New Radicals "You Get What You Give"

Marilyn Manson was so upset his name was used opposite Courtney Love in the lyrics of "You Get What You Give" that he threatened to beat up New Radical's lead singer Gregg Alexander. The two later bumped into each other in a grocery store where Alexander apologized to Manson and all was forgiven.

New Radicals - "Someday We'll Know"

The New Radicals were red-hot in 1999 thanks to their breakout hit "You Get What You Give".  Their follow-up single, "Someday We'll Know", hit the radio that spring coupled with surprising news -- Gregg Alexander, the group's lead member, announced that he had achieved all his goals with New Radicals and the group would break up.  At the time, the alt-rock group was barely two years old.  Alexander bluntly said, "The fatigue of traveling and getting three hours' sleep in a different hotel every night to do boring 'hanging and schmoozing' with radio and retail people is definitely not for me."  Just like that, the band was never heard from again.
