Now success lawsuits infighting and feuds as well as backstabbing those are the words that I would use to describe Third Eye Blind career , so whatever happened to the bandwell you're gonna find out in today's video. Now I love the fact that I grew upin the 90s I can't imagine being a kid growing up in today's world political correctness has infected everything and they just don't make music or movies like they used to and the late 90s were a weird time in rock music. Grunge and alternative rock was on his way out it and it was replaced by this weird mishmash of post grunge groups like Bush, Better than Ezra, Days of the New and more poppy commercial rock like Goo Goo Dolls Third Eye Blind and Sugar Ray and then you had new metal. Now when I think of the more memorable parts of my childhood I think of some of the great teenage comedies including can't hardly wait and American Pie and the common bond between these two movies was the rock band Third Eye Blind who had music featured in both films. Now Third Eye Blind was huge in the late nineties and had some big singles, but whatever happened to those guys. Nw to say that Third Eye Blind had overnight success would not be true. Bandleader and singer Stephan Jenkins fine-tuned his craft in the Bay Area during the early to mid 90s before the band found huge success in 1997 with their self-titled debut album and the band would be formed four years prior by the songwriting duo of Stephan Jenkins and Kevin Cadogan in San Francisco and Jenkins influences were pretty eclectic including parliament-funkadelic to Joy Division to Cat Stevens and during his time in college Jenkins would be diagnosed with chronic fatigue syndrome, which took away a lot of his youthful energy for several years but once he recovered from that condition Jenkins turned his attention back to music. But with no label he along with Cadogan would record a demo of songs with other local musicians but the problem was that the demo didn't really fit in with what was popular on rock radio at the time, but it would be luck that truly helped the band out a close friend of the band became their manager and they met engineers David Gleason and Erick Dodd who agreed to work with the group on their songs. And at one point Gleeson even helped the band sneak into George Lucas's Skywalker Ranch way they recorded some songs It would be Third Eye Blind demos of how's it going to be and slow motion that caught the attention of recording labels including Dave Massey of Epic Records who would meet with the band and by the end of that meeting Stephen Jenkins had secured an opening slot for Oasis who were playing San Francisco that same week Jenkins would reflect on that meeting saying I think he liked my directness he wasn't threatened by it the same way some people were. Now the opening slot for Oasis was a dream come true Third Eye Blind had become used to playing for dozens of people, but they were now plaintiff thousands of people opening for one of the world's biggest rock bands. And following the opening slot for Oasis, a bidding war ensued from record labels and the band would end up signing with Elektra Records and it would prove to be one of the biggest deals for any unsigned bands at that point in time now. From the moment Third Eye Blind hit they were inescapable. the band's debut album would produce three huge singles with Semi-Charmed Life Jumper and How's it Going To Be in addition to two other well-known songs from the band's catalogue including Graduate and Losing a whole year Now those songs would be played to death on radio and television even to this day and the band at the end of the day would sell six million copies of their debut album just in the US alone and they also got a highly coveted guest spot on Saturday Night Live. Now what separated Third Eye Blind from their peers was that they were singing about some pretty dark stuff. It would probably help that from end Stephan Jenkins was obsessed with Lou Reed and The Velvet Underground and their debut album was filled with lyrics about drug addiction, abuse and suicide as exemplified in the song Semi Charmed Life and Jumper but these tracks were packaged with catchy hooks and up-tempo feel and poppy choruses and the lyrical matter did little to dissuade radio stations from not playing their tunes now 1999 |
