N.W.A.

N.W.A., short for Niggaz With Attitudes, was started in 1986 by Eazy-E (Eric Wright), Dr. Dre (Andre Wright), MC Ren (Lorenzo Patterson), Ice Cube (O'Shea Jackson), and DJ Yella (Antoine Carraby). The deal was not to crank out the same type of danceable radio-friendly pop records that could easily get airplay, but instead to push the envelope of profanity, violence, and all that "normal society" deemed as decent.

Ice Cube left the group after the release of the first album, Straight Outta Compton, over a financial dispute, and started a solo career. Instead of buckling, NWA went on to record the EP 100 Miles And Runnin' which was immediately followed up with Efil4zaggin. Soon after, however, the group split, each member going their own separate way.

New Monkees

In the mid-1980s, Columbia Pictures Television decided to take a stab at creating a new version of the Monkees. Enter Larry, Dino, Jared, and Marty -- the New Monkees. Set in an old, strange mansion, the new show tried to follow the old Monkees format of nutty hijinks interspersed with musical numbers. Unfortunately, it failed miserably and was cancelled after 13 episodes. Fifteen years later, though, it is still remembered fondly by a small body of fans.

New Pornographers, The

New York Dolls

From The Death of Rock 'n' Roll: Untimely Demises, Morbid Preoccupations, and Premature Forecasts of Doom in Pop Music by Jeff Pike (Faber & Faber):

The New York Dolls emerged in the post-rock pre-punk early-'70s welter of glam-rock, championing trash, androgyny, old-fashioned rock'n'roll, drugs, and fun. They were much loved as a live act but somehow the point never quite made it to vinyl. Still, they knew their place and worked it well -- singer David Johansen looked back to Mick Jagger and forward to Axl Rose, while his compadre Johnny Thunders did the same with Keith Richards and Slash. They had that seductive, unruly, swaggering poise about them; that much, anyway, has survived.

As with the Glimmer Twins (and as may happen yet with Rose and Slash), it was ultimately the guitar player who earned the most credibility and won the most enduring status as a legend. Of course, that legend has all too often been related as much to heroin addiction as to guitar playing, but still, Johnny Thunders (born John Genzale) was an incredibly ferocious performer when he was on the beam. And he was otherwise about as aimless as it gets. The Replacements' sardonic, hardly prescient "Johnny's Gonna Die" from 1981 covers the main points. In the mid-'70s, after the Dolls broke up, Thunders cemented his reputation with Richard Hell in the Heartbreakers (no relation to Tom Petty's group of the same name), consistently reeling off memorable knockout performances, even through the nod. Punk-rockers everywhere -- particularly British punk-rockers -- loved it and flocked to see him for years. But in the end, his body was found in a New Orleans hotel room, dead of a drug overdose, with alcohol and methadone nearby in the room. It was 1991, and the question was not why he died but how he had lived so long. He was thirty-eight.

Billy Murcia, the original drummer for the New York Dolls, didn't last long. On the group's first tour of England in 1972, he mixed alcohol and drugs and suffered an overdose. All night long, reportedly, his girlfriend worked to keep him awake and alive -- evidently she never thought to seek medical assistance -- walking him continually around their hotel flat, putting him into a bathtub of cold water, and forcing black coffee into him. To no avail. The official cause of death was suffocation. He had drowned on the coffee, or choked, more likely, though "drowned," which reportedly appears on the death certificate, tends to dignify just a little the whole sorry episode. He was twenty-one.

The Dolls' long-term drummer, Jerry Nolan (a Charlie Watts in his own fashion), who came in to replace Murcia, stayed with the group until the end, then went on to join Thunders and Hell in the Heartbreakers. Nolan died in 1992 of a stroke after undergoing treatment for pneumonia and meningitis, age forty-five.

Nine Inch Nails

This category is for sites about Trent Reznor and Nine Inch Nails.
Nine Inch Nails contains only one official member, Trent Reznor, though it features a number of other musicians in when on tour. Already popular after a stint on the first Lollapalooza tour in 1991, Nine Inch Nails and Trent Reznor became a huge commercial and critical success with 1994's multi-platinum album "The Downward Spiral" and helped make industrial music popular during the 90s. In 1999, Nine Inch Nails released the double album, "The Fragile", to great critical acclaim, but less than stellar sales.

After touring to support "The Fragile" and releasing a "live" DVD and audio disc called "And All That Could Have Been" in 2001, Reznor took a lengthy break to deal with personal issues. He re-emerged in 2005 with Nine Inch Nails newest release, With_Teeth.

In addition to his work as/with Nine Inch Nails, Trent Reznor produced Marilyn Manson's second album, "Antichrist Superstar," and produced soundtrack albums for the films Lost Highway and Natural Born Killers.
