And he also played the acid freak in the toilets in Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

You're up.

He also looked remarkably like Goldie in that scene.

Didn't know about that one.

'personal Jesus' was sung/made by who origionally? (Johnny Cash does a really good cover)

have always thought that myself actually.....

depeche mode

Yolp!

still the best version in my opinion.



Phil Anselmo used to be the singer for Pantera. He now sings for who?

Agree but heard HMC play a remix the other night and it was pretty good. Can't remember who it was by.


Super joint ritual? or Down? One of of them still exists I think. Unless he's got a new band?

yeah i was looking for Down

Have they got anything recent out? Last I heard of them was like 2006ish.


Who does the vocal on High Contrast's 'f we ever' and where did the vocal sample come from?

vocals by Diane Charlemagne

i reckon she sang the vocals but i could be wrong  :E

didn't realise it was sampled and not recorded specifically

Yeah I'd pay that only cause I'm not 100% on the 'sampled' part.
It is Dianne Charlemagne and could have sworn it came off of Goldies Timeless album but as I say not 100% so fluke your up.

i dunno about it coming from timeless...

sampling timeless = express trip to the bottom of the nearest staircase courtesy of goldikus

:lol:

Yeah I'm probably wrong about that bit. Woops

Which well known Australian band formed in the late 80s, took their name from a Neil Young song?

Powderfinger

too easy. question lasted all of 38 seconds :lol:

lol

oh man i got nothing ummm ok how sets of brothers were there in Jodeci?

Chase and Status's album 'more than alot' came out on which popular record label?

It was on Ram wasn't it?

sure was.

What was the first release on Virgin Records?

(Mad tune BTW) :music:

Tubular Bells by Mike Oldfield as far as I can remember.

Bingo!

I really thought that one would've held up for a bit longer than one post lol!

Good work K Man.

i read the branson biography and it was the most exciting part of the book  :lol:

actually i wasn't too sure if that was actually the first release or if it was one of the first, anyway...



Nirvana's MTV Unplugged in New York contained covers of songs by four different artists. Name three of them.

The Vaselines?
the meat puppets?
Dunno why but just remember Kurt mentioning these artists. Been a while

yup. think about the songs on the release and another artist will become blindingly obvious...

David Bowie - The Man Who Sold The World
??? - Lake Of Fire
??? - About A Girl
??? - ???

That's all I've got lol.

Bowie it is.

if someone can come up with the other artist go ahead, i dare you. otherwise you two can duke it out  :hehe:

was it the Meat Puppets?? I used to always think wtf when Curt mentions them on the recording...

meat puppets were already mentioned.  they actually came on to the set to play guitar for three songs.

the last remaining artists wrote the concluding song "where did you sleep last night?"

One of my favourite old skool blues songs of all time.  :music:

so you can tell me who performed it then?

Yellow Leadbelly!  :lighter:

woohoo!

you can go then

What a dip shit! Bowie was the first to spring to mind and I talked myself out of it cause I couldn't remember the song. DOH!

go if you like, no skin off my back

it's only the internet    :hehe:

I'll leave it to Alana. I got nothin

Alrighty. Name the two artists who have been referred to as the 'Godfather and Godmother' of grunge.

Kurt Cobaine and Courtney Love


( i have no idea)

Nah, think of a band which emerged in the late 70's.

Maybe Thurston Moore and Kim Gordon from Sonic Youth? They started in the 80's though.... I have no idea.

Jonnie Rotten and some girl?

Sid and Nancy?

Haha shit, that's who I meant! Just popped back in to edit mine!  :lol: :lol:

:nahnah:

But how can Nancy be a godmother of grunge when she didn't play any music?

She was just a blonde groupie, the lucky bitch scored Sid (hotness) and a whole lotta heroin.

And you got it right DM, but didn't they form Sonic Youth in the late 70's? I know they met up at the very least in '76.

Wikipedia says '81.

Jack Black's wife plays what instrument?

ps. gary oldman as sid was hotness but the real sid was grossness  :hurl:

The Cock?

(clearly once again-no idea)

Most probably, but I meant a classical musical instrument ;)


I love how you spelled Cock with a capital C  :lol:

Cello?

Yes! With a capital C  :lol:

What a coup! She got beaten up and abused on the regular before finally being stabbed to death by him. Quite a 'lucky bitch' indeed! :E

 :lol:

I forgot about that. Smart arse.

Haha wild guess there by me!

OK, what band does the lead singer of Birds of Tokyo also sing in?

Karnivool isn't it?

