NTN Encore Question of February 28th, 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/METLCA, and Phil PLBAAB.
My game so far had gone like this: TuneUp...ROCKET...5000/5000...1st/6...my two co-win round with COSMO and PLBAAB with 5000. .............LITBOX...5000/5000...1st/6...no real guessing this week. OnBeat...ROCKET...12000/14000...2nd/6...PLBAAB wins round with 8 out of 9. ............LITBOX...12000/14000...2nd/6...I go 7 right and 2 wrong in this round. Jukebox...ROCKET...15389/20000...4th/6...COSMO wins round. ............LITBOX...15368/20000...5th/6...I had a terrible round this week. Not even half the questions right although I got to pick what I wanted. Triviaoke...ROCKET...19580/28000...3rd/6...PLBAAB wins round. .............LITBOX...19539/28000...4th/6...I take at least three -250s this round but still almost made 20000.
Now the Encore question comes up. I don't really remember thinking about what this question would be about just getting Rob and Phil to put aside fiddling around with an HD TV that was beside us playing the hockey game and concentrate on the upcoming question. There's one band I've never heard of so this could be tough.
Encore Question:...Drummer Dave Grohl has recorded songs with all these bands except:

I read the question wrong or I could have made it a lot easier for our group. I read it as 'played' in the band rather than 'recorded' with them. Oh well...first to go I knew he was in the bands Nirvana and Foo Fighters. I could believe he would be friends with Queens of the Stone Age to sit in with them. Scream I'd never heard of but Blind Faith didn't really belong because it was one album supergroup at the end of the 1960s with Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker (and Steve Winwood and Rick Grech). Now the band Cream reformed for a few concerts last year which meant Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker were back for that reunion and I had seen Dave Grohl a few weeks ago playing drums when Paul McCartney sang at the Grammys so it was possible but I said to the guys it was Cream that had reformed not Blind Faith and to go with that answer. OK.
Correct Answer:....5. Blind Faith
[NTN Extra Fact:...Dave has also recorded with Nine Inch Nails and Tenacious D.]
I'm right and stay in 3rd as ROCKET at 29370. I finish 77th in all North America. The bar is 14th in North America with a 29934 average...I earn 3000+ points for making this week's 18000 standard. Phil wins as PLBAAB with 32091.
(ntn.com dropped us down to 15th out of 1992 bars).
Here's how the rest of the bar did: Player preEncore Final Rank ntn.com rank PLBAAB 21394 32091 30 77 COSMO 20552 30828 51 117 ROCKET 19580 29370 77 166 LITBOX 19539 29308 78 171 METLCA 18717 28075 107 241 CHATZ 16586 x 8293 1799 2293 (ntn.com listed 9677 players)
