The Metro All Stars was an American rock band composed of Andy Bailey (keyboards), Dusty Cox (saxophone, keyboards), Andy Gauthier (drums), Jody Hanks (vocals), Danny Mangold (lead guitar) and Larry Stock (bass guitar). It was a second-place finalist on the talent show ''Star Search''. In 1975-77, Mangold was guitarist and vocalist and founding member of Minneapolis Rock/Soul group The Metro All Stars, Mangold's songwriting helped secure the band a recording contract with MTM/Capitol Records in 1986.〔 After moving to Seattle, Washington, Mangold was introduced to Charles Neville of the Neville Bros. by Mark Cardenas (The Time). A record, Songcatchers' ''Dreaming in Color'' (A&M Records 1994),〔(Songcatchers )〕 was the result. In addition to playing in bands, Mangold customized guitars for Prince and Janet Jackson among others at Knut-Koupe Music in Minneapolis before moving to the Pacific Northwest. In 1989, with his mother Marlys, he opened "Danny's Music" in Everett, Washington,〔Ray Kelleher, ("Guitar Obsession -- I Wanna Hold Your Neck," ) ''Seattle Times'' January 9, 1994.〕 a rare and vintage guitar shop, whose clients included Green Day, Nirvana, Heart, and many other well-known musicians. On April 21, 2001, he was seriously injured when his 1963 Ford Futura, given to him by Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, went off the road and crashed near Seattle. Mangold's injuries were so severe that he had to close down Danny's Music and sell off the inventory, to pay his medical expenses.〔("Obits - Columns - Obits," ) ''The Stranger'' May 31 – Jun 6, 2001.〕 Mangold's other guitar playing/touring projects include a CD with Chris Barron of the Spin Doctors(Heart of the City), proceeds from which were given to the Everett Women's Shelter in 1997. Drummer on the project, Ben Smith, introduced Mangold to Ann Wilson from Heart/Lovemongers. Over 2000-2001, Mangold filled in for Nancy Wilson on various live dates, and had been hired as the lead guitar player for Heart's then-upcoming tour, when his accident occurred in 2001. Today, fully recovered from his injuries, Mangold continues to produce music in Seattle for Music Supervisors, Los Angeles. == References == 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「The Metro All Stars」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
