[edv]

A light, non-political thread in the traditional Chit Chat style!

This is for Oldies music trivia:
1950s
1960s
1970s
1980s
Anything newer and you young-uns can start your own thread.

RULES
1) A correct answer gives you the honour of asking the next question.
2) GOOGLEing is not allowed, unless the poser says so. Use your memories or consult your music collection to find answers.
3) Tougher questions might require hints to be provided by the poser.

So I'll start with an easy one:

I was 2 at the time, so it isn't from experience!! I will guess it was a nickel?

[edv]

LOL I was 10 and able to make phone calls...not a nickel.

50's: not born yet
60's: not born yet
70's: not born yet
80's: too young, thank god :D

[Brown, Jon Brow]

I might be able to answer some of the question on 70's rock, even though I only lived in the 80's for 10 months.

[edv]

Whippersnappers!

[harvick#1]

I still know quite a bit of oldies music :p : and I still think alot of it is better than the stuff that comes out today.

why this Tecno- Lady Gag music is classified as music

[driveace]

Probably a Dime!
Cos it ryme,s with lots of other words

[edv]

Correct. See, I told you that one was easy!

Your go :up:

[edv]

C'mon driveace...we're waiting.
Perhaps we should also have a 48-hour rule. After which it becomes open to anyone.?

[Mark in Oshawa]

Go for it Edv.....

[edv]

All right. I'll bite, and ask another Q

Jim Morrison & The Doors had a huge hit with 'L.A.Woman'. What is most significant about this phrase, repeated in the song: "Mr. Mojo Risin' "?

[Donney]

It's an acronym for Jim Morrison?

[Mark in Oshawa]

I was going to give the same answer but Donney has it I think...

[edv]

You're both wrong.
It's an anagram of Jim Morrison.
But Donney had the right idea!

Go ahead Donney

[Donney]

Thanks!

Who were the members of the one show band, The Dirty Mac?

[Norwegian Blue]

If I remember rightly.... Yoko Ono, John Lennon, Eric Clapton, Mitch Mitchell and Keith Richards(on Bass!) ?

[Donney]

Close but no cigar.

[Norwegian Blue]

They did two songs... one was just the four of them... and the other they were joined by Yoko and maybe a violinist? C'mon, must be close now! I haven't even gone back to watch the video!

[Donney]

OK, you're right. Your turn....

[Norwegian Blue]

Cheers Donney! hmmm... how about...

Who , after starting out as a member, was commonly known as the '6th rolling stone'?

[Donney]

Damn! I know that one but I can't remember... (and I don't wan to google it)

[Norwegian Blue]

I could give you the instrument if you want....

[driveace]

Not Jeff Beck ?

[driveace]

I could give you the instrument if you want....
Go on then!

[schmenke]

Billy Preston?

[edv]

Brian Jones? ...although I guess he was a bona fide Rolling Stone...

[Norwegian Blue]

Well I'll just say that Billy Preston was closest so far... and I'm counting Jones fully in the 5!

[edv]

Starting out as a member?
My memory was this: Jagger, Richards, Jones, Watts and Wyman.
After Jones was found face down in the pool, they eventually went with Ron Wood.
Are you referring to someone who played with them before they were famous?
Might need a clue here...at least for old me.

[schmenke]

Well I'll just say that Billy Preston was closest so far... and I'm counting Jones fully in the 5!

So we are looking for a keyboardist then...?

[Firstgear]

I believe there was a guy that was kicked out of the band early on, because he was considered too much of a 'pretty-boy' to fit in with the 'Stones image. But I can't remember his name. This guy being on keyboards does ring a bell.

[Norwegian Blue]

FirstGear is getting close... Originally we had a 6 piece of Jones, Richards, Jagger, Watts, Wyman and ???... And of course Jones was replaced by Mick Taylor, who was replaced by Ronnie Wood.

So we're looking for the ???! He was indeed a Pianist. And although he was technically 'kicked out' by management, he played at most of the shows and operated as tour manager for the first few years.

[Donney]

And he had the brilliant idea of the headline "Would you let your daughter date a Rolling Stone?"

[Norwegian Blue]

Correct, Ian Stewart it is! Over to you!
