NTN Encore Question of June 10th, 2006.
Played at The Frog & Firkin in North York Ontario.
Answers:
Tonight I'm playing with two boards as ROCKET and LITBOX with Rob COSMO, Sean METLCA, and Phil PLBAAB. This will be my last time playing for a month so I want to go out on a good note.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...4th/8...METLCA, COSMO, and LITBOX co-win round.. ..........LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/8. I split one, had one guess right and got help on one I didn't know. OnBeat...ROCKET...13500/14000...4th/8...our five boards win round. ..........LITBOX...14000/14000...1st/8. 9 right and 0 wrong was great. Whatta team! Phil gets us two, Sean has one, and Rob has one on questions I would have missed. JukeBox...ROCKET...16987/20000...5th/8...PLBAAB wins round. ...........LITBOX...17496/20000...4th/8. I miss both Shania Twain questions and one of two Marilyn Manson to have about the worst round in this category for many months. Triviaoke...ROCKET...23803/28000...5th/8...METLCA wins round and takes lead. .........LITBOX...24314/28000...4th/8. I don't take any -250s this round but have one question where one of my boards scores '5' and the other '14' because of a last second switch.

Now the Encore answers come up. Band names. They're not all metal bands. "The Kinks had the first heavy metal song...well that's what they say". That still doesn't let Spandau Ballet be included with these other names.
Encore Question:...Their celebratory brand of hard rock is heard on songs like "Finish What Ya Started":

Easy. This must be my favourite song of all time! I tell the others I know it but ask if they know. Rob asks me. "Van Halen". Sean says he knew it. Phil says "You mean Van Hagar?" Yep it was Sammy Hagar singing this song. We're all in and we talk about how good our score will be. Yeah. I have a good score although I trailed them from the third round.
Correct Answer:....2. Van Halen
[NTN Extra Fact:..."Baby come on" sings the band on this track from OU812.]
I'm right and stay at 4th as LITBOX. I finish 9th in all North America. The bar is 3rd in North America with a 37087 average. I earn 3000+ points for making this week's standard of 21000 points. Sean wins and is 3rd on the Network Top 20 and 1st on this bar's Hall of Fame Top 10 for best scores in the last year. [ntn.com kept us in 3rd place out of 1943 bars].
I remember my favourite rendition was a dance remix I taped from the radio many years ago. Are the quiz writers reading my web page? What a great way to finish when I know I won't be playing for a month.

The next two weeks I expect to be watching soccer games. Nope not the World Cup but the local soccer league. Then three weeks from now which will be Canada Day, I'll be near here but watching the concert and fireworks at the old North York city hall. So back playing July 8th? I'll really limp through the OnBeat round that week.
