Grand Funk Railroad
- Banda sonora
Grand Funk Railroad is an American trio band formed in 1969, and named
after the Grand Trunk Western Railroad in Michigan. The founding
members were Mark Farner, Don Brewer, and Mel Schacher. They were precursors
of heavy metal and were promoted as "the loudest rock and roll band in
the world" in the early 1970's. In 1970 they had sold more albums than
any other American band. In 1971, Grand Funk Railroad set the record at
Shea Stadium, selling out in just 71 hours, breaking the previous
record by The Beatles. That record still stands today.
Reunited in 1996, the band did three "Bosnian benefit concerts" in 1997, and released a benefit album called 'Bosnia'. Since 2000 the Grand Funk Railroad are using the nickname "The American Band" with the touring line-up: Max Carl-vocals, Don Brewer-drums, Bruce Kulick-guitars, Mel Schacher-bass, and Timothy Cashion-keyboards.
