..got nuthin' clever to say here, so I'll hook y'all up with the songs:
- Song 191: Poison - Unskinny Bop. Plus some whammy shenanigans to start the track off right. Off of their "Flesh&Blood" album, this is one of their biggest hits. Incidentally, "Flesh&Blood" was the last album with the original line-up before they kicked out CC Deville and hired first Ritchie Kotzen (most known from his work with Billy Idol), resulting in the "Native Tongue" album, following which they fired Kotzen and brought in über-overrated guitar "prodigy" Blues Saraceno. Whatever - "Unskinny Bop" is a kick-ass party tune.
- Song 192: Guns'N'Roses - One In A Million. The song off of "Lies" wherein Axl all but pledges his allegiance to the Knights of the Ku Klux Klan. One definition of "ironic" might be the mother of all freeloaders, who was yet to contribute ANYTHING to society as of the writing of this song, going off about how black people, immigrants, police and the gay community do nothing but tax the country's limited resources. A suitable definition for "coward" might also be found in the fact that Slash did little by way of complaining about the attitude towards black people that his bandmate Axl inserted into the lyrics and made Slash support by playing each and every night mid-gig.
- Song 193: Aerosmith - Walk This Way. Run DMC/Aerosmith would also be an acceptable answer, seeing as how this version was possibly an even bigger hit.
- Song 194: Roxette - The Look. I thought that this would be one of the easiest songs to find within the realm of this quiz, but y'all sure proved me wrong there...
- Song 195: Metallica - Nothing Else Matters. The guitar solo and nothing else. In my opinion, this is one of Metallica's best solos, and ironically, it's not played by Kirk "Overrated" Hammet, but by Jimbo Hetfield.
The
Score for Round 3 goes a li'l bit like this:
- Sondre (8 points)
- Cathy (6 points)
- Anders/Marius/Pigeon (4 points)
- ...
- ...
- Torbjørn (2 points)
The Total Score now looks like this:
- Sondre (20 points)
- Pigeon (16 points)
- Anders/Cathy (14 points)
- ...
- Torbjørn (13 points)
- Marius (10 points)
Congrats to Sondre who kicked ass and took names this time around, and good luck with Round 4!

..third!
I keep tellin' ya; you ain't seen nuthin' yet
you ain't seen nuthin' yet
...b-b-b-baby
And now I'm feeling better
'Cause I found out for sure
She took me to her doctor
And he told me I was cured
You ain't seen noting yet.
etc
...mmmh. Can't remember seeing this on the quiz, though.
but y'all sure proved me wrong there...
...except for the blog's resident golden quiz boy?
...make that "bronze" quiz boy...
:-D
Some comments:
Poison - Unskinny Bop
Knew this where some 80's shait/wuzz/hairmetal or something, but couldn't pinpoint it. Have to admit I've heard the tune, though.
Guns'N'Roses - One In A Million
Never heard this song, but I'm not G'n'R fan. As far as overrated rockbands, G'n'R are at the top. And I still stand by my statement that every G'n'R tune sounds the same (coming from a guy that likes blues, that says something!). Big, fat 0 for me on this one.
Aerosmith - Walk This Way
Don't really dig this song, but the Run DMC/Aerosmith video is way cool. Or at least it was, maybe it's a bit outdated now. Easy one.
Roxette - The Look
Had to give this a couple of listens before I recognized it. If I remember correctly, the guitar only plays the riff in the intro/ chrous in the original, so that threw me off a bit initially.
Metallica - Nothing Else Matters
A classic, I have to admit, even though I think Metallica is right up there with G'n'R as overrated goes. Didn't recognize it, what can I say, I never got past the intro on this tune? :-D
Anyway, congrats to Sondre and the usuall nah-nah-nah-nah, big L, to T-bear.
:-D

..'cause you probably heard some cover band just like mine tweak this tune at one of the bars in K-town...

..throw in Zeppelin, Nightwish and A7F and we've got a deal

..lolz..ya think?

I played the solo with octaves on a single guitar rather than doubling it up, Wes Montgomery style. No further comparisons warranted, just thought you'd like to know. Or...you oughta' know, right Anders?

...to this day, I can play the guitar solo to this one blindfolded, if need be. 'Cause in the early to mid nineties, this was in demand like a mofo

:-D
I really diserved that one. I honestly cannot believe that I didn't get at least 8 points this round!
...I must admit that I was surprised that you didn't rock the hizzouse more in this round, T-bombz
