There seems to be some discrepancy in dates. Was the band founded in 1989, like the summary says, or after Spider One dropped out of school in 1990, as according to the later section?


I believe Much Evil was actually a solo release by "MC Spider". Band members were added later when Spider was asked to perform a live act. --Ironcladben 04:20, 2 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Shadow the Hedgehog

Was this the same Powerman 5000 that made the song " almost dead" in Shadow the Hedgehog?

Please answer.Ollie the Magic Skater 03:04, 16 April 2006 (UTC)

Yes it is.

Some pages on more of the band members, some more albums and Megatronic Records would be good.

[edit] Bombshell and the WWE

The game wasn't actually the first time the WWE used Powerman 5000. For some time a few years ago, the Dudley Boyz used to stomp in to Bombshell.

[edit] NOT Featured in Guitar Hero

NONE of Powerman 5000's songs have been featured in Guitar Hero, or have been confirmed for Guitar Hero II. Deleting the offending line.


Did nt PM5K made a cover of the song "you realy got me now" for Desperate Housewives trailer ?

[edit] Frankie Goes To Hollywood cover?

This goes back a few months, but I'll give the whole story behind it. It might start irrelevant, but it gets to the point ;)

After seeing a YTMND - can't the remember the URL off the top of my head - containing the song "You Spin Me Right Round" performed by a band under the name "Dope", I recall seeing elsewhere a PM5K song under the same title, sounding exactly the same. Did PM5K really do a cover of the song, or was that a mistake made to the person to supplied the file? (Like with Queen with "Mr. Roboto") 194.83.164.22 14:51, 20 December 2006 (UTC)

To the best of my knowledge, PM5K has never covered "You Spin Me Right Round", no. I haven't followed them much recently, but I do know that Dope did a cover and so did Blind Passengers, so it's likely you heard one of those. Col.clawhammer 18:38, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

They did a cover of "Relax" for the Zoolander movie. 69.92.252.96 (talk) 21:54, 18 March 2008 (UTC)

[edit] True Force

How come there is no information about True Force on the discography or it's own article? It's mentioned in the article but not included... Livingston 08:16, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
