[RandomKoolzip]

[dawg]

2. In and around the lake, mountains come out of the sky - they stand there.

What lake does that refer to?

[RandomKoolzip]

Greg Lake of ELP.

He was getting chubby around the middle during this time, and Jon Anderson was commenting upon his girth, and the crumbs falling from his mouth.

[pdx_prog]

85. I met Jon Anderson

a long time ago and had a chance to really talk with the guy. I asked him about some of the old Yes lyrics. He said most of them meant absolutely nothing......they just looked for lines that sounded good.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

4. How did Genesis decide Phil Collins was to be singer...

...after Peter Gabriel left?

[RandomKoolzip]

8. In Phil's defense.....

I know he's the epitome of crap, but he really does have a great voice. He had sung "More Fool Me" on "Selling England by the Pound" already, and harmony with Gabriel (good blend), so when the time came to audition singers, they went through the ususal retinue of hopefuls for a couple weeks before settling on Phil. He wasn't first choice, in other words.

[Commie Pinko Dirtbag]

20. Ding!

When I read about it I was amused at how Phil would always interrupt auditioners with "No, no! Peter sang that song like THIS, look... la la laaaa..."

[Screaming Lord Byron]

11. I believe they held a week-long Buckaroo tournament.

5. OK, what was the fave

rock tune of super-Christian Republican Illinois Senate Candidate Jack Ryan that he hummed to himself when he tried to force his wife into public sex shows in New York and Paris?

(Sorry, can't resist another dig at that scum)

[RandomKoolzip]

9. "The Greatest Love of All," Whitney Houston.

[XNASA]

6. What do Mama Cass Elliot and Keith Moon have in common?

Besides the fact that they're both dead.

[RandomKoolzip]

13. They both were high adepts of the Process Church of the Final Judgement.

[XNASA]

18. You're close but...the real answer is that they both died.....

In the same room but at different times, of course. The flat was owned by Harry Nilsson BTW.

[RandomKoolzip]

24. And I bet they both died sweaty.

[patcox2]

34. Anne Dudley, Trevor Horn, Paul Morley

[Az]

37. You're not the god of Rock

[Screaming Lord Byron]

39. Sorry. I'll get back to seducing Claude Debussy, then.

[Kid_A]

53. Here's one:

Who produced R.E.M.'s 1986 album, and what label was it released on?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

56. Don Gehman, IRS.

[Kid_A]

[Screaming Lord Byron]

75. Dude, it's the same girl.

[Az]

76. Close but wrong

It is the same person.

[Screaming Lord Byron]

77. Are you obsessed with oriental cross-dressers?

:evilgrin:

[Az]

81. No, not particularly

He is a good singer though.

There is a very large cubculture in Japan currently called Gothic Lolitas. Very odd bunch. They cram cute and goth together. They hang out in parks and public places and kind of saunter around not paying any attention to others and trying to get noticed. Very odd bunch indeed.

A lot of Japanese bands are influenced by this craze (or started it) and their own gender identity is not exactly a key issue for performing artists. The idea is to portray some archetype. And they tend to really throw themself into it. The stage presentation and spectecle of it all is quite amazing. Of course we have our little socially learned issues with gender identity and most people from the west get hung up on that.

79. I am very VERY disappointed with responses to my questions

I even threw in a softball one.
What's the problem here?

I demand satisfaction!

:nopity:

[pdx_prog]

84. How many holes are there in the Albert Hall?

4 thousand....

What guitar Icon's album did Eddie Van Halen offer to pay for if he could play on it?

name guitarist and album...

[Screaming Lord Byron]

92. duh! How could I get that wrong. As for the other one, I don't know.

Clues please.

[pdx_prog]

93. It was Alan Holdsworth

I read an interview with him, when he did his I.O.U. album in the early eighties. He said he took out a mortage on his house to pay for it. Eddie had always said Alan was his favorite guitarist, and offered to foot the bill for it if he could play on it. Holdsworth told him no.

[Az]

89. Well, now we know how many holes it takes to fill the Albert Hall

[Dees]

87. Where is Larry Lee? Formerly of the

Ozark Mountain Daredevils? What is he doing?

[TrogL]

90. What model organ does Keith set on fire?

[Screaming Lord Byron]

91. Keith Emerson? A Hammond perhaps?

[pdx_prog]

94. Wasn't it a hollowed out B3?

[TrogL]

96. Nope. Keep trying

[TrogL]

97. Actually, the question's a bit misleading

Keith does indeed wrestle with a Hammond (but which one?) as part of his act. One time he got a little too enthusiastic and the thing burst into flames. I'll post a pic once somebody figures out what model.

[mitchum]

138. Wasn't it a knife-scarred M100?

[TrogL]

157. Hammond L100

Can't find the picture right now. I'll post it tomorrow if I've got it at the office.

[Westegg]

98. What does the Zeppelin bootleg title "Listen To This Eddie" refer to?

[Magrittes Pipe]

99. Okay, Byron, let's get with something new and trendy...

112. Whitey.

Everyone likes the Cows.

[jpgray]

113. A wiseguy, eh?

What does the song 'Have You Ever Bean Green?' refer to?

[Magrittes Pipe]

114. "Dada Was Here," indeed.

Not a big Soft Machine fan, I. I appreciate the surrealism, but they just don't rock me right, you know what I mean?

So I s'pose that means I don't know.

[jpgray]

116. OK, big hint

The lyrics include 'Thank you Noel and Mitch, thank you Jim'--with that trio of names and the Softs' touring history, you ought to be able to guess.

[Magrittes Pipe]

[GumboYaYa]

111. nope. n/t

[MissMillie]

109. What was the name of the album made by

two members of the Moody Blues in the early '70s?

[Magrittes Pipe]

133. Blue Jays

Now let us never speak of it again.

[MissMillie]

139. Why?

It was the best album the Moody Blues never made.


And I thought it was RKZ who was supposed to answer....

[Magrittes Pipe]

140. He's not here. As for the Moody Blues, all I can say to them is:

Go. Now.

:P

[tigereye]

153. shame

[FredScuttle]

119. Who was the first musical guest on Saturday Night Live?

[merh]

135. just joshing, you are good! (n/t)

[Magrittes Pipe]

137. Good? No.

Obsessed with rock & roll minutia? Yes.

[dolo amber]
