Bands with History

The twists and turns of being in a multi-platinum band must be mind-numbing.
  • Consider Styx and the account of the band's meltdown that happened 32 years ago. While the band exists today, its classic lineup was in turmoil with the success of their awesome release "Kilroy was Here." It's a fascinating article.
  • Consider Pantera, which doesn't exist anymore, and the news that the grave of their guitarist Dimebag Darrell was desecrated. It's awful enough to know that you will never see the person in the grave again. To then go and vandalize a final resting place must be a thousand kicks to the gut. It sends a clear message that your pain is insignificant.
