Title: Guess the song by the trivia posted
Post by: GEsoftwhite100watts on September 23, 2014, 10:45:23 PM: I had this idea for some time now but decided to finally post it...
You guess the song based on the trivia posted, for example...
Player 1: This song by Billy Joel starts with the sound of glass shattering
Player 2: You may be Right...which song by Queensryche mentions an AK-47?
Player 1 or 3: Empire....Which song by Pink Floyd is filled with glass shattering sounds and strange voices?
And so on...
Alright, so...
Radio-edit versions of this popular Nickelback song have the word "Drug" bleeped out, making the song's chorus sound awkward:

Post by: Mike on September 25, 2014, 03:39:49 PM: Hmm interesting. 8)

Rockstar by Nickelback? They don't bleep out "drugs" on my local radio station. Censoring "drugs" is pretty rediculous lol. Although here they allow words that I don't agree should be allowed.

This Metallica song starts with trumpts in the intro, which is actually taken from a western movie and played in reverse.

Post by: GEsoftwhite100watts on September 30, 2014, 09:29:49 PM: It's worth a laugh IMO now and then. Having worked on commercial fishing vessels I love watching other people doing much worse jobs be stupid on camera.

Title: Re: Guess the song by the trivia posted
Post by: Mike on October 13, 2014, 06:47:52 PM: Oh yeah One does start with machine guns. On the radio they skip right to the guitar intro.

Ah Teenage- I mean- Baba O'Reilly. :P ;D

This bands only widely-known song is called Drive, often mistaken as "Whatever tomorrow brings", because of the chorus (whatever tomorrow brings, I'll be there, with open arms and open eyes, yeah) but their one of my favorite bands and I listen to them all the time.
Title: Re: Guess the song by the trivia posted

Title: Re: Guess the song by the trivia posted
Post by: Mike on October 16, 2014, 06:02:00 AM: Is it Pardon Me? That's one of their others hits. Or Anna Molly? I love their SCIENCE album and also like Make Yourself, Morning View, and Light Genades. Don't care much for their newest album "If not now, When?" though. It's amazing how different each album is from each other though, usually all band's songs sound similar.

My favorite songs besides the SCIENCE album are probably Wish You Were Here, Pardon Me, Deep inside, Echo, Stellar, Anna Molly, and Warning.

No clue what the first is. Never heard a song like that lol.

This popular metal band is frequently abbriviated as "A7X".

Well, I do know this one, Nirvana. Yeah, I always found that song ironic.

The lead singer of this popular 70s and 80s rock band committed suicide too. The band was named after a city in the New England area.

Title: Re: Guess the song by the trivia posted
Post by: Mike on January 18, 2015, 05:39:13 PM: Yep Brad Delp committed suicide on March 9, 2007 at age 55. He had placed two charcoal grills in his sealed master bedroom and died of carbon monoxide poisioning. His last interview was two days before his death (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KA5Zg56vJI4) and he seemed perfectly fine! The reasoning behind his suicide remains a mystery. Boston is one of my favorite older rock bands. ;D

Hmm I don't know. I might know the song but I need more of a hint than that lol.

When this popular Dire Straits song is played on the radio, I always wonder if it'll be the version with a certain dirty word:
Title: Re: Guess the song by the trivia posted
Post by: Mike on January 18, 2015, 10:06:59 PM: Oh... Yeah... I know that song... lol

Ah Money for Nothin'. 8) LOL I don't think it's a swear word but yeah some stations bleep it out and others don't... One thing I find strange about radio censoring is thay with the word @$$hole, they will bleep out the "hole" part but not the @$$ part. And @$$ when said alone isn't censored at all. Since when is "hole" a bad word? lol
Title: Re: Guess the song by the trivia posted
Post by: GEsoftwhite100watts on January 18, 2015, 11:28:39 PM: Best one I've heard butchered on the radio was Nickelback's 'Rockstar'...they cut out the word "drug" making it sound really awkward since it's in the chorus!
This song has also been commonly misinterpreted as having "wrapped up like a (dirty word)" when it's actually "Revved up like a Deuce"
Title: Re: Guess the song by the trivia posted
Post by: Mike on January 19, 2015, 12:11:56 PM: Ah that one's Blinded by the Light (how ironic for you to use that on this forum lol). I honestly always though it was wrapped up like a do---e lol.
