The Yellow Monkey (ザイエローモンキー), often abbreviated to yemon (イエモン), is a popular Japanese rock band formed in 1989. Its name derives from an ethnic slur and is an ironic reference to the belief that Japanese rock groups could never be "authentic". In 2003, HMV Records Japan rated them #81 in their "Top 100 Japanese pops Artists". Although band activities were ceased starting from January 2001, except for later releases of band material such as compilations and DVDs, The Yellow Monkey actually broke up on July 7, 2004. THE YELLOW MONKEY（ザ イエローモンキー）は、吉井和哉（LOVIN、ボーカル、ギター）、菊地英昭（EMMA、ギター）、廣瀬洋一（HEESEY、ベース）、菊地英二（ANNIE、ドラムス）の4名からなる日本のロックバンド。 1988年に結成、2001年1月より活動を停止し、2004年7月7日をもって解散した。 なお「イエローモンキー」とは主に西洋圏で使用される日本人に対する蔑称である。この名前は、ダサくてシニカルな名前にしたいと考えていた吉井によってつけられた。略称は、イエモン。 吉井和哉（よしい かずや、1966年10月8日 - ） ボーカル担当。通称ロビン（LOVIN）。東京都北区出身。解散後はYOSHII LOVINSON（2006年に吉井和哉に改名）として活動。　 菊地英昭（きくち...

Soundgarden is a Seattle rock band who helped to define the sound that came to be called grunge. Despite starting years earlier, and having a sound that more closely resembled Black Sabbath or Led Zeppelin than their contemporaries, they are considered one of the "big four" of the '90s Seattle grunge bands, along with Alice In Chains, Nirvana and Pearl Jam.
