Hi ProgShred :)

#13  Deep Purple

Hi ProgShred...let's try with...

#1. Jimi was doing quite a bit of work as a jobbing guitarist around this time, but I'm certain he fell in with the Isley Brothers' band, so I'll have a stab at them...

#6. UFO

#13. Rainbow (which I think at the time was known as Ritchie Blackmore's Rainbow)

#22. Thin Lizzy (his classic 'Parisienne Walkways' with Phil was recorded the same year...)

#47. Pink Floyd (before they became the corporate rock monster...)

Hiya ProgShed - great quiz!

#6 Scorpions (I think he was still in this band in 1977)
#10 Judas Priest
#17 Blue Oyster Cult
#24 The Runaways  ;D  ;D !! (I was a big fan of The Runaways in 1976)
#45 The Pretenders

I think I may be giving away my metal heritage with these answers....

Hi ProgShed. :)  Great quiz. Tougher than it looks. Alot of the ones I knew right away have been answered but 2 of my favorites have not.
#12 Steve Vai- Believe he was with David Lee Roth then.
#50 Joe Satriani- I think that he went on tour with Mick Jagger & the Stones

:) I don't know how I missed this one....#44 Matt "Guitar" Murphy was with the Blues Brothers Band in 1978.

I don't think I saw it in anyone else's answer

35. Steve Marriott was with Humble Pie in 1970.

46. John Petrucci - Dream Theater
29. Akira Takasaki - Loudness

8.could it be Frehley's Comet ? right

2. Ozzy Osbourne and Quiet Riot
21. Thin Lizzy
43. The Crusaders

Pandora,

#12 Steve Vai- Believe he was with David Lee Roth then. right
#50 Joe Satriani- I think that he went on tour with Mick Jagger & the Stones wrong
#44 Matt "Guitar" Murphy was with the Blues Brothers Band in 1978. right


OK...then my answer for #50 is Greg Kihn. 

Prog Shred, your information on Dave Mustaine is incorrect. He couldn't have been in Metallica in 1980, because Metallica wasn't formed until 1981, and Mustaine didn't join until early 1982. He was, however, in a band called Panic in 1980. That was going to be my answer, in fact. :)

2.  Quiet Riot
16.  Megadeth
38.  The B-52's
48.  Pantera

2. Ozzy Osbourne and Quiet Riot
21. Thin Lizzy
43. The Crusaders


Indy Gent,
2. Ozzy Osbourne and Quiet Riot wrong I could give you half credit for this one. Ozzy was still with Sabbath in 78.
21. Thin Lizzy right
43. The Crusaders right - I was hoping someone would say Steely Dan. (The Royal Scam)

OK...then my answer for #50 is Greg Kihn. 


Pandora,
#50 is Greg Kihn. right

Powerslave, you're right. I wasn't sure of the year and did a quick reference check on what I thought was a credible website.

Great job!  :)

2.  Quiet Riot
16. Megadeth
38. The B-52's
48. Pantera


2.  Quiet Riot right
16.  Megadeth right
38.  The B-52's right
48.  Pantera wrong

Was there another band he was in or was he was just in Quiet Riot? If he was, then he was either in Status Quo or Velvet Fox. :-\\


Indy Gent,
2. Ozzy Osbourne and Quiet Riot wrong I could give you half credit for this one. Ozzy was still with Sabbath in 78.

Was there another band he was in or was he was just in Quiet Riot? If he was, then he was either in Status Quo or Velvet Fox. :-\\



Randy Rhoads was in Quiet Riot before joining Ozzy in 1980. He was in no other bands.

Was there another band he was in or was he was just in Quiet Riot? If he was, then he was either in Status Quo or Velvet Fox. :-\\


Status Quo was friends of Kevin Debrow. One of the guys in that band came up with the name Quiet Riot. I don't know anything about Velvet Fox.
