Mondo Bungle

Queensryche - Continuing to make albums and tour the world.
Kenny G - 25th highest selling artist in America
Nevermore - After releasing a slew of nice and successful 2000's albums, went on hiatus in 2011, but only after touring heavily with great success.
Burning Witch - I guess you got me here, they were only around for 3 years, but members went on to form Sunn O))) and Khanate, 2 highly revered bands in the metal community.
Carissa's Wierd - After influencing countless bands and sparking more interest in a musical movement, broke up in 2003. Members formed Band of Horses.
Hovercraft - Cited as one of the most abrasive, non-commercial sounding bands ever to receive major label distribution for its albums. The group was largely well respected and well received by critics and developed a cult following.
Land - Probably the only band I mentioned that hasn't had a huge, longstanding effect on music. Oh well, they made some great stuff right at the same time grunge was going strong, and many people enjoyed it.
The Mentors - do you not know the Mentors?
Sanctuary - Jeff Loomis was in the band, so they spawned the aforementioned Nevermore, highly influential and well regarded in the thrash scene.

Only an idiot would tell you going whateverthe****x platinum makes success.

I don't most of the bands you're talking about and no one else does either. And when told we have to play grunge to get hired, it would not have been well-received to offer to play Queensryche instead--whom I never listen to on top of it.

As for the Mentors, I not only saw them, I KNEW El Duce who is dead now in case you didn't know. He's been dead for some time.

You don't have to hide your limited music knowledge bro. So you don't know the bands, I guarantee the majority of people here do, and even more out there in the real world.

The Mentors have released six albums since El Duce died.

Furthermore, "where are they now" is a ridiculous argument. Very very few acts continue for 20-25 years, the vast majority evolve and move on to other things

lord i feel like youre still disgruntled and bitter because your band never made it big and you blame grunge for it which is why you hate it so much


im not a punk fan, ive liked very few songs ive heard and really dont like the punk mentality or whtever

Lord Larehip

You're not going to make it big playing hardcore. I just enjoyed it. It was fun. I liked having a gig every week. But once grunge came, that was the end of it. The skinheads avoided it too and I could not figure that out. If ever a group of people deserved to have the skinheads inflicted on them, it was the grunge crowd. The skins' stupid violence was in part what killed hardcore.

To each their own.

They are wrong and I am right u fuckboy



But seriously are you ****ing kidding me the Clash didn't change up their sound as I apparently perpetuate? What? The s/t and Give Em Enough Rope are rather similar but they branched way the **** out

FRED HALE SR.

I am a **** man, get it right youngster.

I think the Clash made some slight changes after Give em enough, but not anything overt, as London Calling wasn't a real drastic departure from both of those. I'd say in their later albums they added a more poppy approach but it was still distinctly The Clash.

The Clash DID change up their sound and they stopped being punk.
