A short-lived but memorable band that mixed Guns N' Roses and Stone Temple Pilots.
For their sound, 'Let It Roll' opens 'Contraband' with that swagger. But 'Fall to Pieces' is the one people still know, a straightforward ballad that cuts through the noise.
They were a genuine supergroup, not just a side project, with Slash, Duff McKagan, and Scott Weiland all bringing their signature sounds. 'Fall to Pieces' became a rock radio staple, a ballad Weiland wrote during a rough patch that felt direct and unguarded. Their debut 'Contraband' sold well and captured that early-2000s hard rock moment before internal tensions took over.
They came together in the early 2000s, released 'Contraband' in 2004, and followed with 'Libertad' in 2007. Weiland left in 2008, and attempts to continue with another singer didn't last. Their story is pretty much those two albums and the tensions that came with it.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
