In 1996 they released the Devin Townsend produced Pigwalk alongside new bassist Corey Lowery and drummer Bud Fontseré. Their fame was minimal until the release of their 3rd album, Rising. The album sold over 50,000 copies and remained Century Media's highest selling album until 2004, when Lacuna Coil's 5th album Comalies broke that record. The band's love for professional wrestling was especially exhibited through this album, as World Championship Wrestling's U.S. Heavyweight Championship belt was prominently featured on the cover. Also, the video for the song "Rising" featured then-WCW stars Diamond Dallas Page and Raven.
Despite critical praise and good sales of their follow-up albums, Stuck Mojo broke up in 2001 but continued to perform New Year's Eve reunion shows every year at the Masquerade Club in Atlanta. Bonz later joined the bands 420 Monks and Dead Gospel. Ward, Fontseré, and former bassist Dan Dryden joined WWE wrestler Chris Jericho's band Fozzy and another band called Sick speed, and Corey Lowery joined Life Of Agony, Stereomud, and Dark New Day. Rich Ward released a solo album under the name "The Duke" on May 3, 2005. Stuck Mojo are considered pioneers of the nu-metal subgenre, and are considered an influence by many popular nu-metal groups. In 2005, Stuck Mojo reunited, with Bonz, Ward, and Fontseré back in the lineup, with new bassist Sean Delson replacing Dan Dryden. Current plans include a new album, titled "Southern Born Killers", as well as a full-scale tour. Fontsere has since left and been replaced by Eric Sanders along with frontman Bonz being replaced by Lord Nelson.
Their latest album, "Southern Born Killers", has been released for free legal download from their official site.
Crooked Figurehead
Stuck Mojo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
The chameleon at the podium whose words cause pandamonium.
A nation under stress, you must confess about an executive mess.
You want me to believe; like Copperfield only tricks up the sleeve!
Oncea ho always a ho, you keep wheeling and killing at will.
Ever since you took oath you keep feeding the people fake hope.
Your platforms weak, plus you're a thief, you need to be impeached.
Mysterious deaths, illegal funds, oh what a mighty web you've spun!
Crooked figuredhead.
Who do you think your fooling?
Crooked figurehead.
No screening for cabinet members, they just hire family members, suicide
A tight white lie from the CIA to the FBI.
Janet Reno to the rescue, protected your boss with a flaw in the law.
Chelsea's fled the nest, Hillary's pissed , her daddy runs the biggest gang
Better resist.
I heard 55.50 for a ride on Air Force One and have some fun.
Can I rent a room at the white house, invite all my friends and party out?
You've given phat deals to Camp David, but you have to be crime-related.
Diplomats get the welcome mat 'cause when you're finished in office your livin
Phatt!
(Chorus)
Manipulated the youth through MTV.
Smooth. Smart. Move for the T-O-P.
Adopted Republicans' Foreign Policy, you make it look real bad for the
Presidency!
