i only got 15, but my mom says im cool.

[Blackieshamps]

got 17, some of em were real lucky guesses.

[OrganicNugz]

....a dirty dozen.

[jocelyn]

Got 19 right and pretty pissed it wasn\'t 20 because on number 23 I just had two of the songs reversed. (I had a, e, c, d, b as opposed to a, e, d, c, b.) So close. Well, getting 20 right would have probably made me question a few things anyhow...

[Drew_Kingsley]

21 correct.  I got all of the questions right that I assume Wolfman didn\'t have to look up, plus a lucky guess or two.  Hell, if the band working together didn\'t get all 25, what chance does a youngster have?

[boombox]

18... none incorrect until #16.

Must be something to do with not being a true SHTAVENITE - got exactly the same and it all went pear shaped for me after question 16.

[Wolfman]

I voted 22 but I think i really got a 16. Do the questions with multiple answers count as just one correct?

Yup, and you gotta nail it to get the point.  Sorry all you kids going to cheap colleges who expect "partial credit."   Close only counts in horeshoes and hand grenades.

Don\'t sweat it, not even the band members could get a 25 last night.  Freddie had us on the edge of our seats as he cruised through 21 straight correct answers (skipping some questions) including a couple of the doozies.  However, it came apart for him at the end and I think he missed 3 of the last 4.  Still a very impressive showing.

[Jim Cobb]

22!  but some of them were lucky guesses.

[Klout]

well you made a hell of a quizz if even freddy got 3 wrong

[skalnbyc]

23.  I was in cruise control for almost all of the questions.  I didn\'t know how many shows the band had played, but made a reasonable estimation and guessed correctly.  Same for the question asking to rank the most-played venues.  I ranked them by thinking about their historical occurences (I\'ve been looking at setlists and show dates for 6 years now - since Nov. \'99).  Much easier to track shows than it is to track how many times Beef Barley and See the Light have been played. I guessed correctly on how many NYE shows were played, though I really had to rack my brain.

The two I got wrong were the rankings of most frequently played songs (I think I only had one song in the correct place) and the last line of Mooboo\'s.  I sang it to myself a few times before selecting the wrong answer, though I thought I had that one.  

Otherwise, I thought most of the questions were a sinch.  I figured more of the questions would be obscure trivia (like how many hours did Ron go missing on his bike at a festival in 2002? or who was the drunk chick who showed up with Paul Ryan to FF1 that ended up dating a band member?)

[freddiewaht]

i couldnt remember ho wmany 12/31 shows theyve played(i wonder why?)
i couldnt remember the lit question and
putting the songs in order from most played was tough as nails..

[Klout]

yea i agree on that. they are all songs that are played a lot with the exception of see the light

[davepeck]

or who was the drunk chick who showed up with Paul Ryan to FF1 that ended up dating marrying a band member?)

Oh Al, that\'s so funny that it\'s silly.
The followup on that story is, nikki worked with deblock, regean and myself. We all went down together. Nikki got all upset because I told her they covered the dead, and right when she was telling me this they went into scarlet. Then she decided she was going to go dance on stage with the band... during super secret song inside. I begged her to wait till the next song, but no such luck. The rest was history.

[Wolfman]

Question #23 (the songs most played question) is very, very tough.  There\'s a pretty good gap from the first song to the second and from the second to the third, but from 3>4 and from 4>5 the difference is only about 10-20 plays.  Ron got the first three but then flipped the last two, and when I told him he was off by 1 he  made the right correction.  That\'s as close as anyone in the band came.  I made #19 (which song debuted first) a lot easier than it could have been.  The correct answer is a solid year and a half before any of the other answers.  Also, I set it up so that if you think about the discography of the 5 songs, it will lead to you to the right answer.  I stayed away from really obscure events that only a couple people would have any clue about and instead focused on the songs and the shows so that everyone could have a crack at each question and so it would be more educational.
