Dan berhasil menjadi salah satu musisi bersejarah dan dikenang serta berpengaruh sepanjang masa di Indonesia.

Kediaman Bimbim di Jl. Potlot 14 jadi markas besar mereka dan menjadi situs wajib yang harus dikunjungi para Slanker.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Mereka sempat tampil di beberapa pentas dengan membawakan lagu-lagu sendiri sebelum Erwan memutuskan mundur karena merasa tidak punya harapan di Slank. Dengan perjuangan panjang terbentuklah formasi ke-13, Bimbim, Kaka, Bongky, Pay dan Indra, Slank baru solid.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Dengan formasi Bimbim (Drum), Bongky (Bass), Pay (Gitar), Kaka (Vokal) dan Indra (Keyboard) mereka mulai membuat demo untuk ditawarkan ke perusahaan rekaman.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Setelah berulang kali ditolak, akhirnya tahun 1990 demonya diterima dan mulai rekaman debut album </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Suit-Suit..._He_He_He_%28Gadis_Sexy%29&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Suit-Suit... He He He (Gadis Sexy) (halaman belum
tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Suit-Suit... He He He (Gadis Sexy)</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Album yang menampilkan hit <b>Memang</b> dan <b>Maafkan</b> itu meledak dipasaran sehingga mereka pun diganjar <b>BASF</b> Award untuk kategori pendatang baru terbaik. Album tersebut juga seakan "menampar" industri musik Indonesia yang kala waktu itu masih gencarnya lagu lagu Malaysia seperti tembang Issabella milik Search. Musik Slank yang </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Rock_%27N_Roll_Blues&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Rock 'N Roll Blues (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Rock 'N Roll Blues</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> itu bisa dibilang penyelamat kaum anak muda di Indonesia. Gayanya yang cuek dan slengean tapi bersahabat itu menarik massa yang saat itu masih sebatas minoritas.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Album kedua mereka, </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Kampungan&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Kampungan (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Kampungan</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> pun meraih sukses yang sama.. Hits single dari album Kampungan adalah <b>Mawar Merah</b> dan <b>Terlalu Manis</b> yang dibuat dalam dua versi. <b>Suka suka</b> dan <b>Jualan</b>. Namun anehnya,, justru lagu yang versi Suka suka lah yang menjadi hits dan sering dimainkan. Lagu nya memang damai karena Kaka bermain harmonika (bukan pertama kali ini saja Kaka bermain harmonika). Di album Kampungan ini pun,Slank memasukkan lagu Nina Bobo. Nafas Rock 'N Roll dan Blues masih terasa di album ini. Wajar,, karena nyawa musik Slank ada di situ.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Tahun 1993 bulan Desember, Slank merilis Album ketiga yang diberi judul </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Piss/Tiga&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Piss/Tiga (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Piss/Tiga</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Semboyan Peace di plesetkan menjadi Piss. Semboyan Piss menjadi trend di masa itu (mungkin juga sampai sekarang). Hits single dari album ini adalah <b>Piss</b> dan <b>Kirim Aku Bunga</b>. Cover album ini adalah seorang model yang meniru pose </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Jim_Morisson&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Jim Morisson (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Jim Morisson</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=%28The_Doors%29&action=edit&redlink=1" title="(The Doors) (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">(The Doors)</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Namun banyak yang berpendapat bahwa model di cover tersebut adalah Bimbim.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Tahun 1994, Slank lagi-lagi merilis sebuah album yang diberi titel </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Generasi_Biroe&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Generasi Biroe (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Generasi Biroe</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Lagu ini juga sering dibawakan sampai saat ini. Hits single dari album ini adalah <b>Generasi Biroe</b>, <b>Terbunuh Sepi</b>, dan juga <b>Kamu Harus Pulang</b> yang sering dimainkan saat ending show mereka.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Album ke lima mereka, </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Minoritas" title="Minoritas"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Minoritas</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> dirilis pada Januari 1996. Menampilkan single <b>Bang Bang Tut</b> yang juga sukses dipasaran dan masih sering dinyanyikan di show mereka. Di album ini juga Bimbim menyanyikan sebuah lagu miliknya yang berjudul <b>Bidadari Penyelamat</b>. Unik nya,, lagu ini tidak ada aransemen apapun. Hanya suara Bimbim saja.<o:p></o:p></span></div><h2 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Perpecahan Band</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Pada saat menggarap album keenam </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagi_Sedih&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Lagi Sedih (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Lagi Sedih</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, Bimbim selaku leader akhirnya memutuskan untuk memecat Bongky, Pay dan Indra.. Namun ada juga yang menyebutkan bahwa Bongky, Indra dan Pay keluar atau mengundurkan diri karena perilaku Bimbim dan Kaka yang sudah terlampau parah dalam penggunaan narkoba. Perpecahan tersebut sebenarnya sudah bisa terlihat di album ke empat mereka di lagu Pisah Saja Dulu. <b>Bimbim bahkan berniat untuk membubarkan Slank. Namun sebuah surat yang ditulis dengan darah oleh seorang Slanker membuatnya mengurungkan niatnya. Isinya menyeramkan. Dia bersumpah untuk membunuh Bimbim jika Bimbim benar benar melaksanakan niatnya untuk membubarkan Slank.</b> Kaka dan Bimbim tetap menggarap album ke-6 dengan bantuan additional player. Reynold masuk untuk mengisi posisi gitar dan Ivanka yang waktu itu sering nongkrong di Potlot juga ikut membantu dalam mengerjakan project Slank untuk album ke enam dengan formasi masa transisi ini.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Album </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Lagi_Sedih&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Lagi Sedih (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Lagi Sedih</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> pun dirilis pada Februari 1996. Dengan single <b>Koepoe Liarkoe</b> dan <b>Tong Kosong</b> membuktikan Slank masih bisa survive. Tawaran manggung pun berdatangan. Dan saat tinggal beberapa kota yang akan diselesaikan dalam rangkaian show nya,, Reynold menyatakan ingin keluar dari Slank. Alasannya karena beliau juga tidak kuat karena Bimbim dan Kaka yang saat itu masih terjerumus dengan narkoba. Walaupun saat itu sudah dibujuk untuk menunda pengunduran dirinya,, Reynold tetap tidak ingin melanjutkan sisa show nya. Saat itu lah reformasi di tubuh Slank terjadi.<o:p></o:p></span></div><h2 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Narkoba</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Terbujuk rayuan teman di Bali 14 tahun lalu, Bimbim—penabuh drum grup musik Slank—dan keponakannya, Kaka—vokalis Slank—pun mencecapi ”obat langit” yang membuat pemakainya melayang-layang dan ketagihan.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Waktu pertama kali mencoba (1994), mereka bilang badan jadi tidak enak.

Mereka ”kehabisan barang”, sakau. Tidak ada orang jual barang seperti itu di Lubuk Linggau. Bimbim sampai tidak bisa bangun, di kamar. Padahal mereka masih harus melayani wartawan, wawancara. Tinggal Kaka, yang badannya lebih kuat, melayani wartawan, meski dengan susah payah. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Slank membantah anggapan bahwa dengan mengkonsumsi Narkoba seorang seniman bisa lebih kreatif, justru sebaliknya, tanpa menggunakan barang haram tersebut mereka terbukti bisa menghasilkan karya-karya bagus.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">"Saat membikin album pertama hingga ketiga, kami belum memakai Narkoba, tapi album itu terbukti paling bagus.

Slank yang sepeninggal Reynold langsung bergerak cepat. Management langsung mencari orang untuk untuk menyelesaikan sisa show di beberapa kota.

