dude and I've gone totally fkn blank on his name lol

 

You're asking for it to be stolen from you so I'll let you have it.

Mark Knopfler.

I had the best clue if no one was getting it too: two words, Fender, headband.

oh dear me... i thought that said Fechner, headband. images of a mast frenzy came to mind.


kill me.

lol cool


who started WOMAD?

hippies

negative

it was peter gabriel wasn't it?

"i want to be your sledgehammer"

Yes you're right, that's the only one I can clearly remember

going to lunch now though. you ask one julian if you want. otherwise i'll be back when i feel like it.

My Happiness - Powderfinger?????

edit - wrong!!!! That's about four years too early!

How about

Scar - Missy Higgins?????

Take me out- Franz Ferdie or the finger -wish you well.
The last five have all blended into one in my memory lol

I stopped paying attention when they changed from the Hottest 100 of all time to the Hottest 100 of the year!

scar came second to Franz Ferdinand so I'm goin with Take me out

 

Could you imagine if they did another Hottest 100 of all time?

 

I dare say it would be more lame than the yearly one is.

 

Where did it all go wrong.

fair call.

take me out it was.

When nirvana took the throne! Anyways.....

Name 2 of the Battle Hoggs?

hmmm  do u count greatest hits as albums?

I dont

If you do, its the Eagles Greatest Hits i think

Correct. Pretty sad hey! 29x Platinum!

i'll ask an easy one. the verve had a big hit in the late 90's with their song bittersweet symphony. name another hit they had and for a bonus mark, the lead singer from the band.

The Drugs Don't Work not sure on his name

that will certainly do. i would have also accepted 'lucky man'. the singers name was richard ashcroft. idiot left the group to follow a solo career, had one song then disappeared.

sorry, forgot about this.

Name the 3 founding members of Queen

brian may, freddie mercury and roger taylor.

lovely

indeed. only thing lacking there was a white blood cell count.

who wrote th music for classical gas?

Hmmm. Sounds like a tune that I use to love, but all that is popping into my head right now is fucking Young Einstein.
Yahoo Serious?   

It wasn't Jose Feliciano was it? Only acoustic guitar nut I can think of from around that time...

nope and nope.

he was an american guitarist.

All I know is Lisa Simpson played it once!

oh we might have the music at home because I made buzz try to play it after Lisa did 

i love that bit.

"now play classical gas"

come on guys!

i can't believe no one has got this yet.

Wilson someone... or someone Wilson. Maybe Winstone.

It's the best I can do from asking the guitar blokes.

what, it's not on Guitar Hero, J?

Yeah my Guitar dude at work says he know's Clapton did a cover but didn't actually write it

yeah that's what i figured most would think.

that's why i said he was american.

you're actually on the right track. last name starts with Wi.........

he's also won a few emmy awards for comedy writing.

Andy Williams

last name is right

will give it till tomorrow morning.

John wiliams, but my guitar guru tells me thats a cover and that the origonal was by an act called Manaheim Steam Roller!

well you can be the first to tell your guitar guru friend he is a clown.


it was mason williams.

whoever gets in first can have it...

Season 8 of the Simpsons only starred one singer/song writer - who was it?

How many songs from the Beatles "Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band" were released as singles?

1?

all of em

(clearly i have no idea)

great question j.

i'm not sure on this. i initially thought none. but after thinking about the tracklist on the album, i reckon there's at least 4 or 5 that would have been.

hrmmm.

I've told you before Chris, you really should stop thinking so much!

I'll give this to you, as it was indeed none.

Those crazy Beatles and their anti-establishment ideas!

i thought that was right. so many good songs though made me think otherwise.


who sung the classic australian song 'i'm not in love'?

For some reason I'm thinking 10cc even though I have no idea who they are or what songs they did!

I thought Sargent peppers lonely hearts club band got released as a single with A little help from my friends on the B side. Came out later I think(76/78)? Could be totally off the mark though.

10CC definitely sang 'I'm Not In Love' they're British though, maybe Chris is referring to a different song with the same name. I can't think of one but I do remember a female Australian singer doing a cover...

you're up sera.

my mistake. for some reason i thought they were australian. *hides*

why am i up?

oh fuck. completely ignore me ser. having a bad day.

you're actually up deathmaze!

what's the name of Metallica's up-coming album?

past it's used by date???

I'm ashamed to admit I know this, but it's going to be offered as a download for Guitar Hero so that's how I know...:E

Stupidest name for an album ever - "Death Magnetic"

god, at least mine's relevant!

u people are on drugs. Its been produced by Rick Ruben(that alone excites me) and described as the album that could've come after Justice for All and the Black album. A lot more thrashy than anything they've done in the last 10 years

Will be the first album Rob Trujello has been involved in, PLUS Kirk Hametts screaming solos are back!!



recognise greatness!

sounds good.


what was the question, funk?

no.

just haven't been into them for a good 10 years now. have better music i'd rather listen too. ;)

what, like DnB?



;)

hahaha.

maybe.

you know what i like. :inlove:

Fuck, I hate Metallica. I can't even play Guitar Hero because One is in it, and you need to play it to get to the final boss :angry:

Ok, so my question is which sucks more Metallica, or... or...

