===The 1990s===
Douglas Hart had moonlighted with the Acid Angels in 1988, and left the band in 1991, to have a career in film making, before picking up his bass again in 2006, playing with the [[Sian Alice Group]], [[Le Volume Courbe]], and Cristine.<ref>Daly, Steven (1992) "Teenage Fanclub", ''[[Spin (magazine)|Spin]]'', January 1992, p. 36</ref><ref>Rubiner, Julie M.

The fluid nature of the Mary Chain's line up continued throughout their entire career, with a revolving door of drummers, bassists and guitarists being recruited for TV appearances and gigs whenever they were required, the only constants being the Reid brothers.{{sfn|Strong|2003|p=383}} The Reid brothers recruited former [[The Starlings|Starlings]] rhythm section Matthew Parkin and Barry Blackler to replace Hart and Thomas.{{sfn|Thompson|2000|p=436}}

The brothers bought their own recording studio in 1991 in [[Elephant & Castle]] in [[South London]], which they dubbed ''The Drugstore'',<ref name="PBM2">{{cite web |last=Sladeckova |first=Olga |url=http://www.pennyblackmusic.co.uk/MagSitePages/Article.aspx?id=2940 |title=Jesus and Mary Chain : Interview with Jim Reid Part 2 |work=pennyblackmusic.co.uk |date=26 September 2002 |access-date=11 July 2012 |archive-date=29 September 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180929115143/http://www.pennyblackmusic.co.uk/MagSitePages/Article.aspx?id=2940 |url-status=dead }}</ref> and they returned in February 1992 with the first fruits of the new studio, their next single, "Reverence", which gave them their biggest hit single in almost five years, reaching No.&nbsp;10 in the UK.{{sfn|Strong|2003|p=384}} Spitting feedback and [[punk rock]] bile in every direction, the track was banned from being played on [[BBC Radio 1]] and from ''[[Top of the Pops]]'', due to its potentially offensive lyrics ('I wanna die just like [[John F. Kennedy|JFK]], I wanna die in the USA'...'I wanna die just like [[Jesus|Jesus Christ]], I wanna die on a bed of spikes').<ref name="PBM2" /> The single was followed by the release of the album ''[[Honey's Dead]]'' (1992), which received mixed reviews.{{sfn|Strong|2003|p=383}} After the [[Rollercoaster Tour]] to support the album, the band concentrated on cracking the United States' market, with an appearance on [[David Letterman]]'s show, and a tour as part of the [[Lollapalooza]] line-up, which William later described as "the worst experience of our lives," followed by their own headlining tour.{{sfn|Thompson|2000|p=436}}<ref name="PBM2" /> In December 1992, the Reids again lost their rhythm section, with Ben Lurie returning and Steve Monti joining on drums.{{sfn|Thompson|2000|p=436}} Another compilation was released in 1993, ''[[The Sound of Speed]]'', before they returned to the studio to record their fifth album proper, ''[[Stoned & Dethroned]]'' which would see release in 1994, and featured guest appearances from [[Shane MacGowan]] and William's then-girlfriend [[Hope Sandoval]].{{sfn|Strong|2003|p=383}} The album was originally planned as an acoustic album, but this idea was abandoned because, in Jim's words, "We couldn't do enough interesting things with acoustic guitars to make an album".<ref name="PBM2" /> In the 1995 EP released under American Records, a number of new works and B-sides were published which were later collected in the album ''Munki''.

After the release of the 1995 compilation ''[[Hate Rock 'N' Roll]]'', the Mary Chain parted ways with Blanco y Negro, their record label of over a decade, and re-signed to their original label [[Creation Records]], and [[Sub Pop]] in America.{{sfn|Strong|2003|p=384}} The band now included former [[Lush (band)|Lush]] bassist [[Phil King (musician)|Phil King]].{{sfn|Thompson|2000|p=436}} They then recorded 1998's ''[[Munki]]'' album, which would turn out to be their last before splitting the following year.{{sfn|Strong|2003|p=384}} ''Munki'' was commercially the least successful album the band released, peaking at number forty-seven in the [[UK Album Chart]].{{sfn|Strong|2003|p=384}} The album featured the Reids' sister Linda, who sang on the track "Mo Tucker"<ref name="PBM2" /> as well as vocals from Hope Sandoval on "Perfume".

==== Disbandment ====
Though it was not until October 1999 that the split was made official, on 12 September 1998, William had a falling out in the tour bus with Lurie, the guitarist, before they were to play a sold out performance at the famous [[Los Angeles]] [[House of Blues]]. Jim appeared onstage apparently drunk and barely able to stand or sing.<ref name=":0" /> William walked offstage about 15 minutes into their set, and the show ended.{{sfn|Thompson|2000|p=436}} The audience was later refunded the price of their tickets. The band finished up their U.S. and Japanese dates without William, but from that point, it was clear that the band was at its end. Jim Reid said in 2006 of the tension between himself and William: "After each tour we wanted to kill each other, and after the final tour we tried".<ref name="McNair">{{cite news |last=McNair |first=James |title=The Jesus And Mary Chain, Royal Festival Hall, London |newspaper=[[The Independent]]|date=28 June 2007}}</ref> On the final night of the tour in [[Providence, Rhode Island]], the band's promoter ran off with the money and the band reportedly got in a fight with the cast of the show ''[[Riverdance]]''.<ref name=":1" /><ref>{{Cite web |last=redactie |date=2020-05-23 |title=Mary Chain's Phil King: When William gets going, an electrical storm hits you |url=https://oost-online.nl/when-william-gets-going-an-electrical-storm-hits-you/ |access-date=2023-03-24 |language=nl}}</ref>
