Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Which of these hair metal bands from the late 70s and early 80s brought the media attention to the LA rock scene and throughout the decade became one of the most important bands of all time?

Answer: Van Halen

With the virtuoso guitar player, Eddie Van Halen and one of the best frontmen of rock n' roll, David Lee Roth, the Diamond Dave, Van Halen created a huge base of fans in Los Angeles area even without an album released thanks to the guitar solo "Eruption" played by Eddie! Their first recording sold more than 10 million copies and it's still one of the top ten selling records of the 70's! Def Leppard are from the UK (LA is located in US...) and Mötley and Ratt became famous after Van Halen.
2. Which of these bands was the first of the style to reach the Billboard 200 number one in 1983 in the US?

Answer: Quiet Riot

The album "Metal Health" stormed up the US charts in 1983 and made Quiet Riot achieve the sudden stardom with the hits "Metal Health" and "Cum On Feel The Noize". The success wouldn't last for a long time...but they were the first metal band to reach the top!
3. They had huge success in the 70's with an unique make up style. Their shows were heavily produced (still are nowadays) with fireworks and other cool stuff. In the beginning of the 80's this band made their last gig with the unique 70's make up in the Maracana Stadium, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil and the first gig with 80's hair metal looks happened in Lisbon, Portugal. Who are they?

Answer: Kiss

In 1983 Kiss decided to leave the 70's make up and outfits aside and addopted the bandanas, hair spray and leather clothes from the hair bands that were earning space by the time. Their first debut with the new looks, "Lick It Up", featured Vinnie Vincent, a new guitar player. Until 1996, Kiss stayed without make up, and this period was called the Unmasked Era.
4. This song was one of the first ballads ever made in hair metal style, issued in 1985 by a band that in the beginning of the decade was considered to being Satanic based on the title of one of their albums. Which song am I talking about?

Answer: Home Sweet Home

A great ballad played by Mötley Crüe that appears on "Theatre Of Pain", their 1985 release. This song was an effort to make the Mötley sound more accessible.
Due to the romantic themes and the high visual appealing, the mid 80's hair metal bands were topping easily the charts. The mid 80's saw the rise of the hard rock ballads from bands such as Poison, Cinderella, Britny Fox and, of course, Bon Jovi.
None of these songs belongs to 'satanic' bands. "Love Walks In" is a 1986 ballad from Van Halen; "I'd Die For You" appears on Bon Jovi's "Slippery When Wet"; and "Heaven Tonight" is a 1988 Yngwie Malmsteen's ballad.
5. Which famous hair metal persona began a solo career with virtuoso guitar player Steve Vai and bass player Billy Sheehan after leaving his band?

Answer: David Lee Roth

In 1985, still leading the Van Halen vocals, Diamond Dave released a four-track EP called "Crazy From The Heat". But in 1986, already out of Van Halen, Lee Roth issued "Eat 'Em And Smile". This album put his solo career on the road to success with the tunes "Yankee Rose" and "Goin' Crazy".
Sammy Hagar was the guy that entered in Van Halen after David; Jeff Scott Soto was playing with Yngwie Malmsteen by the time; and David Coverdale didn't got out of his band, Whitesnake, during the 80's.

Answer: Hunger

"Ready To Strike" and "Take It Off" belongs to King Kobra and "Heavy Metal Shuffle" belongs to Kick Axe, but never got covered.
7. Winger covered a classic rock song from the 60's. What's the name of this song?

Answer: Purple Haze

8. What are the two differences between the European and the American versions of the Whitesnake's blockbuster album issued in 1987?

Answer: The track order and two more songs in the European version

9. Which Guns N' Roses' songs talks about the same location?

Answer: Welcome To The Jungle & Paradise City

10. What was the name of the first single that Steve Stevens, former Billy Idol guitar player by the time, issued with his band in 1989?

Answer: Atomic Playboys

"Action" was actually the second single and "Power Of Suggestion" appears on the "Ace Ventura: Pet Detective" soundtrack. But both were in the 1989 realese too. "Rebel Yell" is the 1983 hit that Stevens co-written when he was still playing with Billy Idol.
