Music Quiz 32

2008-10-07

Welcome to the latest music quiz – this time as initial letter riddle: I show the first letters of each word of titles or several lines from the lyrics, and you have to guess title and artist.

If you need examples, check out the quiz from 5 Aug…

There’s a bunch of 5 riddles this afternoon – and another 5 at about 20:00! And if needed, I’ll give hints from time to time (but in German, unless there actually is an English participant)… In case of doubt, I used the lyrics versions from LyricWiki.

Avantasia: Carry Me Over
Never been told my prayers would be answered
Wherever I go I see you around
Never been told about something that beautiful
Will bring me up to let me down

Carry me over, carry me over
Carry me over now
Carry me over, carry me over
Carry me over now

Skunk Anansie: Hedonism (Just Because You Feel Good)
(stimmt, das Lied von oben ;) )
I hope you’re feeling happy now
I see you feel no pain at all it seems
I wonder what you’re doin’ now
I wonder if you think of me at all
Do you still play the same moves now
Or are those special moods
For someone else
I hope you’re feeling happy now

Just because you feel good
Doesn’t make you right (oh no)
Just because you feel good
Still want you here tonight

AC/DC: T.N.T.
See me ride out of the sunset
On your colour TV screen
Out for all that I can get
If you know what I mean
Women to the left of me
And women to the right
Ain’t got no gun
Ain’t got no knife
Don’t you start no fight

‘Cause I’m
(T.N.T.) I’m dynamite
(T.N.T.) And I’ll win the fight
(T.N.T.) I’m a power load
(T.N.T.) Watch me explode

dieses Lied gab’s in einem früheren Quiz schon mal,
einem Bilderrätsel – und die Band auch

In Extremo: Frei zu sein
Ich bin ein Strolch
doch bin ich frei
an mir ging dieser Kelch vorbei

Frei zu sein
bedarf es wenig
nur wer frei ist
ist ein König
Schamlos nimmt der dreiste Dieb
denn er ist seines Glückes Schmied

From Hell to Heaven

2008-10-03

playing guitar Rockantenne today played the “100 rock songs for eternity”, a Top 100 that the listeners could vote for for the last weeks. The entire list is available here; Queen made no. 86 with We Are The Champions, (only) 31 with We Will Rock You and the Top 10 which looks like this:

10. AC/DC: T.N.T.
9. Guns N’ Roses: November Rain
8. AC/DC: Thunderstruck
7. Deep Purple: Smoke On The Water
6. Queen: Bohemian Rhapsody
5. Metallica: One
4. Deep Purple: Child In Time
3. Metallica: Nothing Else Matters
2. AC/DC: Highway To Hell
1. Led Zeppelin: Stairway To Heaven

Nice how heaven came after hell – but thanks to the two we-have-to-be-funny chatterboxes who presented the last few hours, there even wasn’t enough time before the 7pm news to play the winning title completely! :(

Alright, no.1 comes as no surprise – I’m rather amazed that One got so high up, even above BoRhap… or how do you see that? Or are you surprized about other places?

The Cosmos was Rocking in Munich

2008-10-02

Cosmos Rocks cover Last night the rest of Queen with Paul Rodgers were in the Olympiahalle in Munich as part of their “The Cosmos Rocks” tour – and a couple of fans including myself were there, too,1 and they were in for a great rock concert in which a few old men could show that they still got what it takes.

The stage, by the way, contained a nice video wall showing some animations as well as Freddie Mercury who thus sung Bijou and Bohemian Rhapsody, a smal stage (almost) in the middle of the arena, Oktoberfest hats and accordion for 39, and the guys really seemed to enjoy singing and playing – and (which some folks were searching for here) without support group, the Queen rest + Paul Rodgers (plus Spike Edney, Jamie Moses and Danny Miranda) managed it on their own to rock from approx. 20:15 to 22:30.

