The Rise & Fall of SUGAR RAY (Sugar Gay?)

He kinda has the mannerisms of Henry Rollins. Sorry, Henry if you read this.

Sugar Ray is actually really underappreciated IMO. I'm sure this is colored by nostalgia, but 14:59 is an interesting record with some cool tracks, some of which are just downright weird but dope (Personal Space Invader, lookin at u)

Nobody just "sells out and becomes more popular" you have to have talent and song writing abilities. You have to be able to write a hook be memorable and market themselves.
Selling out implies that its easy.

I love Sugar Ray… I am a solo cover musician and have probably played “Fly” 300 times live and people of all walks know it and love it.

Sugar Ray's first album was pretty solid, great music while driving around with friends.
Anything later was not good.
I saw them play at Epcot a few years ago and it was really sad.

I went to high school with Mark McGrath. We were in separate friend groups but our paths did cross when we were put in the same CCD class in 8th grade and as a group we decided to go to Knott’s Berry Farm. I must say I was prone to bullying during that time but Mark McGrath never disrespected me. Happy he found some success with his life.

😂🤣😂🤣

Dude! I always respected those guys, saw them when they were young and stupid (so was I), loved their music then and loved what they did after. Nice job!! Thank you.

I love your work.

Sugar Gay!!!

I can admit to singing along to more than a few Sugar Ray songs, usually after more than a few beers!

One of my favorite bands. Floored is a super underrated record.

I might not like sugar ray but Mark's an incredible music historian just an encyclopedia

I was introduced to Sugar Ray through the Road Rash 3D videogame – same with Kid Rock oddly enough.

That entire soundtrack is awesome, but never did I imagine those two bands "evolving" into what they became.

Muscle car rock to hotel pool jams is really good writing. I don't know if I've heard SR so aptly summarized.

This might sound crazy but I am 49 and my wife tells me we are going to our friends for a party but there is a free concert in her community for the community's anniversary. So we walk over to the park where the show is and I am told Sugar ray is playing. I rolled my eyes as many people probably do when they hear the name Sugar Ray but i did think it was weird they would play this gig. To my astonishment they were actually really good and they played bunch of covers and we had a blast.

Sugar Gay!!!

They just performed at conference I was at. They were actually good! You could tell he understands the audience, he basically poked fun at himself. Played all their hits and then did a bunch of covers from a range of genres. Violent Femmes, Beastie Boys, Backstreet Boys and Blink 182.

They just copied sublime.. no originality and went with the trends .. 🤮

Back in the sugar gay days, when i was a teen, my buddy talked me into the blonde hair tips. We had been drinking al night. He was so drunk I woke up looking like eminem. No tips lol just blonde. Looked like a goof with yellow hair. Didnt fit my personality at all. It works for some ppl but definitely not me

they had two songs right

I made it as far as the lame ad bit
