"Unleashed" was released in 1978 and is a single-length album.

4. How many albums did Van Halen release during David Lee Roth's first tenure with the band?

Answer: 6

The albums are "Van Halen I", "Van Halen II", "Women and Children First", "Diver Down", "Fair Warning", and "1984".

5. What is the name of Queensryche's first full-length album?

Answer: The Warning

"The Warning" was released in 1984. Their first release (in 1983) was a four-song "mini-LP" that has had extra tracks added to it for release on CD.

6. Which unlikely celebrity appears in the Ratt video "Round and Round"?

Answer: Milton Berle

OK, Ratt is a "semi-hair band", but they didn't start out that way!

7. What was the name of the Iron Maiden tour from which they recorded and released "Live After Death"?

Answer: World Slavery Tour

This was the tour in which they promoted the "Powerslave" album. The original CD release of "Live After Death" is missing almost 30 minutes of the album (vs. the LP and cassette) in order to keep it as a single CD. It was later released as a double CD.

8. Who played guitar on the Ozzy Osbourne albums "Bark at the Moon" and "The Ultimate Sin?"

Answer: Jake E. Lee

Jake went on to form Badlands upon leaving Ozzy after those two albums.

9. Twisted Sister made two music videos ("I Wanna Rock" and "We're Not Gonna Take It") in which movie character Douglas C. Neidermeyer made a cameo appearance. What movie was this character from?

Answer: Animal House

I never understood the character in the videos until I finally saw "Animal House", about 5 years after I first saw the Twisted Sister videos!

10. Which band released the album "Tooth and Nail"?

Answer: Dokken

This is the album that gave us "Alone Again" and "Into the Fire."
