The Quiz Thread

[Billy Underdog]

Instead of having threads for each topic or ways to play games like we've done before, i thought we could just put all quiz', trivia-games, "which _____ is this" and so forth in the same topic.

As always, this is easily googled, but it's more fun for everyone (most of all yourself) if you try without it.

If you don't wanna play, but still got some good questions brewing, bring 'em on.

Here we go!

Having recently watched the Back To The Future triology again made me think about this two-part question:

Who was originally considered to play Marty McFly instead of Michael J. Fox?

And, as a great part of the first movie was shot with this first actor, the "stunt double" for the skateboard scenes was someone more resembling him (hight, colour of hair etc), and the end result was that it's VERY apparent it's not Fox on that board. Who was the stunt double?

Before his infamous stint as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and later as the bassist for Hawkwind and Motörhead, the guitarist Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister played with The Rockin' Vickers/Vicars.
They had a gimmick of dressing in the traditional costume of an indigenous people of Europe.
Which people is that, and in which country(ies) do they live?

What experimental rock band is Penn Jillette (of Penn & Teller) one of many rumoured to once having played in?

Not only do I know that answer, but there's also fun to be had in looking over the list of people considered for the role of Doc. Albert Brooks is my favorite "could have been" and I can easily imagine his pained delivery as he tries to explain to Marty how he can't know anything about the future.

"Marrrtyyy... I've told you this before! You can't tell me about the future, you just can't!"

What kind of music does David Johansen aka Buster Poindexter enjoy performing the most?

I know the Dolls liked to do blues covers so I'll say R&B?

It's funny to muse, but i'm very glad it ended up with Christopher Lloyd. Back To The Future ARE those crazy eyes.

What kind of music does David Johansen aka Buster Poindexter enjoy performing the most?

I know he's very passionate about 50's Rock N' Roll, so i'm going for that.

^^In the meantime while we wait for the correct answer...

Ozzy' has always been synonymous with the peace sign throughout his career but I have seen him throw the devil horns before or Dio horns as I like to refer to them as... Can someone provide photographic/video evidence of Ozzy throwing the horns on at least two different occasions? 

Feel free to google away

That would have been Eric Stoltz...although the question is flawed...Michael J Fox had the role for Marty locked in but there was some family issue that forced him to leave the production if memory serves me right and then Eric Stoltz was cast but Fox was able to return.

Or if you were referring to the David Johansen question I have no idea who that even is...


As for your question...I do recall Ozzy throwing the horns few times during The Osbournes....

Correct about Stoltz. I guess we're both a bit flawed, as the script was written with Fox in mind, but the family issues that tied him up from shooting the film was the TV-series Family Ties...
Now, for the second part of the question; Fox was a competent skateboarder, Stoltz wasn't, so who was the skateboarder doing those scenes? As they were already shot when Fox came aboard, it would blow the budget if they were to reshoot those scenes, hence we ended up with someone who's clarly not Fox. I could give some hints, but that might make it too easy...

As for David Johansen, you should really check out New York Dolls.

About the "devil horns", i don't remember seing Ozzy ever doing them. That does ofcourse not mean i haven't seen it, it just means i don't remember. But i remember several pics of Geezer doing it back in the 70's, one in particular where he's standing on a balcony (which i couldn't find right now), and this one, along with Lennon back in the 60's, also not the only time a Beatle is shown doing it.

So another question; which infamous Beatles myth are those incidents related to?

[Jack the Stripper]

I want photographic or video evidence of Ozzy not Geezer or anyone else. Its definitely out there in Google land 

[Billy Underdog]

I want photographic or video evidence of Ozzy not Geezer or anyone else.

You got it anyway...

Found this with Ozzy from the 80's...

Haha love it, you googled Ozzy giving devil horns 

I was aware of that particular one and will give you that but there is two much better examples of Ozzy throwing not just a single handed horns but doubled handed horns \m/ \m/

Well I did remember it had something to do with family!

About the skateboarder...I have no idea but Tony Hawk comes to mind...as he is the only skateboarder I know.
