So, for those people who aren't 90's kids, this is Hammerman.

Ok and we're back.
There was a specific episode of this show which has been digging at the back of my mind for twenty-five years. I literally can recount the plot of the episode, but I don't know the title nor do I know if it's possible to find it online. So here we go...
The episode took into account the old legend of the Hammerman, that the character Gramps, an old black dude in a toupee who is kind of a James Brown ripoff, was once Hammerman back in the 1960s. Then he grew too old to be the Hammerman and had to give up the shoes. The intro explains this. However this episode adds something to it.
Apparently there was this evil other musician, apparently a ripoff of Mick Jagger, who dressed in a purple vest and jeans and a bandanna (I believe red) and had a red guitar if I recall. His thing was his music could kill people, "destroy" they said if I recall. In fact he could summon a big red FACE THING, I have no other way to describe it. It was red, with fangs and yellow eyes and he could summon it and it would fly at the screen chomping.
(Oh yeah, the Face Thing may have also been on the back of his vest, like a symbol I distinctly recall that for some reason so I suspect it may have come from his vest somehow)
SOMEHOW, don't ask me how, Gramps said he used his evil music against him to "destroy" him with this Face Thing. Then, decades later, he returns somehow, again I have no idea. And he threatens to destroy the city. Apparently he proves too powerful for either Gramps or Stanley to defeat.
Stanley and Gramps have to work together to stop him, passing the shoes back and forth to overpower him and eventually he is killed ("destroyed") by the Face Thing again. If memory serves it may have had some cockamamie moral, I have no idea what after all these years but if asked to take a guess, for some reason, the theme of discrimination and bigotry was heavy. It is possible that the Face Thing and his "evil music" was the result of him being a bigot or something. For some reason that has stood out to me as a theory for so long.
And that's all I got, thanks in advance to literally help, this has been beating at the back of my mind for over twenty years! Any help would be massively appreciated!
