What's the name of AC/DC's singer who was recruited in time to make this masterpiece?
Michael Angelo Batio is one of many known guitar virtuosos. He's known for playing a somewhat special guitar. What's so special about it? Name it or describe roughly.
Which wacky and zany bespeckled fun-punk band played the minor hit "Nellie the Elephant"?
The album "The Crazy World of Arthur Brown" was a psychedelia landmark from the group by the same name. If I'm thinking of a hot hit from that album, what is the title of the song I'm thinking of?
David Bowie's song "I'm Afraid of Americans" was co-written by Bowie and Brian Eno, but a mix-collaboration version with a certain american industrial rock group would produce the most popular version with an accompanying music video. Which group?
Not long ago, Coldplay was (again) sued for plagiarism by a famous guitarist for stealing significant portions of his song for their hit "Viva la Vida" from their latest album. Which famous guitarist?
Marilyn Manson has covered many songs, among them popular 80s hit "Tainted Love". However, the song was first popularized with another cover version in 1981 by which english synthpop duo?
Which famous country artist co-starred in all three of the Smokey and the Bandits films and also got a hit with the theme for the first movie?
Which now deceased austrian pop artist made a "rap song" about Amadeus Mozart?
Who made the soundtrack for the movie "Edward Scissorhands"?

Really good attempt here by Pianogirl

Brian Johnson is right, Quad Guitar is alright but I wish there was a description - Toy Dolls is correct. Nine Inch Nails, Satriani, Soft Cell, Falco .. all those correct.

I'll list the solutions I did not give you points for :

4. Fire
8. Jerry Reed
10. Danny Elfman

That gives Pianogirl75 7 points for a 7 points total!

I'm drunk at the moment and don't usually have internet these days and on top of that, I'm going on a cabin trip for the weekend so I won't be able to post new questions until monday. If anyone else want to give it a shot, go ahead.

yeah well I know the songs, but I don't know the lyrics... but that'S ok, the game has a new format

Alright, next set :

1. Who was or is this?

2. Varg Vikernes is perhaps the most notorious black metaller around. In 1993, he knife-killed Mayhem's then guitarist Euronymus and got convicted for the murder along with some church arsons. In jail, he formulated his nazi-ish ideologies and also released two more albums under his one-man black metal project. What is this project called?

3. Robert Wyatt is a popular figure from which english-originated musical scene .. ?

4. The Prodigy's music video for the song Smack My Bitch Up was considered somewhat controversial. The video was filmed from a first person perspective, meaning it was "seen from a person's eyes". This person goes on a drinking binge, getting into fights, groping women and finally having sex with a prostitute (I think). What is the twist at the very end?

5. Christopher George Latore Wallace (May 21, 1972 – March 9, 1997) was shot and killed in Los Angeles after attending a party held by VIBE Magazine. When his driver stopped at a stop-sign, another car pulled up and opened fire on his vehicle, hitting him with six shots and killing him almost instantaneous. The murder case is still open. What was Christophers artist name?

6. One of the world's most famous guitar virtuosos claims he was raised by chickens in a chicken coup and now wants to warn everyone of the fast-food chicken holocaust. He wears a mask to hide his identity and is amazingly productive, having put out more than 25 solo albums since his debut in the early 90s and have collaborated on over twice as many other albums. Which artist is this?

7. The following lyrics are from a 1987 hit : "If you hear something late at night - some kind of trouble, some kind of fight - just don't ask me what it was". The song is about an evasive, abused boy who lives upstairs from you. What is the name of the song and who is the artist?

8. Provide me with artist and songname (although appearant) for the following cheesy karaoke movie :

9. Which famous punker made a cover of Paul Anka's "My Way" (made famous by Frank Sinatra) in 1978?

10. In 1975, Hawkwind's then bassist got arrested for possession of cocaine (thought it was actually amphetamine) by the border police when the band was going from USA into Canada. Fed up with their bassist's erratic behaviour, he was kicked from the band. However, the bass player would help form a new popular band named after the last song he wrote for Hawkwind. Who is that bassist and what was the new band?

Some are easy, some are hard. I've tried to span more genres and since I guess it's hard for one person to have broad enough knowledge, I've added a bit more trivia than usual perhaps.

Alright, although Biggie is a bit skimpy (Biggie Smalls or Notorious B.I.G. please!), every answer you guys gave are correct. The ones you didn't get are :

2. Burzum
7. Luca by Suzanne Vega

However, since you both failed to stick to the rules, you both recieve 0 points for a total of 0 points.

You have to answer all, not just a select few!
