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 Fontsere has since left and been replaced by Eric Sanders along with frontman Bonz being replaced by Lord Nelson.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.
Tears
Stuck Mojo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Celebrity status you're the saddest, wasn't that O.J. case one of the maddest?!
Fallen stars disregard, some lead by example, others go too far.
Until behind bars was in the realm of untouchables but you got touched now shut up!
There's only so many, there's only so many, there's only so many tears that you can cry.
Design buy a higher being cry and whine, but nobody's dropping.
Bang bang biggie Tupac the bully master scheme
Dime feel no sorrow cause they knew they weren't promised tomorrow
Propaganda wrecking you like Panzers
But like the desert fox you can be destroyed.
Sneaking up on you like the Trojans did Troy.
We couldn't trust Marv like the barber named Floyed?!
There's only so many, there's only so many, there's only so many tears that you can cry.
Cry baby cry, dry your lying eyes
Cry baby cry, with every tear I fear
Cry baby cry, what a nice try
Cry baby cry, what's that in your eye?
A lie formulating, you've been busted this time!
There's only so many, there's only so many, there's only so many tears that you can cry.
The lyrics of Stuck Mojo's "Tears" seem to mock the "crybabies" who complain about their problems despite having a privileged and seemingly comfortable life. The song calls out celebrities who become sad despite their fame and fortune, and compares them to fallen stars who disregarded their responsibilities as role models. The reference to the O.J. Simpson case highlights the hypocrisy and absurdity of the media's obsession with celebrity trials and scandals. The lines "some lead by example, others go too far" suggest that some celebrities truly make a positive impact, while others are more concerned with their own egos and agendas. The last line, "there's only so many tears that you can cry," reinforces the idea that self-pity and victimhood can only go so far, and that at some point, one must take responsibility for their own life.

Dime feel no sorrow cause they knew they weren't promised tomorrow Propaganda wrecking you like Panzers
People in the entertainment industry, who earn a lot of money, don't feel bad for their mistakes because they live life day-by-day. Propaganda destroys a person's reputation like Panzers (German tanks) during WWII.
But like the desert fox you can be destroyed. Sneaking up on you like the Trojans did Troy.

Cry baby cry, dry your lying eyes
Stop crying and dry your eyes, because you're just lying to yourself.
Cry baby cry, with every tear I fear

Cry baby cry, what a nice try
Crying is not going to solve anything, so stop trying to use it to get your way.
Cry baby cry, what's that in your eye? A lie formulating, you've been busted this time!
What's in your eye is a lie brewing, but this time you've been caught.
There's only so many, there's only so many, there's only so many tears that you can cry.
There's a limit to how much a person can cry and be emotional over something.
