Heavy Metal Quiz Live: To The Bones

Welcome to the Heavy Metal Quiz Live! Today we're putting the test to Bolton four-piece To The Bones, whose QOTSA style riffery has attracted the saliva of Artrocker Radio over the last few weeks.

We should confess that, when we say it's a Live quiz, what we mean is that it was... er... live, when we did it this morning. The quiz was conducted over Skype though (as you can tell from our high quality studio-lit images) and Artrocker.TV can therefore verify that the band did not cheat. As far as we know.

Welcome to the Heavy Metal Quiz Live! Be very afraid.

"Let's roll!"

Metallicas's 1983 debut album was called what?
a) Kill Em All
b) Master of Puppets
c) Kill the Puppetmaster

"I think b)...."
"It's b), Master of Puppets."

That is incorrect. The answer is a) Kill Em All.

"Ohhhh shit."

Ozzy Osbourne was fired from Black Sabbath in 1979. Was it because...
a) He attacked bassist Geezer Butler with a cricket bat?
b) He was drinking too much?
c) He missed a headline gig because he was asleep?

"We saw a documentary on him the other night... I'm going to say c)."
"No, no it's definitely b)."
"Ahhh for God's sake. OK, b)."

That is correct! You have scored one out of two so far.

AC/CD's Angus Young famously wears a school uniform outfit. Which costume did he try before hitting on this idea though?
a) a Dracula costume?
b) a mankini?
c) a gorilla suit?

"Right OK. He wouldn't have worn a mankini."
"No, no."
"He wouldn't wear a gorilla suit."
"I think he would!"
"Hmmm. Ok, let's say the gorilla suit."

That is correct! Ok...

How many women has Lemmy of Motorhead slept with, according to official estimates?
a) 1,200
b) 3
c) 6,000

"F*cking 'ell. 6,000 is a lot of shagging. It's gotta be 1,200."

Correct again! You're doing well team, three out of four.

Henry Rollin's birth name is what?
a) Henry Jones
b) Henry Marmaduke
c) Henry Garfield

"Shall we say Jones?"
"I want it to be Garfield."
"But you would keep your name as Garfield if your name was Garfield. Garfield's a great name."
"That's a good point. We're to going to hazard with a), Jones."

That is incorrect!

"ARRRGHHHH!"

Vinnie Vincent of KISS used to write incidental music for a popular TV show in the US. But which show was it?
a) Bewitched?
b) Happy Days?
c) MASH?

"We're going to go with MASH please sir."

I'm afraid it was Happy Days.

"Ahh no way!"
"Ok we're not doing too good - we need to pick this up."
"Did Alice Cooper write the theme tune?"
"No, that was Fonz's band."
"Was Fonz in a band? What were they called?"
"I think they were just called 'Fonz's Band'".
"That's not very imaginative."

It's the lyrics round - here we go. Complete the lyric from 'Smoke On The Water': They burned down the gamblin' house / It died with an awful...
a) smell
b) sound
c) puff of smoke?

"I don't know this."
"Sound."
"Sound?"

That is correct! OK, Complete the lyric from 'Whote Lotta Love; "you've been coolin' and baby I've been...'
a) Schooling
b) Foolin'
c) Droolin'

"Hmmmmm."
"Schoolin'?"
"Baby I've been Schoolin'... that sounds about right!"

The answer is 'Droolin'. You're not doing too well now, you're on four out of seven.

"Sh*t!"

But there is still time to make things right.... here is the final question. Complete the Rage Against the Machine lyrics for 'Killing in the Name of'; Those who died / are justified /
for wearing the...
a) cross
b) clothes
c) badge?

"a) Cross!"
"Cross!"
"Cross!"

I'm afraid it is c) badge.

"Aaaahhh nooooo! [band attempt to hide from computer camera]"

You cannot hide your shame I'm afraid, you cannot hide your shame.

"We should have got the Rage Against the Machine and Led Zep questions right..."
"Maybe our nerves got to us?!"
"Was that the trial run? Can we do the proper quiz now?"