Shit, I can't think of anything worse than Metallica...

:E


Who is Frederick Bulsara better known as?

why do Metallica suck so much exactly? I can understand that u may not like them, they're not for everyone and i mean, u like breaks. But how do they "suck"

 :lol: Pwned!

One is a classic J! The lyrics are based on an awesomely depressing (but highly recommended) film too, Johnny Got His Gun...

Have you seen Some Kind of Monster?

Seriously, what a bunch of spoilt, weak, pathetic little retards.

I mean, I can understand one person in a band acting like they had been dropped on their heads as a baby, but all of them???

And their music is just crap. Here's how to write a Metallica song:

Quiet opening, bang the drums a bit, scream a bit, play a way too long guitar solo that sounds technical and cool to guitards (like that word? I just made it up then) but REAL musicians know it's simply whistles and bells, scream some more, end.

That enough of a reason for you Quaz?

Because I could go on, but that will make Chris upset that no one has answered the question...

shit. i didn't even realise that you had asked one.


no idea.

only fred i can think of is freddie mercury, but he's well dead now.

Excellent work J

That's who I was gonna guess! Does it have to be someone alive?

Chris got it!

i have seen it, a number of times and thought it was great. I can understand the "dropped on their heads term" for Lars(fine, he's a nutcase) but the other 3? Please.

And their music has been some of the most influential music heavy metal has ever seen. They aren't real musicians? Thats a joke. The 2 guitarists alone are considered 2 of the best the world has seen-Just because you don't like it, doesn't make is shit J.

Um... yes it does, dude.

You asked me why I think they're shit, and I gave you the reasons. It's a lot more than what many other people would have.

With Metallica, I've listened to their albums in full, I've watched the documentaries on them and I've seen them live. I've even listened to other people's opinions to try and get why people like them so much.

But nothing has ever swayed me from thinking they are anything but shit.

You might think the same about breaks, or PWEI, or my face, whatever - the difference is I don't give a shit ;)

sweet. i thought i was wrong because of the whole alive/dead thing too. :lol:


who performed the song dreamweaver?

this speaks volumes about your mindset and frankly it's one i can't be bothered with.

Chris, many people have sung it. I'll go with Reo Speedwagon

that'll do.

would have preferred gary wright, but you do have me on a technicality. :)

all i have in my head is j & the doctor singing it on triple j!

really? i actually thought he'd be right up your ali

ba boom tish

:rofl:

pay that.

I read the siege played Boots Were Made For Walking by Nancy Sinatra, which would get me and my cultists up and dancing!

But also ready the Achy Breaky Heart thing...

To answer the Bob Dylan question, was it self titled?

I think one of his albums is, but not sure if it's the first one.

nice 1 J, self titled it indeed was

ha! pulled that out of my arse  :E

Which band starts their song "Ray's guitar broke. No, we won't play ride, we won't play anything"

who was the lead singer of Kyuss

i can't believe i don't know this. *shoots self*

josh homme was just lead guitar wasn't he?

yer he was just lead guitar

QOTSA is all i got...

next question maybe.

had forgotten bout this sorry

It was John Garcia

Queen are set to release a new album later this year. Who's handling the vocals?

Queen! are you for real? Old rockers are starting to flood the market!

I'm gonna guess.... The dude from the scissor sisters

ha nah, but he'd be a great fit wouldn't he

I'm thinking some old Brit rocker. Sting maybe (that's if the Police reunion is now over)? I think his voice would be a good fit.

not sting but old brit rocker is correct

Ol' Gravel Voice Rod Stewart?

nope

Was the lead singer of another fairly big band

Roger Daltrey?

I just looked up the answer.

A clue is he was lead singer of  band who shared the same name as a DnB supergroup.

Bad Company? No idea on their lead singer though...

yer lead singer of Bad Company

Just give it to me, I'm the only one guessing here!  :E

I got the band name...  :biggrin:

Paul Rodgers

lol all yours mate

Hehe...

Which controversial lead singer has directed the latest Ice Cube family friendly pap, The Longshots?

Fred Durst

oh god no, please no.

My thoughts exactly  :whut:

Correct!

Apparently his first film, a little indie festival type thing was really good!

I love sports films so I might 'test drive' this one out but I'm pretty skeptical!

 :rofl: :rofl: :rofl:
I was soooo taking the piss!
ah well, Cyndi Lauper has a new album out. Whats it called?

he was awesome when i saw him a few years ago for the ultimate rock symphony. great stage presence.

There was a concert with him and Queen on abc2 a few weeks ago. He was really good and could totally pull off being the front man of Queen!

damn. wish i saw it.

interesting they are going with "Queen and Paul Rodgers" rather than just Queen

You can probably youtube it... I think it might have been Nelson Mandela's birthday concert!

sweet. will get onto it tonight i reckon. :thumbsup:

anywho. melvin. ask away. :)

saw it in rip it up a few weeks ago-to the brink?

i dunno, something about a brink

Pay that.
