Question
...many years ago in the 80's somebody copied the J. Geils Band song "Flame Thrower", lots of bass line through out the song, I dont remember anyone singing, it was all music as though it were for adance track/club? Who did this song? What CD offers that song?

Answer
Dear Ray,

I don't know if this is the one you're talking about. Just the same, it's the only song I know that sampled FLAMETHROWER by J. GEILS BAND. Check out THE FLAMETROWER RAP by FELIX & JARVIS. It was recorded back in 1982, just a year after the original version was released through the album FREEZE FRAME.

Maraming salamat po!!

Expertise

I can answer just about everything from the 80`s, rock, pop, trivias, artist infos, Billboard chart positions, albums, etc. But songs that became hit in the Philippines and OPM songs are my expertise. I grew on 80`s music and still listening to 80`s music as it is the best era in music history for me. My friends call me the walking encyclopedia of 80`s music. I got books & collections of CDs, all from the 80`s.

Experience

Let's just say music is my life and my source is a lifetime of knowledge about 80's music and then some.
