Hint


Question 5 of 20
5. "Hey man wake up and smell the concrete, Strange to see you've changed like the LB, Could be identity crisis but I can't buy this, Reality bites but that's what life is, Pitiful you, your hideous behavior, Hate what God gave ya, fakin all the flava, Artificial minds seekin out the new trends, Get in where you fit in."

Question 8 of 20
8. "She's the kind of girl you dream of, dream of getting hold of, You'd better forget it, you'll never get it, Cos she'll play around and leave you, leave you and deceive you, You'd better forget it, ooh, you'll regret it."

Hint


Question 12 of 20
12. "You're lying safe in bed, It was all a bad dream, Spinning in your head, Your mind tricked you to feel the pain, Of someone close to you leaving the game of life, So here it is, another chance, Wide awake you face the day, Your dream is over...or has it just begun?" Hint


Question 13 of 20
13. "When the priest comes to read me the last rites, I take a look through the bars at the last sights, Of a world that has gone very wrong for me, Can it be there's some sort of error, Hard to stop the surmounting terror, Is it really the end not some crazy dream." Hint


Question 14 of 20
14. "When you are with me I'm free, I'm careless, I believe, Above all the others we'll fly, This brings tears to my eyes, Cause when you are with me I am free, I'm careless, I believe, Above all the others we'll fly, This brings tears to my eyes." Hint


Question 15 of 20
15. "An all this crass communication, That has left you in the cold, Isn't much for consolation, When you feel so weak and old, But is home is where the heart is, Then there's stories to be told, No you don't need a doctor, No one else can heal your soul."
Hint


Question 16 of 20
16. "Invisible transfers, long distance calls, Hollow laughter in marble halls, Steps have been taken, a silent uproar, Has unleashed the dogs of war, You can't stop what has begun, Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion, We all have a dark side, to say the least, And dealing in death is the nature of the beast." Hint


Question 17 of 20
17. "If you took all the girls I knew when I was single, And brought them all together for one night, I know they'd never match my sweet imagination, Everything looks worse in black and white." Hint


Question 18 of 20
18. "They burned down the gambling house, It died with an awful sound, Funky & Claude was running in and out, pulling kids out of the ground, When it all was over, we had to find another place, Swiss time was running out, It seemed that we would lose the race." Hint


Question 19 of 20
19. "And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything. All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed everything.
All the love gone bad turned my world to black. Tattooed all I see. All that I am. All I'll be. Yeah."
Hint


Question 20 of 20
20. "I feel you, relate to you, accuse you, Wash away us all, take us with the floods, Then throughout the night, they were raped and executed, Cold hearted world, Your language unheard of, the vast sound of tuning out, The rash of negativity is seen one sidedly, burn away the day." Hint

Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. "Don't surround yourself with yourself, Move on back two squares, Send an Instant Karma to me, Initial it with loving care."

Answer: Yes

"I've Seen All Good People" from the album "The Yes Album."
2. "All the redemption I can offer, girl, Is beneath this dirty hood, With a chance to make it good somehow, Hey what else can we do now, Except roll down the window, And let the wind blow back your hair."

Answer: Bruce Springsteen

"Thunder Road" from the album "Born To Run."
3. "You had something to hide, Should have hidden it, shouldn't you, Now you're not satisfied, With what you're being put through."

Answer: Depeche Mode

"The Policy of Truth" from "Violator." For a long time, Depeche Mode had a reputation for only playing gigs when it rained. After listening to a few of their songs, I doubt the rep was unwarranted.
4. "I would say I'm sorry, If I thought that it would change your mind, But I know that this time, I've said too much, Been too unkind."

Answer: The Cure

"Boys Don't Cry" from "Boys Don't Cry" One of the founding groups of the early 80s goth movement, drawing heavily from bands like Bauhaus, The Cure was probably the best selling artist of the genre. This is their attempt at 60's lite pop.
5. "Hey man wake up and smell the concrete, Strange to see you've changed like the LB, Could be identity crisis but I can't buy this, Reality bites but that's what life is, Pitiful you, your hideous behavior, Hate what God gave ya, fakin all the flava, Artificial minds seekin out the new trends, Get in where you fit in."

Answer: Limp Bizkit

"Counterfeit" from "Three Dollar Bill Y'All." I wonder what Fred and co. will do after the only member of their little coterie with any talent, Wes Borland, took off?
6. "Why is it some of us are destined to stay alive, And some of us are here just so that we'll die, How come the bullet hits the other guy, Do we have to try and reason why?"

Answer: Iron Maiden

"Fates Warning" from "No Prayer For The Dying." Bruce Dickinson and the boys of Maiden were such an influence on metal that this song actually inspired the name of one of the premier true metal bands of the last decade, Fates Warning.
7. "Sally, take my hand, Travel south crossland, Put out the fire, Don't look past my shoulder, The exodus is here, The happy ones are near, Let's get together, Before we get much older."

Answer: The Who

"Baba O'Riley" - With the recent death of bassist John Entwistle, The Who and all of rock and roll lost a true legend. We'll miss you, John.
8. "She's the kind of girl you dream of, dream of getting hold of, You'd better forget it, you'll never get it, Cos she'll play around and leave you, leave you and deceive you, You'd better forget it, ooh, you'll regret it."

