90s band Sugar Ray recently made a return to the stage after 25 years, performing some of their biggest hits at a concert in Newport Beach, California. The band, fronted by Mark McGrath, had hits over 20 years ago with songs such as Someday and Every Morning. However, fans were less than impressed with their performance, with many describing it as “terrible” and likening the band to a cover band of their own music or a high school garage band.
The group performed at the Lido Theatre in the city where they first formed, but it seems that time has not been kind to their music. Videos of the comeback performance were shared on social media, with fans expressing disappointment at the band’s lackluster performance. Despite their past success and chart-topping hits in the 90s, fans felt that the band failed to live up to their former glory and sounded subpar compared to their heyday.
Originally composed of four members, including Mark McGrath, Rodney Sheppard, Murphy Karges, and Stan Frazier, Sugar Ray has undergone changes in their lineup over the years. The band had a string of hits in the 90s and also made appearances on TV and in films, such as the 2000 movie Scooby Doo. Their last music release was in 2019, and since then, the band has seemingly faded from the spotlight, with fans wondering if they can recapture the magic of their earlier success.
Lead singer Mark McGrath has continued to perform, even taking on a role on The Masked Singer in 2021. In a surprise twist, McGrath appeared on the show disguised as an Orca, performing hits until he was eventually “unmasked” and his identity revealed by host Nick Cannon. Despite this recent foray back into the spotlight, it seems that Sugar Ray’s most recent performance did not live up to the expectations of fans who had been eagerly awaiting their return to stage.
While Sugar Ray may have been a beloved band in the 90s, their recent comeback performance has left many fans feeling disappointed and underwhelmed. Despite their past success and iconic hits, it seems that time has not been kind to the band, with fans expressing their disappointment on social media. Mark McGrath and the band members may have had their moment in the sun, but it remains to be seen whether they can recapture their former glory and win back the hearts of music fans who have been less than impressed with their recent performance.
