1.) How did Guns N Roses come up with their name?

2.) The cult movie "Heavy Metal Parking Lot" was filmed in the mid 80's in the parking lot outside of a concert. Who were the 2 bands playing that night? Bonus points if you can name the venue and where it's located.

3.) The bands Holland and Hammer both recorded albums on the Ebony label in the mid 80's, what do they have in common?

4.) What band was Marty Friedman in that was named after a American state?

5.) Before joining KISS Peter Criss recorded an album with another band, what was the name of that band?

6.) The UK band Girl released 2 albums in the early 80's. Two of the band members went on to bigger well known bands, who were they and who were the bands?

That's right, Phil Collen! I should have known that!!!! I remember that now!

Yep you're spot on about Seduce, their song in the doco was Crash Landing and they were from Detroit. "I have long hair, but fuck I'm a businessman!"

Have you ever seen the movie, Hawk? Funny as shit! Bunch of under age drunk metalheads making fools of themselves.

Dokken and Judas Priest. It was filmed at the Cap Center in Washington D.C. ... I was at the show! :) I'm not one of the drunks in the movie though.

3.) The bands Holland and Hammer both recorded albums on the Ebony label in the mid 80's, what do they have in common?

They are the same band. They released the first album as Holland, but before the second release they found out about the US band called Holland (plus they had a bit of a sound change) so they changed names.

4.) What band was Marty Friedman in that was named after a American state?

Hawaii
