A schol girl gunned down a bunch of kids in her school. When asked why, she replied "I don't like Mondays"

Who played lead guitar on "Hang on Sloopy"?

Just guessing... Robby Krieger?

Forget it. I just cheated and Googled the answer.

Rick Derringer?

Jimi Hendrix?

Correct!

Cool! Some of my brain cells are still working!

What was unusual about Jimi Hendrix' Fender Stratocasters?

He played lefty but used righty guitars and strung them upside down.

I knew that one wouldn't last long in this crowd.

UT, take it away!

Still on level Easy: how many musicians were in Ben Folds Five?

Ok, seriously gotta love the process of elimination. Now for a question...

I know this is easy but I really can't think of anything else:

(Won't be back on til tomorrow...feel free to answer and re-question at will!)

:)

Was it that great 1972 hit "Give Me All Your Money, Punk"?

What's the Frequency, Kenneth?

I think UT is right. She DID say we could move on, right?

He is and she did.

*Nsync member Lance Bass admitted this week via People magazine that he is homosexual. Assuming that all members of *Nsync are also homosexual, name one other Gay American who has been a member of *Nsync.

(that is the mathematical usage of "assuming". we don't know if they actually are gay but for the purposes of this problem, we say they are.)

Justin Timberlake?

correct

How embarrassing.


Anyhoo...What does OMD stand for?

Orchestral Manouevers in the Dark

That's right.

Still got their first album (vinyl, of course).

I notice we had a CSNY questsion before....

name the three bands they came from, and who came from which band. (you should already have a head start with Nash)

Crosby=Byrds
Stills=Buffalo Springfield
Nash=Hollies

?

need the fourth name and band, Brinna

D'oh!

Young=Buffalo Sprigfield

yeah, I knew it would be too easy! All yours.....

What was the original name of the band that eventually became U2?

What does MOD stand for?

U1?

Me Too?

No. Try harder! Hint--it's a musical phenom.

Can we cheat?
Feedback?

Yes! Feedback!

Your turn, glatt!

Wow, and I just guessed.

OK. Queen recorded many albums in their early years where they proudly stated in the liner notes that no synthesizers were used on those albums. Then one year, they decided to embrace synthesizers. Name the first album (or any song off the album if you don't know the album's name) where Queen used synthesizers.

Night at the Opera?

Nope that was when they had no synths.

Actually, I think I'm going to ask a different question. My memory was that it was a really obvious answer, but when I confirmed the answer I saw I was wrong. My apologies. Let me ask a simpler question.

What was Lefty Wilbury's real name?

Tom Petty?

Eric Clapton

Close, but he was Charlie T. Wilbury, Jr. (had to look him up, cause I didn't know his name.)

try again
