monster magnet

monster magnet is an american stoner rock band .
hailing from red bank , new jersey , the group was founded by dave wyndorf -lrb- vocals and guitar -rrb- , john mcbain -lrb- guitar -rrb- and tim cronin -lrb- vocals and drums -rrb- .
the band first went by the names `` dog of mystery '' , `` airport 75 '' , `` triple bad acid '' and `` king fuzz '' before finally settling on `` monster magnet '' , taken from the name of a 1960s toy made by wham-o , which wyndorf liked when he was a child .
