Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Who covered the song "Your Mama Don't Dance?"

Answer: Poison

Poison are one of the all-time great examples of hair metal bands. "Your Mama Don't Dance" was on their 1988 album "Open Up and Say ... Ahh".

2. KISS recorded a version of an Argent classic with some different lyrics for "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey." Name the song.

Answer: God Gave Rock and Roll to You II

The lyrics from the original don't really fit the mood of the movie or the idea of KISS for that matter. The video was Eric Carr's last video, but Eric Singer actually recorded the drums.

3. Both Winger and Ozzy Osbourne recorded this classic. Name it.

Answer: Purple Haze

Winger recorded it on their debut album. Ozzy recorded it on a compilation cd called Stairway to Heaven/Highway to Hell, which features bands that played the Moscow Peace Festival doing covers of other bands.

4. Tough One: Kik Tracee did a cover of what Simon and Garfunkel song on their debut album?

Answer: Mrs. Robinson

The cover was not very successful. "You're So Strange" is probably their biggest hit.

5. Which song has Mr. Big never played on an album or official live recording?

Answer: Detroit Rock City

"Detroit Rock City" was actually played by Paul Gilbert's (the guitarist for Mr. Big) first band, Racer X. Check it out on "Extreme Volume 2". "Wild World" was recorded on "Bump Ahead", "30 Days in the Hole" on "Mr. Big", and "Baba O' Riley" was on "Live in San Francisco".

6. Which band recorded a version of "Squeeze Box" on their album "Get Some"?

Answer: Roxy Blue

Roxy Blue said they were going to be the next Van Halen.

7. On Warrant's "Cherry Pie", there is a cover of "Train Train." Who did it first?

Answer: Blackfoot

Blackfoot had a great 70's southern rock sound.

8. Another KISS question: Paul Stanley with Desmond Child and Holly Knight wrote a song called "Hide Your Heart." Who did NOT record this song?

Answer: Lita Ford

Molly Hatchet has a very odd version of it, when compared to KISS, but if you get a chance to check out the Ace man's version, do it. It's from Ace's "Trouble Walkin'" Cd.

9. What Steve Winwood penned song was covered by House of Lords?

Answer: Can't Find My Way Home

Winwood's version was with Clapton in Blind Faith. House of Lords did an excellent version of this on the "Sahara" album. (They are probably one of the most underrated hair metal bands, in my opinion.)

10. What 80's hair metal band recorded a live album of all Led Zeppelin songs?

Answer: Great White

The album is called "Great Zeppelin". Great White always did a good job of covering other songs ("Once Bitten, Twice Shy"). The others listed also have cover albums recorded.
