Question 1220: Headbanging

Before reading and trying to solve this question, please note that it is pretty cryptic; and may lead you to a dead end or end up dead (with frustration).
Just to help you out; this question has an element within each element (QUIZCEPTION). So, if I were you, I would find each element; then proceed to the hidden element within each one.
*I am not responsible for any broken monitors or keyboards.
My apologies, but just one thing I need to mention. One element is like a turnaround element. When you identify that one, you will know what you are looking for.
A:
X began its life as two companies: Lucky (or Lak Hui) Chemical Industrial (est. 1947), which made cosmetics and GoldStar (est. 1958), a radio manufacturing plant.

Question 1215: Who is Sheena?

In many ways, X seem like a cursed band. During their 20-year career they never had a single chart higher than Number 66. They rarely played venues larger than clubs, and they mostly traveled around by van. Their lead singer battled obsessive compulsive disorder all of his life, while their bassist was a hopeless heroin addict. When they broke up in 1996 few people seemed to care –though within a few years their legend had begun to grow. Their music finally started to appear in movies and TV shows, and they got into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and were awarded Lifetime Achievement Awards at the Grammys. Sadly, 3 members of the band all died between 2001 and 2004. Identify the band.

Question 1212: Eating your brains out...


Even though, X was not physically eligible, he was selected on grounds of emergency recruitment for the Indian Army. He started his career in the Indian Army as a driver in 1963. During the Indo-Pakistani War of 1965, while posted at the border in the Khem Karan sector, all of X's comrades were killed in a Pakistan offensive and he was the sole survivor of his convoy. X had a near death experience as one bullet had shot past his head. This led him to dwell on the purpose and meaning of life and death. He read Swami Vivekananda's "Call to the youth for nation building". He realized that saints sacrificed their own happiness for that of others, and that he needed to work towards reducing the sufferings of the poor. He started reading Vivekananda, Gandhi, and Vinoba Bhave. In the 1970s, he again survived a road accident while driving. It was at that particular moment that X took an oath to dedicate his life to the service of humanity. In 1975, he left the army as soon as he become eligible for receiving pension.

And as they say, the rest is history...

Identify X.