Sure is, go for it.

who's the dude in my avatar sporting the "Skullet"

HAHA

EASY

lol so come one then. answer

Devin Townsend - SYL

Name the both the writer and the performers of the song "I Don't Like Mondays"

Bob Geldoff and Boom Town rats

love that song. pretty sure i've asked that question in here before too.

who's the not-yet-famous teenager Bruce Springsteen pulls up on stage in the film clip to Dancing in the Dark

courtney cox

ali picked up on that the other week while drew was around. :lol:

lol

thought Adam Sandlers Sat Night Live skit would've been the giveaway

haven't seen it.

what is michael jackson's song billie jean about?

a chick claiming he's the father of her kid>?

lol was thinking it was gonna be some sorta trick question


which Oz music icon (imo) just released and auto biography of sorts, titled "Shots"

In your opinion, hey?

I'm gonna guess... Holly Valance!

Ed Keupper?

nope

I'm thinking someone from Chisel maybe.

Ian Moss?

ahhh Chisel yes, Mossy no

;)

If its called Shots then it wouldn't be Barnesy as he drank straight from the bottle.

Don Walker?

lol Mr Walker it is

one of the greatest song writers this country has produced

One of??? I would go as far as saying THE greatest songwriter this country has produced!

Which lead singer of a very well known UK band famously said "If Morrissey says not to eat meat, then I'll eat meat; that's how much I hate Morrissey".

Robert Smith? Johnny Rotton?

One of the gallaghers?

Correct

Ok, which album features the guitar riff of Neil Young's 'Cinnamon (sp?) Girl'?

edit: it wasn't a cover either, more like... sampling.

Hint: it is featured on a punk rock album which was released in 1991.

anyone at all?

No idea... after the extra hint I don't even understand the question!

It's an album that featured on another album?  :confused:

Let's see now, my train of thought goes: alana -> punk rock '91 -> Courtney Love -> Hole -> Pretty on the Inside -> Starbelly -> I'm a fucking champion!

Although I did have to google to remember the name of the album and I would never have known the name of the song, so I don't know if I deserve the win!

I went in here to give someone else a go at questions.

 :lol:

DM you are indeed a fucking champion. Do you like the album? As raw as it is, I think it is one of the finest punk rock albums ever.

Can hardly remember it, although I do remember thinking that it was a shame she couldn't sing and sounded like shit  ;)

You should ask another question coz I did a little bit of google to get to the final answer!

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

:clap:

Fair point. Like Neil Young and Johnny Rotton, she is NOT a very good singer. However, I am a musical or lyrical person. The singing element has to be really fucking special for me to appreciate it as much.

You can go for your efforts ;)

Her singing definitely improved over time but that first album (or what I heard of it) was sooo terrible, it has to be some of the worst singing of all time. And what made it worse was the music wasn't bad! I wanted to listen to the instruments but couldn't pay attention over all that off key noisemaking she was doing! All I could think of was "JUST SHUT UP FOR A MINUTE"!!!

Thanks for reminding me of the album though  :lol:

Who is considered the godmother of punk?

hint: I also hate her singing a lot too!

Cool cool  :lol:

Hmm... was Patti Smith the godmother of punk? Don't know what she sounds like though. All I know about her is the mars-bar incident!

Stevie Nicks? She wasn't punk-like, but has her influence though.

Correct, it was Patti Smith  :biggrin:

But I do also hate Stevie Nicks voice, good guess  :lol:

 :lol: Yeah, good songs though!

Umm... how does the Stone Temple Pilots describe 'big bang baby'?

It's a Crash, Crash, Crash

 :biggrin:

You got it!

I heart that song so much.

Flea, Jack Irons & Hlel Slovak only thought the Red Hot Chili Peppers a side project at the time they formed it with Anthony Kedis. What was the name of their serious band at the time?

what is this?

That is it

 :biggrin:

Where did Joy Division's name originate?

dammit i remember hearing about this and thought 'wow what a great piece of trivia' but then forgot it, cos it's trivial  :lol:


stupid brain - not remembering things of no importance!  :hehe:

It was a division in the Nazi concentration camps housing prisoner sex slaves for the troops I believe.

YES!

well, that's what i was told

Yeah thats what I was lookin for

Cool.


What is unusual about Walter Carlos, the composer of the soundtracks to A Clockwork Orange, The Shining and Tron?

His taste in music is pretty unusual! I never thought I'd hear singing in the rain in something other than Disney

He is a She?

Because Wendy Carlos is credited with the music score of Tron...