Answer: Phil Collins

"Easy Lover" - Phil was a member of Genesis in the 70s and 80s (duh) and he and his bandmates were responsible for some of the best selling adult contemporary of the 80s, with Peter Gabriel's "Sledgehammer" and Mike Rutherford's forming Mike and The Mechanics, the world couldn't get enough of Genesis.
9. "Whoever told ya you can never be free, Whoever told ya you can't seek out that dream, Whoever told ya you can never be free, Whoever told you that is your enemy you see..."

Answer: Soulfly

"No Hope = No Fear"
10. "Day or so had passed when I popped the clutch, gave the tranny a spin and slid on into The Stinky Pinky Gulp N' Guzzle Big Rig Snooze-A-Stop."

Answer: The Bloodhound Gang

11. "Home in the valley, Home in the city, Home isn't pretty, Ain't no home for me, Home in the darkness, Home on the highway, Home isn't my way, Home will never be."

Answer: Blue Oyster Cult

"Burning For You" - Blue Oyster Cult inspired a movie in the early 90s called "The Stoned Age" about an inspiration derived from a BOC concert, and the adventures that ensued. Frankie Avalon made a cameo and, to my knowledge, it's the only time he has ever cussed on camera.
12. "You're lying safe in bed, It was all a bad dream, Spinning in your head, Your mind tricked you to feel the pain, Of someone close to you leaving the game of life, So here it is, another chance, Wide awake you face the day, Your dream is over...or has it just begun?"

Answer: Queensryche

"Silent Lucidity" from "Empire." Chris DeGarmo, the writer of most of the music of Queensryche recently left the band, and if you listen to "Hear in the Now Frontier" you'll join me in praying for his swift return.
13. "When the priest comes to read me the last rites, I take a look through the bars at the last sights, Of a world that has gone very wrong for me, Can it be there's some sort of error, Hard to stop the surmounting terror, Is it really the end not some crazy dream."

Answer: Iron Maiden

"Hallowed Be Thy Name" I saw an Eddie doll on EBay for a few hundred bucks. Eddie is the maniacal corpse on the cover of most Iron Maiden albums. If that doesn't tell ya how amazing the Dark Fathers of Metal are, I don't know what does.
14. "When you are with me I'm free, I'm careless, I believe, Above all the others we'll fly, This brings tears to my eyes, Cause when you are with me I am free, I'm careless, I believe, Above all the others we'll fly, This brings tears to my eyes."

Answer: Creed

"My Sacrifice" - that one was a gimme. Creed is possibly the best psuedo-christian rock band since Stryper.
15. "An all this crass communication, That has left you in the cold, Isn't much for consolation, When you feel so weak and old, But is home is where the heart is, Then there's stories to be told, No you don't need a doctor, No one else can heal your soul."

Answer: Guns 'n' Roses

"Coma" from the album "Use Your Illusion I." Guns 'n' Roses, the best rock and roll band ever. Originally titled Hollywood Rose and featured Traci Guns from L.A. Guns, a little known fact. William Axl Rose is currently fronting a new version of the band, but from what I've heard, they sound more Nine Inch Nails than Gunners. Time will tell.
16. "Invisible transfers, long distance calls, Hollow laughter in marble halls, Steps have been taken, a silent uproar, Has unleashed the dogs of war, You can't stop what has begun, Signed, sealed, they deliver oblivion, We all have a dark side, to say the least, And dealing in death is the nature of the beast."

Answer: Pink Floyd

"Dogs of War" from "Momentary Lapse of Reason." David Gilmour released a press statement a few months back announcing that Floyd was dead. The world weeps...
17. "If you took all the girls I knew when I was single, And brought them all together for one night, I know they'd never match my sweet imagination, Everything looks worse in black and white."

Answer: Paul Simon

"Kodachrome"
18. "They burned down the gambling house, It died with an awful sound, Funky & Claude was running in and out, pulling kids out of the ground, When it all was over, we had to find another place, Swiss time was running out, It seemed that we would lose the race."

Answer: Deep Purple

"Smoke on the Water" - One of the first bands to be "metal." The opening riff from this song can be heard influencing bands from Metallica to Sevendust.
19. "And now my bitter hands cradle broken glass of what was everything. All the pictures have all been washed in black. Tattooed everything. All the love gone bad turned my world to black. Tattooed all I see. All that I am. All I'll be. Yeah."

Answer: Pearl Jam

"Black" - IMHO Pearl Jam's best. Then again, in my opinion, Pearl Jam hasn't done much of anything worthwhile since this album. We'll see if I'm proven wrong on that in a few months when the new disk is released.
20. "I feel you, relate to you, accuse you, Wash away us all, take us with the floods, Then throughout the night, they were raped and executed, Cold hearted world, Your language unheard of, the vast sound of tuning out, The rash of negativity is seen one sidedly, burn away the day."

Answer: Pantera

"Floods" - This song is possessed of one of the most amazing guitar performances ever, Dimebag actually makes his guitar talk, without using a squawk box. I've never heard anything that amazing before. This song is the song that made me give Pantera a second chance.
