Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Slade did this song first, then it was covered by Quiet Riot.

Answer: Cum On Feel The Noise

As you may or may not know, Quiet Riot tried to capture lightning in a bottle twice by doing another Slade cover, "Mama Weer All Crazee Now".

2. This all time classic by Jefferson Airplane was updated and rocked out by Waysted.

Answer: Somebody To Love

The guitar gymnastics of Ronnie Kayfield and the gritty vocals of Fin shined on this incredible version of a true rock classic.

3. How about a three-fer? Rough Cutt and Sammy Hagar both put their spin on this rock classic by Janis Joplin.

Answer: Piece Of My Heart

"Black Widow" was a song from Rough Cutt's first album and "I Can't Drive 55" was pure Sammy Hagar...although Janis probably didn't care for driving 55 either!

4. Southern rock meets L.A. Metal. Armored Saint put their stamp on this classic Lynyrd Skynyrd tune.

Answer: Saturday Night Special

Armored Saint, for my money, was the best band to come out of L.A. during the 80's metal renaissance.
