Supergroups and Artist Movement Trivia Questions

1. Which London based punk band did Billy Idol front prior to his successful solo career?

From Quiz
Hey... I Used To Be In That Band!

Answer: Generation X

As one of the brightest stars of early 80s punk and glam rock, Billy Idol rose to fame with his eponymous debut album in 1982 and his subsequent chart busting "Rebel Yell" album.

2. Formed in 2009, supergroup The Dead Weather comprised The Kills vocalist Alison Mosshart, Queens of the Stone Age guitarist Dean Fertita, bassist for The Raconteurs, Jack Lawrence and which other member of The Raconteurs on drums?

From Quiz Super Groups? Volume II

Answer: Jack White

What a supergroup to start a quiz with, and one which only came about through misfortune. The Kills were supporting The Raconteurs on tour, when Jack White lost his voice. Rather than cancel gigs, he asked Mosshart to step in and perform vocals and was so impressed by her, that he later asked her to record some stuff with him and Lawrence. Purely by chance, Fertita was at the studio, was asked to join in and The Dead Weather were born. They released their first album, "Horehound" in 2009 and were rewarded with immediate success as it went top 20 in Canada, UK, France and in USA on the Billboard 200. They followed "Horehound" with the albums "Sea Of Cowards" (2010) and "Dodge And Burn" (2015), both of which repeated the success of their debut.

3. Start with a Foo Fighter, add a Queen of the Stone Age and mix with a quarter of Led Zeppelin. What is the result?

From Quiz Super Groups?

Them Crooked Vultures were formed in 2009 by Dave Grohl (Nirvana and Foo Fighters), Josh Homme (Queens of the Stone Age and Eagles Of Death Metal) and John Paul Jones (Led Zeppelin). The band achieved success with their debut self titled album, released in 2009, which was a top ten album in Canada, Australia and New Zealand where it reached number two in the charts. From the album, the first single, "New Fang" performed well on the rock charts of many countries, especially Canada where it hit number one, and it also won the band a Grammy at the 2011 ceremony, for Best Hard Rock Performance.

4. Which rocker's first solo single was a cover version of an old Beach Boys tune?

From Quiz Flying Solo

Answer: David Lee Roth

David Lee Roth's first solo single after leaving Van Halen was a cover of the Beach Boys' "California Girls" in 1985. He went on to have more hits in the 1980's like "Just A Gigolo/I Ain't Got Nobody" and "Just Like Paradise". He rejoined Van Halen in 2012 to record the album "A Different Kind of Truth".

5. In 1969 founding member of The Rolling Stones, Brian Jones, tragically died aged 27. Which guitarist replaced him?

From Quiz Classic Rock Bands : Who Replaced Them?

6. When Ricky Martin took the English-speaking world by storm in 1999, with the single, "Livin' la Vida Loca", he did so as a solo artist. However he had previously spent five years as a member of which successful Puerto Rican boy band?

From Quiz All By Myself

Answer: Menudo

Enrique Martin Morales was born in San Juan, Puerto Rico, on the 24th of December, 1971. Known professionally as Ricky Martin, he was barely a teenager when he began his music career, when in 1984 he joined the Latin American boy band, Menudo. Menudo was the brainchild of Edgardo Diaz, a Puerto Rican music producer, who had previously managed another boy band, La Pandilla. However unlike his previous band, Diaz insisted that Menudo would (unusually) have an ever-changing line-up, meaning that once a member became too adult in appearance, they would be replaced by a younger teenager. Ricky Martin spent five years with the band, finally leaving them in 1989 in order to enjoy a well-earned break and contemplate his next career move. He subsequently dabbled in acting (which he had some experience in) before releasing his debut solo album (in Spanish) in 1991, which was entitled "Ricky Martin". In the years that followed, Martin divided his time between acting and singing, earning his first Grammy Award in 1999, in the Best Latin Pop Album category, for his fourth album "Vuelve". In the same year, Martin also released his first English album, "Ricky Martin", which debuted at number one on the United States' "Billboard 200" chart. The first single to be released from the album was "Livin' la Vida Loca", which reached the coveted number one spot on various charts around the world, including the United States' "Billboard Hot 100".

7. What musician does The Cure, Souixsie & The Banshees, and The Glove have in common?

From Quiz Musical Chairs

Answer: Robert Smith

When Souixsie & The Banshees guitarist suddenly quit, Smith offered to fill in as the guitarist and finish out the tour, playing in both bands every night. The Glove was formed as a side project with Smith and Banshees bassist Steve Severin. Later on Smith joined as a fulltime member of the Banshees, contributing to and recording their studio LP "Hyaena" and appearing on the live LP "Nocturne".

8. Which song from the Beach Boy's 1966 "Pet Sounds" LP was released as a single by Brain Wilson before the album was released?

From Quiz Solo Career Hits

Answer: Caroline, No

"Caroline, No" made the Top Forty in the US for Brian. The song's original title was "Carol, I Know". Brian used a variety of session musicians on the recording so no members of the Beach Boys were part of the sessions. The two dogs heard at the end of the song were actually Brian's dogs, Banana and Louie. "I Just Wasn't Made for These Times" was written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher and was one of the two songs on the album that used a theremin. "Don't Talk (Put Your Head on My Shoulder)" was also written by Brian Wilson and Tony Asher. Mike Love sang lead vocals on "Here Today".

Due to conflicting schedules though, it wasn't possible for the bands to get to the studio together for some years and when they finally did, the album "FFS" (2015) was the result. "FFS" gave Sparks their most successful UK album since "Propaganda" (1974) and also performed well in most other European countries.

From Quiz You Know They Got a Hell of a Band

Answer: John Paul Jones

John Paul Jones was the "quiet" bass player and keyboardist from Led Zeppelin but no less influential than any of his band mates. Plant and Page were involved with numerous projects but none were considered to be supergroups. John Bonham died in 1980 which precipitated the break-up of Led Zeppelin. Them Crooked Vultures (TCV) won the 2011 Grammy Award for Best Hard Rock Performance for "New Fang" (2010). Interestingly, Dave Grohl, who came out from behind the Nirvana drum kit to sing lead and play guitar in the Foo Fighters, went back behind the drum kit in TCV and was content for Josh Homme to be the lead singer.
