Yeah I view 3rd Eye Blind as the quintessential late 90s alt rock band. Like pop rock. You had Matchbox 20, Blink 182, Offspring, Sugar Ray etc also.

That's a bizarre video. Talk about mishandled?!  I was confused for the first 2 or 3 minutes what exactly the issue was/was going to be.

Thanks for posting.

Yeah thats weird about him. Didn't know he was older than me, he's 50. So he woulda been 30 when they hit big. Maybe he was past it, but a weird decision to not ride the fun out, and money. I don't recall the news of them breaking up but I remember that first song being huge. Non stop.

There were alot of one hit wonders kinda like him, Rockabye song, Standing Outside a Broken Payphone With A Quarter In My Hand song, mostly solo acts. Wonder what it was that he just couldn't do it. I guess look at Izzy or Brain from Korn, but they did it for a few years tho, geez, he's like Field Of Dreams guy, wanted 1 shot at it and walked away content.

Still wanna be stuck between Natalie Portmans legs?

I was meaning to post this a few weeks back in this thread, it's possible that line torpedo'd his bands career. Yeah he got away with a surprise hit, but if the album is as good as you guys say it to be, its very possible MM & Courtney Love refused to do future TRL or MTV interviews etc at the time (98-99) which, they were at the top of the charts back then for the most part.

The band Pavement had a line '
Out on tour, with the Smashing Pumpkins,
nature kids, but they don't serve no function
I don't really understand, what they mean
& I could really give a fuck'

and I read recently where Billy Corgan kept them off Lollapalooza 94 as a result. They stayed a popular indie band but never achieved radio success after that song (Range Life, I think). They also sorta bash STP
Stone Temple Pilots, they're elegant bastards
Are they foxy to you, I will agree
that I don't know what they mean
and I could really, give a fuck.

Lady Gaga was pretty good. A little bit operatic, some vocal gymnastics but more range than I assumed she had. Gymnastics weren't as annoying as Christina's typically are, more of a song than a tryout.
