So I feel like talking about this

If you wanna discuss, go ahead...if not thats fine...

So I was talking with a good friend last night about my love for music. Especially the early 90s "Seattle" grunge rock style.

We started talking about Nirvana - Pearl Jam and my fav-Soundgarden and Chris Cornell

Soundgarden frontman Chris Cornell------come to find out.is due credit for all of the music we love from that "era"...now granted, to get technical, they all are inspired by the lead singer of "mother love bone" and that is how "Temple of the Dog" Started...however, the more you look at it..CHRIS CORNELL started it all, did you know that?

And it just makes my statement of, "I am a rock guru" that much more reassured because of what I found.

Cornell was in Temple of the Dog as I said, now follow what I am saying....

Which was out in 1990. Before Pearl Jam's first album in 1991. Ya know that song we all think is a Pearl Jam song? Called Hunger Strike

Ya that was sung by CHRIS CORNELL originally....then he invites a little man named Eddie Vedder to join Temple of the Dog. And this happens:

which is the version you are used to hearing - which is cornell and eddie vedder together

THEN

later NIRVANA comes out as a POSER band late 91 AND CLAIMS to be the "seattle grunge" rock band of the century

when all in all....they would have been nothing without the then formed PEARL JAM that was put together after Temple of the dog went their own ways and made up Soundgarden and Pearl Jam a year later and PEARL JAM sold MILLIONS of RECORDS and CHRIS CORNELL went on to do MANY MANY more things...LIKE THIS:

WHich again is "Hunger Strike" performed by CHRIS CORNELL and CHESTER BENNINGTON the lead singer of LINKIN PARK

so..bottom line


CHRIS CORNELL IS THE GOD OF GRUNGE ROCK


and incase you want one more:

this is cornell doing it live by himself. amazing!

Not so much.

You need to go back to about 1981, with bands like Green River, or Mr. Epp & The Calculations.

Chris Cornell Rocks!!!

what is that song,.. The Highway,..

we CHRIS CORNELL

ummmm NO


Neil Young was playing Grunge before Sound garden knew what grunge was.....

I love Grunge, and Mr_Music lives up to his name once again. Nirvana was a great grunge band though, but none of the bands you stated actually "started" grunge music.

I have to agree with Fear here and I love Chris Cornell so don't take this wrong....

I hold in my hand at this very moment....Nirvana "Bleach" dated 1989.
Grunge (Nirvana) is a total different sound then Soundgarden. JMO!!!!

I agree.

Neil Young and Crazy Horse have been grunging it since the begining.

Too bad Neil Young can't sing and Chris Cornell has gone pop

alright

i had a feeling this was gonna happen........


how are any of you going to put neil young and soundgarden/pearl jam/nirvana in the same category ---- that is my first question???


grunge, whatever you may call it...who cares when IT started


what I am talking about

WHAT the TOPIC said



Topic: The beginning of Seattle Grunge - BOO NIRVANA


right?

I am talking about that "Seattle Grunge" Rock. Neil Young? Are ya kidding me????

Seattle Grunge Rock like......Soundgarden - Pearl Jam - Nirvana - Alice in Chains - and several other smaller bands which I won't even get into......

IF you want to get into the "roots" of "GRUNGE" MUSIC

IT was created by Mark Arm from the band Mudhoney, which would be one of those, "smaller bands"

Neil Young!?!? Are you serious?!? He plays the HARMONICA!

Cornell has not gone pop, that is an uneducated statement

You must not like music

Cornell is a musician. Have you listened to his ALBUM? Have you listened to the MUSIC?

Cornell has been around over 20 years. Why would you think he'd keep spitting out Black Hole Sun over and over?

Grunge? Grunge means "dirty"

Thats all....we are talking about "music styles"

Not choice of "pronouns"

Then who did Billy?

Eddie Vedder has such a sexy voice.

lets do this again


Topic: The beginning of Seattle Grunge - BOO NIRVANA


HOW COME NOBODY READS TOPICS?!?

I guess...I'll agree with you?

One more thing?

Ya know what music is?

And I hope

Mr Music can agree with me here

IT IS AN ART FORM

thank you mr music...

i actually looked into what you said

and you, unlike everyone else

were right



looks like Mark Arm started Green River.......so, I apologize to you

quoted from wikipedia,

"In 1986, the band continued to play in and around the Pacific Northwest to steadily larger crowds (especially in the band's hometown of Seattle). Early in the year, the now legendary Deep Six compilation album was released on the local C/Z Records label. Alongside two Green River songs, the compilation features the music of fellow Washington bands Soundgarden, Melvins, Malfunkshun, Skin Yard and the U-Men. Kathleen C. Fennessy of Allmusic stated that the compilation "documents a formative period in Northwest rock history."[2]"


NICE mr music! VERY VERY nice!

mr music, to you and you alone...

only reason why i give so much credit to cornell is because without cornells "hand", i guess we can say, there would be no pearl jam

and without pearl jam..in MY OPINION (the caps are for the other readers not you mr music)...there would be no nirvana......

so yes, it started with green river and mark arm...he passed the torch to andrew wood of mother love bone -- which i did say in original post --dunno if you saw that--who then --when he passed away--cornell BY HIMSELF picked it up....saved grunge...and passed it on to VEDDER bc cornell WROTE that song, he sang it himself...

and without cornell vedder would have not had that song that we all "think is a pearl jam" song........and then came nirvana


ya get what i am saying now??
