ExiledInIllinois Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 I can't think of the name Davy Jones without the word: "locker" attached to it. Anyway... RIP. What is Marsha gonna do now!
Wacka Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 He's the reason David Bowie is David Bowie. Bowie's real name is David Jones.
PaattMaann Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 He's the reason David Bowie is David Bowie. Bowie's real name is David Jones. came in here to say this haha Bowie first was recording as Davey Jones - but then he got signed by a diff. company who said he couldnt use Davey Jones anymore b/c of Davy Jones....so he went with Bowie b/c of Bowie knife and he liked how it made one think of a weapon (like Mick Jagger made him think of a dangerous dagger)
SageAgainstTheMachine Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 But I already told all the girls at school I was booking him for prom!!

Jauronimo Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 What a shame. Davey and The Monkees were a major influence on many of the huge acts to follow like the Beatles.
BUFFALOKIE Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 That's what you get for jumping on the bed.
IDBillzFan Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 That's what you get for jumping on the bed. Now that's just funny as hell.
ExiledInIllinois Posted February 29, 2012 Posted February 29, 2012 (edited) What a shame. Davey and The Monkees were a major influence on many of the huge acts to follow like the Beatles. Huh? Maybe I am mistaken, but the Beatles came first... It was the Monkees that were molded by the Beatles. Edited February 29, 2012 by ExiledInIllinois
CowgirlsFan Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Huh? Maybe I am mistaken, but the Beatles came first... It was the Monkees that were molded by the Beatles. Beatles did come first .
Chef Jim Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Huh? Maybe I am mistaken, but the Beatles came first... It was the Monkees that were molded by the Beatles. Maybe you're mistaken?? Ummm the Beatles were several years before the Monkees. You damn post baby boomers.
Rico Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Beatles did come first . Yeah but the Monkees TV show > Beatles cartoon show. Very funny stuff, loved it when I was a kid, may he R.I.P.
Rob's House Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 I loved the Monkees youtube.com/watch?v=nU615FaODCg I did too. I still pop in their greatest hits cd once in a while.
ExiledInIllinois Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 Maybe you're mistaken?? Ummm the Beatles were several years before the Monkees. You damn post baby boomers. I was being nice. I know they were dead wrong. Sheeesh!
Buftex Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 (edited) I was being nice. I know they were dead wrong. Sheeesh! I think Juarnimo was pulling your leg...he is quite the jokester! Kind of the ieatcrayonz for the new generation. They bordered on light-weight, but "Steppin' Stone" is one of the great garage-pop tunes of all time! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y08ingivLdQ&feature=related Edited March 1, 2012 by Buftex

Buftex Posted March 1, 2012 Posted March 1, 2012 You do realize they did not write nor record that song right? Well...I know they didn't write it (Tommy Boyce & Bobby Hart wrote it), but "they" recorded it as much as they recorded any other song. I am sure the music was played by a bunch of session guys...Mike Nesmith was the only one who was a musician, when they were cast as the Monkees. I am pretty sure, if nothing else, Mickey Dolenz is singing the vocal. It is likely much like that with most of their records. For all intents and purposes, it was the Monkees....and it was a great single.
