Well, Mr. Thunder, technically this is now a stumper. I'm going to give you until 5:45 to answer it. You said you know the answer.

Mr. Dante was also known as the voice for the cartoon lead singer, Archie of "The Archies". Thanks GOT, it's been a while since I stumped anyone and I was starting to get a complex! :D

To stay with the theme;
Who was the promoter who launched the Archies career?

Hint: Same as the Monkees

I'm going to pm GOT with the answer to this question since I won't be able to check back until monday. He probably knows the answer anyways.

Yes I do. My wife is a big Monkees fan.

Sorry I didn't get to the other answer, I was out to dinner.

And thanks for putting "Sugar Sugar" in my head all f'ing day as well. :D

Don Kirschner (spelling maybe off)

Stepping in for perripken, yes you are right Pan.

Don started up the Archies after the Monkees fired him.

Your go.

Sorry it took so long.....

A model was dating Brian Jones of the Stones, when Keith Richards took her to I believe Marrakesh and put everything on Brian's bill. Who was the model?

just a random guess: Twiggy?

I don't know the answer Sion, but since it's been over 24 hours since Pan checked in, We'll give it to ya. Your question.
We really need to keep this thing moving.

this is probably a repeat (and certainly is a very easy lob) but its almost 630am and Im tired and cant come up with anything else.


late 70's in S. California: local party band Mammoth hooks up with a virtuoso guitarist (and his drummer brother) and gets a demo produced by a founding member of a notorious make-up wearing hard rock act. that demo got them a record deal and the rest is history.

fill in the missing details

Van Halen

Good job Jadedfox, you're up.

Some of the missing details are that when Gene Simmons heard them play, he shopped around their demo. When he took it to Casablanca, they passed, so he went to Warner Brothers.

WB hooked them up with Ted Templeman. They still needed a singer, so Ted suggested Sammy Hagar who he had been working with in Montrose at the time.

I think everyone knows the rest of that story.

But, enough of that, quiz away JF.

Oops, sorry forgot I had to come up with a question!

This might be a repeat from elsewhere in the thread but...here goes:

Originally from Sevenoaks, England these two brothers recorded their first single in 1989 which forever changed the electronic music scene.

Few bands have a sound that is strictly unique and this duo has just that. A sound they can call their own. But they are not bound to just that. They are known for their remixes as well, including Madonna's "Bedtime Stories".

What is the band?

--jaded

Orbital?

Well done!

An excellent Bio and tons of other stuff on Orbital can be found on www.loopz.co.uk

"Multinational Cororate America is what you live in, not a democracy"


This lyric is from a cover that this band only plays live.

Cool, some newer questions from eras other than the 60's & 70's.

I was beginning to think us old farts were asking all the questions.

Since I am one of the "Old Farts"(Dude, I'm only 35!!!:mad: ) I have no idea.

and just who might you be referring to Thunder? I know, I know,
If the foo shits, wear it!

/Turns up hearing aid.

WHAT???????

I'm gonna take a hugely wild stab and say either Dead Kennedys or Bad Religion

That would be incorrect.

A hint: You have the band in which the cover was used in your sig..... Who covered it now?

I have no clue, but I am checking out Bad Religion next week and NOFX the following week. Should be 2 great shows!

--jaded

The question on the board is officially a stumper, we need the answer and a new question.

It sounds like something Serj Tankian would say, from System of a Down. Who knows...

goodbye blue sky system of a down, so easy, there were enough clues to get it but honestly i would have gotten that as soon as i heard it

GOT you have most of it right but Roth was already in the band so Tempelman didn't suggest Sammy.

Actually after Roth left/was fired depends on whose side you believe, Eddie and Sammy had the same mechanic and met and Eddie asked Sammy if he would sit in as a guest artist.

The original lineup of Van Halen is probably the greatest of any rock band. Alex very very underrated as a drummer (course Keith Moon would have been with Eddie playing guitar.) Micheal Anthony a damn good bassist and then one of the greatest if not the greatest guitarist in that generation EDDIE, and finally the frontman Jagger wished he could have been 1/2 the man of, the man Axl couldn't hold a jockstrap to, the man that defined sex, drugs and rock and roll, the greatest frontman EVER in any band................. DIAMOND DAVID LEE ROTH, it's a shame his ego got so big.

Sammy was good and the band had more hits with him and better selling records but live noone touched DLR.

PS.......... Sorry to hijack the thread but Van Halen is my 2nd favorite band behind the KINKS. And I wanted to set the record straight.

You are right, but Sammy was suggested as the lead singer BEFORE Roth joined. He was ready to leave Montrose, but chose his solo career instead.

Years later, as fate would have it, Sammy joined through the advice of his mechaninc. As you pointed out.

The details of the early days Mamoth/Van Halen are talked about in Gene's autobiography.

Very good mates!


Next!

What is the name of Maynard's first band?

I bow to your greatness GOT, I did not know that. I am not worthy.........

That's why I'm the GOD :lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

interesting. I was always under the impression that Mammoth was Roth's band at first, until Eddie and Alex joined. Turns out not to be the case. here is how AMG describes those early years:

"The brothers began a hard rock band called Mammoth and began playing around Pasadena, eventually meeting David Lee Roth. At the time, Roth, who had been raised in a wealthy Californian family, was singing in Redball Jet. Impressed by the Van Halen brothers, he joined forces with the group. Shortly afterward, bassist Michael Anthony, who was singing with Snake, became a member of Mammoth. After discovering that another band had the rights to the name Mammoth, the group decided to call themselves Van Halen in 1974, rejecting the proposed Rat Salade. For the next three years, Van Halen played throughout Pasadena, Santa Barbara, and Los Angeles, playing both clubs and hotel bars. The band's repertoire covered everything from pop and rock to disco, but they eventually worked in their own original material. Within a few years, they had become the most popular local band in Los Angeles, and Eddie became well known for his groundbreaking technique. In 1977, Kiss' Gene Simmons financed a demo recording session for Van Halen after seeing them at the Starwood Club. On the strength of Simmons' recommendation, Mo Ostin and Ted Templeman signed Van Halen to Warner Bros., releasing the band's debut the following year."

no mention of Sammy though.

Children of the Anachronistic Dynasty

TexAns

Tool

APC

yea, correct

Wasn't well know then. Templeman never made it public knowledge that he preferred Sammy over Dave. It was never an interesting side note until Sammy actually joined the group.

The way Gene made it sound in his story was that it was more of a behind-the-scene decision that even the band didn't know about. Like I said earlier, it was kind of a moot point, because Sammy wasn't interested in it at the time.

What is more interesting is that Templeman was so eager to replace Roth, but sided with him when he left the group and produced most of his solo stuff.

But enough thread-jacking. This is about trivia and it looks like iamtheone has the correct answer and is up to bat.

Sepultura's first release, "Bestial Devastation", is a split LP with fellow Brazilian band Overdose. "Bestial Devastation" only refers to the Sepultura half of the album. What is the name of Overdose's part?

Time's almost up on this one.

How about a hint?

Is the answer Morbid Visions?

This one might be a bit too hard.

The answer is Século XX.Morbid Visions was the name of their 2nd offering.

Just let my Soul Fly.
