Music Trivia

[Toronto]

Well I thought it would be a good idea to start this.
First you Post a Question, then the Next Person Post the answer, and a new question....
if you can't get the answer or you think it is to hard, simply post "too hard"
lets say 3 "to harh" posts in a row and the person who posts the question gives the answer, and posts a new question.

so lets start it off easy...

Q: Who was the original drummer for The Beatles
now guys no googling :P

[komotar]

I'm not going to cheat by using google, but it's really tempting......

I know the guy's name. I really do.

I think it's Best, but I give up on the first name.

The word Travis is constantly on my mind because that's a basketball player....

[Toronto]

[komotar]

Oh, ok, I didn't wan't to ask a question because I only got half way.

[abbor]

A little hard for us people walking around not playing guitars.. :?

[|Nuno|]

Well, I just tried it on Guitar Pro and I'm pretty sure I've heard that riff before, but I'm missing a name...


Maybe you could give us a small clue? :D

[ZfrkS62]

you're going to have to supply the timing for that riff.

EDIT I think it might be a Megadeth riff...

[corpse_grinder0]

tune down 1/2 step. timing is about 185 bpm


clue: typed the band name into dictionary.com... first result- 1. To kill violently.


this is a very famous riff.. just keep playing it over and over again, and you will get it.

[ZfrkS62]

Not a Slayer fan, but that's who it is :wink: searching for the song now

[corpse_grinder0]

Green Day has 2 things in common with the band Operation Ivy. Name them.

[corpse_grinder0]

ughhhhhhhhh there genre of music, and there names both resemble nuclear halocost

[ZfrkS62]

ughhhhhhhhh there genre of music, and there names both resemble nuclear halocost

hmmm....i guess i can take the first part but it's not what i was thinking...and Green Day is actually a refrence to something "else" :wink:

[pharzo]

how about their genre and record label

and green day is most definitely a reference to something quite "different"

against forum rules to discuss it though :P

another one for die hard alcoholica fans

on the bus crash that killed cliff, what was the reason the bus driver cited for the accident? and for extra credit, what sick twist of fate probably killed him? (cliff that is)

[corpse_grinder0]

bus driver was drunk? and cliff pulled the ace.

[|Nuno|]

another one for die hard alcoholica fans

1::Black ice.

2:: When the bus rolled, he fell out of the window and was crushed by the bus, and then he was crushed by it again when the winch cable that was lifting the bus off him snapped, dropping the bus on him a second time...




Question:

Before leaving Tool in 1995, Paul D'Amour still wrote the basslines for 4 songs in AEnima. Which were the songs?

[ZfrkS62]

Well, i guess i have to give it to Pharzo. I was actually thinking that it was the label (Lookout Records) and that Green Day covered Op. Ivy's Knowledge on their first album.

The reason the driver gave was black ice. And Cliff drew the Ace of Spades to get the bunk.

James even walked back from where they came in his underwear ooking for the ice.

In the video for Memory Remains, what was the trick to pulling off the swinging platform?

[corpse_grinder0]

move the whole set around it? cool effect btw.

[ZfrkS62]

Nuno, i'll have to look into yours tonight. I forgot to last night :oops:

[ZfrkS62]

Nuno, i gotta say, you've got me on that one. I can't find anything on what he did for AEnema :?

[|Nuno|]

Nuno, i gotta say, you've got me on that one. I can't find anything on what he did for AEnema :?


Hehe... :mrgreen: It's hard to find because he wasn't listed in the liner notes. :wink:


Anyway, the songs were:


- Pushit, Stinkfist, Eulogy and Ænema.


I can't think of anything right now so whoever wants can make a new question. :)

[ZfrkS62]

dammit, i had a feeling stinkfist was one of them :?

what was the name of Bono's alter-ego?

[ZfrkS62]

Dolly Parton committed a sin punishible by death (or at least in my eyes) when she not only covered, but changed the lyrics to which legendary song?

[ZfrkS62]

I wish i could say that you were wrong, but you arent :(

[bmagni]

/\/\ The best rock n roll song of all time

Ok ive got two questions

an easy one
Whos Robert Allen Zimmerman ??

and:
Which vocalist got mazed in the face while making out with a chick in his trailer cause a cop thought he was a kid ??

[ZfrkS62]

answer 1: Bob Dylan

Answer 2: :lol: i've never heard this one before

[bmagni]

1: right of course

2: tip: he later was arrested that night for calling the cop a blue pig.

[ZfrkS62]

lol, that still could have been anyone.

[bmagni]

lol, that still could have been anyone.

lol, it was in new heaven

[ZfrkS62]

not familiar with that particaular artist :|

[bmagni]

one las tip, it was in new heaven, got mazed before a concert, got arrested during the concert... this was in 1967, the felony was supposedly breach of peace and exposure...

[ZfrkS62]

jim morrison??

arrested for breach of peace??

Yeah, for some reason that scene of the movie slammed into my head this morning after i woke up. i feel like a dumbass for not thinking of it sooner.

In the words of Carlos Mencia, that was a "dee-dee-dee" moment :lol:

[bmagni]

Jim Morrison, indeed

Who desgined the rolling stones logo ??

