Artist:Class of '99
Song:Another Brick in the Wall
Album:The Faculty: Music from the Dimension Motion Picture
Class of '99 was a supergroup that was assembled to record a cover of Pink Floyd's Another Brick in the Wall for Robert Rodriguez' 1999 film The Faculty. The band was formed specifically for this film and they only recorded once. I don't know exactly why this was done. But I suspect someone at Columbia Records thought it would be a good gimmick to market the soundtrack album. Remember The Faculty was a film that was marketed to teens. The band was Alice in Chains lead singer Layne Staley, Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine on guitar, Matchbox Twenty producer Matt Serletic on keyboards, Martyn LeNoble of Porno for Pyros on bass and Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction on drums. The band was only supposed to be a one shot deal. And it turned out to be Staley's final recorded appearance as he died in 2002. It was released as a single and it is only available on The Faculty soundtrack album. Ugh! Here's the video for Another Brick in the Wall by Class of '99.
