There are now three bands known as Failure.
(1) Failure was an influential american rock band (often also classified as alternative rock and/or space rock) that was active from 1990 to 1997, during which they recorded and released three critically-acclaimed albums. They are often compared to other hard rock bands from that time that were similarly labeled as “alternative”, such as Nirvana, Soundgarden, or Bush, but are distinguished by their meticulous attention to textural sonic detail, inventive use of guitar effects and signal processing, and the overall expansive sound design of their later albums. Although mainstream success narrowly eluded them, they still have many dedicated fans, many of whom are fellow musicians and peers within the music industry.
Failure was formed around 1990 consisting of band members Ken Andrews (vocals/guitars) and Greg Edwards (bass/guitar), with contributions by drummers Robert Gauss, John Dargahi, Kellii Scott and touring guitarist Troy Van Leeuwen. After poor success with their first album, Comfort, Ken Andrews decided to produce their next album, Magnified, himself. Their third album Fantastic Planet was widely considered their best but even though their single, Stuck On You, had some success, the band eventually split over creative differences and a growing drug problem within the band. In studio, most of the work was done by Ken Andrews (who would record vocals, guitar, and some bass) and Greg Edwards (who would record bass, some guitar, and drums).

I can't understand why these guys weren't popular. They absolutely had the sound and image, and at the right time too. Maybe they just weren't promoted well enough or something.

This band is so awesome. Also Paramore isn't that great, it's called having a bunch of teenage girls to buy your album, that is how those bands become popular.

I got a quarter of the way through it and thought, "if I was was Failure I'd be getting ready to shoot someone in the face" for thinking it was ok to butcher my song like that.

It's actually a good cover, pretty much like the original but with different and imo better vox. But then I would say that. I really like Failure though. We could bitch about the nurse who loved me cover while we're here though as well. But that is by a "cool" band amirite. [2] I'm afraid your logic and reasoning was wasted in this shoutbox, Le_Shambles. However, you're obviously right.

This band is great, I think they should be more appreciated for their music. I actully discoverd them when I searched on youtube the original version of "The Nurs Who Loved Me" (first I heard the cover by A Perfect Circle) and I found out that they are really good... Lets make a long story short, they are awesome.

I heard everyone in Paramore HAS aids. If not this would be a great time to start the internet rumor.

I love Failure and I'm definitely not Paramore's biggest fan or anything, but in all fairness that cover isn't totally terrible.

What? Paramore? Cover? Seriously why aren't they dead for butchering a Failure and ATD-I song?

@le_shambles, yes, A Perfect Circle is definitely way cooler than Paramore.
