Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which non-Beatle was called in to play lead guitar on "While My Guitar Gently Weeps" on the "White Album"?

Answer: Eric Clapton

Clapton was a good friend of George Harrison, who asked him to play lead guitar on his "While My Guitar Gently Weeps". Clapton was hesitant at first but was eventually convinced by Harrison, not only did he supply great guitar work for the track but it also lightened the atmosphere between the Beatles during the otherwise turbulant "White Album" sessions.

2. Michael Jackson's "Beat It" features a guest appearance by which famous guitarist?

Answer: Eddie Van Halen

Eddie performed the guitar solo for "Beat It" which he recorded in just two takes and didn't even request payment for his performance.

3. Which actor played slide guitar on a track on Oasis' "Be Here Now" album?

Answer: Johnny Depp

Depp played slide guitar on "Fade In-Out", apparently because Noel Gallagher was too drunk to play at the time.

4. Which one of these artists did not feature on Bob Dylan's "Under The Red Sky" album?

Answer: Roger McGuinn

Slash plays guitar on "Wiggle Wiggle", Elton John plays piano on "Two by Two" and Harrison features on the album's title track playing slide guitar. Although McGuinn didn't feature, his former band mate from the Byrds, David Crosby, sings harmony vocals on "Born in Time".

5. Which of these did not supply backing vocals for the Beatles' "All You Need is Love"?

Answer: Yoko Ono

The song also featured backing vocals from Hunter Davies (the Beatles' biographer), Patti Harrison (George's and later Eric Clapton's wife), Keith Richards, Graham Nash and Paul's brother Mike.

6. Which folk singer duets with Robert Plant on Led Zeppelin's "The Battle of Evermore"?

Answer: Sandy Denny

The song features on the album "Led Zeppelin IV". Each band member of Led Zeppelin had a special symbol featuring on the album's sleeve, as a show of gratitude they also allowed Denny to choose a symbol featured on the sleeve (three pyramids). When Led Zeppelin would perform this song live bassist John Paul Jones would sing Denny's parts.

7. Which of these artists have not featured on a David Bowie song?

Answer: Elvis Costello

Queen performed "Under Pressure" (which Bowie wrote) with him. He performed a duet with Jagger on "Dancing in the Street" and one with Crosby on a version of "Little Drummer Boy".

Answer: BB King

The song featured on U2's 1988 "Rattle And Hum" album.

Answer: Aerosmith

Run DMC teamed up with Aerosmith to perform a version of Aerosmith's 1975 song "Walk This Way" with rap sections added in. The song and its video became hugely popular and it was one of the first rap videos to receive a lot of airplay on MTV.

10. Which one of these didn't appear on Ringo Starr's 1973 album "Ringo?"

Answer: Pete Best

The closest thing to a Beatles reunion. Lennon wrote and sung harmony vocals on "I'm The Greatest". McCartney features on "You're Sixteen" and "Six O' Clock". Harrison plays guitar on "Photograph" (which he and Ringo co-wrote) and features on three other of the album's ten tracks.
