ALSO: Ak-69 was a heavy Metal cover band from Flint Michigan. They formed in 1988, when this Jap-Rapper was only 11. Founding Members were Singer Doug Gordon, and Drummer Kevin Janowick. Original members were Mark Klimek on bass guitar and Eric Patte on lead guitar. Later on, Jim Hamady replaced the drummer, and Ron Wood became the Lead guitarist. For a brief stint Kurt Baker was in the band as a rhythm guitarist. Everywhere this band played there were fights and riots. They were virtually banned from every venue that they played due to the rioting and damage that their fans caused. Sometimes the band members were accused of inciting and participating in the mayhem and violence, although never proven. They disbanded in 1990 after many disagreements, and everybody went their own direction. To this day there are many people wondering which member of this band is there real father.