:yup:

He/she had the chop sometime after doing the ACO soundtrack which is why you'll find original versions floating around credited to Walter Carlos but subsequent re-releases have been under the name Wendy Carlos.

Nice memory there FJ.

Memory? I just fired up the Tron DVD :p

Who is the producer of U2s latest album?

Dangermouse


(no idea but he's producing everyone else)

I'd take a stab at the old standbys. Brian Eno or Daniel Lanois.

Which one?

Eno i'd guess

There was 3 wasn't there? Brian Eno being one of them...I got that from your mate's scathing review. :lol:

i dunno but their new single is shit

 :lol:

they haven't not been shit since 1990...

Eno was the name I was looking for - Wellbeing is up :thumbsup:

What is the highest selling album of the 1960s?

Well it would have to be the Beatles.....I'd say Sgt Peppers Lonely Hearts Club Band.

I reckon I read this somewhere recently. Was it by Led Zepplin?

Not sure what album though.

Edit: Just did a bit of searching and I would have to say this question doesn't actually have an answer as nobody actually knows. The exact figures are basically unknown as proper records of album sales weren't kept until the late 80's.

Zeplin had the 2nd highest selling of the 60s. So close!
Dat, ur close. Right band, wrong album (Peppers 4th highest selling of the 60's).

If it is the Beatles then it would have to be the White Album.

I still think the question is flawed though as the actual answer is basically unknown.

White Album it is.

Agreed.

I looked into it and the general consensus is nobody is sure. Both the White Album and Sgt Peppers sold over 30 Million but that's all they can say.

Fuck knows how it was worked out back then. Considering Thriller is estimated to have sold somewhere between 45 & 110 million copies. Surely they can find a figure closer than a difference of 65 million records????

except for sunday bloody sunday, they've been shit forever. most overrated band ever. they make pearl jam look good.

ok yeah they've been shit for ages but this is taking it to a new level of shitness. they opened the brit awards (the british arias) and bono took his glasses off *shock* and had eyeliner like a fuckin emo, so gay


and all i could think of through the song was "yeah yeah yeah yeah"


edit - back to the quiz

In my eyes Bono will always look as he did on South Park. A giant piece of shit!

I guess I should ask a question to get us away from Bono.

The farewell tour of which band launched the Lollapalooza festival?

As Perry Farrell organised the festival I would have to say Janes Addiction.

i'll say sonic youth, but thats only cos i WANT them to be done and dusted... :lol:

This is correct, I read it in an article just the other day about NIN disbanding, it was posted on AM I think.

Tony wins the cookie.

*munch munch*

Right

Which lead singer of a legendary Heavy Metal band is also a licensed commercial airline pilot?

Bruce Dickinson

The Bruce Dickinson?

As in the man who made sure "Don't fear the Reaper" had more cowbell?

"I put my pants on just like the rest of you -- one leg at a time. Except, once my pants are on, I make gold records"

 :lol:

Correctamundo

what is the name of Iron Maidens first album?

Iron Maiden

"By the time I'm finished we'll all be wearing gold plated diapers."
"That doesn't even make any sense"
"DON'T QUESTION BRUCE DICKINSON!"

Killers?
Thought they had a demo or short play out before that though.

yes

Who did Courtney Love and Kurt Cobain jokingly want as the Godfather of their daughter?

Ozzy Osbourne?

Don Corlione?

Willie Nelson?

The Hoff?

No, No & No

Clue? I'm thinking it has to be someone or something highly controversial.

The Pope? :E

Lead singer of a band active at the same time as Nirvana.

chris cornell?

Nope, it was someone who Kurt Cobain dispised.

eddie vedder?

Nope.

I googled.

Billy Corgan

:shake:

Theres a whole lot to pick from. Kurt and Courts weren't really known for their excesive friendlyness towards others.

They did joke about asking Billy Corgan to be her godfather, but they did indeed ask Michael Stipe.

Oh then maybe that's the answer he's looking for, but google told me someone else!

They also asked Drew Barrymore, but am not sure if they joked about the god'father' thing. They were both very close to Michael Stipe, so surely they had asked him in all seriousness.

But they sure had their ups and downs with Billy Pumpkin.

They sure did joke around a lot for a couple of miserable bastards  :E

Miserable? But they were on the H train!  :E

Just be glad he's dead and nobody cares about her. My god things would suck if the world was still being subjected to their music.

Well Courtney Love used to date Billy Corgan but it ain't him.

Scott Weiland from Stone Temple Pilots? :dunno:

axl rose?


i remember reading about this but can't quite remember

Well Done.

:lol: no i'm a dog!

