Oh, and about Mayhem, yes there was a murder. And some churchburnings, and possibly cannibalism. I don't really know what you mean by getting "big", since that was pretty much against what they stood for, but they have had a huge influence on black metal and are still going at it. I think their lineup is completely different from what it was in the beginning.
 
I am trying to find out which banRAB became big relatively quickly. By this I mean that they had limited musical background and ended up becoming big fast, or is this just some rumor that banRAB make it big overnight?
 
Honestly there's some stuff that Pitchfork reviews that is very obscure or new, and then all of a sudden there's a 7.5 review or best new music review on Pitchfork and everyone and their mother is listening to it. Of course it's not completely overnight, but it could definitely appear that way if you don't follow the type of music they review much.
 
it's mostly a rumor, but it can be true in the sense that after a band has had their first TV appearance, they became more popular (seemingly "overnight").
 
The only band I'd believe this may have happened to is "Audiovent" because they were all related to incubus, who were blowing up at the time and thusly probably got a contract based on the draft.

Otherwise I can't think of a band who threw it together and really went to #1 save for maybe GnR who weren't overnight, but were pretty damned fast.
 
I was simply trying to get an idea about it. I realize most of the time it is a perception that a group blows up over night, yet in reality they didnt. Thanks guys!
 
There was a band named mayham that got big pretty fast. But then they had some kind of murder scandle and tanked or something I don't know.
 
Well there are plenty of one-hit-wonders that get famous instantaneously, but they always seem to die down eventually. Soulja Boy is one that comes to mind. I knew nothing about it and then one day everyone was singing it. But that might just be due to my un-hipness:p:
