Random trivia

[Albie]

I'm not sure if this is such a major threat to this device*, but we all know that the flight of birds inspired planes. Now, the safety of planes from mechanical and human failure is pretty much minimal nowadays - but a flock of birds can cause a plane to come down.


*A quick Google search suggests that this is becoming more and more of a problem.

Well done Albie. I am afraid my previous post gave away too much, but you already found out that a living thing could be the inspiration!

One of the oldest human dreams, the ability to fly. 
Flight of Icarus.

Don't look this one up, but guess!

Which famous British female singer is 8 days older than Bruce Dickinson?
She was the first female singer who had a no. 1 UK single with her own composition.

 

[LooseCannon]

Kate Bush.

 

[Forostar]

Correct. I assume the 2nd piece of info was more helpful than the first.

I was so surprised that they were born so close from each other (in time), that I wanted to make a trivia question about it.

 

[Perun]

If he wouldn't have a song about it, I wouldn't even know the year Bruce was born in...

 

[LooseCannon]

Correct. I assume the 2nd piece of info was more helpful than the first.

Indeed. I wouldn't have known it from the Bruce birthday bit.

I don't see any unanswered questions,so can I ask one? Is so, then what is the only song Megadeth recorded as a 3piece? If not, just ignore this post.

 

[LooseCannon]

Yep, anytime there's an unanswered question, anyone can ask. And I have no idea. PS welcome.

 

[Metalheadlady]

Well, thank you for welcoming me.

i know this one.... I believe it was a stump the trunk question on That Metal Show. Was it These Boots?

 

[Night Prowler]

It was a cover of an Alice Cooper song - No More Mr. Nice Guy.

 

[Metalheadlady]

It was no more mr. Nice guy, but that metal show is how I learned it, so I'm giving you a little credit. The other got it right, though.

 

[Metalheadlady]

Ok, not something most would know, but I do, so I'll ask it. What are the circumstances of Randy Rhoads's birth? (city, state, day, month, year, and if possible, the hospital, to make it a little harder) don't call me a stalker, i just know some random stuff.

 

[national acrobat]

That is very random trivia (unless his birth is particularly remarkable for some reason I don't know). I could tell you a few things about his death though.

 

[Mosh]

i'm not sure if anyone here could answer that without googling.
EDIT: Well I just did and there isn't anything spectacular about his birth. However a hint is that his birthday wouldn't have been too long ago.

 

[Metalheadlady]

Anyone here have a copy of Off the Rails, Rudy Sarzo's book? If you do, I'm pretty sure the answer is in there.

 

[Metalheadlady]

Well, no ones tried it in a while, want the answer?

 

[Night Prowler]

Yes
