Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Name the Def Leppard album containing the song "Stagefright."

Answer: Pyromania

The best Def Leppard album to date, in my opinion, and the album that put this band in the spotlight.

2. This 80s band was discovered by Gene Simmons and produced the single "I Just Want to be Loved."

Answer: House of Lords

They have released four albums. Their second album is Sahara, their third album is Demons Down.

3. This band recorded a cover of "Ballroom Blitz."

Answer: Krokus

The album's most popular single was "Ballroom Blitz."

4. This was Poison's first single.

Answer: Cry Tough

"Talk Dirty to Me" was their first big hit, but "Cry Tough" was their debut single.

5. Who recorded the album "Blow My Fuse"?

Answer: Kix

These guys had a few albums released, this one achieving the most success.

6. What was the last album David Lee Roth recorded with Van Halen in the 80s?

Answer: 1984

I still think Van Halen put out their best music with Dave.

7. What band recorded the album "Invasion of Your Privacy"?

Answer: Ratt

This band released several albums. "Invasion of your Privacy" was not the most popular; their debut release gave them the most success.

8. This band made the classic video which featured a teacher asking a boy "What are you going to do with your life?" He received the reply "I wanna rock!"

Answer: Twisted Sister

This video concept has been satirized and re-created many times over. Even Micheal Jackson's video for "Black or White" did a take on this one.

9. What band recorded the song "Hot Love", the video for which featured them singing at a race track?

Answer: Twisted Sister

This was Twisted Sister minus the makeup. This effort wasn't nearly as successful as their previous recording.

10. What was the first video Kiss appeared in without their makeup?

Answer: Lick It Up

"Heaven's on Fire" was from the second album without their makeup, "Crazy Nights" the third, and "Deuce" was still in the makeup days.