Set list (hopefully without mistakes, but no guarantee):

Intro
Surf’s Up… School’s Out! (from the new album)
Tie Your Mother Down
Fat Bottom Girls
Another One Bites The Dust
I Want It All
I Want To Break Free
C-lebrity (from the new album)
Seagull (Paul solo; song by Bad Company)
Love Of My Life (Brian + audience)
39 (acoustic, with Oktoberfest hats…)
Drum solo (Roger, starting with some bass percussion (or whatever you may call it: playing with drumsticks on a contrabass), then on a drum set that was extended one part after another, on the front stage)
I’m In Love With My Car (Roger sings)
A Kind Of Magic (Roger sings)
Say It’s Not True (first Roger, then Brian, then Paul came back)
Bad Company (song by Bad Company (duh))
Feel Like Makin’ Love (song by Bad Company)
Guitar solo
Bijou (with Freddie shown on screen, singing)
Last Horizon
Radio Ga Ga
Crazy Little Thing Called Love
The Show Must Go On
Bohemian Rhapsody (with Freddie shown on screen, singing)
Cosmos Rockin’ (from the new album; start of the encore, as planned, of course)
All Right Now (song by Free)
We Will Rock You
We Are The Champions
God Save The Queen

Music Quiz 30

2008-09-23

Musik-Quiz

Welcome to the new music quiz after the little break – this time I’ve got something new for you again: the question is Which doesn’t fit in the row?

Example: Brown Sugar — Eight Days a Week — Get Off of My Cloud — Start Me Up
Solution: Eight Days a Week is a Beatles song, not from the Rolling Stones like the rest

Some of the following riddles may be easy, some quickly to be solved with Google or Wikipedia, some are rather special – let’s see how well you fare. :)

So let’s start: What does not fit in the row? And why?

1.) Help! — Ticket to Ride — Yellow Submarine — Yesterday

Tip: Album…
Gelöst von Pierre: Yellow Submarine ist nicht vom Album “Help”.

2.) Ich+Ich: So soll es bleiben — Kid Rock: All Summer Long — Schnuffel: Kuschel-Song — OneRepublic/Timbaland: Apologize
Tip: Charts…
Gelöst von Pierre: Ich+Ich war kein Nr.1-Hit in Deutschland.

3.) Kings Of Leon — Queen — The Dandy Warhols — Weird Al Yankovic
Tip: Song…
Gelöst von David: Kings Of Leon haben keinen Titel, der das Wort “Bohemian” enthält.

4.) Back In Black — Rock’n’Roll Train — Touch Too Much — T.N.T.
Tip: Album…
Gelöst von Sebastian: Das (neue) Album, auf dem Rock’n’Roll Train ist, gibt’s noch nicht zu kaufen.

5.+6.) Bonfire — Helloween — Rammstein — Warlock
    Looking for two answers here.
Tip: In beiden Fällen ist dieselbe Band die Lösung (aus 2 verschiedenen Gründen)…
Gelöst von Sebastian: bei Warlock singt eine Frau; und der zweite Punkt war, dass es Warlock nicht mehr gibt, wobei ich ein paar Festivals vor ein paar Jahren aber nicht berücksichtigt hatte.

7.) Blind Guardian — Bonfire — Hammerfall — Helloween
Hinweis: Sebastians Vorschlag, Bonfire machen Hardrock statt Power Metal, ist hier nicht gemeint.
Gelöst von Sebastian: Hammerfall (nicht aus Deutschland, sondern aus Schweden)

8.) Bushido — Eminem — Samy Deluxe — Sido
Gelöst von Pierre (25 Sek. vor David): Eminem (ist nicht aus Deutschland).

9.) Anastacia — Cheap Trick — Fleetwood Mac — Whitney Houston
Davids Idee eines nicht selbstbetitelten Debütalbums von Anastacia war nicht schlecht, aber nicht ganz das, was ich gemeint hatte…
Tip: …aber die Idee war nicht schlecht…
Gelöst von David: Anastacia hatte keine zwei selbstbetitelten Alben.
Siehe auch engl. Wikipedia: List of musicians with multiple self-titled albums

10.) Another One Bites The Dust — Now I’m Here — Radio Ga Ga — We Are The Champions
Tip: Album…
Gelöst von Pierre: Radio Ga Ga war nicht auf Greatest Hits I.

Das war’s, danke fürs Mitmachen, bis nächste Woche zu (höchstwahrscheinlich) den Bilderrätseln…
