Editing Monster Magnet (section)

=== A&M Records era and popularity (1992–2002) ===
In 1992, Monster Magnet signed with [[A&M Records]], and their first album on the label, ''[[Superjudge]]'', was released the following year. Despite being released on a major label, it fared poorly commercially.<ref name=":1">{{Cite web |last=Injection |first=Metal |date=2019-01-31 |title=#TBT: Superjudge is MONSTER MAGNET's Psychedelic-Kissed Retro Metal |url=https://metalinjection.net/news/tbt-superjudge-is-monster-magnets-psychedelic-kissed-retro-metal |access-date=2024-07-03 |website=Metal Injection |language=en-US}}</ref> Like its predecessor, ''Superjudge'' became an influential release in the stoner rock genre.<ref name=":1" /> The songs "Twin Earth" and "Face Down" were released as singles (with accompanying videos), but they did little to promote the album. In 1995, Monster Magnet released their third studio album, ''[[Dopes to Infinity]]''. The album included the band's first hit single, "[[Negasonic Teenage Warhead (song)|Negasonic Teenage Warhead]]," which benefited from a music video that received regular rotation on [[MTV]]. Still, the album was not as successful as the band had hoped.

After touring in support of ''Dopes to Infinity'', Wyndorf moved to [[Las Vegas, Nevada|Las Vegas]], [[Nevada]], to begin working on ''[[Powertrip]]'' (1998), a breakthrough hit that finally earned the band a [[music recording sales certification|gold record]].<ref name="RIAA2">{{cite web |title=American certifications – Monster Magnet |url=https://www.riaa.com/goldandplatinumdata.php?&artist=%22Monster%20Magnet%22 |accessdate=December 26, 2013 |publisher=[[Recording Industry Association of America]]}}</ref> Guitarist Phil Caivano joined the band in 1998.<ref name="The Great Rock Discography" /> "[[Space Lord]]," the album's first single, was a major radio hit, and the band toured with successful acts such as [[Aerosmith]], [[Metallica]] and [[Rob Zombie]].

After a two-year tour supporting ''Powertrip'', the band released ''[[God Says No]]'' (2001), which charted at number 153 on ''Billboard''. However, it failed to match the commercial success of the band's previous release. Following the album's release, Joe Calandra and Jon Kleiman left the band. They were replaced by Jim Baglino and Michael Wildwood, who recorded ''Monolithic Baby!''. After a short stint, Wildwood was replaced by former [[Love Among Freaks]] drummer Bob Pantella. During this period, the band also parted ways with A&M Records.

Following the split from A&M Records, Monster Magnet wrote and performed "Live for the Moment," which served as the entrance theme for [[WWE]] wrestler [[Matt Hardy]] from 2002 to 2010. The song also appeared on the ''[[WWF Forceable Entry]]'' compilation.