:bump:

Sorry man. I forgot to check back cos I was sure I was wrong, I thought it came out 2003.


Anyhow, here's the next question!


What classic jazz tune does D.Kay's Serenade sample?

i dunno, it's on the clarinet right, soooooo..... something by Kenny G?  :E

I know your taking the piss but it seems like time for a clue anyhow.

He's a much more iconic jazz musician than Kenny 'Perm-a-lot' G.

Some would say he is the epitome of jazz.

There's the name clue.

Now for the title. 2 words, first word is the name of a celestial body which can be seen with the naked eye in the night sky.

Miles Davis - Moon .... ?

:yup:

The rest is something to do with sleeping.

The only one more iconic than mr G is Bleeding gums Murphy!

It was Miles Davis - Moon Dreams. Nice tune.

Anyone can ask...

In the light of the up and coming groove show
EPMD had a theme with their albums especially in the title. What was that theme?

 Business!

Oh yeah!

 Who was the the founder of Motown Records?

Berry Gordy I reckon.

 Thats it!

OK.

(5 is the current record - it has been done by 6 separate artists over the years!)

Whitney Houston?

carole king?

Aretha Franklin?

Mariah?

oh yeah I think this question has been asked before and it was Mariah!

Madonna?

Nope, none of those...she was a member of one of the biggest selling hip hop groups ever (easy one now, surely!).

Lauren Hill

Certainly was. I rate that album highly too, good vibes.

yeah I like it a lot.

Oh Yeah by Yellow.

:yup:

What is the name of the frontman of the 1970s glam rock band Slade?

It was Noddy Holder.

OK, another question...

An easy one...

Who was Billy Shears?

He was the lead singer of Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club band I think. Fictional member created by The Beatles, I don't know if he represented anyone.

I just remember the line 'Let me introduce to you, the one and only Billy Shears and Sergeant Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band.'

Yup. your go

billy shears was ringo. :)

Isn't Ringo actually Richard Starkey?

Who composed the theme song to The Pink Panther movies?

(I'm a big soundtrack nut, he's probably my favourite soundtrack composer after Harold Faltermeyer!)

Henry Mancini - I have his Best Of on 12"



As we all know, Chicken Lover was released on the Chicken Lover EP, but where else was it also officially released?


this is a serious question

:lol:

South Park movie soundtrack?

Inbound

in CD form....

Ah I remember now! It was on mp3.com right? That old site where heaps of unsigned bands/musicians released tunes. I found some cool underground hiphop off there back in the day.

:lol:

YES!

(released in 2004)

LOL i still think its classic Khem didn't know and he's on the album!

NIN frontman Trent Reznor has produced two (brilliant) soundtracks to two (awesome) movies - what were they?

Natural born killers and lost highway.

:nod:

too easy!

Reznor was in another band called Tapeworm with Maynard but only one track has been released. What was the track and what album was it released on?

Album was Emotive, song was?

ask another question please. :)

Track was Passive.
Forgot all about this thread.

which group was also known as the Timelords and the JAMs(justified ancients of Mu Mu)?

That'd be the KLF.

The Justified ancients of mu mu is big give away.  has anyone heard them refered to as the timelords though?

yeah they did a song called doctor in the tardis

yeah!

Ah cool.

The KLF were infamous for a controversial performance at one of the British music awards shows. What did they do?

lol
At the BRIT awards they performed a hardcore song and screamed abuse. More like a slayer show(more punk though) than what they were expecting from klf.  Shock Value!
Read somewhere that they threw sheeps blood on peeps at a show too but not sure.
Is that the performance you were talkin about.(may have even been their last)

It's the second bit kind of but you're close enough.

At the BRITs they fired machine gun blanks over the audience (scaring the shit out of most people I'm sure) and then dumped a sheep carcass at the aftershow party.

a ha ha ha ha. Ah now thats the sign of a good night. Imagine waking up after that after party and thinking now what did I do last night and finding a sheep carcas in your lounge room!

SBI (surrounded by idiots) featured heavyweight producer Timberland and which other big name producer?

Clue(gimme): The neptunes.....

Pharrell Williams?

New question.

Give me 10 famous musicians who have died in plane crashes.

big bopper
buddy holly
ritchie valence
aaliyah
otis reading
shirley straughan
patsie cline
cliff burton  :lol:


nup. i'm done.

Nice list. Some clues for the rest.

Song title: 'Leaving On A Jet Plane'. Oh, the irony.

One of the greatest blues-rock guitarists ever. (Technically it was a helicopter, I just googled...)

Members of a band that unfortunately didn't quite fly as free as a bird.


