Every week, on a friday, I play Rockit on ABC Island in Secondlife, and I end up with a lot of scripts with a lot of interesting questions at the end of each show which will most likely just sit on my hard drive forever.
Well, I decided to do a mock-up of the real thing, and put it on my blog for non SL users to try, granted it won't be as much fun, but will still rack your brains as some of the later questions get very tough indeed.
The Music you'll be quizzed on is generally Pop and Rock from the 1950's to 1995,
Don't worry, most of the questions are based on music which is played on FM radio all the time... and I do give clues via this very blog, so perhaps dig around first and watch a few videos before playing.
I suggest you write down your answers.
Best of luck.
Wolfie!

Hi Everyone and Welcome to the only live music gameshow on Secondlife.
My Name is Wolfie Rankin and I'm your host tonight.
Playing Rockit is very easy, First of all We'll play an Audience round where I'll ask some fairly easy music questions, and if you think you know the answer, Just shout it out and if you're right, Just walk up here and take a seat on the panel.
And when We have two teams of four players, We can begin the real game.
So, Do Ya wanna play..... Rockit?
Here We go.
1. Q- What does the "L" in ELO stand for?
2. Q- Kiss'Peter Criss wears makeup portraying which creature?
3. Q- Which Aussie group was headed by Angry Anderson?
4. Q- No sex, no fun, no wine, no women, no fun, no sin, no you, no wonder it's dark" Is a line from which song?

6. Q- Which Swiss group had a hit with "Oh Yeah"?
7. Q- Which 70's rocker declared "I hate the music"?

* At this point there would be eight people sitting up front, two teams of four players.
And now that We have our teams, we can move onto our first round.
It's called "Local and/or General" after a song by Models.
It's a general music questions round, and a bit harder than the first set of questions.
* At this point, all correct answers are worth five points, so write down your answers and check them in the comments section later.
