MP takes another Prog Quiz

http://www.roadrunnerrecords.co.uk/dreamtheater/planetrock/

These are so fun to watch, thanks for posting this Wey.

Looks like Mike enjoys these pleasant breaks from non-stop interviews.

...and even if it takes a lifetime to learn,
I'll learn.

"Stump the Portnoy" like "Stump the Trunk" on "That Metal Show"

Although the people who stumped Mike don't get to pick from a box of prog cds and dvds that a hot girl is holding, do they?

MP has a killer memory...

"The Lost Voyager" Music project: http://www.myspace.com/thelostvoyager

I think I knew 2 of those questions. Old school prog is not in my music confines.

"I'm in a glass case of emotion."

This was pretty badass, considering people can just look up whatever obscure factoid on their own before asking MP.

Hans... Christian Anderson?

yeah i would have gotten one...

LOL. I don't I would've known any of that haha. Great stuff mother f^%$^ers. :D

MP needs to do Jeopardy against Steven Wilson and Damon Fox.
That would be fucking epic.

I had maybe two or three. If i was lucky.

Haha, I love watching these things.  Real good fun.

Hi, my name is Jon but you may call me Frank and I am an alcoholic.

I got one, and maybe could have gotten another one with a few more seconds.

I was doing it along with him, I got a 9 out of 15. 

I got most of the ones he got wrong, but I didn't know the Camel question that he got the half point on, but I knew the track from Genesis' first album, the guitarist from Gentle Giant and Alan White's solo album.

Pretty cool impromptu quiz.

I'm pretty sure someone will beat 9 out of 15. The Porcupine Tree question was probably a gimme, but I'm not a fan.

hahaha "motherfuckers", "hans... Christian Anderson"!
Mike, you are the man!

The headless lover of three...
an unspeakable affair...

I got one. I should have got the king crimson one but I misread the question (thought it said name five tracks). Those were f'n tough!

Edit: And I was already listening to Voyage 34 directly before I saw this, and I still got that one wrong! Ha!

Wait...now I'm confused...

aprogblog.wordpress.com
My prog blog. I promise it will be better next time.

 I would've got the Chester Thompson, Aimee Mann, Silent Sun, Clapton, Star and The VDGG track in Porcupine Tree questions. Portnoy did incredibly on this!


..... "mother.... fuckers....."

Wow... that was a tough quiz.

"Whatever you're looking for, don't ever start looking behind."

12/15. I actually had no idea there was a VDGG sample on Voyage 34.  But then, I've never listened to it much.

I really love these! I hope they do more... I'd be happy to see any musician, prog or otherwise, give these a whirl. It's all good fun.

I got a better score then Mike's hahaha
ok ok ...

Quick to judge,
Quick to anger,
Slow to understand

The quote in Voyage 34 is not from Van der Graaf Generator but from Pink Floyd (Run Like Hell).

At least if they are talking about the part that I'm thinking...

Although I do indeed know my Prog, I am even more of a master of classic rock/classic metal trivia...(listen to any of the metal summits I've done on Eddie Trunk's radio show)
 
Jordan posted a cool clip on youtube of me challenging Damon Fox to Beatles trivia (I crushed him ) and after one of the PN09 shows in Italy, me and Mikael Akerfeldt went at it for almost an hour with Metal trivia outside by the buses (with several fans watching the whole thing - didnt anybody film it?)
 
I told Roadrunner, next time I do one of these, I want to do either Metal trivia or even more fun, DT Trivia!!! (which I have a feeling NOBODY would beat me at!)

I was actually quite surprised with the Beatles trivia.
You do know the beetles history Mike.

Carpe Diem !

hahaahhaa  MP vs any fan on DT knowledge. and if  u beat him... free tickets to a show?|||||||

I can't be in two bands at once. Tom Petty tried that with The Heartbreakers and The Wilburys. Nearly killed the fucking guy...

Do not understimate the power of the geekiness of your fanbase Mike...


:p


I can actually picture it:

MP: Yeah after I caught a ton of mice to get into berklee I introduced the secret cowbel to the guys in 84, and they're impressed

DTgeek0618: No Mike actually you did that in '83

DT trivia would be so cool! And MP would beat everyone...

7.5/15? Thought you'd do better Mikey ;)

By the way, I had none of 'em right :D

 I got 2/15 yesterday.  Truly pathetic.

WAIT, WHICH ONE!?!?!?

I think with the information Rich Wilson has gathered for the books, he would be a good challenger. I would also add Setlist Scotty as well.

Portnoy did incredibly on this!

Not really. But I gotta say, that was one tough-ass quiz.

Why don't we try it? How about a DT Trivia contest where anybody who can beat you wins the ultimate DT Prize of their choice (within reason)?

I did horribly, but was surprised that I got one that MP missed (Gentle Giant guitarist).

There is NO disputing ANY of that.....
 I'd love a challenge of Metal/Classic Rock Trivia, as well.   

I just recently acquired the Beatles version of Trivial Pursuit...... 
I only WISH I had the opportunity to challenge MP in a game of that.  Hey, I'd be fair. It's still shrink wrapped.....

Where was Jordan and his iphone???
We NEED to see this!

  Information is not knowledge. Knowledge is not wisdom. Wisdom is not truth. Truth is not beauty. Beauty is not love. Love is not music. Music is the best.

I only got 6 out of 15.

That was hilarious! I didn't bother to keep score, but I'm sure I would have sucked on that quiz!

I never submitted the whole system of my opinions to the creed of any party of men whatever in religion, in philosophy, in politics, or in anything else where I was capable of thinking for myself. Such an addiction is the last degradation of a free and moral agent.

Agreed! I'd love to see that. MP's metal round table discussions on Eddie Trunk's show are my favorite aspect of it. Him and Jericho and Eddie furiously spitting out as much arcane metal knowledge as quickly as they can, often talking all at once about obscure bands like Demon. I love it. Would be great for Akerfeldt to be a part of one of those!
