Of course, the idea of success can have different meanings.
Some bands hope to end up like Rock and Roll Hall of Famers such asGreen DayorAC/DC.
Unfortunately, not every band gets exactly what they desire.

They disbanded in 1997 and wouldn’t reunite until 2010.
They’ve released two more records, but they’re still chasing those early accomplishments.
However,it’s those achievements that should place the band in greater prominence as they are history-makers.

Sadly, the band only released two albums before their lead singer, Shannon Hoon, died.
What they did release was magic, astheir self-titled first album went 4x platinum in the United States.
Of course, that record is remembered for the iconic song, “No Rain.”
That track went straight to number one.

After putting out their sophomore album,Soup,the band went on tour to promote it.
However, it was during this tour that Hoon died.
Blind Melon would have a go at replace him, but they were unsuccessful and dissolved in 1999.
