Ready for Quiz #3?

That makes me Happy!

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!

Record POINTS Earned (Not Artist Name) in the comments

For:

500 points………………..British Guitarist/Songwriter/Occaisional lead vocalist, born in Dartford in 1943.

His solo studio albums include the titles Talk is Cheap (1988) and Main Offender (1992) & he released his memoir, Life, in 2010.

.

.

.

400 points……………….With his usual group, he doesn’t usually provide lead vocals.

But when he does, such as on tracks like Happy, Before They Make Me Run, or You Got the Silver, one wonders why he doesn’t sing more often…

.

.

.

.

.

300 points……………………Though seeing that over the years, he’s come up with the riffs for Satisfaction / Gimme Shelter / Paint it Black / etc., primarily focusing on the guitar has worked out reasonably well too!

.

.

.

.

.

200 points………………..According to Wayne’s World 2 (and undoubtedly countless other memes suggesting that he’ll outlive us all), Mick Jagger’s songwriting partner cannot be killed by conventional weapons!

.
