Would anyone like to help me out?

[bmaninc]

I'm looking for a couple of people who know their music to help me out creating some trivia for a game I've created in the General section of the forums, Survivor. No one competing in the game can help, as I know there's a couple of you who frequent this section.

So, if you're interested in helping me out, it shouldn't take up too much of your time, and it'd be much appreciated.

I posted this here because I know this is where the music afficianados hang out on the Rock Band forums.

If you're interested, please, don't hesitate to PM me.

On topic with the History of Rock forum, I will add this:

I've never been to a concert before. There are several concerts happening this summer, and I'm able to drive pretty much anywhere in North America. I prefer alternative music, but I'd be down for pretty much anything.

Any opinions would be helpful.

Thanks!

We've been doing a big trivia contest here.

Oh, I scanned but I didn't see it. Mine is really a small one. Lasts only a couple of hours.

It would span any genre, and artist. Some popular, some obscure.

I could give you some classical music triva.

J.S Bach wrote over 500 songs in his lifetime.

Mozart last piece was his Requiem which is a funeral song. The song ended up killing him.

By the time Beethoven wrote his 5th Symphony he was almost completely deaf. By the time he wrote his 9th Symphony he was completely Deaf.

The First piece of classical music that sounds like modern rap music was Moonflek.

Stravinky's Rite of Spring actually caused a riot. Stravinky himself had to stand on the side of the stage with a smash the tempo with a giant pole because the dancers couldn't hear the music.

Rock Triava:
Rock Music was originated in the south and was considered stupid black music because of it back beat (strong beats 2 and 4 not 1 and 3)

Tommy by the Who was the First ever Rock Opera

During the 80's when midi was invented many hair metal bands did not have a guitarist or a drummer and played entirely with keyboards.

Smoke on the Water tells a story of a actually fire at a music festival.

Pythagoras the ancient Greek scientist discovered the tones that would be the basis of Rock and Roll.

I'll try, but I won't miss it if I decide to play:

Metal:

Black Metal band Behemoth's lead vocalist Nergal takes his influence from Johnny Cash

Metallica was formed after Lars Ulrich posted an ad on a utility pole

Dave Mustaine and James Hetfield are now close friends, contrary to belief.

Dave Mustaine wrote Metallica's "Ride the Lightning" before his departure, hence his grudge.

Classic Rock

Pete Townshend sent Keith Moon to the hospital 4 times during the "Tommy" tour.

Aerosmith is the only band to be inducted into the Rock n' Roll Hall of Fame with a top 20 hit at the time (Back in the Saddle)

The blue in The Who anthem "Behind Blue Eyes" refers to tears, rather than eye color
