Music trivia

The rules are simple. Keep it about bands people know. Any gender is fine. DO NOT google for answers, you know it or you don't. Lets get going

How did Jerry Lee Lewis get his nickname The Killer? I don't know this either.

Also who is the original artist of Hound Dog?

I didn't mean to have two, but I don't know if anyone will get the second one right. Good luck! ;)

I think Hound Dog was done by a black blues artist, but I can't remember who.

[Lone_Star]

I believe that it was done by Eta James. Actually I think its Big Mamma Thornton.

[Raudermaster]

Jerry Lee Lewis is known as the killer since he used to call people "killer." Like if I were to call you "dude," he just used the word "killer" and it stuck with him. I love VH1.

Here's my question: After leaving the band Metallica, Dave Mustaine had helped write a song for them that James Hetfield didn't give any credit to, so he re-worded it, kept basically the same tone and rhythm. Metallica calls it The Four Horsemen, but what does Megadeth call it? No cheating!

Who taught John Lennon to play harmonica?

[dwasson]

I think it's Mechanix.

I believe that it was done by Eta James. Actually I think its Big Mamma Thornton.

Big mamma Thornton is correct from 1953. Thanks for the info on The Killer. I wonder who will get the Lennon question because I don't know this one.

[Blackened300a]

I think it's Mechanix.

Indeed,

Why was Dave Mustaine Thrown out of Metallica? and what band did he form.

Finish this line by Steve Marriott. "I don't need no ...."

[Paul T. Casey]

Jerry Lee Lewis, aka the Killer, shot his wife. That may have something to do with the name.

[dwasson]

He also shot up the gate at Graceland.

[Motorhead350]

I heard he also shot his bass player on accident.

[mr.continental]

I heard it was because he was hanging out with O.J.

[CRUZTAKER]

To make things a bit more streamlined...may I suggest that if you choose to answer a question, that you also quote the original question.;)

Tough questions so far....