[Skaala]

^ john pasche is the true designer of it, though many believed it to be andy warhol.

the name rolling stones, where did it come from??

It's a name or nickname from a Muddy Waters song I think...


How old was Booker T. Jones when he wrote "Green Onions" which went on to be used on numerous movie soundtracks

[Skaala]

yeah it was named after a muddy waters song.

he was 18??

close....

[Skaala]

well 17 and going on 18 or 18 and going on 19 :P i think he was born in nov.

it's close enough. he was 16. (steve cropper said so) I saw them live in Bergen, 30th April, and it was fantastic. They really kick ass live after so many years.

[Skaala]

so he wrote it 2 years before it was released then.

I only remember steve cropper (guitarist of Booker T. & MG's) said on the concert that Booker T wrote it when he was 16. Must have been a work in progress for some time..

[pharzo]

OK since no one asked a question...


Steve Cropper was a member of which legendary "fake" band?

[Toronto]

that is too easy Blues Brothers

Q:
The Beatles famous song
Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds
is said to be a wrtten by lennon during an acid trip while looking @ a drawing his son made. but some people think that is a map to what mystery location?
(might be hard, and wikipedia prob wont give you the answer :P)

[pharzo]

atlantis?

either that or wonderland

[Toronto]

think famous beatles conspiracies,

[abbor]

A map to where the 'real' Paul McCartney is buried?

[Toronto]

^^^ correct!!

[abbor]

:D And I was only guessing... :D

I really have no idea what to ask...

hmm.. okay, here's maybe a challenge...

What band is the favourite band of the main person in the comic books 'Pondus'?

8)

[Skaala]

:D And I was only guessing... :D

I really have no idea what to ask...

hmm.. okay, here's maybe a challenge...

What band is the favourite band of the main person in the comic books 'Pondus'?

8)

KISS


followed by AC/DC and Deep Purple?

[abbor]

nope, Kiss isn't the favourite band of pondus..

[Skaala]

then it must be AC/DC......
http://home.online.no/~eskaala/XX2453/Pondus-AngusYoung_AC_DC-mindre.gif

Pondus as Angus Young

[abbor]

Coooooorrect..... Kiss is jokke's favourite band... :wink:

[bmagni]

Ok, another Door's trivia

What does the song title "Five to one" refers to ?

[Toronto]

many things but it is a ratio of blacks to white, or drug users to non drug users?
what one where you told?

[bmagni]

neither of those

[Toronto]

youth to old poeple?

[bmagni]

yeah, hehe, still thats what 5 to 1 actually stands for, not black to white, not drug users to non users, the real deal is people under 21 to over 21

[Toronto]

i knew it was along those longs, "the got the guns, we got the numbers" somthing like that, haven't listened to the doors album in a long time.

ok

here is a easy one
what famous mind and authors home to did jimmy page own until 1992,
page was heavily influenced by the writer, the author is the also the old man (hermit) on the zeppelin (IV) album.
another hint, ozzy has made a song based on him aswell

[ZfrkS62]

Alister Crowley?

[Toronto]

yep you got it, easy like i said

[ZfrkS62]

haha, i had no idea jimmy page owned his house really :D it was just a shot in the dark ( :wink: ) since Crowley was the only person i really recall Ozzy ever writing a song about.

How did Quiet Riot get their name?

[bmagni]

bump

from a novel

according to the Rock n' Roll museum, which is the #1 Rock song of all time ?

[ZfrkS62]

bump

No. They were actually makng fun of the lead singer not being able to pronounce Quite Right

No one else was going to get it. How long had this topic been dead? :prr:

[bmagni]

4.5 months... i hope someone answers mine

[Toronto]

i have no idea, i don't really care for lists... cause they are never right...
prob. some blues song.
crossroad - robert johnson
rolling stone - muddy walters

[bmagni]

nope

[stradale]

Stairway to Heaven - Led Zeppelin?

[bmagni]

yes

[Toronto]

really? but it isn't even their best song...

[stradale]

Different genre: the guitar riff used in My Friend by Groove Armada was also played in which song by a white rapper (not Eminem)?

[Mattk]

Are there any other white rappers?

[stradale]

I'll give you a hint but you still have to come up with the name of a song.

A few years ago, he nearly stopped jumping around permanently.

[Stikz]

Everlast?

[bmagni]

Vanilla Ice ?

[stradale]

Everlast?

Yup, and now we need a song title.

[Stikz]

black jesus or white trash beautiful. :?: That was a great album by the way.

[stradale]

No, it's on the album Whitey Ford Sings the Blues

[Stikz]

oh, is it "what its like?" If its not this one, then i give up because i don't think i've ever heard any groove armada. If i'm right, somebody else can ask a question, i can't think of anything. :D

[stradale]

No, that's not it. I think the song in question wasn't released as a single.

Looks like chances of anyone knowing both Everlast's song and Groove Armada's song are getting really slim. I'll give it a couple of days and if no one comes forward I'm afraid I have to spoil it.

[stradale]

Sorry for getting back to this topic so late. Unfortunately it looks like no one knew this one. The song is: Death Comes Callin'.

[ZfrkS62]
