MetalSucks’ Sixth Annual Heavy Metal Hanukkah — Night 3
As I said when I posted it, there were multiple correct answers to last night’s trivia question, including:
- Harry Shearer as “Derek Smalls” in This is Spinal Tap
- Christopher Guest as “Nigel Tufnel” in This is Spinal Tap
- Adam Sandler as “Pip” in Airheads
- Jack Black as “JB” in Tenacious D in The Pick of Destiny
- Josh Gad as “Matt” in The Rocker
I also counted Joseph Gordon-Levitt in the title role of the movie Hesher, even though I don’t think his character is ever specifically identified as musician during the film.
A couple of people cited Gene Simmons and Paul Stanley as themselves in Kiss Meets the Phantom of the Park, which I counted even though it’s kinda cheating. I did NOT, however, count anyone who submitted Gene Simmons as a NON-MUSICIAN in another movie, as the question specifically asked for actors who played musicians.
So, a lot of good answers, and all these names went into a hat, and by the luck of the draw, Lauren Toivonen win. YAY LAUREN! She gets a CD and a dreidel courtesy of us nice Jewish boys here at MetalSucks.
But don’t plotz if you lost — ’cause you still have six chances to try and win! Here’s tonight’s trivia question:
True or false: there has been a Jewish musician in Metallica
