Ready for Quiz #12?

You know it!

Quiz Rules/Format
(Same as last year, feel free to skip to the quiz if you know the rules already)

Your Task: Name the mystery Artist, ideally with as few clues as possible.

Correctly guess the artist on the first clue? 500 points.

After scrolling down to the second clue? 400 points.

Still don’t know after the fifth clue? 0 points, but a crisp high-five for participating.

I’ll use google translate to put the correct answer at the bottom in Arabic (if you read Arabic, that’s fantastic, but no cheating by reading ahead!) and you can translate it back to the language of your choice to confirm your answer.

In the comments, please enter your POINTS earned (not the artist name) and I’ll keep track of the running totals in a spreadsheet.

In addition to eternal bragging rights, the winner at the end of the year may even get something as prestigious as a digital certificate.

Here goes!

,

300 points…………………When in doubt, a clue with an accent aigus: Tré Cool is the drummer of this punk rock band (and Tré also performed their famous/infamous 1994 secret track, All By Myself, all by himself)

.

.

.

.

200 points…………………Speaking of Le Français, because the adjective in the band name does not fit under ‘BAGS’ (Beauty, Age, Goodness, Size), it would follow the noun, thus making the band name, en Français, Jour Vert

100 points………………..The artist is G____ D___