PS. I had a great clue for Lisa 'Left Eye' Lopes : A female rapper who gave some tender, love and care. :E Unfortunately further investigation reminded me she died in a car accident...I checked one of yours too, the Metallica bassist, he died in a tour bus accident...

john denver is another one

Easy. Stevie Ray Vaughn - he is the bestest; along side Hendrix of course.

Several member of the Lynyrd Skinner band.

Don't forget Glenn Miller.

i know, i was watching a doco on it yesterday, hence the :lol: - threw it in cos i was struggling

wasn't shirley a copter??

yeah pretty sure he was. :)

Chopper crash is a pretty gnarly way to go. They have a crush box under your seat which has to take the impact of the crash and if it works then you have to keep clear of an angry propellar! fuck that!

sooo then, is the question still going?

would have thought most have been covered.

Yeah that's all of them. Fluke got the most I guess.

PS. Tbird it's Lynyrd Skynyrd.

Who is Dominick Martin better known as?

haha even i know...

Calibre

good stuff, i made it easy for a reason

Yeah Redneck rock was never my strong point.

question is up for grabs guys. go nuts. :thumbsup:

SOM to fluke

Davie has been part of shit loads
fooeys
nirvana
prodigy
tenacious D

The Bangles
Killing Joke
QOTSA


fair line up

quaz can have it seeing as melvin had the last question and left this thread for a month.

if you're going to play this game, you have to follow up on your answer's/questions a bit better.

lol *cracks whip* ;)

Muse have a new album coming out in September. What's it called?

ooh, The Resistance!

can't freaking wait!

ditto!

dead keen for that!!!


seriously. melvin asked a question. kurko answered his question. 1 month goes by. i check the thread, and realise nothing is happening. then ask a question. melvin answers it first. :lol:

i don't get it myself hey...

back to Muse, when are they due back in Oz?!?!

Hate to be picky(not really) but your version of events seems a little skewed. I asked, Kurko answered and asked another question(which label), then a month later when no one had answered you asked another question. Fail to see how I'm at fault there! Because I knew the answer but hadn't entered it?

fair enough. but you are at fault still.

a month went by either way. questions really shouldn't go on for more than a few days at most. i know it can be easy to forget about them, i do it sometimes as well. if clearly no one seems to know the answer though after a few days, then another should be asked anyway just to keep the game going. :)


sera, i had no idea they were even considering it. i'll guess and say january/february in hope they play the bdo again.

Think I heard September in J mag

you're correct Chris!  January it supposedly is! I'm starting rumours for the BDO!!

hahaha. that is seriously awesome!

what was the latest qotsa album titled?

Era Vulgaris? Or have they released something recently?

bingo. :)

What was the album before that (QOTSA) and on what song from songs for the deaf did the title come from?

lullabies to paralyze and a song for the deaf. :)

what song was this line used from songs for the deaf?

haha shit. i completely read that question wrong. :lol:

mosquito song?

Mozzie song it was! Fire away Sherriff

haha. speaking of which.

who originally shot the sherriff?

I did but i didn't shoot the deputy!

:lol:

Bob Dylan or Bob Marley?

One of those Bobs anyway! :lol:

Bob Marley sang it but don't think it was his origionally

Yeah, I think it was BD? Hmm... But I met someone who BM talked to about this song; something about the song related to heroin when mary was all out.

Dunno.

Hey what makes you think you can take it eh? I posted Bob Marley below dagnammit. PS. Your question belongs in the Hip Hop Quiz thread! :E

fair enough. Wasn't trying to steal your glory, You made two very valid guesses there and you should be rewarded with question control!
Was just tryin to keep the ball rolling.

Ask away

Hehe. I was waiting for Chris to confirm but a look at the all-knowing wikipedia says it's Bob Marley's song.

Speaking of the other Bob; Bob Dylan, he played a role in and composed the soundtrack (including Knockin' On Heaven's Door for a great scene - the lyrics make so much sense when you see it too!) for a classic throwback Western movie in the 70s starring Kris Kristofferson and James Coburn and directed by the legendary Sam Peckinpah.

What was the film?

Was It Pat Garrettt and Billy the kid? Or was that Clapton version? been a while.

Sure was mate!

Triple J's hottest 100 of all time was on the weekend. What were the top 3 songs?

3. Jeff Buckley - Hallelujah
2. RATM - Killing In The Name
1. Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit


Edit: I know I'm right so I better give a new question cos I'll be offline until tomorrow in the next 30 mins or so...