Sedangkan manager Slank waktu itu,,Mbak Wiwid mengontak Mohammad Ridwan Hafiedz (Ridho) yang baru saja menyelesaikan sekolah gitarnya di </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood" title="Hollywood"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Hollywood</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> untuk diminta bantuannya. Mereka pun ditugaskan untuk menghafal 35 lagu Slank dalam waktu satu minggu. Sebuah target yang besar dan waktu yang singkat. Namun mungkin karena dua orang itu adalah seorang musisi yang hebat,, target tersebut tercapai. Dengan adanya dua gitaris ini sebenarnya sangat membingungkan juga karena sebelumnya Slank hanya memakai satu gitaris. Namun karena waktu yang sangat singkat dan mendesak,, akhirnya dua orang tersebut dipakai untuk melengkapi formasi inti Slank. Dan ketika konser pun, semua mata hampir tertuju ke arah dua gitaris baru tersebut. Ketika itu Slank diprediksi akan hancur dalam setahun namun ternyata formasi ini bertahan hingga saat ini dan mereka terus melahirkan karya-karya yang menegaskan eksistensi mereka di dunia musik Indonesia.<o:p></o:p></span></div><h2 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Album baru dan semangat baru</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Masuknya Abdee dan Ridho dalam formasi inti Slank membuat Bimbim dan Kaka melanjutkan perjalanan bermusiknya. Diawali dengan album </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tujuh" title="Tujuh"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Tujuh</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> yang dirilis January 1997 dengan single yang menghentak yaitu <b>Balikin</b>. Lagu yang menandakan bahwa Bimbim dan Kaka ingin rehat dan sehat dari ketergantungan. Ditambah dengan Abdee dan Ridho yang benar-benar bersih dari narkoba semakin menguatkan niat mereka. Mereka berhenti bukan karena takut diikuti massa yang memang sudah banyak,, namun mereka berhenti justru karena sudah banyaknya yang mengikuti mereka memakai narkoba. Album tersebut terjual satu juta copy hanya dalam hitungan minggu. Bimbim lagi-lagi menyumbang suaranya dalam lagu <b>Bimbim Jangan Menangis</b>. Sebuah curhatan yang tercipta sejak tahun 1993. Ridho bermain keyboard di lagu ini. Di tahun ini pulalah </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Bunda_Iffet&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Bunda Iffet (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Bunda Iffet</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> selaku Ibunda dari Bimbim mengambil alih jabatan menjadi Manager Slank.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Album berikutnya </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Mata_Hati_Reformasi&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Mata Hati Reformasi (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Mata Hati Reformasi</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> dirilis. Lagu-lagu di album ini banyak bercerita tentang masalah sosial dan pemerintahan di zaman reformasi. <b>Ketinggalan Zaman</b> menjadi andalan di album ini. Slank juga mengaransemen ulang lagu tradisional yang diberi judul <b>Punk Java</b>. Di album ini juga terdapat sebuah lagu yang seharusnya di rilis pada album Tujuh namun terkena sensor. Namun saat Orba rezim </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Soeharto" title="Soeharto"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Soeharto</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> runtuh, lagu tersebut bisa masuk dalam album ini. <b>Siapa Yang Salah</b> adalah judul lagunya. Yang unik dari lagu ini adalah lagu ini hanya dimainkan oleh Bimbim dan Kaka. Mereka berdua yang memainkan semua. Bimbim juga mengambil dua porsi lagu yang dia nyanyikan. <b>Aktor Intelektual</b> dan <b>Nggak Mau Percaya</b>. Di album ini Slank memberi bonus sebuah kalung tiap satu buah kaset original. Ada peringatan di belakang kaset untuk didampingi kepada pendengar dibawah umur. Banyak lagu yang direkam secara live di album ini.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Tahun 1998 juga Slank menyelenggarakan konser dengan judul <b>Konser Piss 30 Kota</b> yang direkam dan dijual ke pasaran. Lagu yang direkam secara live dan ada bonus dua buah lagu baru yaitu <b>Pintu</b> dan <b>Makan Gak Makan</b>. Album ini banyak sekali mengambil tema lagu-lagu politik yang di masuk kan ke dalam nya. Bimbim bernyanyi di lagu <b>Kalo Aku Jadi Presiden</b> namun ada lirik yang dirubah oleh nya. Hampir di setiap lagu, ada sedikit "ceramah" dari Kaka maupun Bimbim.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Tahun 1999 Slank merilis double album yang diberi judul </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=999%2B09&action=edit&redlink=1" title="999+09 (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">999+09</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Ada total 27 lagu yang dibuat dalam dua versi. Yaitu versi abu-abu dan versi yang biru. Versi yang biru memiliki single <b>Bintang Kesiangan</b> dan <b>Anak Mami</b> sedangkan versi abu-abu adalah <b>Orkes Sakit Hati</b> dan <b>Ngangkang</b> serta <b>Malam Minggu Lagi</b>. Konon, saking banyaknya lagu yang mau dijadikan single, Slank mengumpulkan massa di Potlot dan mendengarkannya kepada pendengar untuk dimintai pendapatnya perihal lagu mana yang akan dijadikan single. Lagu Orkes Sakit Hati memang ditujukan kepada orang-orang dan politisi yang cenderung menguraikan janji-janji manis nya. Di PV (promo video)lagu tersebut juga Slank bermain di tengah-tengah masyarakat kecil. Bimbim mengambil jatah dua lagu dari masing-masing album. <b>Sista Petty</b> di album abu-abu dan <b>Friday</b> di album biru.Bonus dari album ini adalah sebuah kantong kecil yang biasa dipakai di ikat pinggang. Tahun 1999 pun menjadi tahun dimana Bimbim mengakhiri masa lajangnya dan menikahi seorang gadis bernama Reny.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Slank kemudian merilis sebuah album the best yang diberi titel De Bestnya Slank.

Dan sebuah live lagu Malam Minggu Lagi yang direkam di </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Potlot&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Potlot (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Potlot</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Next album,, </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virus" title="Virus"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Virus</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> dirilis pada 2001. Berisi single <b>Virus</b>, <b>Jakarta Pagi Ini</b>, dan <b>#1</b>. Bonus dari album ini adalah sebuah tattoo dan kartu koleksi Slank. Lagu bertema sosial juga dimasukkan di album ini. Keprihatinan Slank tentang pembabatan hutan bisa ditangkap lewat lagu <b>Lembah Baliem</b>. Bahkan Slank memasukan lagu Yamko Rambe Yamko di akhir lagu Lembah Baliem. Lagu yang berasal dari tanah Papua. Di lagu #1 dan <b>Symphaty Blues</b>, Slank untuk pertama memasukkan unsur orkestra di lagu nya. Erwin Gutawa orkestra lah yang ikut membantu lagu yang ditaruh di track terakhir itu. Sebelum lagu #1, Anda bahkan bisa mendengar permainan solo Abdee di lagu <b>Kereta terakhir</b>. Di lagu Symphaty Blues, Anda bisa mendengar suara seorang wanita yang konon itu adalah istri dari Kaka, Tascha.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Sukses album Slank sendiri langsung diikuti dengan konser Virus Road Show 22 Kota di Indonesia dan hasil Live nya sendiri bisa didengar di album yang diberi judul <b>A Mild Live Slank Virus Road Show</b> dengan bonus tambahan satu buah lagu baru dengan judul yang sangat menarik, <b>I Miss You But I Hate You</b> dan bonus sebuah Koran Koranan Slank. Koran Koranan Slank ini adalah cikal bakal lahirnya media bulletin yang bisa didapatkan diluar (tanpa harus membeli kasetnya) secara berkala. Ini adalah album live kedua Slank setelah Konser Piss 30 Kota.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Dalam versi kaset,,terdapat permainan solo dari Abdee, Ridho, dan Ivanka. Rekaman lagu Pak Tani yang di Jember dimana terjadi keributan antar penonton pun dimasukkan di kaset ini. Namun jika Anda melihat yang versi VCD nya,, konser yang di ambil adalah yang di </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jember" title="Jember"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Jember</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Di lagu Bocah, Ivanka bermain gendang terlebih dahulu sebelum memainkan gendangnya. Di lagu Pak Tani dimana ada keributan tersebut, Slank mengajak penonton untuk melakukan semacam tanya jawab di tengah-tengah lagu dan yang menarik adalah saat Kaka bertanya apakah mungkin jika Slank menjadi presiden, dan jawabannya ternyata tidak mungkin. Di lagu Kamu Harus Pulang yang menjadi penutup konser pun diselipi ucapan terima kasih kepada semua pihak di tengah-tengah lagu.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Seperti tak mengenal lelah,,Slank lagi-lagi merilis album studio kesebelas nya yang diberi titel </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Satu_Satu&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Satu Satu (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Satu Satu</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> (11) pada tahun 2003. <b>Bulan dan Bintang</b>, <b>Gara-Gara Kamu</b>, dan <b>Jembatan Gantung</b> menjadi hitsnya. Lagu Bulan dan Bintang juga masuk dalam soundtrack film Novel Tanpa Huruf R. Lagu Gara-Gara Kamu ditujukan kepada narkoba yang sempat membuat mereka mengalami masa-masa kritis. Tingkat kreativitas Slank saat itu bisa dibilang sangat tinggi dan sangat produktif. Bisa dibilang di tahun ini lah mereka benar-benar bersih dari ketergantungan. Album ini juga diikuti dengan award AMI Award kategori album rock terbaik. Album ini diberi bonus kondom dan kartu koleksi Slank. Cover depan album pun ditulis 'EDISI KHUSUS SUAMI ISTRI'. Di album ini Kaka sudah tidak berambut panjang gimbal namun menjadi lebih pendek namun tetap keriting. Bimbim menyumbang suaranya di lagu Jadi Masalah. Di PV Jembatan gantung, Slank tidak tampil namun hanya para siswa sekolah yang diperankan </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marshanda" title="Marshanda"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Marshanda</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> dan beberapa remaja lainnya.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Slank kemudian menyelenggarakan Satu-Satu Live Tour di kota-kota Indonesia. Beberapa lagu di konser tersebut dimasukkan ke album live ketiga mereka yang diberi titel </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bajakan" title="Bajakan"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Bajakan</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Bajakan adalah bentuk kegelisahan Slank terhadap para pembajak yang dengan mudah dan gampangnya mencuri hak cipta seorang pemusik. Lagu lagu yang direkam semuanya adalah live hasil konser dibeberapa tempat dan event. Ada tiga lagu baru yang dimasukkan di album live ketiga Slank ini. <b>That's All</b>,, yang direkam pada konser Satu-Satu Live Tour ini menjadi single disusul <b>Bendera 1/2 Tiang</b> yang direkam di studio Parah di Potlot dan juga lagu hasil kolaborasi dengan group musik dari <b>Korea Selatan</b> berjudul South Asia. South Asia direkam secara live bersama <b>Yoon Band</b> dari Korea. Lagu ini pernah dibawakan saat Slank bermain di Korea. Yoon Band pun ikut berkolaborasi di lagu I Miss You But I Hate You milik Slank yang direkam pada acara Impresario. Sang vokalis dari Yoon Band mengubah liriknya menjadi bahasa korea. Lagu tersebut juga masuk dalam album Bajakan ini. Ada juga lagu dimana Slank berkolaborasi dengan raja dangdut Rhoma Irama di lagu Balikin. Kaka tidak banyak bernyanyi di lagu ini. Malah Rhoma lah yang mengambil hampir seluruh bagian yang dinyanyikan Kaka. Hasil konser Tiga Dimensi pun dimasukkan kesini. Ending album Bajakan adalah Sumpah Anti Pembajak yang di deklarasikan Slank bersama Slanker se-Indonesia. Bonus album ini adalah sebuah pick guitar.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Slank merayakan ulang tahun ke 20 nya di Lebak Bulus. Konser yang diberi judul <b>Metamorfosa Sebuah Generasi</b> ini banyak diisi para musisi yang meramaikan acara ini diantaranya </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ungu" title="Ungu"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Ungu</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Koil" title="Koil"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Koil</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, dll. 20 tahun bermain musik dan berkreasi belumlah cukup untuk Slank.

(grup musik)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Naif</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> menggelar konser bersama bernama <b>Road to Peace 24 Kota</b>. Yang menarik dari konser ini adalah, dibawakannya lagu-lagu baru yang belum pernah dibawakan dan hasil lagunya direkam secara live dan dijadikan album berikutnya. Jika biasanya Slank merekam lagu, rilis, kemudian tour,, kali ini tidak. Mereka tour sambil merekam secara live di panggung, baru kemudian merilisnya. Album ini diberi nama </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Road_to_Peace&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Road to Peace (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Road to Peace</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Naif juga berkolaborasi di lagu <b>Amrozy Gitting</b> yang direkam di studio Parah milik Slank. Dua lagu yaitu Amrozy Gitting dan P3K direkam di Potlot, markas mereka sedangkan yang lainnya direkam di atas panggung. <b>Mars Slankers</b> dan <b>Salah</b> menjadi jagoan di album ini. Di album ini juga dimasukkan sebuah karya dari <b>Mochtar Embut</b> berjudul Mars Pemilu yang diaransemen menjadi aransemen rock oleh Slank. Album ini konon disebut sebagai album live pertama di dunia. Walaupun sudah pernah ada yang merekam full album secara live seperti </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Greateful_Dead&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Greateful Dead (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Greateful Dead</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> dan </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blues_Traveler&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Blues Traveler (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Blues Traveler</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">,, namun band tersebut tidak merekam nya di atas panggung seperti yang dilakukan Slank. Untuk pematangan konsep pun, Slank tidak ragu dan malu untuk menyewa sebuah studio ketika Slank berada di kota tempat mereka akan show. Bahkan lagu <b>Make Love Not War</b> direkam saat Slank sedang </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Checksound&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Checksound (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">checksound</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> di </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yogyakarta" title="Yogyakarta"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Yogyakarta</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">.

Di akhir tahun 2004, lagi-lagi Slank merilis sebuah album baru. </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=P.L.U.R&action=edit&redlink=1" title="P.L.U.R (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">P.L.U.R</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> adalah nama albumnya.

Slank dan Iwan Fals berhasil mengumpulkan total 2,9 Milyar Rupiah yang akan disumbangkan untuk korban bencana alam tsunami di Aceh dan sekitarnya. Target dari Deteksi dan A Mild adalah Rp.3 Milyar sehingga angka tersebut di bulatkan menjadi Rp.3 Milyar yang disumbangkan ke Aceh. Terjadi insiden di Bengkulu dalam konser ini dimana Kaka harus dilarikan ke dokter umum karena terkena timpukan dari penonton yang mengakibatkan pendarahan pada mulutnya. Namun show masih dilanjutkan. Konser ini diakhiri di Ancol.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />

Slank membawakan dua buah lagu yaitu Bang Bang Tut dan Virus (English Version). Dalam konser ini, Slank juga bertemu kembali dengan Yoon Band,musisi yang berkolaborasi dengan Slank dan menghasilkan sebuah lagu yang masuk ke dalam album mereka masing-masing.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Masih di tahun yang sama, Abdee Negara selaku gitaris Slank melelang gitar </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fender" title="Fender"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Fender</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Stratocoaster&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Stratocoaster (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Stratocoaster</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> nya. Dibuka dengan harga Rp 10 Juta, dan berharap bisa mencapai Rp 20 Jutaan, perkiraan Abdee ternyata jauh meleset. Angkanya terus naik dan akhirnya terjual seharga Rp 325 Juta. </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Adrie_Soebono&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Adrie Soebono (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Adrie Soebono</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, seorang promotor kondang dari </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=JAVA_Musikindo&action=edit&redlink=1" title="JAVA Musikindo (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">JAVA Musikindo</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> itulah yang berhasil mendapatkannya. Bahkan terlihat Abdee sempat ingin meneteskan air mata setelah tahu harga gitar yang telah setia menemaninya itu (gitar Abdee tersebut dipakai saat rekaman maupun tour Slank dari pertama Abdee bergabung) dinilai sangat tinggi melebihi bayangan awalnya. Ivan juga sempat melelang bass </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Tobias_Legend&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Tobias Legend (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Tobias Legend</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> kesayangannya dan berhasil meperoleh Rp. 5 Juta.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
DI tahun 2005, Slank sempat merilis sebuah Video Live dalam format DVD dan VCD. Diambil dari konser A Mild Live Soundrenaline saat itu. Lagu-lagu nya di ambil dari lima kota tempat berlangsungnya konser tersebut (Bali, Palembang, Bandung, Surabaya, dan Semarang). Slank juga mengajak vokalis Crowned King, Shawn Frank untuk berkolaborasi di lagu I Miss You But I hate You. Ada sedikit dokumentari di setiap clip nya.<o:p></o:p></span></div><h2 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Ajaran bernama SLANKISME</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Di penghujung tahun 2005, Slank kembali merilis sebuah album studio ke 14 nya yang diberi titel SLANKISSME.

Di beberapa lagu, Slank berkolaborasi dengan para bintang tamu. Konon, total lagu yang dimainkan Slank sepanjang konser tersebut adalah 40 lagu.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Slankissme sendiri adalah sebuah ambigu kalimat dari <b>Slank Kiss Me, Slank Is Me, dan Slankisme</b>. Bimbim menyebut bahwa ada <i>13 ajaran 'gak sempurna</i> dari Slankisme, dan itu harus diketahui oleh para Slanker, agar mengerti dan menjalani nya. Kenapa, karena memang kesempurnaan hanya milik Tuhan. Begitu kata Bimbim. Dan "tiga belas ajaran gak sempurna ini" dijadikan manifesto Slank, dan Bimbim selalu membacakan nya di saat Slank berkunjung ke suatu negara. Namun, Di dalam negeri pun Slank sering kali membacakan manifesto-nya tersebut. Single dari album ini adalah <b>SBY</b>, singkatan dari <i>Sosial Betawi Yoi</i>, dan dua tembang ballad nya, <b>Gak Ada 2nya</b> dan <b>Yang Manis</b> yang ketiga nya dibuat PV nya. Di lagu Kritis BBM dan Alami, Bimbim menciptakannya dalam satu hari. Slank bermain akustik di lagu Alami.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Di awal tahun 2006, Slank berangkat ke </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jepang" title="Jepang"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Jepang</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> untuk konser disana. Konser pada tanggal 2 January itu bertujuan untuk acara charity for Sumatra. Kemudian Slank gencar mempromosikan album baru nya. Baik dari live on air di televisi atau juga konser tour nya yang menjangkau 60 kota di Indonesia. Bisa dibilang ini adalah tahun tersibuk Slank, karena di tahun ini, selain promo album Slankissme, Slank juga menjalani tour di beberapa kota di Jawa Barat dan Banten dalam rangka konser Ngedjinggo Bareng Slank, lalu merilis Album Slank <b>Since 1983</b> di </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Malaysia" title="Malaysia"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Malaysia</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> dan promo di negara tersebut. Di Malaysia, Slank harus kerja keras dan mereka kelelahan karena harus interview di televisi, radio serta media cetak disana. Dan puncaknya adalah ketika Bimbim menolak seorang fans yang meminta foto bersama. Di tour Ngedjinggo Bareng Slank ini, setiap Slank mampir ke suatu kota, selalu saja mampir ke suatu tempat untuk kegiatan bhakti sosial, atau juga kegiatan lainnya yang melibatkan rakyat kecil dan juga kesenian dan budaya setempat. Slank juga masih sering tampil di televisi, lalu juga konser sebagai penutup di event musik terkenal Soundrenaline. Bukan hanya itu, Slank juga mampir ke Amerika untuk mengisi acara di 5 tempat live house di beberapa kota di Amerika. Slank di undang oleh para mahasiswa disana. Hal itu dijadikan kesempatan untuk membawa CD demo album Slank yang telah di translate ke bahasa Inggris agar albumnya bisa rilis di luar negeri dan go internasional. Untuk itulah Slank gencar mencari cara dan usaha agar bisa terbang dan bermain di sana. Kesempatan emas itu pun hadir tatkala Slank mengundang dua produser di konser mereka. Satu dari Amerika dan satu dari Kanada. </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Blues_Saraceno&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Blues Saraceno (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Blues Saraceno</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, mantan gitaris group band </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Poison&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Poison (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Poison</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> yang juga guru gitar Ridho ketika menuntut ilmu di </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Musician_Institute&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Musician Institute (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Musician Institute</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hollywood" title="Hollywood"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Hollywood</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, hadir sebagai produser yang ingin melihat aksi Slank. Dan satu lagi seorang produser dari Kanada yang juga hadir bersama vokalist dari group </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Crowned_King&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Crowned King (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Crowned King</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Shawn_Frank&action=edit&redlink=1" title="Shawn Frank (halaman belum tersedia)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Shawn Frank</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, yang pernah berkolaborasi dengan Slank ketika konser Soundrenaline tahun 2005 di Bali turut serta hadir jauh-jauh dari Kanada. Mereka berdua tertarik dan akhirnya Slank lebih memilih Blues Saraceno. Alasan Slank ingin berkarier di luar negeri karena mereka telah jenuh, dalam artian, hampir semuanya sudah pernah di raih oleh Slank di Indonesia. Makanya, Amerika dan dunia lah tujuan berikutnya Slank. Slank ingin kembali menjadi Underground, yang belum dikenal oleh siapa-siapa, yang belum terkenal. Inilah pertama kalinya Slank ke Amerika. Ketika di Las Vegas, Bimbim sempat membuat sebuah lagu yang hasilnya ada di album berikutnya dari Slank.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Tahun 2006 ditutup dengan sebuah pesta ulang tahun yang ke 23 berjudul 23rd Slank Indie Festival.

Ada dua panggung besar di ulang tahun ini.<o:p></o:p></span></div><h2 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Slank 'menjawab' Tantangan</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Tahun 2007 Slank kembali mengeluarkan album dengan titel </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_But_Sure" title="Slow But Sure"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Slow But Sure</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Inilah album yang bisa dibilang "jawaban" dari para pendengar musik terutama Slanker karena banyak sekali yang meminta Slank untuk bermain akustik/unplugged. Di album ini, Slank bermain sangat sederhana. Tidak ada bunyi bising. Yang ada hanyalah suara-suara bersahabat dari perkusi, gitar akustik dan selingan harmonika. Bimbim menyumbang satu lagu di lagu <b>Me & Reny</b> dan ada satu lagu yang diciptakan oleh Bimbim di Las Vegas pada tahun 2006 yang dimasukan ke album ini yaitu <b>Sin City</b>. Kemudian ada lagu <b>My Scooter Love</b> yag diciptakan oleh Kaka. Di lagu ini bahkan bisa didengar di akhir lagu suara </span><a href="http://id.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vespa" title="Vespa"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Vespa</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> Kaka. Ada juga lagu berjudul <b>Lapindo</b> yang mengkritisisasi semburan lumpur Lapindo di Sidoarjo. Sebelum lagu itu dimulai, Abdee berceramah sedikit terlebih dahulu. Namun lagu ini terkena sensor di bagian reff nya. Karena ada kata yang mungkin tidak seharusnya dicantumkan di album tersebut. Namun, jika lagu ini di putar di sebuah acara on air mingguan yang khusus memutar lagu-lagu Slank, lagu ini tidak di sensor. Dan ada sebuah hidden track di lagu ini berjudul <b>Lilo</b>. Lagu ini tidak terdapat di album tersebut tapi liriknya terdapat di booklet album. Lagu ini bisa didapatkan bila membeli software game Lilo. Single di lagu ini adalah <b>Cinta?</b>, <b>Slalu Begitu</b>, dan <b>Sejak Kau Benci</b>. Di versi VCD dan DVD semua lagu dibuat video klip nya. Bonus dari album ini adalah sebuah boxer.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Slank masih melanjutkan acara tour Ngedjinggo Bareng Slank nya di musim yang kedua ini bersamaan dengan promo album SLow But Sure. Slank kerap kali bermain dalam dua sesi, akustik dan elektrik. Bimbim kerap kali hanya duduk di sebuah koyak yang terbuat dari kayu, dan kayu itu dijadikan perkusi untuk mengiringi lagu. Ketika lagu <i>Me & Reny</i>, SLank melakukan change memebr. Kaka pindah ke drum dan Bimbim bermain gitar sambil bernyanyi.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Slank kemudian meraih hasil dari CD demo yang dibawa ke Amerika tahun 2006. Blues Saraceno bersedia untuk menjadi produser Slank untuk perilisan album internasional pertama nya. Slank yang biasanya tampil di semua kota dalam pergelaran musik Soundrenaline, tahun ini hanya mengambil jatah satu kota.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><br />
Hari-hari Slank di Amerika dimulai tanpa kehadiran Ridho yang harus menyusul seoang diri karena masalah visa. Nama aslinya yang ebrbau islami menjadi pertimbangan pihak Amerika untuk mengizinkan Ridho bisa ke Amerika. Maklum saja, paska isu terorist berkembang, Amerika selalu waspada dan sangat ketat dengan orang-orang yang berasal dari negara Arab.

Inspired by the positive reaction the duet got on the road and perhaps fueled by a budding romance between Lee and Morgan, the band headed into the studio and quickly recorded an alternate version of "Broken" with Amy Lee on vocals. The song, along with a new song titled "Sold Me", was featured on the soundtrack for the 2004 film <i>The Punisher</i> and was massively successful, bringing the band fame in the US, the UK and Australia in particular. Morgan has stated that the hit song relates an incident where the band was subjected to what the record company wanted rather than what the band wanted. </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disclaimer_II" title="Disclaimer II"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Disclaimer II</span></i></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, an alternate version of the original album with many of the songs remixed or re-recorded as well as eight extra tracks, was released in late 2004.<o:p></o:p></span></div><h3 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Karma and Effect</span></i></span><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">, <i>One Cold Night</i> (2005–2006)</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h3><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">In 2005, the band released their follow-up album </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Karma_and_Effect" title="Karma and

The other members of what was soon to be Paramore had been "edgy about the whole female thing" of having Williams as vocalist, but, because they were really good friends, she started writing for them. Williams said of the guys when she first met them, "They were the first people I met who were as passionate about music as I was." The band was officially formed by </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Josh_Farro" title="Josh Farro"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Josh Farro</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> (</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lead_guitar" title="Lead guitar"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">lead guitar</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">/</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Backing_vocals" title="Backing

When Davis showed up, he was stunned to find out the drummer was only twelve years old. He admitted "I had very, very, very, little faith in everyone in the band because of their age. I remember thinking, 'This is not going to work because this kid is way too young,' but that first day of practice was amazing. I knew we were on to something." According to Williams, the name "Paramore" came from the maiden name of the mother of one of their first bass players. Once the group learned the meaning of the homophone "</span><a href="http://en.wiktionary.org/wiki/paramour" title="wikt:paramour"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">paramour</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">" ("secret lover"), they decided to adopt the name, using the <i>Paramore</i> spelling. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Williams was originally signed to Atlantic Records as a solo artist in 2003. She had been introduced to Atlantic A&R Tom Storms through Kent Marcus and Jim Zumwalt, lawyers of managers Dave Steunebrink and Richard Williams, and then eventually signed to Atlantic by </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jason_Flom" title="Jason Flom"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Jason Flom</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Steunebrink and Richard Williams had originally discovered and signed her to a production deal that was later bought out by Atlantic. The original plan of the label was to turn her into a pop singer, but Williams resisted, saying that she wanted to play alternative rock music and wanted a band behind her. In an interview with </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/HitQuarters" title="HitQuarters"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">HitQuarters</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> the band's A&R at Atlantic, Steve Robertson, said, "She wanted to make sure that we didn’t look at her as some straight to Top 40 pop princess. She wanted to make sure that she and her band got the chance to show what they can do as a rock band writing their own songs."

In 2004, they were a featured band in Purple Door. At this time, they were touring the southeast, usually being driven by Williams' parents. She commented that "Back then, I guess we were all thinking, after school we'll go to the house and practice. It was what we loved to do for fun, and still do!

They also added "As we look back, and now as we look with excitement to the future, in all of this what truly matters are the good times. The pictures of us with our arms around each other, the long van rides, your faces while you sing along as we play. Thank you for getting us right here to this very moment.

He further accused Hayley Williams of being manipulated by her management, treating the rest of the group as her solo project, and claimed she was the only member of the band who was signed to Atlantic Records, while her bandmates were simply "riding on the coattails of her dream".<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">On December 30, 2010, </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV_News" title="MTV News"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">MTV News</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> interviewed Williams, York and Davis in </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franklin,_Tennessee" title="Franklin, Tennessee"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Franklin, Tennessee</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> regarding their reactions to Farro's response.

Paramore's first album <i>All We Know is Falling</i> had an arguably more "formulaic pop-punk" sound that was "delivered particularly well" and the combination of the two had created a "refined rock infused pop/punk album."

Because the music world's focus was redirected squarely at Seattle, No Doubt's album was not supported by the record label and considered a commercial failure for selling only 30,000 copies. The band embarked on a national tour in support of the album, though Interscope refused to support the tour. The band failed to bring the audiences that it had attracted in Southern California, and often found that <i>No Doubt</i> was not even available in the cities where it was playing. Eric Stefani began to withdraw from the group, vacillating between being in and out of the band.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">The band began work on its next album the next year, but Interscope rejected much of its material, and the band was paired with producer </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Matthew_Wilder" title="Matthew

As Nirvana's frontman, Kurt Cobain found himself referred to in the media as the "spokesman of a generation," with Nirvana being considered the "flagship band" of </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generation_X" title="Generation X"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Generation X</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Cobain was uncomfortable with the attention and placed his focus on the band's music, believing Nirvana's message and artistic vision to have been misinterpreted by the public. The third Nirvana studio album </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Utero_%28album%29" title="In

The pair eventually became friends while frequenting the practice space of the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Melvins" title="Melvins"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Melvins</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Cobain wanted to form a band with Novoselic, but Novoselic did not respond to his overtures, which included handing him a demo tape of his project </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fecal_Matter" title="Fecal
Matter"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Fecal Matter</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. Three years after the two first met, Novoselic notified Cobain that he had finally listened to the Fecal Matter demo Cobain had given him, and suggested they start a group. The pair recruited Bob McFadden on drums, but after a month the project fell apart. In winter of 1987, Cobain and Novoselic recruited drummer </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aaron_Burckhard" title="Aaron
Burckhard"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Aaron Burckhard</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. The trio practiced material from Cobain's Fecal Matter tape, but started writing new material soon after forming.</span><a href="file:///D:/BLOGKYUU/Nirvana_%28band%29.htm#cite_note-7"></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">During its initial months, the band went through a series of names, starting with Skid Row and including Pen Cap Chew, Bliss, and Ted Ed Fred. The group finally settled on Nirvana, which Cobain said was chosen because "I wanted a name that was kind of beautiful or nice and pretty instead of a mean, raunchy </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Punk_rock" title="Punk rock"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">punk rock</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> name like the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angry_Samoans" title="Angry Samoans"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Angry Samoans</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">".

Foster's tenure with Nirvana lasted only a few months; during a stint in jail, he was replaced by a returning Burckhard, who himself didn't stay with the band after telling Cobain he was too hung over to practice one day. Cobain and Novoselic put an ad in Seattle music publication </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Rocket_%28newspaper%29" title="The Rocket (newspaper)"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">The Rocket</span></i></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> seeking a replacement drummer which only yielded unsatisfactory responses.

Channing continued to jam with Cobain and Novoselic, although the drummer noted, "They never actually said 'Ok, you're in.'", and Channing played his first show with the group that May. <o:p></o:p></span></div><h3 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Early releases</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h3><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Nirvana released its first single, "</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Love_Buzz" title="Love Buzz"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Love Buzz</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">", in November 1988 on the Seattle </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Independent_record_label" title="Independent record label"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">independent record label</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sub_Pop" title="Sub Pop"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Sub Pop</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">.

Though Everman did not actually play on the album, he received a credit on <i>Bleach</i> because, according to Novoselic, they "wanted to make him feel more at home in the band".<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Following the release of <i>Bleach</i> in June 1989, Nirvana embarked on its first national tour, and the album became a favorite of </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/College_radio" title="College radio"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">college radio</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> stations nationally. Due to increasing dissatisfaction with Everman over the course of the tour, Nirvana canceled the last few dates and drove back to Washington. No one told Everman he was fired at the time, while Everman later claimed that he actually quit the group. In late 1989, the band recorded the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blew_%28EP%29" title="Blew (EP)"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Blew</span></i></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> EP with producer </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steve_Fisk" title="Steve Fisk"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Steve Fisk</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">In a late 1989 interview, Cobain noted that the band's music was changing. He said, "The early songs were really angry ... But as time goes on the songs are getting poppier and poppier as I get happier and happier. The songs are now about conflicts in relationships, emotional things with other human beings." In April 1990, the band began working with producer </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Butch_Vig" title="Butch Vig"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Butch Vig</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> at Smart Studios in </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Madison,_Wisconsin" title="Madison,

During the sessions, Cobain and Novoselic became disenchanted with Channing's drumming, and Channing expressed frustration at not being actively involved in songwriting. As bootlegs of Nirvana's demos with Vig began to circulate in the music industry and draw attention from major labels, Channing left the band. That July, the band recorded the single "</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliver_%28song%29" title="Sliver

Following repeated recommendations by Sonic Youth's </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kim_Gordon" title="Kim Gordon"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Kim Gordon</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, Nirvana signed to </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DGC_Records" title="DGC Records"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">DGC Records</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> in 1990. The band subsequently began recording its first major label album, <i>Nevermind</i>. The group was offered a number of producers to choose from, but ultimately held out for Butch Vig. Rather than recording at Vig's Madison studio as they had in 1990, production shifted to Sound City Studios in </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Van_Nuys,_Los_Angeles,_California" title="Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Van Nuys, Los Angeles, California</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. For two months, the band worked through a variety of songs in its catalog. Some of the songs, such as "</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/In_Bloom" title="In Bloom"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">In Bloom</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">" and "Breed", had been in Nirvana's repertoire for years, while others, including "</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/On_a_Plain" title="On

After the recording sessions were completed, Vig and the band set out to mix the album. However, the recording sessions had run behind schedule and the resulting mixes were deemed unsatisfactory. </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slayer" title="Slayer"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Slayer</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> mixer </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Wallace_%28producer%29" title="Andy Wallace (producer)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Andy Wallace</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> was brought in to create the final mix. After the album's release, members of Nirvana expressed dissatisfaction with the polished sound the mixer had given <i>Nevermind</i>. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Initially, DGC Records was hoping to sell 250,000 copies of <i>Nevermind</i>, which was the same level they had achieved with Sonic Youth's </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Goo_%28album%29" title="Goo (album)"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Goo</span></i></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. However, the album's first single "</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smells_Like_Teen_Spirit" title="Smells Like Teen Spirit"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Smells Like Teen Spirit</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">" quickly gained momentum, thanks in part to significant airplay of the song's music video on </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV" title="MTV"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">MTV</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. As it toured Europe during late 1991, the band found that its shows were dangerously oversold, that television crews were becoming a constant presence onstage, and that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was almost omnipresent on radio and music television. By Christmas 1991, <i>Nevermind</i> was selling 400,000 copies a week in the US. In January 1992, the album displaced </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michael_Jackson" title="Michael

The month <i>Nevermind</i> reached number one, <i>Billboard</i> proclaimed, "Nirvana is that rare band that has everything: critical acclaim, industry respect, pop radio appeal, and a rock-solid college/alternative base." The success of <i>Nevermind</i> not only popularized grunge, but also established "the cultural and commercial viability of alternative rock in general".<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Citing exhaustion, Nirvana decided not to undertake another U.S. tour in support of <i>Nevermind</i>, instead opting to make only a handful of performances later that year. In March 1992, Cobain sought to reorganize the group's songwriting royalties (which to this point had been split equally) so that they were more representative of the fact that he wrote the majority of the music. Grohl and Novoselic did not object to Cobain's request, but when the frontman asked for the agreement to be retroactive to the release of <i>Nevermind</i>, the disagreements between the two sides claim close to breaking up the band. After a week of tension, Cobain ended up receiving a retroactive share of 75 percent of the royalties, and bad feelings about the situation remained within the group afterward. Amid rumors that the band was disbanding due to Cobain's health, Nirvana headlined the closing night of England's 1992 </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reading_Festival" title="Reading

Nirvana's performance at Reading is often regarded by the press as one of the most memorable of the group's career. A few days later, Nirvana performed at the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV_Video_Music_Awards" title="MTV

A joint venture between DGC and Sub Pop, <i>Incesticide</i> collected various rare Nirvana recordings and was intended to provide the material for a better price and at better quality than was available via bootleg copies.

While there was speculation that the band chose Albini to record the album due to his underground credentials, Cobain insisted that Albini's sound was simply the one he had always wanted Nirvana to have: a "natural" recording without layers of studio trickery.

A week later, on Friday, April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead of a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head at his Seattle home.<o:p></o:p></span></div><h3 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Aftermath and posthumous releases</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h3><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">In August 1994, DGC announced that a double album titled <i>Verse Chorus Verse</i> featuring live material from throughout the group's career on one CD and its <i>MTV Unplugged</i> performance on another was due for release that November. However, Novoselic and Grohl found assembling the live material so soon after Cobain's death to be too emotionally overwhelming.

The following year, <i>MTV Unplugged in New York</i> earned Nirvana a </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award" title="Grammy Award"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Grammy Award</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> for </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grammy_Award_for_Best_Alternative_Music_Album" title="Grammy Award for Best Alternative Music Album"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Best Alternative Music Album</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">.

A 45-track box set of Nirvana rarities was scheduled for release in October 2001. However, shortly before the release date, Love filed a suit to dissolve Nirvana LLC, and an injunction was issued preventing the release of any new Nirvana material until the case was resolved. Love contended that Cobain was the band, that Grohl and Novoselic were sidemen, and that she signed the partnership agreement originally under bad advice. Grohl and Novoselic countersued, asking the court to remove Love from the partnership and to replace her with another representative of Cobain's estate.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">The day before the case was set to go to trial in October 2002, Love, Novoselic, and Grohl announced that they had reached a settlement. The settlement paved the way for the release of the compilation album </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nirvana_%28album%29" title="Nirvana
(album)"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Nirvana</span></i></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, which featured the previously unreleased track "</span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/You_Know_You%27re_Right" title="You Know You're Right"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">You Know You're Right</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">", the last song Nirvana recorded before Cobain's death. <i>Nirvana</i> was released later that month, debuting at number three on the <i>Billboard</i> album chart. The box set, </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/With_the_Lights_Out" title="With the

The release contained a vast array of early Cobain demos, rough rehearsal recordings, and live tracks recorded throughout the band's history. </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sliver:_The_Best_of_the_Box" title="Sliver: The Best of the Box"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Sliver: The Best of the Box</span></i></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, which culled 19 tracks from the box set in addition to featuring three previously unreleased tracks, was released in late 2005. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">In April 2006, Love announced that she had arranged to sell 25 percent of her stake in the Nirvana song catalog in a deal estimated at $50 million. The share of Nirvana's publishing was purchased by Primary Wave Music, which was founded by Larry Mestel, a former CEO of </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virgin_Records" title="Virgin
Records"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Virgin Records</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. In an accompanying statement, Love sought to assure Nirvana's fanbase that the music would not simply be licensed to the highest bidder, noting, "We are going to remain very tasteful and true to the spirit of Nirvana while taking the music to places it has never been before." Further releases have since been made. This includes the DVD releases of <i>Live! Tonight! Sold Out!!</i> in 2006, and the full, uncut version of <i>MTV Unplugged in New York</i> in 2007. The band's performance at the 1992 Reading Festival was released on both CD and DVD as </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Live_at_Reading" title="Live at
Reading"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Live at Reading</span></i></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> in November 2009. That same month, Sub Pop released a 20th anniversary deluxe edition of <i>Bleach</i>, which included a previously unreleased live concert from 1990. <o:p></o:p></span></div><h2 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Musical style</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Cobain described the sound of Nirvana when it first started as "a </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gang_of_Four_%28band%29" title="Gang
of Four (band)"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Gang of Four</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> and </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scratch_Acid" title="Scratch Acid"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Scratch Acid</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> ripoff". When Nirvana recorded <i>Bleach</i>, Cobain felt he had to fit the expectations of the Sub Pop grunge sound to build a fanbase, and hence suppressed his arty and pop songwriting traits while crafting the record in favor of a more rocking sound. Nirvana biographer Michael Azerrad argued, "Ironically, it was the restrictions of the Sub Pop sound helped the band find its musical identity". Azerrad stated that by acknowledging that its members had grown up listening to </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Sabbath" title="Black Sabbath"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Black Sabbath</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> and </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aerosmith" title="Aerosmith"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Aerosmith</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, the band was able to move on from its derivative early sound. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Cobain sought to mix heavy and pop musical sounds; he commented, "I wanted to be totally </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Led_Zeppelin" title="Led Zeppelin"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Led Zeppelin</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> in a way and then be totally extreme punk rock and then do real wimpy pop songs". When Cobain heard the </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixies" title="Pixies"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Pixies</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">'s 1988 album </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Surfer_Rosa" title="Surfer Rosa"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Surfer Rosa</span></i></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> after recording <i>Bleach</i>, he felt it had the sound he wanted to achieve but until then was too imitated to try. The Pixies' subsequent popularity encouraged Cobain to follow his instincts as a songwriter.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Nirvana utilized dynamic shifts that went from quiet to loud. Like the Pixies, Nirvana moved between "spare bass-and-drum grooves and shill bursts of screaming guitar and vocals". Near the end of his life, Cobain noted the band had become bored by the formula, finding it limited, but expressed doubts that the band was skilled enough to try other dynamics. Cobain's rhythm guitar style, which relied on power chords, low-note riffs, and a loose right-hand technique, featured the key components to the band’s songs. Cobain would often initially play a song's verse riff in a clean tone, then double it with distorted guitars when he repeated the part. Cobain rarely played standard guitar solos, opting to play slight variations of the song's melody as single note lines. Cobain's solos were mostly blues-based and out of tune, which music writer Jon Chappell described as "almost an iconoclastic parody of the traditional instrumental break".<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Grohl's drumming "took Nirvana's sound to a new level of intensity". Azerrad stated that Grohl's "powerful drumming propelled the band to a whole new plane, visually as well as musically", noting, "Although Dave is a merciless basher, his parts are also distinctly musical—it wouldn't be difficult to figure out what song he was playing even without the rest of the music."<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">During live performances, Cobain and Novoselic would always tune their guitars to E flat. Cobain noted that "We play so hard we can't tune our guitars fast enough."</span><a href="file:///D:/BLOGKYUU/Nirvana_%28band%29.htm#cite_note-cheaptricks-86"></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> The band made a habit of destroying its equipment after shows. Novoselic said he and Cobain created the "schtick" in order to get off of the stage sooner. Cobain stated it began as an expression of his frustration with Chad Channing making mistakes and dropping out entirely during performances.<o:p></o:p></span></div><h3 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Songwriting and lyrics</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h3><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Everett True said in 1989, "Nirvana songs treat the banal and pedestrian with a unique slant." Cobain came up with the basic components of each song (usually writing them on an acoustic guitar), as well as the singing style and the lyrics. He emphasized that Novoselic and Grohl "have a big part in deciding on how long a song should be and how many parts it should have. So I don't like to be considered the sole songwriter." When asked which part of the songs he would write first, Cobain responded, "I don’t know. I really don’t know. I guess I start with the verse and then go into the chorus."<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Cobain usually wrote lyrics for songs minutes before recording them. Cobain said, "When I write a song the lyrics are the least important subject. I can go through two or three different subjects in a song and the title can mean absolutely nothing at all." Cobain told </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spin_%28magazine%29" title="Spin
(magazine)"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Spin</span></i></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> in 1993 that he "didn't give a flying fuck" what the lyrics on <i>Bleach</i> were about, figuring "Let's just scream some negative lyrics and as long as they're not sexist and don't get too embarrassing it'll be okay", while the lyrics to <i>Nevermind</i> were taken from two years of poetry he had accumulated, which he cut up and chose lines he preferred from. In comparison, Cobain stated that the lyrics to <i>In Utero</i> were "more focused, they're almost built on themes".<o:p></o:p></span></div><h2 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">Band members</span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2><ul type="disc"><li class="MsoNormal" style="color: #c00000; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: black;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Cobain" title="Kurt

Soul"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Blues & Soul</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, Ne-Yo explained the thinking behind its title: "To me 'Year Of The Gentleman' is all about a persona, a swag and a charm. I made an assessment of the music business. And, in my personal opinion, the essence of the gentleman is absent right now. Everybody kinda looks the same, everybody's kinda doing the same thing, everybody's kinda rude and full of themselves. Whereas a gentleman is calm, courteous, kind, charming... So that title basically represents me trying to lead by example, and showing these cats what it is to be a gentleman in this business still." <o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">The album sold 250,000 copies in its first week in the United States, debuting on the <i>Billboard</i> 200 at number two.

They asked Chris Wolstenholme – who played the drums at the time – to learn to play bass guitar for the band; the other original members of Gothic Plague left after Bellamy suggested that they write their own songs rather than doing covers. Wolstenholme agreed and took up lessons, while Bellamy had to become singer and songwriter for the band.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Matt and Dom's first band name was Gothic Plague.

of
the bands"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">battle of the bands</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">. The band won the contest, smashing their equipment in the process. "It was supposed to be a protest, a statement," Bellamy said, "so, when we actually won, it was a real shock, a massive shock. After that, we started taking ourselves seriously." Shortly after the contest, the three decided to forget university, quit their jobs, change the band name to Muse (1994–1995), and move away from Teignmouth. The name "Muse" was inspired by Matt Bellamy's art teacher. The art teacher Samuel Theoun mentioned the word "Muses". Matt then looked it up in the dictionary and decided to shorten it to "Muse." It was also used because it was short and the members felt it looked good on a poster. <o:p></o:p></span></div><h3 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;">1998–2000: First EPs and <i>Showbiz</i></span></span><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h3><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">After a few years building a fan base, Muse played their first gigs in London and </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Manchester" title="Manchester"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Manchester</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">.

After the festival, the band described the concert as "the best gig of our lives". However, drummer Dominic Howard's father, William Howard, who was at the festival to watch the band, died from a heart attack very shortly after the performance. "It was the biggest feeling of achievement we've ever had after coming offstage", Bellamy said. "It was almost surreal that an hour later his dad died. It was almost not believable. We spent about a week sort of just with Dom trying to support him. I think he was happy that at least his dad got to see him at probably what was the finest moment so far of the band's life". The single Butterflies & Hurricanes was dedicated to Dom's dad. Muse then continued their tour. They won two MTV Europe awards, including "Best Alternative Act" and a Q Award for "Best Live Act".

During the second single's filming, band members Gerard Way and Bob Bryar were injured. Way suffered torn ligaments in his ankle, and Bryar a burn to the leg which caused a severe staph infection that needed constant monitoring in hospital. Consequently, the band was forced to cancel a few tour dates. While these injuries were reported by several news agencies to have been the result of a car accident, a statement released by the band on their website and </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MySpace" title="MySpace"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">MySpace</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> page confirmed that these injuries occurred on the set of the video. <o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">On August 22, 2006, the band played a special one-off show at the 1800-capacity London </span><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hammersmith_Palais" title="Hammersmith Palais"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Hammersmith Palais</span></a><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">.

The name of the album they promoted was announced and 20 people dressed in black capes with their faces obscured paraded around Hammersmith, followed by a large group of fans and street team members with signs saying The Black Parade. Later during the show the album title and the UK release date were confirmed. Before the band took the stage, it was announced that My Chemical Romance were unable to play, but they would be replaced by The Black Parade. After initial crowd hostility it became clear the band were simply performing under a pseudonym in keeping with the theme of the album.<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:The_Black_Parade_escenario.jpg"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12pt; line-height: 150%; text-decoration: none;"><!--[if gte vml 1]><v:shape

In an interview with PopEater, Way also stated that the next album will be "full of hate." He has also said "Over the years that we've been hearing ourselves live and hearing us on records, we kind of prefer the live. There's more of a garage feel and more energy.

This tour marked the beginning of the heavy theatrics later showcased in any of their live shows. Gerard Way expressed his plans for the tour in an interview with MTV, "We'd talked about bringing out dancers for our headlining tour in the fall, but it's a big undertaking; you have to have a bus full of dancers. We've always wanted to do a big theatrical tour. But you have to do it in steps".

Even still, the only songs of their repertoire that showcased the band's new direction were "Sunday Morning" and the soon-to-be-written "She Will Be Loved"—neither of which the label approved of as a first single. The band toured for a full year before entering the studio with producer Matt Wallace. Levine's frustration with Berkman's demands for a lead single inspired him to write just that—a song called "Harder to Breathe".<o:p></o:p></span></div><h3 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><i><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Songs About Jane</span></i></span><span class="mw-headline"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"> and Dusick's departure (2002–2006)</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h3><div align="center" class="MsoNormal" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Main article: </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Songs_About_Jane" title="Songs AboutJane"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri;">Songs About Jane</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="background: #F9F9F9; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">“Between the time that we started making the album [<i>Songs About Jane</i>] in 2001 and the time the album reached the crest of its success in 2004, we went from being starving musicians wondering what the future held to riding a wave of success beyond our wildest expectations.”—Ryan Dusick, Maroon 5's original drummer, who officially left the band in 2006 due to injuries sustained from constant touring<o:p></o:p></span></div><div align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Maroon 5 was constantly on tour, after releasing their album in mid-2002.

Padahal tidak. Mereka bahkan sedang bekerja pada album studio keempat mereka. Lagi-lagi Rick Rubin yang menjadi produsernya. Sampai pada Bulan November 2009, mereka sedang fokus pada 5 lagu, setelah sebelumnya terdapat 60 lagu demo, kemudian disaring menjadi 20. Durasinya pun akan lebih panjang dari lagu-lagu Linkin Park lain pada umumnya (sekitar 4-5 menit). Dan, untuk ke depannya, setelah album keempat dirilis, Linkin Park berjanji akan berusaha mengeluarkan album barunya lebih cepat. A Thousand Suns, inilah nama album keempat Linkin Park.

At first, the group rejected the idea, but later, with no alternate names, the group selected the name "Corn". Later, Shaffer suggested spelling their name with a "K" instead of a "C", and Shaffer came up with the idea to reverse the "R", so the band's name would appear as "Ko</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000;">Я</span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">n".

The band began playing a prelude to a later song, "Clown" resulting in a larger crowd gathering. Arvizu said the crowd gathered because it sounded so "different." Korn started performing at gigs in the summer of 1993, with members saying that touring was a "pain-in-the-ass." While in Huntington Beach, the band was spotted by Epic/Immortal Records A&R employee Paul Pontius. Pontius would describe Korn's sound as "the new genre of rock." In 1993, Korn released their first </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demo_album" title="Demo album"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">demo album</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">, </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neidermeyer%27s_Mind" title="Neidermeyer's Mind"><i><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Neidermeyer's Mind</span></i></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">.

During its first full week, <i>Take a Look in the Mirror</i> soared ten places from number 19 to number nine, bringing the album's total sales to 179,000. It is the first album where Korn produced the album themselves. The band explained that they want fans to hear the music as it should be. The album presented different styles and themes compared to previous albums. Lead vocalist Jonathan Davis related: "The whole album is about love, hate and my hate of people and just losing my mind. The previous albums I did, I think the last three, I was coming from a place of hurt. And I just finally got to the point where I'm done hurting and I'm just pissed off about it now. It's turned back to just sheer hate and anger.

Kesha's lawyer, Charles Ortner, stated that David Sonenberg and DAS were seeking commissions on Kesha's record deal that they "had nothing to do with, long after she terminated him in writing." Kesha launched her own lawsuit in August, motioning to dismiss the case on the grounds that it was her right to fire the management when they did not perform.

People are like, 'Do you really advocate brushing your teeth with bourbon?' I'm like, 'Yes, actually, I do, every day, for everybody. Especially eight year olds.' I mean, what are you talking about? Of course I don't. Come on." Kesha has also expressed frustration at the double standard for the objectification of women in music. Thus, in songs such as "Blah Blah Blah" and "Boots and Boys", she makes it a point to sing the same way men traditionally sing about women.<o:p></o:p></span></div><h2 align="center" style="line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span class="mw-headline"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;">Public image</span></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus; font-size: 12.0pt; line-height: 150%;"><o:p></o:p></span></h2><div align="center" style="background: #F9F9F9; line-height: 150%; text-align: center;"><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">[The] reason I have (the dollar sign), [is] ’cause it’s ironic.

I've gotten drunk before but never gotten a DUI. I don't go to clubs. I try not to let my vagina hang out.

She told her initial collaborator that she had decided to work with Ballard. The producer arranged a meeting for her and Ballard in Los Angeles. Perry presented him a song, and a day later she was called. Ballard developed Perry for a few years.Perry described her music by saying, "Someone kind of penned it for me the other day, and I've been using it ever since."According to her, she has "changed a lot between the ages of 15 to 23." Her first album dwells on Gospel music. She related that her perspective in music was "a bit enclosed and very strict", and everything she did was church-related. Her second album, <i>One of the Boys</i>, is described as "secular" and "rock," and reflects a departure from her religious musical roots.Perry expects to record more pop songs for her next album.Perry is artistically involved in her projects, especially in the writing process. Since she could play guitar, she would start writing songs at home and present it to her producers. Perry is mostly inspired by specific moments of her life. She said it is easy for her to write songs about heartbreak Most of the themes in <i>One of the Boys</i> deal with heartbreak, teen adventure, and "puking into toilets".

Long before he released his EP, <i>My World</i>, in mid-November, the YouTube videos attracted millions of views."Braun recognized the appeal. Prior to flying him to Atlanta, Braun wanted to "build him up more on YouTube first" and had Bieber record more home videos for the channel. "I said: 'Justin, sing like there’s no one in the room. But let's not use expensive cameras.' We'll give it to kids, let them do the work, so that they feel like it's theirs," recalled Braun.Bieber continues to upload videos to the same channel and has opened a </span><span lang="EN-US"><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Twitter" title="Twitter"><span style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;">Twitter</span></a></span><span lang="EN-US" style="color: #c00000; font-family: Papyrus;"> account, from which he interacts with fans regularly;his account was reported in November 2010 to have over 6 million followers.The accounts also serve marketing purposes; for example, Bieber's music video for "One Time" only began selling quickly after it was uploaded to YouTube.Usher comments that while he and Bieber were both signed at the same age, "I had the chance to ramp up my success, where this has happened to Bieber abruptly." As a result, Usher, Braun, Bieber's bodyguard Kenny, and other adults surrounding Bieber constantly coach him on handling fame and his public image. After signing Bieber, Usher appointed one of his former assistants, Ryan Good, to be Bieber's road manager and stylist. Good, once nicknamed Bieber's "swagger coach", created a "streetwise look" for the singer which consisted of baseball caps, hoodies, dog chains and flashy sneakers.
