Classic Rock Clue Game II

Uh oh, only 3 were guessed right. I think it's time for another second chance round.

Over a century away. (+3 to Wasted, +2 to mckindog, Black Thunder, cfh)
#356. Rush, "2112"

Like a virgin. (+2 to mckindog, +1 to cfh)
#352. Foreigner, "Feels Like The First Time"

Dancing in the trenches. (+3 to cfh)
#351. The Ramones, "Blitzkrieg Bop"

cfh - 102
mckindog - 64
nush - 53
Shadow - 17
Albie - 16
Unknown One - 7
Forostar - 4
Wasted - 3.5
Black Thunder - 2

Points reduced on the second try, but you get a hint.
#359 and #353 points are not reduced, the clues are still a bit hard.


#360. "Shit" or "kicks"? (1) Down in the city.
#359. Forrest Gump. (1) Nothing to do with running.
#358. Key West. (0.5) C'mon now. What artist is associated with Key West?
#357. Opposite words. (0.5) I can't make this clue any easier.
#355. Fighting rock. (2) The clue is a reference to the album title. Now guess the right song.
#354. After 2 deaths in the family. (2) Band history and album title.
#353. Watching a live performance. (4) As in, "watching a live performace" is the subject of the lyrics. Particularly the third verse.
 
Damn, I was pretty sure about Forrest Gump. The main thing I remember from that movie is that song, and it definitely deserves a spot on this list.
 
#355. Fighting rock. (I'm going with cfh's logic but a different song) New Years Day - U2
#359. Forrest Gump (here, I'm going for a song from the soundtrack of the movie - and how his mother saw him, perhaps? I'm guessing as I've never seen the film) Fortunate Son - Creedence Clearwater Revival
#353. Watching a live performance. (4) (no idea, but...) Whiplash - Metallica (fits the bill somewhat ;))
 
#357.  Opposite words. - Hello Goodbye
#353. Watching a live performance. - I'm going to keep guessing Karn Evil 9 until I get it right
 
See most of these already there, but what the hell...


359 Simple Man — Skynyrd
358. Margaritaville — Jimmy Buffett
357. Beatles — Hello Goodbye
355. Rock The Casbah — The Clash.
354. That Smell — Skynyrd.
353. Juke Box Hero — Foreigner

Are you sure that wasn't a 12-string bass?  A Hamer, to be exact?  :innocent: 
Almost guessed that song, too, but ruled it out because of the 8 vs. 12.