Often played live (by cover bands or otherwise) as the intro to the well known Pink Floyd song 'Another Brick In The Wall Part 2' is which track off of the album The Wall?

I prefer Brick in the wall pt 1 personally

Fair enough but do you know what the answer is?

It's the track in between Part 1 and Part 2. Most of the cover bands here who I've seen play it (it's a staple of generic Thai cover bands) sometimes do Pt. 1-???-Pt. 2 but everytime without fail they all at least play ???-Pt. 2...

lol
Na have no idea. I'm kinda proud to say that I haven't seen too many cover bands.  I love covers but cover bands just aren't really my thing

Well the question isn't about cover bands really...it's more about your knowledge of the album The Wall. It was just a fancy way of asking what is the track between ABITW Parts 1 & 2 which serves as an intro to the well known Part 2 get me?

Mother? happiest days?

The Happiest Days Of Our Lives it is.

Who was organized Konfusion?

Pharaoh Monch and Prince Poetic

Didn't know that po was for poetic.

im 99% sure it's actually prince poetry

Make that 100% for me :lol:

i was being nice kyle!

Not my style :biggrin:

Learn something new everyday. Always has just been prince Po in my world but glad that it comes from somewhere

:bump:


Quaz?

ah my bad


Whats the Mars Volta's new album called

octahedron...

i like TMV, never paid much attention but never heard a single thing from them i dont like... plus, cant fuck with a band with names like cedric and omar!

Who released an album called Lateralus, and what was special about the cover design of the cd?

Tool and from memory it had a see through slipcase which showed the outer body of a person and the inner cover had the organs, muscles, veins, etc.

nice one

What singer's real name is Reginald Kenneth Dwight?

Kenny Rogers?

I know this but don't want to answer because then I need to think of a question.

Ah, fuck it. Elton John.

Hahaha. You're up!

Which song by The Beatles is in the Guiness Book of Records for having the most recorded cover versions?

I reckon it's Yesterday...

I reckon you're right.

i know he is. :)

Cool.

What's the name of the ragtime tune popularly known as the theme for the Harlem Globetrotters?

*whistles* :biggrin:

anybody?

barber shop symphony #7?

Sorry guys, been busy at work lately and only just had an inkling at the back of my brain then that I had some questions sitting around...

It's the classic Sweet Georgia Brown (in whistle format of course)...everyone would know the tune I'm sure!


New question:


What is the theme song to the TV show Charmed? It's one I've heard many people speak highly of on here before...

how soon is now - the smiths.

:thumbsup:

name two cover songs that sarah blasko has recorded.

Goodbye Yellow Brick Road, Flame trees & Don't Dream it's Over.

That's 3 I can think of but I dare say there are more.

absolutely correct. all very well done too!

i have a slight crush on her. :inlove:

I have a girl-crush on her voice; absolutely seductive on 'All I want'. 

josh. don't tell me you're not awake. in fact, you've probably been awake since you answered the question, so let's have one.

I haven't actually slept since I answered the question which explains why I am struggling to think of one.

Which band turned down an offer of 40 million pounds to reform for a 50 date tour in 2007?

The Smiths?

The Cure?

The spice girls? 

Wouldn't the Cure need to have split up in order to reform?

But yes, your first answer was the correct one. And I would be the happiest man alive if they did actually get back together.

Yeah, I threw the Cure in 'cos I remember them touring 'for the last time' a few years back. Dunno.

Ok...

Who recently lost their entire estate to fraud?

I'm thinking it is Kurt Cobain but I think it's safe to say he didn't actually notice.

 

And who would own the entire estate...? Give me two full names smarty pants.

The slapper with the horrible lips and the skin bag that fell out her vagina!

 

No cigar for you.

 

I didn't realise that was the new street slang for "Shot it all up her arm"

Ok, Which infamous ruler does Kasabian reference on their new album?

i only heard kasabian stuff for the first time last night, was blown away...

and it was ivan the something or other... i cant remember.... damn, so close

Well the only Ivan of note was Ivan Lendl, but he was only infamous for losing to Pat Cash.











Ivan the Terrible

what about Ivan Goolagong   

kasabian are awesome. such a good sound. apparantly one of the best live acts around as well. crossing my fingers they tour here soon.

vlad the impaler i'm 99% sure is the answer.

ahhh thats it... ivan/vlad... close IMO

Yeah, it was indeed. Either yourself, b, Chris or DaTBird187 can have a shot.

Kasabian are rocking my world atm. They have something to say on a deeper level, and the icing on the cake is going by their lyrics + album cover; their anti-religion, imperialism and colonialism sentiment has won me over.

