The band has proven to be stronger than dirt, hanging around long enough to acquire the wealth and fame they so richly deserve.

Like most rock and roll bands the kids met in Los Angeles at their high school, Fairfax High, and the early band name was Tony Flow and the Majestic Masters of Mayhem. The band lowest moment came with the death of original guitarist and founding member Hillel Slovak who died of a heroin overdose in 1988.
