  • Class of '99 was a short-term American alternative rock supergroup consisting of members from notable rock bands: * Layne Staley of Alice in Chains as vocalist, * Tom Morello of Rage Against the Machine as lead guitarist, * Stephen Perkins of Jane's Addiction as drummer, * Martyn LeNoble of Porno for Pyros as bassist, * Matt Serletic producer of Matchbox Twenty and many others as keyboardist. These five musicians collaborated to cover Pink Floyd's "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" (as well as "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 1)") for the soundtrack to Robert Rodriguez's 1998 science-fiction horror film, The Faculty. Contrary to rumors and popular belief, the five musicians collaborated solely to cover the songs for the film and did not create a band or intend on releasing other new material. In 1999, a single of both versions was released on the Sony International record label. It also contained Stabbing Westward's "Haunting Me". The "Another Brick in the Wall (Part 2)" video was directed by Jim Shea, and aired for the first time in January 1999. As the recordings took place in November 1998, Class of '99 is now notable for being Staley's final appearance in the studio prior to his death from a drug overdose in April 2002. (en)
  • I Class of '99 sono stati una band alternative rock statunitense di breve vita composta dai membri di alcune famose rock band: Layne Staley degli Alice in Chains come vocalist, Tom Morello dei Rage Against the Machine e degli Audioslave alla chitarra, Stephen Perkins dei Jane's Addiction alla batteria, Martyn LeNoble dei Porno for Pyros al basso e alle tastiere. Questi cinque musicisti collaborarono a realizzare le cover di Another Brick in the Wall dei Pink Floyd parti 1 e 2 per la colonna sonora del film The Faculty di Robert Rodriguez. Nel 1999 il singolo di questo brano venne pubblicato con l'etichetta Sony International. Conteneva le versioni di Another Brick in the Wall parte 1 e Another Brick in the Wall parte 2 dei Class of '99, più Haunting Me di Stabbing Westward. Il video di Another Brick in the Wall parte 2 venne diretto da . Mentre gli altri membri della band vennero filmati per il video del singolo, l'apparizione di Staley consisteva in scene tratte dal dei Mad Season, del 1995. Il video venne trasmesso per la prima volta nel Gennaio del 1999. Questa scelta venne presa a causa delle condizioni di salute del cantante che, a causa della sua dipendenza da eroina, erano terribilmente critiche. Quest'ultimo infatti venne trovato morto pochi anni dopo (nell'aprile del 2002) nel suo appartamento di Seattle in seguito a un'overdose da Speedball, un mix di eroina e cocaina. (it)
