Or a pack of cigarettes.....

You should listen to Chris Hogan, his voice is a testosterone cannon

Don’t smoke

he could replace Jeff Ament in another 10 years, voice gets deeper as we age :)

It has a powerful resonance, a great space to be in.

Constant Red wine consumption does that to you

You should hear his Barry White impersonation.

Omg that would be awesome

That'd be awesome but the only downfall is the whole time he'd be talking I'd be imagining "EVEN FLOWW" lol

How to quit smoking by Eddie Vedder

I think the people of the sixties and seventies said something very similar.

That had to have been awesome. I was alive at that time but way to young to know anything about what was going on. I was only 5 years old so yeah. I really do think the ,90s especially the early 90s was the best musical era.

i think about this a lot. as much as there's somewhat of a scene (or, prior to covid) in amsterdam, eindhoven, utrecht and surrounding cities, this just doesn't seem to exist in this day and age. man.

I was 13-14 and yeah, I agree. I’m from southwestern BC, like a 10 minute drive from the border. I was 12 years old, just starting 7th grade at a new middle school, and I had just made this new friend during the first week and I go to his house on Friday and he says we have to go the rec room and listen to this new album he got. He puts the CD in (and CDs were still pretty new to me) and presses play. Even Flow explodes from his dad’s mancave sound system. It was the first holy fuckin shit music moment of my adolescent life. The album had just been released like a week or 2 before so they weren’t even on the radio yet. 2 years later, when I was 14, my dad (who is a guitar teacher) took me and that friend and our girlfriends across to Seattle to see them play VS songs before the album even came out. Hearing Indifference for the first time, live, was the 2nd...

Fully agree. I was 13 in 1992 and I have often thought how lucky I was to be a teenager through this amazing time of music.

Lotta heroin

I can only imagine!

Yeah everybody's depressed. Great party.

They would have all been asleep

They'd sit and read, probably. Or talk about how everything sucks. It wouldn't be like a Van Halen after party.

I heard that.

As someone who was precisely 15 going on 16 when Nevermind and One by PJ came out, I often think back to how insanely lucky my generation was to grow up to that soundtrack.

I just wish yoga pants were around then....

I was way past my formative music years when grunge hit - but for me - I felt like I finally had a music that was my own. I feel like I should continue to keep up with newer music - but lately I find myself binging on Nirvana, et al. I ask myself the question - is the music this good that it draws me back - or am a classic old fogey stuck in my glory days. Am I like my parents, who thought music stopped at swing? I don’t hate hip hop in the way that they truly hated rock n roll - but I don’t seek it out and listen as usually as a palate refresher or a cultural check.

I am just grateful to have experienced and lived through their music.

Scott Weiland?

They may not be here with us, but true legends never really die 🙏

TBH so that my ear aches hearing it and couldn't pay attention to it - from a begging korean province disdained and "rightfully" hated below a bug even as a whole spiritually, even among all asians

It will probably come at a cost, sadly. Smoking...

Cigarretes maybe

years of tobacco

From the German Alps

@@danielfreitas4402 though he obviously has a down deep voice to begin with.

Yeah sounds awesome

Watch the PJ20 documentary

it really was, now Google & Amazon ruined it

yeah seattle seemed cool like 30 years ago

It was a hot spot back

Good point.

What about 70s punk, the Manchester scene NY alternative rock and Chicago industrial

Yeah but I'd say the Madchester scene in England was way closer to the 60s psychedelic scene. It was even called the "Second Summer of Love" (after the first one in the 60s).

Apart from London town which had is fair share.

It's not a pop music scene, but while these guys were tearing up Seattle, the New Orleans sludge metal scene was INSANELY active and tight knit. Crowbar, Eyehategod, Down, Acid Bath, Abuse, Choke, factor in Pantera, Corrosion of Conformity, and Exhorder, and holy shit, what a scene. I know most people don't care about metal so it goes unnoticed, but it was exactly like the Seattle scene, but angrier and heavier. Fittingly, the same band basically started both scenes: the Melvins. For a band with such limited success, their influence is so extensive it's unreal. Also, honorable mention to the Florida death metal scene. Quite big in its own right, and arguably the scene with the most longevity considering that between death metal, sludge metal, and grunge, only death metal is still being played today. Sludge has largely evolved into doom metal and stoner rock, while grunge was a fad, more or less.

Literally everyone else here is siding with cobain. And they became good friends

Exactly

It was more to do with how they sounded not how well they were doing.

It depends on whether the fans came to the music or the bands adjusted the music to get the fans when considering if a band is a "sell out". In the case of the Seattle sound, I think the fans came to the music, not the other way around. I don't think anybody could call In Utero "selling out". At least not with a straight face. If anything, Nirvana made a record that shouldn't have sold. It certainly wasn't as radio friendly as Nevermind. I like In Utero better than Nevermind. I also like Soup better than Blind Melon. (I know, not a Seattle band, but they were part of that time.) Neither of those two albums had anything that was as "commercial" as their predecessors.

It was jealousy. He was annoyed that Pearl Jam got so big so fast.

Imagine if the majority of them didn't use heroine.

Don’t forget Layne Staley.

Unfortunately Billy Corgan is still with us.

Let's not forget Layne

Don’t forget Layne Staley and Andrew Wood :)

But sped up a bit.
