This was such a great post. Yes, a little depressing, but still good. This was my music! I spent the nineties listening to techno and grunge. Well dNb actually. Breaks and then grunge when I wasn't listening to anything in the electronica genre.
I had no idea Chris Cornell past. I seen Sound Garden open up for Danzig when they were first starting out. I drove 4 hours to Cleveland to see the show and the whole time we drove we made fun of the "Soundgarden" name. IDK why but we thought the name was hysterical. Then the concert started and we were all completely floored. Frankly, they blew Danzig right off the stage. Next day I went to the record store and bought everything I could find on Soundgarden. Listened to nothing else for about a month straight and couldn't stop talking about the opening act at the Danzig show in Cleveland.
Soundgarden and Nirvana really opened the floodgates for grunge. It was like they set the standard for the sound of a decade.
Great post! As always, a flood of memories! Cheers!
Oh man thatโs sick! Iโd pay anything to of seen Soundgarden that early! Would love to see you post on Nineties Friday! Danzigโs first record was 88 but two through five were nineties. Drop a post about this one week ๐ธ
Sorry for the late reply, I just found this. Yeah, I'd love to do a Nineties Friday, maybe this coming weekend. Soon for sure though, I loved that decade!
Gin Blossoms are probably one of my most favorite bands. Change by Blind Melon is one of my favorites of theirs even though most people only know "No Rain". Bon Jovi is one of the only bands that survived through the grunge era and continued to make their own music.
I think there are still some bands out there doing their thing. I don't really know though. It's probably just gotten absorbed into a different genres.
You have developed this well. Listening to everyone that's the whole story. I met these bands you mentioned (most of them) when they were hot, and I was just the right age. What do I know? I'd put
Faith No More somewhere, too
You know @whywhy? It is funny how I was totally distance from this community... And now that I am back again, one of the first post I ser, is this piece of beauty. God, I do love grunge. Thank you for this, baby!
Gracias Guapa, glad to see you back and this was definitely one of the bigger positives from the 90s...well except all the overdosing and suicides but musically ...wowow
I saw Linkin Park in fall of 2000 opening for P.O.D. Right when there first single ever broke months after the first record was released! Who would a thought theyโd blow up as big as they did!
You even got Mother Love Bone this week! Nice! I gotta be honest Iโd take them over Pearl Jam Any day!

Mate a story like that makes the writing even more fun and it's awesome to see opening acts grow way beyond the bands they opened up for.
I still consider myself lucky meeting many great bands working at the club in the Netherlands back then.
Those stories, those Tunes we will vary them with us spread them when the time is right.
Thanks for the awesome comment!!!!

Change is my favorite!!!
No rain has got nothing on change....
But how can all the Gunners be alive while grunge is Dead???
Happy Friday the 13th btw

Yeah like I found Extreme still around... but still Guns and Roses...they are all still here...how?
Anyway glad to see Change is not just my guilty pleasure
Now Slash's recent stuff is really good, but Axel just needs to stop. He sounds horrible now.
You have developed this well. Listening to everyone that's the whole story. I met these bands you mentioned (most of them) when they were hot, and I was just the right age. What do I know? I'd put
Faith No More somewhere, too
And later Mr.Bungle, too.
They are so in place but also like RHCP beyond these sensitive snowflakes.
I will have to call them out because.... damn I agree
RHCP, too, agrees.

Our #NinetiesFriday regular with a banger today! ๐ธ
@thebighigg
Hmmm ๐ค why would Pearl Jam not be listed and Mother Love Bone called out like a pers. Fav.
But yes Linkin Park gave me the perfect mix between my two loves guitars and synths.
Thanks for dropping by !PIMP
