What is up with the Coal Chamber hatred?
I don’t hate them. I’m just lumping them in with every other 1998-2001 pile of generic butt bands with all the zippers and vinyl and mesh tops and goofy make up and things that glow and songs that I can’t distinguish from every other band that was around at that time. I don’t hate any of the bands in this thread. How can I hate them when I haven’t the faintest idea who they are or what is supposedly unique about them?
I admit, the two guys in the center of the pic do look kinda generic. But Dez (due on the far left) stood out. At least to me. He doesn’t look like that anymore. He now fronts a band called Devildriver and looks more like a typical metalhead. I’m sure that band would make you miss Coal Chamber. Sad story on how they broke up. One of the few bands torn apart by meth.

I didn’t know that.
Which of 'em were tweakers?
The only names I remember are Meegs Rascon and Dez Fafara, mainly because the names were unusual and Meegs at the time was BC Rich’s poster bow with all his stupid translucent day-glo Mockingbirds.
I never listened to them but I decided I would never like them when I read an interview with them and Meegs (wearing one of those stupid nose-to-earing chains and looking like a Hot Topic hurricane victim) described their music as SPOOKY-CORE. Seriously? Spooky-core? Uggh!
Spooky Core? Well that made me lose some respect. Mikey “Bug” Cox (drums, left center) and Meegs (guitar, right center) got into meth. Rayna (hot blonde bass player) left after finding God and her replacement Nadja I think joined Meegs and Mikey for the meth craze. I think Jay Gordon from Orgy introduced them all to meth. There was also the infamous fight on stage between Dez and Meegs which was the beginning of the end. I think Meegs went after Dez with his guitar!
Coal Chamber did a mini reunion tour for some australian music festival so I’m guessing they’re all clean. I know Meegs is. He joined Devildriver on stage one night to do Coal Chamber’s breakout hit “Loco.” But that’s the last I heard from them. People used to call them a Korn knockoff. I never got the comparison til I heard Coal Chamber’s last album Dark Days. Sounds like a weaker version of Korn’s album Issues. The only song that didn’t sound like Korn was the first single from the album “Fiend”
Ineteresting. I didn’t know about any of this. Is that infamous fight available on YouTube?

How deviant are we? I thought the same thing. Ha!

Sadly no. It came up as I was typing it, but no videos. I know after the fight one of them got on the mic and said “This is the last Coal Chamber show,” but not long after they were on Carson Daly’s late night show. I can’t find the interview but Dez went on about how they’re an intense band.
Here’s a recent interview. They still look the fucking same!

Haha! Meegs is still rockin’ the Jane Childs / Rachel Bolan nose-to-ear chain. It was a little edgier in 19-eighty-f**kin-eight, though, sorry.
Meegs has total tweaker teeth.

Wow, someone else that knows of that band? I’d never heard of them until my wife busted out their cd a few months back to share the cringeworthiness with me. HAHA.
I’m definitely gonna look up pics of these goofballs. The comments in this thread are absolute gold.
This band has always been guilty pleasure of mine, I still spin Felons and Revolutionaries every few months.
Yeah if living in the past is your thing.
Might as well be the next “dick”head and the turd bombs. On everyone artist page, “what guitar is that?” “What keyboard is that?” “I need to continue my shitty shlock.”
Dressing up like some trailer trashed, Manson twat from the 90s. Would suck off Kayne, as it would only get him closer to Mr Marilyn himself…
Right!!! “Dick”head still dresses like this. While these guys in DOPE… not so much.

The sex offenders were press ones. Edsel made that clear. Also: https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=zRb_SobRMO8
They seriously look like 5 of the same guy. Dude in the middle is like, “I’m the singer, though, so make me stand out as different!”
“So, like, a Bret Michaels version of the same?”
“YES! Exactly!!!”
I wonder where Bret Michaels buys his wigs…
