Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which band had Chuck Panozzo as a member along with his brother?

Answer: Styx

Styx was a band that brought us arena rock, based on straight-forward riffs and somewhat catchy lyrics. They also did some sentimental songs, which was not really to the liking of hard rock fans. Chuck Panozzo played bass, his brother John played drums.

2. Another musical brother pair: Toy and Tommy Caldwell. Which band did they form with singer Doug Gray?

Answer: Marshall Tucker Band

The Marshall Tucker Band was mainly about country rock combined with a lot of jamming. Toy Caldwell played guitar in a rather bluesy style. Tommy Caldwell was a rather unexceptional bass player.

3. Jorma Kaukonen brought a rather psychedelic sound to his guitar and which band?

Answer: Jefferson Airplane

Jorma Kaukonen was the guitarist and most of the psychedelic sound of Jefferson Airplane. After he left the remaining band had to be renamed to Jefferson Starship and their sound changed tremendously.

4. In 1984, Rick Allen lost an arm, but he proved nothing can stop rock and roll. In which of these bands did he continue to play anyway?

Answer: Def Leppard

He is often referred to as the Thunder God.

5. Joe Lynn Turner has been in several bands over the years. He was the singer of one of these, but which one?

Answer: Deep Purple

He only recorded one album with them and was fired afterwards because the audience didn't like the idea of having Ian Gillan replaced.

8. Steve Harris is a bass guitarist, but which band does he belong to?

Answer: Iron Maiden
