Trivia: Who’s on Skins

By Dan on Feb 6, 2009 in Trivia

Behind every great band is a great drummer. These aren’t necessarily great drummers or great bands, but some are and they should be recognizable to you. Guess who’s been hiding behind the kit for all these many years.

I want the name of the band, not the name of the drummer, although you can throw that in if you’d like.

As always, play fair and chump-free. Your answers will be held in the moderation queue until everyone has had a chance to play. (Johann, submit your answers, dammit.)

  7. Fine, Dan. I expect not to be singled out and ridiculed as the person with the least right answers, or the least answers period…

    I TOLD you I’m horrible at these things.

    1. Led Zeppelin (John Bonham)
    8. The Partridge Family (Chris Partridge… I don’t remember the actor’s real name, and I’m too lazy to Google it)
    10. Fleetwood Mac; the Mick Fleetwood Band (Mick Fleetwood)

    That’s the best I can do; I’m sorry. You couldn’t pick drummers I’d actually recognize, like Neil Peart, Alex Van Halen, John Panozzo, Steve Smith, Kenny Aronoff, Stewart Copeland, Alan Gratzer, Gina Schock, Myron Grombacher, Animal… could you?! (I’ll poop if one of these I listed were in the quiz…)

    NOW do you know why I like reading your trivia posts but never enter them?! ;)

    1) Foghat
    2) The Go-Gos
    3) The Banana Splits
    4) My Morning Jacket (although it looks ’70s, I have no idea who it is)
    5) The White Stripes
    6) Sarah Borges and the Broken Singles (best guess)
    7) Red Hot Chili Peppers (and Chad Smith so looks like Will Ferrell in every single photo now)
    8) The Partridge Family
    9) The Doobie Brothers
    10) Fleetwood Mac

    Bonus question: Dick Cavett
