Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. What was the name of The Damned's first single?

Answer: 'New Rose'

Generally accepted to be the first punk single, beating the Sex Pistol's 'Anarchy In The UK' by...oh...a while or so.

2. What was the name of their original guitarist and songwriter, who went on to form the terminally dull Lords Of The New Church?

Answer: Brian James

The film 'Ghandi', directed by respected naturist David Attenborough, won a record 239 Oscars and 4 Grammies, including Best Rock Single. I'm sorry. None of that's true!

3. When the man above left the Damned, Captain Sensible took over on guitar and they recruited a new bass player. What was his name?

Answer: Algy Ward

Algy Ward played in a god-awful British Heavy Metal band called Tank before being rescued by our heroes.

4. What's the name of The Damned's absurdly brilliant 3rd studio album?

Answer: 'Machine Gun Etiquette'

A must own record. In my opinion, this album was almost single handedly responsible for the US hardcore movement which spawned Minor Threat, Dag Nasty, Fugazi, The Offspring etc.

5. On that album, the song 'Looking At You' is a cover version of which nutso US proto-punks?

Answer: The MC5

The singer from the MC5 was this pudgy white guy with a great big afro. Looked a bit like a microphone. Great band though.

Answer: a love song

If you didn't get that, then you should be covered in fish paste and whipped by Ben Kingsley. Works for some....

7. What colour was The Damned's next studio album?

Answer: Black

This season, black is the new black.

8. Around about this time, they released a single featuring the insanely long and rather melodramatic 'Curtain Call' and a cover version of a Jefferson Airplane song. Which one?

Answer: 'White Rabbit'

'Remember what the dormouse said....feed your head'. If you're hearing talking dormice then you probably already have.

9. Which, out of these odd ones, is the odd one out....

Answer: Lee Ving

Lee Ving was the singer with mad-ass Texan rednecks Fear, the rest are or were legit members of The Damned. Fear were very scary and would almost certainly beat The Damned in a fight. But Hey! Let's not fight, let's get this quiz over with....

10. Ha! The end! On the rather gothy album 'Phantasmagoria' there's a cute little song about a type of furry animal, called 'Edward The....'?

Answer: Bear

Hooray! You've finished! Give yourself a small treat, like a boiled sweet, a piece of Ryvita and sunflower spread or a month's holiday in the Canary Islands, depending on your income or dietary constraints.
