Rock Music History

God Was Never on Your Side is a song by Motorhead from their 2006 album Kiss of Death. The title reflects Motorhead's characteristic cynical and rebellious attitude toward organized religion.

I'll Be There for You is a song by Megadeth from their 1992 album Countdown to Extinction. Despite the title sounding like a ballad, it's actually a thrash metal track with complex riffing.

'Fear of the Dark' is a famous heavy metal song released by Iron Maiden in 1992 on their album of the same name. The song became one of the band's signature tracks and remains popular in their live performances. None of the other artists listed (Judas Priest, Metallica, Nirvana) have a song with this title.

The modern classical guitar as we know it today was developed by Gaetano Vinaccia in Naples, Italy around the 1800s. While string instruments have ancient origins in Mesopotamia, the six-string guitar design is attributed to the Vinaccia family of luthiers. The name 'guitar' comes from the Spanish word 'guitarra'.

'Austin 3:16' refers to Stone Cold Steve Austin. This catchphrase originated after his 1996 King of the Ring victory, where he mocked Jake Roberts' religious persona by saying 'Austin 3:16 says I just whipped your ass!' This became a defining moment of the Attitude Era.

Les Paul did invent 'The Log' in 1940, widely considered the first solid body electric guitar. While Les Paul is famous for many things, the 1940 invention was indeed created in Mahwah, New Jersey where he lived and maintained a studio for many years. The other options (Hoboken, Paramus, Waldwick) are all New Jersey cities but not connected to this invention.

The Troggs originally recorded 'Love is all around' in 1967, achieving their own hit with it. Wet Wet Wet's 1994 cover version for 'Four Weddings and a Funeral' achieved massive commercial success, overshadowing the original.

'National Express' is a song by The Divine Comedy (Neil Hannon's band), released in 1998. The lyrics quoted are from this upbeat pop song. The Byrds, Linkin Park, and Bob Dylan (note: misspelled as 'Dylon') are not associated with this track.

'Green is the Colour' is a song by Pink Floyd from their 1969 album 'More.' It's a psychedelic track typical of their early period. The Beatles, AC/DC, and Megadeth are not associated with this composition.

'Bohemian Rhapsody' is one of Queen's most famous songs, written by Freddie Mercury and released in 1975 on the album 'A Night at the Opera.' It's a six-minute suite combining rock, ballad, and opera elements. Metallica, Megadeth, and Nirvana are influential rock/metal bands but did not compose this song.

"Where Did You Sleep Last Night" is a traditional American folk song that Nirvana covered famously during their MTV Unplugged in New York performance in 1993. The song was originally written by Huddie "Lead Belly" Ledbetter in the 1940s, but Nirvana's cover is the most well-known version in rock context. Queen, Creed, and Scorpions never recorded this song.

"Learning to Fly" was composed and performed by Pink Floyd, released on their 1987 album A Momentary Lapse of Reason. This was the first album after Roger Waters' departure from the band, written primarily by David Gilmour and Anthony Moore. The Yardbirds, Beatles, and Beach Boys are all influential bands but not associated with this specific song.

"Rape Me" was composed by Kurt Cobain and performed by Nirvana, appearing on their 1993 album In Utero. The song was written as a critique of rape and violence, with Cobain specifically addressing the misinterpretation of his earlier song "Polly". Queen, The Doors, and The Who are all legendary rock bands but not connected to this Nirvana original.
