[AxlVanHagar]

Ok folks, schiz asked me to put up a round of questions for you today so here it is. I avoided sticking to a particular theme, ie; The 70's, Drummers , Punk etc and went for a random trivia across the board. Narrowing my list of questions down to 10 was tough! I had come up with around 50 Have fun, hopefully at least a couple of these will make a few of you scratch your head. And remember...no wiki...Carl Palmer is watching.

Schiz, I love Bonus questions so any Bonus answer they give , provided they got the main answer correctly, I'm giving an extra point.

[King_Nuthin]

7. Hometown legends, The J. Geils Band! Bonus: David Lynch

This would seem to be right except they made an album without Peter Wolf, I don't see how that isn't a lineup change... especially since he was the one that roomed with David Lynch!

6. What band featured, at one time or another, the following drummers: Aynsley Dunbar, Cozy Powell, Ian Paice, and Tommy Aldridge?

Deep Purple? I know Ian was in DP, the rest seem familiar, but I'm not too sure...

9. True or False - Led Zeppelin's Over The Hills And Far Away had previously been done by Peter, Paul and Mary in 1963 and was a tradtional Irish drinking song. The Led Zep version claims Page/Plant as author.

True? It's a 50/50 chance, so why not guess, haha.

10. Many bands debut album simply bear the name of the band as the title. The following is a list of bands who didn't do that. For a whopping 10 points name the band who made the album.

Well, I know some of these:

D) Blue Cheer
F) Yngwie Malmsteen
I) Megadeth
J) Circle Jerks
N) Pink Floyd

I knew the answer to question one at one point, but now it's escaping me. I can think of the album cover, does that count for anything? Haha.

Edit: Double bah, I got 6 wrong (I knew it...) and I was right about 1, but saying the answer now is cheating...

[King_Nuthin]

I'm not playing for points and the other ones I know have been answered several times by now, but since not one person has even bothered guessing at it I may as well say that J is the Circle Jerks.

eta: Oh well fine, in the time I spent thinking of something clever to say...

and I actually think that 9 is one of the things Jimmy didn't rip off.

[Hungryfreak]

Don't worry, at least you didn't miss some album titles that you should have known... (Glares at C and K)
