NTN Encore Question of February 7th, 2009.
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, Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...4500/5000...1st/10...my two co-win with COSMO, METLCA, and CHATZ. .............LITBOX...4500/5000...1st/10. OnBeat...ROCKET...10500/14000...3rd/10...PLBAAB wins round with 8 for 9. ............LITBOX...10500/14000...3rd/10...I only get 6 out of 9 and was disappointed after doing quite well in the last month. Maybe I should have had one more right answer but didn't know the other two questions. Jukebox...ROCKET...16185/20000...5th/11...CHATZ wins round. ............LITBOX...16179/20000...6th/11...this round went alright with me. Triviaoke...ROCKET...22222/28000...2nd/11...ROCKET wins round. .............LITBOX...22168/28000...3rd/11...I take one -250s this round and was quite happy. Rob got me one that I wouldn't have got on my own.
Now the Encore question comes up. I know info of about half the groups. Probably something about guys in the band because the song styles are way off.
Encore Question:...Fat Mike and Eric Melvin were in the lineup when this punk band was formed in 1983.

I'm glad I concentrated on the word 'punk'. Before the answers come up I've eliminated the Little River Band and as soon as the answers come up again I can put out The Knack as certainly not being punk bands. I've got my answer as '2' hinting at my score being '22222' and being in 2nd before the final question. Rob says it's probably '4' or '5'. I don't think it's Husker Du but that still leaves me with two choices. I've never heard of '2' but know 'Suicidal Tendencies' as a real group so think I might as well go with a group I've heard of and switch to '4'. I've certainly wasted enough time and can't tell the others what I've chosen.
Correct Answer:....4. NOFX
[NTN Extra Fact:...Their first live album in 1995 was "I Heard They Suck Live".]
I'm right and stay in 2nd with ROCKET at 34189. I finish 5th in all North America. The bar is 4th in North America with a 32567 average...I earn 3000+ points for making this week's 20000 standard...COSMO wins and is 4th on the Network Top 20.
(ntn.com kept us in 4th out of 2008 bars).
We didn't all get it right but it was lucky that Ron CHATZ in another group got it correct to keep a great bar score.
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank COSMO 22520 33780 4 26 ROCKET 22222 33333 5 29 LITBOX 22168 33252 6 30 PLBAAB 21037 31555 ? 40 CHATZ 20613 20613 ? 43 METLCA 20141 x 10071 ? 1078 MRBOBO 17062 x 8531 ? 1420 MAXDOG 15124 x 7562 ? 1744 MADDOG 13860 x 6930 ? 2015 GORDO 13778 20667 ? 249 JEREMY 7367 11046 ? 932 (ntn.com listed 9084 players) My micro-recorder came to the end of its tape and cut off the individual rankings.