You could say that they Never Miss a Beat.

 

Hopefully yourself, Chris and I can find comfort on our new-found common ground in subjective music palates we share ha! 

yes, if they were the kaiser chiefs!   

 

HAHAHAHA! Oh fuck! I fail! 

hahaha. i was just about to post that sera

this should be easy i reckon. possibly been asked on here before too. '


the beatles had a hit with the song "while my guitar gently weeps". who is the guitarist who performed the song on the album?

Clapton?

bingo bango bongo

Guns and Roses performed a cover of this on a tour in 2006. The tour was for the release of what album?

Chinese Democracy? Heard it took the gunners 10 year to  make it, but haven't heard of any reviews etc upon release...

chinese democracy came out late last year/early this year

yeah CD it was. havent heard it, but spoke to a few people who have...

It saddens me to think they are still calling themselves GnR when Axl is all that's left.

Yes it was, but they performed songs from it in 2006

bit premature, touring for the launch of the album 2-3 years before it actually came out...

I think it was due for release as early as 2005 but it has taken this long to come out

Ask another question please.

Ask away cinnamon.  You got it right, It was chinese democracy.

Oh, cool bananas!

Hmm...

Ok; name two songs which refer to Marlon Brando in the lyrics (not in a song title).

Hoods
30 odd foot of grunt?  (Totally guessing there but can anyone say they know for certain russ never dropped a Brando line)

No.

Here's a clue, both songs were performed by solo artists around the 70'-80's.

The Herd or Hilltops has one tune...

I don't know them well enough to know all their subtle pop icon references.

Melvin - you've got one down and one to go... 

Elton John did one didn't he?

Yeah G Elton sang goodbye/farwell (cant remember which one)Marlon Brando

Goodbye Marlon Brando definitely.

slipknot is another

That brings your tally to two... You're up. 

Didn't realise there were so many MB references in music?! The ones I had in mind were 'China Girl' by David Bowie and 'Pocohantas' by Neil Young.

okay I'm stumped for thought at the mo so if anyone can tell me why Elton sang goodbye MB its all yours

Gay pioneer reference...?

Dunno.

better yet, what album was it on? 

Fuck knows.

reg strikes back

who were the members of bad company?

Free, Mott the Hoople and King Crimson

Haha yeah which Bad Company? Khem's right anyway due to no clarification...

wasn't free another band?  And only two members from free were in BC I think.

free was another band with Paul Rogers, who was the lead singer for both them and bad company. simon kirke was the drummer who was also in both and i think there was a guy called mick as well, but have no idea on his last name.

good band.

alrighty then, who are all the members of the other (dnb) bad company?

There's another bad company?   


I think Vegas and Maldini go under Bad Company UK now. 

there are also two other members

lol yeah the other two aren't worth mentioning. Never really amounted to anything on their own

d-bridge and fresh. easy as.

the kinks song, lola, was one of the first to have to change a song lyric in music history. what was the lyric and why was it changed?

It was the cola line wasn't it?

it used to say coca cola, but they wanted it to change because it either degraded the brand or couldn't use advertising in songs or something.


EDIT: I know this because saimilar thing happened to PWEI 

I think its rather arse about that a company is allowed to pay someone to say nice things about their product(true or not) but if someone uses their name in something with out their say so, legal proceedings follow. 

julian has it. was coca cola, and was copyright issues as to why it was changed.

Actually it was all about the BBC & advertising issues (not allowed to mention products on the BBC in the 60s)

It was a song about a drag queen, but surprisingly that wasn't what offended the BBC. The broadcaster maintains a strict ban on advertising through music and objected to the song's mention of Coca-Cola. The lyrics were later changed to "cherry cola" to avert the ban.
http://www.nzherald.co.nz/radio-industry/news/article.cfm?c_id=295&objectid=10483279&ref=rss

OK, to the question:

I mentioned PWEI. They got in trouble over the use of the Designers Republic PEPSI Logo...



but under what circumstances did Pepsi become aware of the logo?

(and because only 3 people would probably know this without googling, I'll make it multiple choice)

a) A Pepsi executive saw the cover of the record on a shelf at HMV
b) A religious student union complained to Pepsi after the band played at a school gig
c) The Designers Republic weren't given any money for the logo, so dobbed them in
d) Someone's son bought a T-shirt at a gig and his mother complained to Pepsi

dont they have cherry coke now? maybe a counter claim?

I'll lock in C thanks Eddie.

Edit: D also sounds like a bizarre yet oddly plausible theory.

C is wrong.

D is wrong.

b is correct.

