And the correct answers (in case you missed one or two) are:
1. Buck Dharma provided the vocals for “Burnin’ for You,” stepping in for the usual lead, Eric Bloom. His involvement helped shape the track’s distinctive sound within Blue Öyster Cult’s album.
2. Tom Werman produced “Red Hot,” imbuing it with the energetic and raw sound typical of Mötley Crüe’s early work. This track appears on their 1983 album, “Shout at the Devil.”
3. Korn’s song “Chi” was inspired by Chi Cheng, the late bassist of Deftones. Cheng’s friendship with the band and his musical influence led to the song’s creation.
4. At the Fuzz Club in Athens, Jello Biafra performed “Holiday in Cambodia,” originally by Dead Kennedys. The song remains a staple in Biafra’s live shows.
5. Evanescence’s E-Werk concert in Cologne is notable as the last live performance featuring Ben Moody. It marked the end of an era for the band’s original lineup.
