1. Guns and Roses had an early hit that mentioned Captain America. In it, the good Captain had been "torn apart". What is the name of the song?

Answer: Paradise City

"Captain America's been torn aprt, he's a court jester with a broken heart. Turn me around, take me back to the start. I must be losing my mind. Are you blind? I've seen it all a million times!"

2. The first song by Our Lady Peace to receive widespread airplay in the U.S. asks why which super hero is dead?

My personal favorite, the song seems to be for every person who ever questioned, "Why aren't things as simple as the comics?"

Interesting play on the triangle relationship between Jimmy, Lois, and Superman. Poor Jimmy was never able to rescue the girl on his own!

The band hails from Mississippi- a state not well known for alternative rock acts.

Answer: Flash

The song only had a few words interspersed with a lot of cool drumming and dramatic (but low-key) guitar work. The hero's name is "Flash Gordon".

10. And we'll end with another simple one. Who re-recorded the old Spiderman theme from the TV show for the recent movie release?

Answer: Aerosmith

The song is slow and insidious as the original TV recording never was!
