Hello,

I am really into this game for the PS3 called Buzz Quizz TV. It is a standard quiz game but has tools that the community can use to make 8 question quizes that anyone in the world can play. I have already made an Easy, Medium, and Hard quiz and I am now tring to design a "Very Hard" quiz. This is where the Message Pit comes in.

I am looking for possible questions to include in quiz.

Remember that these have to be very difficult questions, the kinds of things that only hardcore fans might know.

I'll go ahead and post the "hard" level questions as an example of how difficult I am shooting for these "very hard" questions to be:

1.) This band recorded a version of rearviewmirror for the Immortality single.
Answer: The Frogs.

2.) Promo copies of Ten had this written on the sleeve.
Answer: Reeenk Roink

3.) Jeff Ament based Sweet Lew on an experience with what basketball player?
Answer: KAREEM ABDUL-JABBAR

4.) How many different studio versions of 'U' have been released?
Answer: 2

5.) This drummer played with the band for a few songs in Brisbane in 1995.
Answer: Dave Grohl

6.) Which of these songs has PJ never performed live?
Answer: Hold On (wrong answers: angel, no way, cortez the killer)

7.) Which of the following is not an instrumental track from Touring Band 2K?
Answer: the one that's not thunderclap, foldback, or harmony

8.) Who directed Single video Theory?
Answer: Mark Pellington


Thanks for your time and patience,
Tauran

    What was Pearl Jam's original name? Mookie Blaylock... not sure if that's very hard... but I hope that's a help?

    LOL, you could be right. Never thought about it that way. I guess it's open to interpretation.

    I don't wanna be a dick, but I think one of the questions on your "hard" level is wrong.

    According to the PJ website, the band has played Hold On 8 times live.

    The PJ website is wrong. That's not the same "Hold On" from Lost Dogs. The "Hold On" that Pearl Jam has performed live is a cover song.

    How dare you declare the PJ website is wrong!

    The website and Ten Club know all! No one must ever question their authority!
