Hey guys!

How is everyone doing? I hope all is going well. I have a question for everyone here. I need some Metal trivia questions. Every Monday evening we hold worship, and there is a social time beforehand, and we have been working to educate people on the Metal culture. It has proven to be a very helpful way of doing this lesson, as apposed to someone sitting there and giving a lecture.

Now what we did last week was type up 11 or 12 questions, taped them all around the room, and gave people sheets with lines for the answers and had them walk around the room. Not only did this help build community, it also really taught people there is more to metal than big hair, bat heads and screaming.

Where I could use some help is in the area of questions. They can be true/false, multipule choice, or even fill in the blank.
Some examples of questions we have had were:
  • Which Nation has the most metal bands?
  • How many bat heads has Ozzy bitten off?
  • Which are not real genres of metal (we had things like Projector, Blood and Evil mixxed in with Folk, Gothic and Power)
  • Do all metal bands have guitars?

    So I think you get the idea. If people here could come up with questions that would be great. I think this will also be fun for people on the site to quiz each other with. Now, keep the questions rather simple to begin with. Most people won't know which album was the first to use a 7-string guitar in it's full potential. Feel free to make some of them funny. Metal isn't all serious, I mean, look at Poision of Korn!? Also, including the answers would be great.

    Thanks everyone,

    Hemlock \m/

    Well, my turn, I go with an easy one and a not so easy one.

    How did Def Leppard Drummer, Richard John Cyril Allen, lost his arm?

    How many songs, are covered in the Godsmack performance "Batalla de Los Tambores"? (Only drum parts covered obviously.)

    Well seesm that noone knows the answer to trivia 2. So here it goes:

    "The drum solo "Batalla de los tambores", played by Sully and Shannon, which the band regularly plays live, started by having two drum sets on rehearsals during the tours. It begins with a drum riff from the song "Get Up, Get Out!", from their first album; and gradually becomes a medley of drum parts of songs: YZZ by Rush, Walk This Way by Aerosmith, and Mobi Dick by Led Zeppelin. The solo is never rehearsed, it's just played."

    Give that I'm probably teh biggest fan here, and that I was teh one who added this trivia for the band... it's no wonder that I know it

    That, and Godsmack is not a popular band around here. But thatnks for that information, I'll see if I can find a recording of that solo, it does sound interesting.

    Question: What two Canadian Metal vocalists share the same birthday? Hint: They both were guests on the same 2004 hit album.

    Yeah, it's not very popular I don't think ou'll find a recording... Maybe a video. Batalla de los tambores is not recorded 'cause it's something they always perform live. If you can get their DVD "Changes the movie", it's there.

    Devin Townsend and James LaBrie? , i guess that by "2004 hit album" you meant The Human Equation album by Ayreon

    Doug Pinnick of King's X was guest vocals on Lines in the Sand.

    I have a question for you, too: which artist (vocalist) did an album with guitarist Jimmy Page in 1993?

    and by the way: there's no such thing as blues/metal - you cannot classify Yardbirds or Cream like that - simply it's blues influeced british rock, that's all. classifying Black Sabbath as stoner doom is wrong and hilarious - these terms did not even exist in 1969 when BS started their career. BS are the forefathers of metal and stoner and doom have appeared and existed owing to Slack Sabbath (long live Tony Iommi's riffs)

    Ah shit. I had hoped first a ton of people would scream "Metallica, moron!" at me. Now you've spoiled it all. Yes, it was the American Solitude, who later changed name to Solitude Aeturnus.
