Encore Question of March 20, 1999
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York.
Answers:
I have the lead tonight thanks to winning the OnBeat and Triviaoke rounds and pulling into the lead. I'm playing with BERGIE and we're feeding answers to KAZ. LEAFAN and TREV were helping in earlier games but didn't play this one.
My game so far had gone like this:
TuneUp.....4500/5000...4th/16 (huge tie for 4th)...BROTH,MOLSON,JARVIS win round.
OnBeat.....9000/14000...1st/16...I win round with a 5 right, 2 wrong, 2 not answered.
JukeBox.....12556/20000...2nd/16...LESTAT wins round, MOLSON in lead with 13013.
Triviaoke....18458/28000...1st/15...LESTAT wins round.
I put the maximum 50% points on the line for the Encore question. I should know all about these five guys but they're so common what could they ask? Bon Jovi, GunsN'Roses, Motley Crue, Nirvana, Smashing Pumpkins, ok I'm ready. I'm don't know what the Players Plus standard is for this game.
Question:...Which rock star was married in green flannel pyjamas at a 1992 cliff side ceremony?
Possibly any of these guys would do something like this. I guess Axl Rose as I know he was married to one of the Everly Brothers daughters for a short time but what would have been the date? Maybe year's before this. But...Axl Rose looked very well dressed in the wedding scene of the November Rain video...Hmm. Tommy Lee-Pamela Anderson? The date didn't seem right either. I didn't think Billy Corgan was married or maybe even liked girls but pyjamas would make him look the last few years like Zippy The Pinhead. Kurt Cobain's wedding would be good to but I thought it was earlier than this because of their child's age. BERGIE thought it was Kurt Cobain because of 'cliff side ceremony' sounded like Seattle but I sounded positive enough to talk him out of it. Only exotic setting I could think of was Madonna-Sean Penn with swear words spelled on the beach to scare off helicopters. Time's up...
Correct Answer:...4 Kurt Cobain.
extra comment: His bride Courtney Love wore a dress that belonged to Hollywood star Francis Farmer.
I'm wrong and fall to 5th place with 9229 points. I finish 6336rd in North America and earn only 1500+ Players Plus points. That was enough for me to pass the 750000 points to 750300 and switch me from a Red to a Purple Plus sign but not the way I wanted to earn it. The bar is 590th as only four people were right and the earlier rounds were quite tough in all rounds after TuneUp. A right answer would have got me into the Top 100 because of the low individual scores elsewhere.
Here's how the rest of the bar did:
