T-Ride

T-Ride were one of the best bands to come out of the 1990s. Not your typical 90s music though, T-Ride were not a grunge band. Instead, they played metal! Hair metal if you like. But with a complexity that few other bands could muster. Sure you may listen to the likes of Metallica, Megadeath, Anthrax, Sepultura, Suicidal Tendencies who tried to play faster, louder, more insane music than before. And all these bands delivered great music, but few could muster the kind of tight syncopation and complex musical interweaving that T-Ride did. And with only 3 members in the band.

T-Ride's fate though was not in rock stardom. They burst onto the scene with a critically acclaimed album and then dissappeared just as fast. Their band members moving on to other projects and producing gigs. The money just wasn't there for the second album because grunge had hit the scene and T-Ride just weren't playing grunge!
