Q 778: The Pride of England

This is something that happened in the year 1985, rather, one of two HUGE events in the music world dedicated to a cause(mostly in Africa at that time). It featured all the biggies.

Call this __Z__.

Now, there came this band __X___ who played for some 20 odd minutes.
Some regard this little cameo to be their crowning glory, or at least that of their front man. They started off with one of their huge hits, __Y__ but there were rules pre-set. The event did not allow

• Sound-checks.
• Playback of previously recorded pieces.

Owing to these difficulties, __Y__ couldn't be played to completion. 

So, they mixed things up and played another hugely popular song, and incidentally, the name of which inspired a crazy "female" to kick start her musical career. 

In spite of the risks of messing up existing, the band went on to steal the show.

Question 746: Heaven or Hell

Glenn Frey described the origins of the song:

The song began as a demo tape, an instrumental by Don Felder. He’d been submitting tapes and song ideas to us since he’d joined the band, always instrumentals, since he didn’t sing. But this particular demo, unlike many of the others, had room for singing. It immediately got our attention. The first working title, the name we gave it, was ‘Mexican Reggae'.

ID the song
#brownie for the band

Hint

Question 738: Fly like a butterfly

According to Jacques Levy, with whom __X__ wrote the song __Y__ about __Z__,

__X__ wasn't sure that he could write a song [about ___Z__].... He was just filled with all these feelings about __Y__. He couldn't make the first step. I think the first step was putting the song in a total storytelling mode. I don't remember whose idea it was to do that. But really, the beginning of the song is like stage directions, like what you would read in a script: 'Pistol shots ring out in a barroom night.... Here comes the story of the ___Y___.' Boom! Titles. You know, ___X___ loves movies, and he can write these movies that take place in eight to ten minutes, yet seem as full or fuller than regular movies.

(Y is the nickname of __Z__)

ID X-Z

Question 732: End of the Whorld!

Parody on?

Question 716: And there's no reason for it to

Fans would like to believe that __X__ has gone on for the past 23 years.__X__ was given its title when A interviewed B for Q magazine in 1989 [ It actually is "Q magazine"]. The relevant part of the interview was:

A: 'Tell me about this live thing. You've gone straight into this ____ again — one ____ virtually straight into the next one.'

B: 'Oh, it's all the same ____.'

A: 'It's the ______X_______?'

B: 'Yeah, yeah'.

B about __X__, wrote:

"Don't be bewildered by the _______X________ chatter. There was a _________X__________ but it ended in '91 with the departure of guitarist G. E. Smith. That one's long gone but there have been many others since then. The Money Never Runs Out ____ (fall of '91) Southern Sympathizer ____ (early '92) Why Do You Look At Me So Strangely ____ (European '92) The One Sad Cry Of Pity ____ (Australia & West Coast American '92) Outburst Of Consciousness ____ ('92) Don't Let Your Deal Go Down ____ ('93) & others too many to mention each with their own character & design."

Tell me what __X__ is.
Identify B.

Question 684: And all that jazz!

__X__ is an open source online store management system using the Django web application framework. It was initially designed as a Python based project in order to avoid some of the perceived common pitfalls and shortcomings of similar PHP based projects. The Django framework was chosen as a foundation because it provides a number of useful, robust, tested features. It is freely available under the BSD License.

Identify __X__ and connect it with the picture.

From there, he and twelve other recruits were bused to Kennedy Veterans Memorial Hospital. There, ___X__was assigned army serial number 53 310 761. After being processed and sworn in,__X___ said his good-byes and was bused with the others from Memphis to Fort Chaffee, Arkansas for further processing. There, he received his famous G.I. haircut and coined the phrase 'Hair today, gone tomorrow', in a comment to the news media. He was assigned to the Second Armored Division's 'Hell On Wheels' unit (formerly led by General George Patton) and was stationed at Fort Hood, Texas.


Inspite of the fact that there was no war, the army navy and air force vied to get __X__'s attention to join them.

Question 600: Reckless Lyrics

__X__ was the songwriter who helped ___Y___ write the lyrics to what later became his most famous song. Until then, __X__ had already written several songs for Aerosmith, but working with __Y__ was what gave him a greater share of the limelight.

__Y__ was only a boy when the year being referred in the song came around. At the age of 9, he says that he really couldn't have lived through even a quarter of what he was implying. The song was actually about sex, and not about a nostalgic look back, like __X__ still continues to maintain.

__X__ and __Y__ still amicably disagree about what the song is about. __X__ maintains it was inspired by care songs from The Beatles and Bruce Springsteen, while __Y__ still chuckles at the fact that it became the UK's favourite song in a 2009 summer poll.
