>> ^eric3579:
The band that single handily killed the big hair bands. Thank god.


Thank God? Unfortunately, it also killed my way of making a living. You may be thanking God, but it left me homeless, and without a job. Not to mention the thousands of other folks who worked in the rock cubs that lost their jobs when a ton of the clubs that hired 70's, 80's, & early 90's style cover bands closed.

But then again, look how long "grunge" stuck around, and look where rock music is heading today. Right back to the hair band rock and roll style it was before Kurt the rest of them showed up. Don't get me wrong, I like this song and other Nirvana stuff. Hell, we played this song two times a night. And I loved singing it. (Used to do the Weird Al version for fun sometimes.) But, I guess it goes to show you that you really can't kill rock and roll.

Even though heavy metal was developed by north americans, I'm afraid the oral fixation on rap and grunge has allowed the europeans to take the lead.

Pity.

I get a chub for must grunge, but especially for Soundgarden, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains.

And my avatar is how I'm going to be reincarnated. So if you're reincarnated as the Great White Hunter, please don't shoot me.

^while i don't think this is the best thing he ever did i'm sure it was crucial in procurring nirvana's place in culture. without the unplugged session i think people would be more likely to simply remember them as a noisy grunge band. unplugged really helps to establish the music itself. jon brion did an amazing cover of lithium once on his short lived vh1 show that i think does the same thing.

I was sick at home from high school (9th grade, I think) when I first saw this session. I wasn't that into alternative or grunge then, but this hour or so of music made me reconsider what I thought was important in the music I appreciated. Great post.

Upvote for art. The music nearly killed me. It sounded like Bjork. I don't even care that it's not Bjork. I don't even care if it didn't sound like Bjork to you. It reminded me of what I think Bjork sounds like. It's creepy. It's, like, cappuccino grunge tripe that you listen to when you want people to think you're cool. Here's the formula: String some inane crap together, poke around on a sequencer when you're hung over and sing with condescending boredom, slurring your words as if in a heroin haze. </wilhelm scream>

LOL

Snipe, you're lucky I'm not your mother. Before I kicked your ass out of the basement and out the door to get on with adulthood, I'd take some shears to that mop you call hair. (your real hair in your pics, not your sift mullet)

Along with that hair, what's that thing you're growing on your bottom lip? I swear it looks like someone gave you a Chris Cornell Starter Kit left over from 1993. Grunge has long gone, hon.

And smile for a damn picture sometime!

(sorry I'm late.. again)
