Another dead rock star...............

I love SNOT!! not the green tasty stuff that lives in my nose but the band from california that made some of the best(in my opinion) rock/punk music of the late nineties. However their progress was cut short by the untimely death of lead singer Lynn Strait(and dobbs). I think that if he had lived and they had continued they would have been a force to be reckoned with.

So are there any other rock/metal bands out there that due to unforseen circumstances(not talking about infighting or someone quitting) finished or ceased to exist before they had a chance to make a mark on the music world!!

In the words of SNOT.................The Band Plays On!!

The one that jumped out straight away for me is Drowning Pool. Their debut album was a cracker. Their lead singer sadly died of heart problems on tour and they've gone through a succession of replacements since then, none of which have measured up to the original.

Literally popped in here to say the same thing... Dave was a great singer.

Oh yeah, I forgot about them. I used to listen to that album regularly without skipping a track back in the day; it really was a cracker. I haven't listened to anything by them past their debut.

Every old school WWF fan knows Bodies :cool:.

Don't mind the Dark Knight video in it.

They did a pretty awesome official video for that one too, Heath Ledger's The Joker works great though.

Sublime, great band on the verge of a major breakthrough with their third album when Bradley Nowell died of an overdose. They split up immediately after his death:

Ah yes, then Sugar Ray attached themselves to the bands corpse and sucked it dry of moneys.
