Tickets, Pub Quiz

David Bowie. Starsailor. Archive. Kings of Leon. Hawksley Workman. Muse. The Darkness. Faithless. Dido. Eagle-eye Cherry. Nickelback. That is a list of artists that I will be seeing this summer on the festivals. I already got tickets for Caribana, Montreux Jazz Festival, and Paleo. It's gonna be a nice summer. David Bowie will be the highlight. He is a legend and I'll never waste a chance of seeing him live. And that list might be expanded with these artists: Peter Gabriel, IAM, Black Eyed Peas, Joss Stone, Seal, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, PJ Harvey, Scissor Sisters, The Music, and Phil Collins. Ok, not Phil Collins. But for the rest I might end up buying a ticket when the concerts are coming closer.

A couple of days ago I put a quiz on my F1 forum. It's about music. At first I thought it will be an easy one, as these are just random information stored in my head. But apparantlty nobody could answer all of them (the best was 4), so I'm sure that I am officially a music geek. Here are the questions and see how much you know about music:
1. What famous band was initially called On A Friday because they used to rehearse - on a friday? Radiohead
2. What is Neil Diamond's first UK no 1 (clue: as a songwriter)? I'm A Believer - The Monkees
3. Why did Lars Ulrich (Metallica's drummer) move from Sweden Denmark to the USA? To become a pro tennis player
4. Which artist is the most covered artist (ie have his/her songs covered the most by other artists)? Bo Diddley
5. Where did Debbie Harry (Blondie) work before joining Blondie? The Playboy Club - as a waiter/bunny, hairdresser, and secretary
6. The most famous punk club is CBGB in NY. What does CBGB stand for? Country BlueGrass Blues
7. Who gave the nickname 'Sid Vicious' to Simon Ritchie and where did that nickname came from? John Lydon. 'Sid' is his hamster's name, 'Vicious' from the Lou Reed song
8. What is the link between Irish rappers House of Pain and nu-metal numbs Limp Bizkit? DJ Lethal is the DJ in both bands
9. What is Duran Duran's John Taylor real name? Nigel John Taylor
10. Who introduced drugs (weed) to The Beatles? Bob Dylan (thank God for Bob, otherwise we wouldn't have Revolver, Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Heart Club Band, and The White Album)

I'll post the answers in a couple of days.

Have a good weekend y'all!
