Chevelle had at least 2 huge hits that I remember. So I won’t say I can’t name any of their songs. But I think Creed had around 3 albums full of singles and it seemed like their first 5-6 singles released all went big on MTV and radio. They were as big as the Backstreet Boys. Chevelle was like 98 De...

“King of New Orleans” got a lot of airplay when it first came out and then they had some random Adult Pop hit single a few years later but all their albums flopped (I’m just talking about what happened after the “Desperately Wanting” era, and on that note I feel like that song should have been bigge...

They have pretty much a full setlist worth of '90s alternative rock hits, a few that crossed over the mainstream rock and pop. I saw them kin a concert in the mid '00s with Big Head Todd and someone else. Also think I saw their lead singer doing a solo slot opening for someone around 2010.

My last local rock station (which was an independent station mostly of the “alternative” format) went out of business the last year, after about a decade of drama over selling and then leasing the signal, lease renewals, etc. for a good 20-25 years they were a very strong local presence with their o...

People here might not like either of them too much, but I think Corgan’s episode with Tom Morello was pretty good as far as his interviews go.

Desmond Child said Bon Jovi management called and offered to pay him off for "Bad Name". You gotta wonder how many other times that happened and the writer just took the payout. I know that pop stars like Beyoncé have done that. Wouldn’t be surprised if it happened more back in the day. A...

https://metalinjection.net/news/whats-up-with-godsmacks-lineup Agreed it’s Sully’s band and he’ll do fine with any lineup but it was kind of hard to read the responses he gave in this interview without laughing. It has the vibe of “I’m probably getting sued by someone at some point here so I need t...

Usually on Amazon same day deliveries regardless of when I order I can get a delivery window between 5-10pm. Sometimes it comes a little on the earlier side of that range, which I’m fine with. I live in a suburban Midwest area with a lot of Amazon buildings in the general metro area. I’m a little cl...

Who is Brent Woods?

Boog. He served me his BBQ in person.

Probably. From what I recall, their buzz had cooled off a little bit when that self-titled album came out. (The importance of the Unplugged concert is felt more in retrospect than it was at the time.) Their hottest period was around Sap/Jar of Flies. Exactly how I remember it. And I was listening t...

They might be my favorite band. That said, since it’s been mentioned so many times here- what bands did they influence? I guess that’s just not something I’ve thought about much.

I recall an acoustic song called "Sex, Drugs and Rock n Roll" being on limewire that had the lyrics "now all we have is aids, disco and techo" as an unfinished song idea premiered in front of an overzealous live audience in an unamed venue. Ironic considering rumours abound that...

They were pretty big on alternative rock radio like 10 years ago - back in the day of Cage The Elephant, Fitz and the Tantrums, Royal Blood, Lorde, The Lumineers, Portugal The Man, Alt J, and so on.

My hometown. Haven’t lived there in 20 years, but they’ve had quite a few rock/country/pop festivals on the beach in recent years. Growing up, they did NOTHING big time. I think The Beach Boys (Kokomo era or later) on the beach was the biggest concert for 40 years, and they had decent local cover ba...

Was there a resurgence with this album in the early 90s with all the cd club ads and stuff? I was born in 88 but I remember hearing all about it in the early 90s and people listening again He did Part Two, which prompted sales of the original all over. The comeback was even more inexplicable - it w...

Curious, how do settlements of this nature work? Does he have to fork over the full amount in a check? Or make regular payments until its all paid off? How does that get decided? All depends on terms of the settlement. Think of how many settlements who’ve heard about (sometimes becoming public only...

St Vincent has been Grammy nominated for all that stuff almost every year for the past decade.

And she ranks higher than Billy Corgan on all the greatest guitarists lists.

MattleyCrue wrote: ↑Fri Nov 08, 2024 4:53 pm She has fans?

She has “only” fans - to the tune of million$ of month. Might have a higher income now than the peak of any musician discussed on this board outside of the extreme superstars.

There are tons of alt rock guitar heroes who write most of the songs, play a few other instruments on record, and are also the singer and frontman. Thurston Moore, Chris Cornell, and I would even say Kurt Cobain were all very good guitarists and songwriters. I’ll bet they aren’t on these lists eith...

I’ve been pleasantly surprised by a few of the interviews and clips I’ve seen of Corgan on YouTube recently, I mean personality-wise. Of course, part of its because of them was with Bill Maher and Corgan was just much more likable in comparison. I think the other one was with Rick Beato.

Plush because it has 2 versions on their greatest hits. The unplugged closes album.

Edited to add: I just looked it up and it was the #1 most played mainstream rock song in 1993 and the #4 most played rock song of the 2010s decade.

Interstate was big but I don’t think comes close to that.

5 minutes ago I just read that “insiders” were claiming he no longer is retaining a divorce attorney and is only focused on saving the marriage

I suspect has the opposite of groupies - weirdo men that pay big money to go every show and get up front, and she's tired of seeing their faces at every show. Can't really imagine it being anything else. If this 73 year-old has male groupies, men are definitely doing something wrong. Outside maybe ...

My old lady and I have been rewatching Community and I don’t think there’s ever been a woman hotter than Britta. To borrow from our kid POM, she’s so hot she makes Little Annie Adderall look plain. I generally prefer brunettes and Annie is cute, but I definitely find Britta more attractive. Even he...

EMPD had 4 Gold Albums in a row when it meant something, without “going pop.” Those albums are all considered classics in the genre. Then they had a comeback after a breakup that was a huge deal in hip-hop. And they went Gold again 5 years later in a new scene. “Da Joint” was a rap hit. “You Gots to...

In addition to the above criticisms, I must assume Pete is purposely refusing to use “their” correctly. I say this because, regardless of the substance of his message, it generally has pretty good spelling and grammar for the most part. Using “there” instead of “their” at least a handful of times mu...

That’s approx the same amount of paying customers I saw him performing in front of with The Winery Dogs Speaking of side projects, so his Sons of Apollo thing ended up releasing a live album with a full orchestra as a five disc set (three cds, dvd, bluray), after releasing ONE album. How? Who appro...

They were a one hit wonder thirty years ago, he should be counting his blessings anyone turned up at all. Especially in a random European country where they don’t even speak English! Amazed they had that many people there at all. They had 3 top-40 hits The one “big” hit was also a #1 smash. Plenty ...

Both Beady Eye and the other project got a pretty good amount of hype, at least initially, in the US. Probably as much or more than the last Oasis album, at least on the rock radio I listened to at the time. I know it doesn’t mean much at all these days (the last alternative radio station in my city...
