Odd Man Out....They think it's all over. It is now!

It looks like we're all running around in the dark here as our host has posted in but still not revealed the final answer, what a tease..... Hey - how about telling us the answer mate!

:(

Chicken in a basket - casket

What are you implying Big Dipper.... that's a little cryptic... oh hang on a minute... scratch: I see what your'e getting at... :

Joy Division = dead lead singer?

is that it?? Is that the right answer? Or is it still too obvious to be the reason Mr Huberts looking for...?

ooh, that's a good one, big dipper! could we have it, ladies and gentlemen? please tell us!

neato, mr. webmaster!

and come on mr. mickle, where the hell are you, sir?

Yeah - I'm getting impatient as well - the elusive host seems to take great pleasure in teasing us.... well - this IS a teaser after all - but I think he's takeing it a bit TOO literally here tut tut, ...

COME ON! WHAT IS THE ANSWER? WE'VE BEEN HERE AGES NOW!

9 Primal Scream Flowered Up The Charlatans Faith No More ??

10 New Order Happy Mondays Joy Division Revenge ??

Revenge are shit.

(careful - this last one is a cheeky trick question!)

Have fun with all that grey matter! ;)

Don't forget yo...Peter Hooky man turned the knobs on Elephant Stone!!!

Chunks - if you bothered to check and read carefully every single answer that has been posted (like I did - and believe me it took me ages before i could start contributing to this thread!) you will find that on the first page, it has a;lready been mentioned that Peter Hook produiced the Stone Roses... ;)

I just wanna know what this last number 10 answer is cos it's buggin the hell out of me. There's a few suggestions here which may or may not be pretty close.... but I really need to know....

"chicken in a basket"?

Does that mean Joy Division were the only band whose members were ALL meat-eaters ??

Saw this thread for the first time today.

A possible (wrong, I know) answer for #10 could be that Revenge is the only single-word band name.

Dear knaas.....I almost completely forgot 'bout this one.... four months doon the line and no-one has even got the right answer yet.

And now, some people are coomin' up with some reet howlers....

Look at it like this: when I say "Chicken in a Basket" I'm referrin' to the Cabaret circuit, awreet? Y'knaa - when the band members all get back together ageen to tread the seaside pavillions an' suchlike, got that? Noo, if you cannat work it oot from THAT clue then yer really ARE a bunch of sieve-brained thickos!

which question is it no-one has got the answer to?

Question 10. Evene though its exactlly the same as question1. Does no-one not know what the answer is yet? :(

Q1: Peter hook played in 3 of the bands, but never in happy mondays.

JD won't gig again?

Yeah - that's the one that's nagging at the back of my mind too - after all, Ian's dead isn't he?

All of the other bands have survivning members.

Bloody cliffhangers.,eh?

:(

Right, another stab at reasoning. if it's not remixes than it must be something else. the reason I think it might have somethinng to do with Ian Curtis is when the phrase Chicken in a basket was mentioned, someone else suggested "casket" - so that's coffin = dead.

So Joy Division HAVE to be the odd band out because their lead singer is no longer with us - whereas the other bands (assuming they were still together) still have surviving lead singers. Hell, that sounds so bloody obvious you know i'm not even sure if even that's correct, but it was hinted that this answer is a sneaky one. So is that it then?

this thread is still going on?!??!!

Well, I only happened across it a few weeks ago but i'm damned if im going to give in just yet, cos it looks like a few possible answers are in the offing here. Do you know anything about this last one perchance?

Originally posted by Chris Nash Okay then. My pc is now fixed after 3 whole sodding weeks, so I'll have one last go at Q10.Answer: Joy DivisionReason: All the others have sort of 'split' then got back together in various guises, relying on their previous releases, connections, etc. to cover their own songs 'live'. The Chicken in a basket clue being that many 'cabaret' acts do similar things once their fame has sort of waned slightly.Plus, New Order are becoming more like a cabaret act live - note Steve Morris' 'ba-dum-chit' drum rolls whenever Barney or Hooky make some funny/clever/stoopid comment between songs...If that's not the correct answer, then I give up.

Chris - i hope youre on the right lines there, cos I had a throrough trawl through this thread when i first saw it and noticed you got the most answers right. :) Can you do the honours of clinching this last one... we've been trying for ages now to get it!

If the answer has something to do with Ian Curtis then isn't that a bit too obvious?

Not so much "chicken in a basket" as a complete red herring. :(

It's Question 10 ya greet hoit! Honestly, some people are just not payin' attention!

Close - very close! ;)

You've got the right end of the stick there Dave. :) Heck - you're pretty damned close as a matter of fact!....

Extremely commendable stab there Chris!! I'm reet impressed with ya! In fact, if I combine your answer there with the last one Dave posted there, ye've more or less clinched it....

AWREET then.......this is what it should have been:

JOY DIVISION have to be the odd band out because the other three bands would still have at their disposal all their original/surviving members (assuming Shaun Ryder doesn't cop it from his drug habit one day that is). So technically ALL THREE of those bands could still reform with all their original members intact to do the "cabaret" circuit if they so wanted to. Okay - so New Order have "ungrouped" many times before, but we're talking "theoretical" here. So, in reality, Joy Division could NEVER reform cos of the obvious fact that Ian isn't there.

Right - that's the end of the sneaky Question 10 saga solved once and for all!

AT LAST!! .... THANK FOOK FER THAT!!

Allow me to thank everyone - even the newcomers - for persevering with this bastard of a teaser (blimey - four months old it is noo!), you've all been greet sports! But special mention has to go to YOU Chris for being the smartest alec of them all! I salute yer humungously ! :\party: :\party:

And many apologies folks for not gettin' back on track earlier - I've just been kept extremely preoccupied with family duties.... our bairn Thomas is now so demandin' I've all but given up all my wakin' hours to watch over the dear little rascal.... but hey - I'm not complainin' !! ;)

so everything is answered?
