the Gothic Trivia Game
I just thought, for some odd reason, this would be a good idea.
The rules are simple: ask a question about a gothic band, person, writer, etc. Whoever answers your question correctly gets to ask the next one
I'll start this one off with a simple one:
Where did the band Christian Death get their name?

Valor Kand. Let's see... I know this isn't really a goth band, but how many packs of cigarettes a day does Kyo of Dir en Grey smoke?

Wasnt it a parody of the `Christian Doir` fashion label (I read this somewhere) ?

"Christian Death" is a parody of "Christian Dior", the name of a local fashion designer.

The other three were on Bloodflowers, but that one was on Pornography.

Sorry Isotope: the correct answer is "e" - None of the above. He came out with "Cuts you up" long after he left Bauhaus, and was solo at the time.

Indeed. In my oppinion, Peter Murphy working solo is better than Bauhaus (with the possible exception of Kingdom's Coming)
Siouxsie's real name is Susan Janet Ballion.
Now an easy one: What's the most distinguishing thing of Eldritch these days?

He refuses to associate with the subculture although he is heralded as "the godfather of all gothdom" (unless you mean a physical trait, and in that case, I have no clue...-_-;; )
Hmmm...
Name six songs by Bauhaus that begin with the letter "S".

I also didn't ask a question. Therefore, I have broken no rules.

Honeymoon Croon (the character is Sybil Vane from a Picture of Dorian Grey). Antonin Artaud was a real man - A French playwright.
Now, my question:
Which Siouxsie and the Banshees song uses the London Undergound as an extended metaphor?

It was the song 'Circle' wasn't it?
Now for a really, really, easy one (if anyone has to Google this I'll bite their head off)
Who is the leader singer of Specimen?
