The Tragic True Story Of Sugar Ray

[@sx2ap]

That story wasn't that tragic. Listen, dude is still alive. That alone is a blessing. Good for him.

[@isabellind1292]

He shouldn't have to defend his music. If someone doesn't like someone's music, fine...move on. There's lots to choose from. I wish him well. And look at him w/his beautiful dog! 💓🎵🐕

[@thatrobloxdev2]

This man is 45 I saw them September first. but truly he is still blessed to be alive

[@Philmoscowitz]

Yup, and he's also still a multi-millionaire.

[@pattyblair8619]

I agree, Tragic doesn't fit.

[@boke75]

What's tragic ? That the band fell apart by 2003 ? They still sold about 10 millions albums worldwide and had a pretty decent 15-year run (all-original members).

[@Fofolamelame7189]

The 90s was the golden era for music no doubt I’m so glad to have grown up in the 90s best times ever

It's sad that you think the 90s were the golden era of rock music.

Yes🎉❤

[@fernandoalegria4240]

@@jiooki-lt9id Please, the 90s were the last gasp of good music. The 50s, 60s, 70s, and 80s were the Golden Era of real music, real voices, real artist. Now, all computer crap.

Sugar Ray was a fun feel good band.. it was a young guy's time and just being a bit care free feeling.. No bad memories about them whatsoever.. Thanks Sugar Ray 👍🏻

[@katjagolden893]

Mark is soooo right, I miss going and buying an albums. CDs don’t feel the same thing. The last album I ever bought was “Back to the Future.” I was trying to buy the cassette tape but the store was all out so I bought the album.

[@JRPLawyeress1]

My kids grew up in the 1990s. They played 14:59 so much I learned all the songs. It reminds me of happy summers in Southern California. That album alone was worth it. LA Times has always been snotty. I give them no credit. His kids will be proud to have such a cool dad. That’s all just a toxic environment dealing with the record companies. The Rolling Stones and Beatles are 1960s bands. They’re nostalgia. Like Jimmy Buffett, although different genres, Sugar Ray brings you to a happy place.

[@leesashriber5097]

I always liked them. I remember seeing them and the Goo Goo Dolls in concert in 1999. It was a great concert. He's been thru a lot but I don't think it's tragic. We all have valleys and peaks. He's still here. Still worth quite a bit of money and each day is a blessing for all of us. 😊

[@freakbaby6981]

I saw them with the Goo Goo Dolls, Fastball opened.

[@joshenold-nerman9500]

​@@freakbaby6981that was my first"rock" show. Saw them at 32nd navy base in San Diego. One of my fave memories.

[@brettglenn9328]

I've always absolutely loved this band! From Floored to In the Pursuit of Leisure......that 4 album stint was amazing and I don't care what anybody says they absolutely had talent. I will always be a fan of those 4 albums and will always give them credit for defining sounds of the late 90s early 2000s......and I look at that nostalgia In a very positive light. I so wish he would continue his touring with other bands from that era......we had the pleasure of seeing them play with Soul Asylum, Smash mouth and others .....it was awesome!

[@erinjohnson-foster2357]

I am so excited to get to see sugar ray tonight ❤

[@cautionTosser]

I also miss the tangible side of the industry. Album artwork alone was something worth waiting for. I also miss playing a whole album because it was just too much hassle to get up and change it. lol. that and you wanted to get the feel of the entire album. So much so that sometimes even to this day if I hear a song from what I consider a concept album, then I almost feel incomplete not hearing the song that comes right after.

[@bushwickbundy6569]

So order a CD then, it's not impossible. Or, shit, buy their stuff and burn it. Then you're not pirating so long as u don't start bootlegging... obviously joking lol

[@queazy03]

Mainly knew them for their songs in the 2000s, loved them. Sad to hear that they didn't chart after 2004

[@channingchills]

Tragic? These guys put out four records in a row that had at least one #1 hit. Literally got to open for The Rolling Stones. All 5 of the original band members are alive, and involved in music one one way or another. The original bassist, Murphy Karges, has a bass ass YT @BassWithMurf. Stan, drums, is a restauranteur. The sound faded, that’s all. It took acts like Sugar Ray, 311, and GLove with them. I still dig it.

[@douglasmijangos3327]

Him getting shit for defending his “Gay Friends” should’ve been praised and not look at as something bad .. regardless of your beliefs.. even if you like or dislike or don’t have an opinion on people’s sex,gender,race,religion or whatever differences you have .. he defended his friends so I think it’s a noble thing to do..🤷🏻‍♂️

I don't get this. It's not a "tragedy". I don't get the criticism of his music. Lord knows some of the garbage crap that other bands, including many hip hop groups of the 90s, were somehow considered "music" at the time; why did they get a free pass when compared to Sugar Ray? Oh Lord, he gave a nod to Mike Tyson in one of his songs. Heaven forbid!