And so is Chris! 

dave grohl and josh homme have teamed up with another artist to form a new supergroup that is touring australia early next year. who is the other artist and which band did he come from?

well the answer was john paul jones from led zeppelin.

very keen to see them in melbourne i reckon. :thumbsup:

That sounds intriguing...

damn i actually knew that one...

once i sort my funds out mate i'll let you know if i can get there. :)

they're rumoured for bdo apparently

yeah heard that, but also heard that they're specifically not doing the BDO because dave grohl hates it so much.

anyone have a question for this here quiz?

I got one.. seeing as the world is going nuts over Muse at the moment..

What were Muse called before actually being called Muse? Bonus points for naming the year they changed names.

Who cares!  (sorry Quaz but I'm sooo over theses guys)

Just watched a few clips of them crooked vultures in action. Very nice.. although I'm a fan of pretty much anything Homme does. I reckon I might try get over to melb to see em with a few mates.

nice one. i'm dead keen i reckon and trying to get a couple of others to come as well. will be an awesome show and the only chance i'll ever get to seeing anyone from led zeppelin. shame it will be there least influential member, but i'll take it. :thumbsup:

new album sucks

while agree, I kinda feel like this is where they have been heading for quite some time.  Didn't all Muse fans pretty well expect this album?

Pretty much. When I first listened I turned up my nose a bit, but now it has grown on me immensely.

a few friends who liked muse are now their biggest fans.  Raving about how good they are.  And yet I find no appeal in their new album(admittedly only heard it once but no hurry to hear it again).

Thats the same case for any other big name band when a new album is released. Everyone gets caught up in the hype.

IMO this new album is much stronger than their last effort. However can't really compare it to the albums before that as its completely different.

Yes

Does that stop it from sucking? No

I'm hoping they do a Radiohead- Do a wanky artsy bullshit album or 2, and then remember they are a rock band

When did Radiohead remember they were a rockband???

lol. Love their later, experimental albums equally to the previous. I heart one of the latest; 'Harry Patch, in memory of'; the lyrics and the haunting bridge with the 'darker' low key strings.

Woah now, Kid A and Amnesiac are great; the new Muse album really does suck.

Such a loss as well. Absolution is one of my favourite albums.

Exactly.

Radiohead may have gone a tad "wanky artsy" by my god they did it well.

Come on though, this is hilarious!

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3oTt8Noi5Rk

That is gold.

ha ha ha ha ha ha

has a question been asked at all?

I think its when was Radioheads return to grace?

:bump:

dunno the year but they were rocket baby dolls

got it, year was 1994

name the 3 dudes in Muse

matt bellamy, domanic howard and..........................

Ari Gold plays bass guitar.

who?
isnt it like someone wolfenstein?

chris wolstenstein or something.

does sound like a nazi killing werewolf for sure.

lol, I dont think it is wolfenstein though its like wolfenberg or something

Christopher Wolstenholme

you're up melvin :)

where did Kasabian take there name from?

good question. no idea though.

Fuck, I read about this in Rip it Up; was it something to do with a king or monarch?

nope completely wrong direction think more Manson family!

Well he considered himself to be 'Jesus'... Something to do with his plans to form an underground society in the Death Valley? Or Manson's reference to the Beatles' White album?

Helter Skelter was the time when Manson believed the war between the blacks and the whites was going to result in Armageddon right. This is on the tip of my tongue but I can't remember what Kasabian was, possibly the name of the city where he and his family were going to survive out the war?

its a name. of a person.

I just had a brainflash about this today. Wasn't it the name of the elderly couple who got killed by the Manson family?

Tony says she was a member of the Manson family who testified against them in the trial for the murder of Sharon Tate.  :)

Darn you! I just remembered this morning and was coming in to post that! It was the chick who testified against them yeah, she was the main character in that movie with Jeremy Davies. They pretty much took her kid away from her when she got there which didn't sit too well with her after a time.

Tony's on the money!

Who's house did Charles Manson take over in the late 60's and even record music with?

him and a beach boy made tracks!

Yes, which one?

Wilson...can't remember first name.

LOL at looking and realising they are mostly Wilson's, I know nothing of the Beach Boys.

 :lol:

have to be brian wilson wouldn't it?
or was it john stamos?   :E

Isn't Ari Gold the guy in Entourage????  :notify:

yep the agent dude

I watched the Manson movie (Helter Skelter) a few months ago, it was Dennis, the one who ended up drowning in the 80s.

Next question...

What is the feature common to all of Roxy Music's album covers?

They all contain a disc which holds music by the band Roxy Music
