Additional notes
They started out as a punk band, which became a crossover/thrash band, and then turned into their modern sound, blending heavy metal with Southern rock and blues. The band has gone on hiatus three times, in the late 80's, early 00's, and mid-00's.

When Metallica lost their bass player Jason Newstead, Pepper Keenan was offered the vacated position, but turned it down, fearing he would not have enough creative control.
