Re: Name a Band for Each of These

Funny that we all have Metallica on the list. But I put them at 4 instead of 3 because they got HUGE after the loss of Cliff Burton. Though that wasn't the reason, that's went through my mind. And then again after Jason Newstedt.

I almost put Foo Fighters at #4 but then I realized that wasn't fair because it wasn't the same band, but the same idea.

Clann Zu released like three albums. Rua, Balck Coats and Self Titled, and also Red Light Emitting Organ

Re: Name a Band for Each of These

Really good list, Kyle.

Re: Name a Band for Each of These

thanks Trathena ..some of these are pretty hard to really think-of. The 1st one especially. In most cases when a band breaks up, it's before their 3rd album..or especially if it's a successful album, they end up making a 4th, etc.. Or they'll have all well received albums and breakup. SiKth, I'm sure not many around here know, but just based on ratings on rym, they kind of fit that category. They broke up last year, and sort of had success early.

edit: I suppose not seeing the dates..their last (lowest rated) ep actually came out after their last full-length, lol. O well, I suppose I still haven't come up with a good name that fits the 1st 1, after thinking about it for like 20 minutes, lol.
