Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts
1. Judas Priest have taken a lot of criticism over their 48-year career, and have been accused of being Satanic by some. However, the title track to "Painkiller" is a great example of what the band is really all about. This song is about the total and final destruction of all evil, and is just as far from "Satanic" as it gets.
One of the verses of this song states "Through boiling clouds of thunder, blasting bolts of steel....______ ______ _____ _______ ________." What words finish this verse?
2. Anthrax are one of the hardest and loudest metal bands in the world, and a lot of their lyrics are quite aggressive as well. Many of their songs, however, embrace the principle of brotherhood and people of different cultures coming together for a higher purpose, rather than fighting and hating each other. The song "Indians" is a great example.
As one verse points out, "Territory - it's just the body of a nation, the people that inhabit it make its configuration, Prejudice - ________ ___ ___ ___ ___ ________, 'cause a flag of many colors is what this land is all about." Can you guess which words go in the blanks on this one?
3. What would a heavy metal quiz be without Black Sabbath in the mix? Here's another metal band with tons of critics who really have no idea what they are criticizing.
I'm sure many of these critics would likely be a little surprised to know that in the song "Children of the Grave", the band tries to point out to the youth of the world to "Show the world that ____ ___ _____ _____, you must be brave..." What are the missing lyrics to these lines?
4. Testament have released a lot of music that was rather dark and focused on the occult and death, but what about life - or more precisely, the preservation of life? Even a band like Testament is not beyond sending out this kind of positive message to their fans, as they demonstrate in a song titled "Sins of Omission."
Part of this song declares "False sense of pride, satisfies, _____ ___ ______ ___ _______, use your mind and hope to find, find the meaning of existence." What do you feel might be the missing words here?
5. On the lighter side of heavy metal, White Lion certainly aren't known for their brutal, relentless assault on the eardrums. They are still classified as heavy metal nonetheless. These guys created one particular song that has to have one of the most noteworthy messages in the whole history of metal.
The song is titled "When the Children Cry" and part of this beautiful masterpiece states "Little child, you must show the way to a better day for all the young, 'cause you were born for the world to see ____ ___ ___ ___ ____ ____ ____ ___ _____."
6. Like a lot of other metal bands, Iron Maiden are no strangers to being accused of being Satanists. Many of their lyrics are on the darker side, yes, but that is the very nature of heavy metal to begin with.
One Maiden song that stands out in contrast to the darker side is a tune called "Wasted Years" and offers a chorus that goes "So understand, don't waste your time always searching for those wasted years. Face up, make your stand, and realize ______ ______ ___ ___ ______ _____." What words finish out this verse?
7. Yes, Ted Nugent is one maniac rock and roller with nicknames like "Terrible Ted" and "Atrocious Theodocious" as well, but is he really a bad person? People believe in a lot of strange things, and in a song called "Lady Luck" Ted lets us know of two things he doesn't believe in and one thing that he does when he sings "___ _____ _______ ___ _____ _____, I don't believe in black cats, I just believe in my own damn self - you know that's where it's at." What phrase do you figure fits the first part of this verse?
8. It's not just about the devil and the sex and the violence - don't forget about the drugs! If we want to grow our hair long and play the kind of guitars that have to be plugged into an electrical outlet, then we must have all the drugs in town, right?
Pat Travers let the world know what his favorite drug was in a tune called "Life in London" when he boldly stated "You know that ______ has always been the drug for me." What do you suppose it is that Pat gets off on the most?
9. You've got to love those crazy Anthrax guys. They did a song in 1989 called "H8 Red" which is just a witty way of saying "hatred". However, the song didn't glorify hatred, it very much spoke out against it.
One verse proudly tells the world "You may not know this, we may be different, _________ ___ _____, different and free." What was left out of this one?
10. Since they are the Alpha and the Omega of heavy metal, I began with Judas Priest and I shall end with them. Very few songs define the true nature of the Priest Beast more than "One Shot at Glory."
