I got 2-3 hundred Albums in cardboard boxes in my garage. I wonder if they are worth anything now that I am so old?

That depends on whether there are many fans of the Bee Gees, Neil Sedaka and the Carpenters out there!?

I'm a fan.

Yup they were put togethor as actors, not muscians. Although they could play the instruments, they weren't that good. It was scandelous when it got out that during thier concerts, a back up band was performing and the monkees were just faking it.

Davey Jones, I understand made quite a bit of money investing in music video productiosn. (Remember how each episode, featured a music vidoe? Davey saw the potential of this medium and was set when MTV took off)

Micky Dolenz does ALOT of voice over and cartoon work. (Remember Arthur from the Tick?")

Nesmith's mom invented liquid paper. So he was all set, but also made some money in movie production/directing.

Peter Tork blew through all his money, and got Busted several times for Pot.  (I heard he's now delivering spas for a nut case in CO).

I don't even know why I care, but they seriously had a back-up band performing?  I thought I read that at their first concert they were proud of the fact that they were playing their instruments and that it had been confirmed?

I did not think Nesmith would put up with that.

That's what I had heard, however, I can't find any reference to suppport this. I think I was wrong...However, I think I may have found the source of the rumor, and folks interested in inane triva:

They were all muscisicans (although not great, and Dolenz was a guitar player who learned to play the drums for the show), they could play thier insturments.  However for the first 2 albums they used studio muscians, this caused a stir. (although many bands do this).  

During concerts, they played thier instruments, but during solo parts of the concert, when only one monkee was on stage, Studio muscians backed up the solo perfomance, this was done openly.  Perhaps its this that supported my incorrect rumor?

On later albums, the monkees did play thier own instruments.

Other useless info I came up with with trying to figure this out:

Paul Williams and Stephen Stills both auditioned for parts in the show as Monkees.

Despite Widespread rumors,  Charles Manson NEVER auditioned for the show. (urban legend)

Jimmy Hendrix was the opening act for the Monkees American Tour.  He stoped touring with them when he got tired of the crowd chanting "We want the Monkees, we want the Monkees. Hendrix flipped him the bird and walked off stage.

Dean Jeffries created the Monkeemobile from two 1966 Pontiac GTO's.  (no, he's not the same guy who did the Batmoblethat was Geroge Barris).  Dean Jeffriesalso  did do the moon buggy in Diamonds are Forever,  The Manta on Hardcastle and Mcormick and Black Beauty (The green hornets car, with assits from Barris).

 
 


Yes,  I am a wealth of useless information.

Cool info!  I have some small additions:

- Tork was actually an accomplished folk musician prior to the Monkees
- Nesmith's conceptual video "Elephant Parts" was one of the first music videos and won a Grammy.  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Elephant_Parts
