Quiz Answer Key and Fun Facts

1. Which of the following songs is made up of ALL talkies?

Answer: So Whatcha' Want

"So Whatcha' Want" by The Beastie Boys is more like a rap, despite the fact it is classified as Rock. "Chop Suey" by System of a Down is spazzy high pitched yelling and long low pitched singing. "Eye of the Tiger" by Survivor is a normal Tier 3 Vocals song, with mostly medium-high pitches. "Shackler's Revenge" is a crazy song involving a lot of high pitched screaming.

2. What is the Song "Alive" by Pearl Jam classified as?

Answer: Grunge

"Alive" is classified as Grunge like "Pretend that we're Dead" by L7, "Drain You" by Nirvana, "Man in the Box" by Alice in Chains, and "Spoonman" by Soundgarden. Alive is part of a trilogy of songs, in order, being "Alive", "Once", and then "Footsteps". It is also interesting to note that all of the grunge songs on "Rock Band 2" are from the 1990s.

3. Finish the following lyric: "The Sweeney's doing ninety 'cause _______"

Answer: They got nowhere to go.

All these lyrics are from the song "Cool for Cats" by Squeeze. This song can be challenging and tiring for new singers, as the lyrics are high pitched and fast. There are also minimum brakes, and you can only go into Overdrive about four times in the song.

Not only that, but it also has a super long percussion part. However, as soon as one gets a hold of the pitches, it is easy to get through the song.

4. Which song is played as the opening song of the game?

Answer: Hello There

"Hello There", played by Cheap Trick, is also the shortest song in the game. Ironically, the band also plays this song at the beginning of most of its concerts.

5. What is the name of the only song that is rated impossible for all instruments?

Answer: Painkiller

"Painkiller", by Judas Priest is also the last song in the Endless Setlist 2. This song is awfully long compared to most songs on "Rock Band 2", as this song is about six minutes long.

6. What do the songs "Visions" by Abnormality and "Shoulder to Plow" by Breaking Wheel NOT have in common?

Answer: They are both sung by male singers

The song "Visions" has shocked many people when they found out the singer was female. The song is mainly made up of many high pitched screams.

7. How many songs are classified as New Wave?

Answer: Three

These songs are "Cool for Cats", "Uncontrollable Urge", and "Psycho Killer" are made by The Squeeze, Devo, and Talking Heads respectively. It is also strange how the only other two New Wave songs besides Cool for Cats are tiered Impossible for the singer.

8. Which of the following songs has had the most censored lyrics?

Answer: Down with the Sickness

"Down with the Sickness" by Disturbed has many censored lyrics and is also the most censored song in the game. It is also the longest Nu-metal song in the game.

9. Which of the following songs is the hardest (tier-wise) classified as "Warm-up" for the Band?

Answer: PDA

"PDA" by Interpol is interesting, as it is tier 4 for everything but bass, and bass is tier 2. "Drain You" by Nirvana is also a little off, as everything but drums, which is tier 3, are all tier 2s. "Nine in the Afternoon" fits in, but "Almost Easy" by Avenged Sevenfold is not even classified as Warm-up.

10. Which song of the following also has some lyrics in French?

Answer: Psycho Killer

During the chorus, the singer says "Qu'est-ce que c'est" which means "What is it?" in English. The bridge lyrics are also in French. "Psycho Killer" by Talking Heads is also known to throw some singers off guard and ruin solo 5 stars with its french lyrics.
