The only way to get most of these questions IS to cheat. With the combined knowledge of music on this site, to get ALMOST ALL of the questions right, you've got to have something going on. I have been a music buff all my life (over 50 years) and I am continuously baffled. Good game. I'm just not good enough to play.

me too capn. i read the "no google" in the starter and I haven't gotten any of them... but I enjoy the thread anyway.

Cat Stevens

We have a weiner! :D

mmmmmmm....... ok....

This may be a bit too british..... let me know what you think...

How many are in The Temperance Seven and what was their excuse...

hmmm... 7 and it must have been the booze?

6. One was an alcoholic, so they kicked him out.

Yeah then he moved in with me.

I think nobody knows the answer.

You may be right.

There were 9 of them, being one over the 8.....



I'll leve it to the next one in to ask the next question.

Dare I?

I dare not.

Oh, go ahead. Nobody's here but you, me and Spexxvet.

I say let Shawnee go.

In no way related to this thread, I was just picking a disc out to do a little housework to, and I grabbed David Bowie's The Man Who Sold The World album. Isn't "that song" on this one, I wondered? . . . Yes, here it is . . .

Bonus Tracks - 13. Moonage Daydream 3:52, 14. Hang Onto Yourself 2:51 These tracks were released as a single under the name Arnold Corns in 1971.

Fuck Arnold Corns. He should change his name. :lol2: :bolt:

to david Jones perchance........

Yes, as it said, under the name Arnold Corns. As in, the name of the band, which is what I asked in the question, was Arnold Corns.

Jesus, people, give it a rest already!

While you may be technically correct, whoever goes to all-caps first "loses."

There, italicized. Happy now?

The only thing worse than an all-capper is a late editor.

I remember when this thread used to be fun.

Jeez, I'm out of a thread for a few days, and now I can't buy a thrill.

Let's have a fucking question...or is there one on the table that I just can't find through all the bullshit? :mad:

No, there is no question. JayMcGee forfeited his turn.

Here's an easy question. What are the first names of the four Beatles?

john, paul, george, ringo.

That's right! Your turn.

Wrong. The "first name" the drummer had was Richard Starkey.

here's a new question:

name the two most annoying pricks currently participating in this thread.

Glatt said I was right.

Piss off, Flint. Seriously, piss off. You are TRYING to kill this thread.
Thank you for trying to save it, glatt.

What sets Mark Knopfler's picking style apart from most other peoples'?

His is on a guitar, while most people's is in their nose?

Just for the wit, Clodfobble gets it.

He's into Carter style guitar picking?

Aw hell, I don't have a question... okay, at least leave that one open for legitimate answers then...

Cellar-music trivia question: What female pop star did our own smoothmoniker tour with about two years ago? No archive searching.

I always thought Knopfler had a sort of flamenco style, but that's probably not the right terminology.

Well, pretty close, he plays without a pick, and flamenco style is more of really a sound than a method but flamenco is fingerpicked... close enough.

The girl who did "Bitch"...I can't remember her name. Doggone one-hit wonders.

I just love the way Knopfler really opens up the space between the notes in a chord. It's percussive.

Meredith...her name was Meredith...something.

Close enough, Els. :) It was Meredith Brooks.

What is Ibram's opinion of Andres Segovia?

(I know it's not my turn)

Todd Rundgren has a guitar named "Foamy". Why does he call it that?

:::struggling to concoct bizarre, synesthesia-based theory on this:::

Either that, or his guitar is partially constructed of styrofoam?!

It's named after his childhood dog, who was unfortunately bit by a rabid bat?

Cujo?
 

it's seafoam green?

cuz of all the beer that's been spilled on it?

bcouse he told the builder to make it "fo-ME"!

Barefoot Serpent got it. A Seafoam Green Fender Stratocaster.

hmmm... OK, keeping up with the Todd Rundgren theme --

Why is Todd Rundgren on Stephen Colbert's 'On Notice' list?

Colbert has reasons for putting people on the list? News to me...

That's a really good question...I've been very curious about that, actually.

hint: it has nothing to do with bowtie pasta (it's on the list, too)

The only thing I can think of is that Colbert is pissed about Rundren having revived The Cars. Maybe he's unhappy that Todd isn't Ric Ocasik?

Els got it!

I saw The New Cars on Leno when they were preparing to tour. Original keyboardist and drummer, Todd as the frontman, and they did a damn good job of it. Rundgren is no slouch in virtually any area of music peformance, conception or production. I'd see 'em.

New question: Name the keyboardists who played with Rundgren in his Utopia days.

Herbie Hancock, Jan Hammer, and Chick Corea ???

Great players all, but wildly wrong.

I can dream.

*And* hallucinate!
