The ongoing music trivia game
by How well do you know music? Here's the way the game works: I will make a music trivia question (or, to get started, several questions) and then you will answer it. Then you make your own question. We will continue to go on and on and on, answering each other's questions. When you make a question, rate it from a 1-point question (easier) to 3-point question (harder). As we go through and people answer questions correctly, we'll rack up some pointage. I know it's very easy to look things up on the internet and there's no way to tell if you are "cheating", but see if you can get it without research.
Also, when you answer correctly, it would be good to make more than one question, so more people have an oppurtunity to answer more questions.

what big fat gay on this website who's name ryhmes with "Dike Piano" is big fat and gay?
lol you putz... matt doesnt rhyme with Dike.... pshhhh
who invented the first guitar...
i think it was a guy named bobby b. grimes who, ironically, as soon as he invented it, ran out of the house naked and took a dump in the street to celebrate
new rules...you only get points for answering the question if you ask a question after you post your answer! keep it going!
I just like to ask the questions.
(2) In a Beatle's song, John clarifies who the Walrus is. Who is it?
contrary to what ferris buehler will tell you, paul was the walrus. i think.
what the heck were they talking about anyway
Yep..that's right! I don't know what they were talking about tho.. My sister was blasting the White Album the other day and "Glass Onion" came on and at one point John sings "The walrus was Paul" and that just baffles me and I asked my mom why.
i am he as you are he and we are all together..
guys stop it. didnt you see the white album cover. paul has no shoes on. he's clearly dead.
Haha this made me laugh for two reasons. White album cover is white babe.
Really, though..can you imagine the beatles just sitting around smoking up and laughing hysterically over the idea of making everyone think Paul is dead?
I can see that, actually. It's The Beatles
new questions...i dont know if any of you saw them deeply embedded in the thread there...

What band is composed of former members of Suicidal Tendencies?

Ding Ding! I love them. I can recite "Closed Session" and we walked into our wedding reception to the cool guitar riff in "I'm gonna be my king".

Well... Don and I just registered a new web site domain and I think we're going to try to set up an FTP there. I'll give everyone the address when it's up. It should be by next week. Or I could give you a copy the next time I see you (but who knows when that will be.... :( )

i can't think on the top of my head....but the one "whipped cream....put it al over yo boddayyyyy" then it goes into the song.....my fav!!!!
It was awesome! We think of the 175 people we had, only about 5 people knew the song. But that was the fun of it!

and we will wait to hear if matt's questions were answered correctly by myself and web-toed.
And Matt, the answer for the band question was that everyone was calling them "The Band That Opens For Bob Dylan," and they just shortened it.
Next set of questions:
(1) What is the name of Yellowcard's first full length album?
(2) The Ataris released earlier albums Anywhere But Here, Blue Skies Broken Hearts Next 12 Exits, and End Is Forever on Kung Fu Records. What label did they release a short 6-song disc on?
(3) What rap group did the Beastie Boys diss in the song "Professor Booty" in response to that group writing an entire song dissing the Beasties?
Yellowcard's first: "One for the Kids"
Beasties were rapping at MC Serch for dissing them
Ataris I believe were briefly with Fat Wreck Chords (I remember San Dimas High School Football Rules was on a Fat Wreck comp)
Matt sweeps all three questions...
how much was the bonus one worth...i want points ;)
next few:
(1) What rapper appears on Bad Religion's "Let Them Eat War"?
(2) What artist is Norah Jones' father, and what instrument is he famous for?
(2) What was Matchbook Romance's original name?
was the ataris one live? they did one on sony (i think?) but it was only like a year or two ago.
Record company by Brett Gurewitz is Epitaph.
(1): What is the name of the Oasis album that contained smash hit "Wonderwall"?
What's the Story Morning Glory...oo Frest is gonna be mad!!
(1) Who was Elton John's "Candle In The Wind" originally written for?
candle in the wind: written for or inspired by marilyn monroe
ugg, i SOOO knew that... from a vh1 special like when i was 15 or something... ugg... i KNEW the new one was for princess di...
you weren't even born when the song first came out!
..I thought it was Norma Jean. Unless that's not a real person...hmm
pssst.....thats marilyn monroe's real name (birth name)
haha yea toddy just told me to come and answer it
-forreste (i'm signing my posts from now on cos the computer thinks i'm todd sometimes)
yeah, I don't get it. It's not like we look alike.
Ok my trivia:
(2 points) Who wrote the song "Me and Bobby McGee"?
(2 points) The band "Phil Lesh and Friends" consists of members of what former musical group?
(2 points) The band "Long Beach Dub All Stars" consists of members of what former musical group?
(5 points) In 2000 a show was sheduled at Giants Stadium featuring Rage Against the Machine and the Beastie Boys. Why was the show postponed and later cancelled? (2 different reasons)
Bonus Question: about 5 years ago I went to go see Face to Face play at Irving Plaza. The lead singer for the opening band got on stage and sang with F2F for 1 or 2 songs. What was the name of this singer, what band did he play for, and what did he eat for dessert exactly one week before the show?
"Me and Bobby McGee" - Kris Kristofferson. Who gets points not only for having a really cool name, but for writing a song that loved so much that my vinyl actually wore out.
Long Beach Dub All Stars - Sublime?
Rage and Beastie Boys show - that whole mess with the cop being shot
Matt's questions: LBDA is Sublime members...but that was already answered.
Rage/Beasties show postponed because Mike D was injured in a dirt bike accident. Later, Zach De La Rocha left Rage, and it was cancelled.
Bonus: (just a guess)-Alkaline Trio Matt Skiba? I believe they were on tour...either that or i'll try Saves the Day's Chris Conley.
1 point for web toed chloe
5 points for JP (he got the bonus question too, so he's extra special)
sorry, web toed chloe gets 4 points not just one, she got 2 right
Wahoo!
actually mike d broke his collarbone bmx biking, not dirtbiking. but i'll give you the points anyway because you got the bonus question ;)
I'm not looking up the answers or cheating, but i think at least a few of these are right:
Sublime had the sone april 26, 1992
Q-Tip guest rapped on get it together
The Band... I remember that they were the band for a few famous people, can't remember who and just became known as "the band". never really listened to them so dont really know the whole story
cuz she's the cheese and I'm the macaroni
the phone is ringing. oh mah god.
1 point for fivezero and 3 points for funky.
but you guys arent asking questions yourself. and thats (supposed) to be the beauty of the game.
and matt, youre close on the band question.
I think they were the band for the hawks and later bob dylan
i cheated
Illmatic? NAS. Good album.
