Comments
Woo-hoo! Hard questions though...I'm still glad I wasn't at any Rammstein concerts. I don't think it is right that they lit the dancefloor on fire underneath their audience. Aren't there fire codes or something?

well rammstein had alot of trouble with fire codes for the first little while. then they got big enough to have roadies. i think most of the guys in the band now have the top fire safety/ pyrotechinics training and licensing you can get short of being a fire fighter.

I'm just glad to get a solid 2nd place on this one. I have no idea about most of the stuff you asked and I was only able to overhear one of the answers in a conversation that was had a few days before (I am listening).

i was outta town and wanted to mention a couple alternate answers.
jello biafra also sang in lard.
it should be noted that sinead also did a collaboration with moby. it may have been one of the better songs on the album 18 because 18 was mostly rehashed play-style songs without the groundbreaking originality play had in it's time(as minimalistic as it was).
Dave Grohl also played drums for the soundtrack to Backbeat and played drums for Jack Black's band Tenacious D.
honestly matt, that would have been a really tough quiz. eesh. i am glad i was out of town and disqualified before i even had a chance.
