Velvet Revolver. They made a single for the Hulk soundtrack. It was... weird.

And the only thing I know from The Watchmen is (I think the song's called) "Stereo".

I saw everclear live in Mid July at Stage 13, so that's not correct.

I knew Pearl Jam were still together.


And

Velvet Revolver has more than just that one song from the Hulk.

Yes STP did break up,the front man Scott something is forming a new band with Slash from Guns N' Roses(I am not sure) to make a new record...By the way,I just bought their greatest hits Thank You,it's awesome,you get pretty much all the hits plus a DVD of EVERYTHING. :)




Scott and GnR band is old news, its not just slash its all the guns and roses members except for obviously axel

there called velvet revolver, that had a song on the hulk soundtrack and the did a cover of pink floyds song money for the italian job movie

velvet revolver and STP were around at the same time, i think STP broke up because Scott seems to spend most of his time in jail

Well, Everclear's official site seems to be dead... but MTV.com doesn't say anything about them breaking up in their news archives or anything. :think:

Everclear had plans to quit playing together after they released one of their cds. I forgot the name of it, but it had either a smiley or a sad face on it. I am not sure which one. But Art does go around playing solo shows now, because I saw him in Michigan at the Shelter in November.
I faced death. I went in with my arms swinging. But I heard my own breath and had to face that I'm still living. I'm still flesh. I hold on to awful feelings. I'm not dead... My chest still draws breath. I hold it. I'm buoyant. There's no end.

Smashing Pumpkins didn't break up this year, did they? I thought they broke up a while ago. Zwan broke up this year.

Everclear =(

How sad... I can't find any info on it except for an interview with Art where he says they are broken up. I don't want him to go acoustic, and I want the other guys back, I just with they would've went more than a 3-piece. I loved everything about them, but yes, a lot of songs sounded similar, and I think additional members would've helped. Either way, I like Art's lyrics and vocals, so anything he's involved in, I will follow heh

what are you talking about, just because you saw a band 5 months ago doesn't mean they can't break up. i mean, there is no 5 month waiting period for breaking up.

Yeah. The original plans for them breaking up were known long ago, like years ago. Their plan was to break up after the last cd they released. So yeah. That's why every major city in America had the Art Alexakis solo tour this fall.
