Well, Dave Mustain has been to Rehab 18 times and is Suprizingly still alive, and clean.

Rob halford came out of the Closet During a gay pride parade in england. It's humorus, he was on top of a float, just kind of sitting there, waving at everyone, so casual, but everybody knew anyway.

Just look at the leather clothes and cap and whip as part of his stage attire in the eighties.
Also... little anecdote here... he was hitting on Phil Anselmo during the Painkiller tour of Europe when Judas Priest was supported by Pantera and Annihilator.

Bahahahaha!, How did Phil Anselmo react? ( I cant imagine too well considering there a southern amaerican band and homosexuality isnt as widely accepted down there as other places)

BTW-Alot of Metal artists use leather and bondage type stuff on stage, so its really hard to tell whats gay anymore and what isnt.

Could it be you're mixing something up with The Haunted? Seattle, USA is kinda far away for a band from Gothenburg, Sweden and no, they did not collectively move from one continent to the other.

I just thought of some more trivia questions in my spare time:

1. Lamb Of God were formerly known as what?
2. Severe Torture were banned from which country due to their graphic album artwork? (hint: Celtic Frost is from this country)
3. Rob Barret was in what band before joining Cannibal Corpse?

Sorry for the double post, but here's one that will puzzle your brains:

Name every vocalist Iron Maiden has had since 1980. That means, if they sang lead vocals on only one song during Maiden's career, they count.

And don't look up Metal-Archives...it won't help you

How do you mean sung? Live? or on ANY release (demos and all)?

Written by HardSide on 29.11.2006 at 06:26

Who are the two people credited for creating the devil horn with hand?

Ive heard that it was the guitarist from deep purple who used to play his pick in between his middle, third finger and thumb, and when wanted to hail the crowd after the show, it looked like he was doing devil horns because he was still grasping his pick that way. I may be wrong...

I saw someone wasnt sure where children of bodom got their name from, theres a lake in espoo called bodom. I thought that was really obvious..

I gots a Question.
What language is the word Meshuggah from and what does it mean?

Written by Marcel Hubregtse on 13.12.2006 at 15:11

Okay. I'm going to have to apologise and slightly reword my question. I wasn't sure how many vocalists Maiden had before they released the Soundhouse Tapes, but I just verified that fact.

What I want is the names of all lead (not just back backing!) vocalists Maiden have had during their career ON DISC (7", LP, EP, Single etc. etc.)

For example, if singer X sang lead vocals on song Y which is released on format Z, he counts as one choice.

Three you should get right away. The other two are less obvious.

As a bonus, you can tell me the three other vocalists that have sung lead vocals for Maiden before the Soundhouse Tapes were recorded.

So, for full marks, tell me the names of all 8 vocalists Maiden have had during their career, live and on disc.

They've only had 5 lead vocalists, and ONLY 3 ever recorded anything with them. Paul Day and Dennis Wilcock never recorded anything official with Iron Maiden. There are no official recordings before the Soundhouse Tapes. So recording lead vocalists are Paul Di Anno, Bruce Dickinson, and Blaze Baley.
Iron Maiden as such was formed in 1975. And up to the release of The Soundhouse Tapes only Paul Day and Dennis Wilcock handled the vocal duties. Bob Verschoyle was a vocalist when the band was called Gypsy's Kiss, so it WASN'T Iron Maiden yet.
I don't know where you got the information from that Maiden has had 8 vocalists, but that information is 100% wrong, sorry to say.

You've got 5, now there are three more to get. Believe me, there are three more. These are people that were in Iron Maiden, when it was called Iron Maiden, and sang lead vocals at least one time during their career in the band. To make it easier, two of these three have been recorded singing on Iron Maiden's discography, one only sang vocals live. But, I assure you, they do exist.

Try watching 'The Early Days' and looking through your B-Sides collection again

The questions in this thread are getting harder and harder. Originally the thread was made for making up questions for testing people who were new to metal and were just learning. I'm sure if half the metalheads here can't get some of these harder ones then new-to-metal people won't!
