I think there was a few people considdered, but I'm guessing the answer you're looking for is Patty Smyth.

Which guitarist makes an appearance on Black Sabbath's Headless Cross on the song "When Death Calls"? I think that's the song anyway.

I got one... everybody can play except Manny cuz I know he already knows the answer to this one. Laughing

Anthrax's "Inside Out" video from the VOLUME 8: THE THREAT IS REAL album was inspired by the classic "Twilight Zone" episode "Nightmare at 20,000 Feet" starring William Shatner (a.k.a. "the one with the monster on the airplane wing," which was re-made starring John Lithgow in "Twilight Zone: The Movie").

What other hard rock band did a video based on the same "Zone" episode a decade prior to Anthrax, and for which song?

A few hints: the band was never much more than a brief blip on the '80s radar and they are not still around today, but one of their ex-members has been playing in a very prominent band for quite a few years now.

DING DING DING DING! Time's up.

Sorry, guys, you don't get to trade what you have for what's behind Door #3. But we do have some lovely parting gifts for you, including the home version of our game and a year's supply of Rice-A-Roni, the San Francisco Treat!!

But seriously folks.... the other video inspired by that "Twilight Zone" episode was Black-N-Blue's "Miss Mystery," from '85.

BNB guitarist Tommy Thayer, of course, is now portraying Space Ace in KISS.

Woot! I guess that makes it my turn to ask a question... I'll be back as soon as I think of somethin'.

*EDIT* OK, I got one... probably too easy but what the hell... in the late 90s, Sebastian Bach of Skid Row fame appeared on Broadway in the title role of what musical?
