Fabric pants confirmed.

Damn. They had me fooled, then went and proved me wrong in a bad way. What a head scratching choice given the simplistic nature of a black pant.

Anyone who is anyone in the music industry identifies this fact that Nirvana changed the scene, changed the industry and changed world with Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Ooooo music thread derail!!

I don't think Nirvana sucks, I just never got the obsession. Angsty to be angsty. Which appealed to a lot of people and still does. I get it, music is subjective. But to say it was just Nirvana that changed the sound scene is a narrow scope. All of the Seattle scene was fire then. I prefer Pearl Jam far more than Nirvana. Chris Cornell was/is a master too.

And I'm not afraid to say that I think Dave Grohl has more must in his soul than Kurt would have had he lived. For that I am grateful as I am a HUGE Dave Grohl (and FF) fan. I'm not sure Kurt would have evolved as Dave has. Though I do miss Dave behind the drums...

Breed is a great song to workout to - gotta give credit where its due

[Black Cat]

Demona did you crush on Brandon Lee as well?

[Demona]

Never even seen the movie - and I was only 13 when he died (thanks Google) - so nope. Can't say that I did I had to fake being like all the other girls who like NKOTB. Being a tomboy I just played sports, watched sports, and crushed on athletes if it wasn't somebody in my neighborhood. Watching movies with overly pretty men wasn't my thing then.

The Grunge scene is one of my "things", and out of the BIG 5 Grunge acts (Alice in Chains, Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Stone Temple Pilots & Soundgarden) i like Nirvana the least

with that said, Kurt and Nirvana made more noise than any of them. the single Smells Like Teen Spirt was and is the biggest rock single of my lifetime and possible ever. There's a reason NECA made an 18" figure of Kurt, along with Jimi and Freddie...notice a trend? Dave Grohl, he's a rock star no doubt. The dude's music does nothing for me. He's truly talented and sells out arenas, but i'd never spin one of his FF records over any of the 5 Seattle Iconic bands i mentioned.

they ushered in a movement with their friends from Seattle and they were the generals of the army. Guns and Roses was the biggest band in the world in the early 90s, there is much debate that Nirvana was bigger, and a big part of me agrees and i love(d) G&R. there's a funny 40-page thread on a forum about this topic...interesting read. That whole "Nirvana killed the hair metal scene with one song"is an interesting discussion...i think part yes...and part no...good conversation but it speaks volumes to what they did.

My Seattle "Grunge" Outliers:

Best Single: Nirvana - Smells Like Teen Spirit
Best Album: Pearl Jam - Ten
My Favorite Album: Alice in Chains - Facelift
Best Band: Alice In Chains
Best Front Man: Chris Cornell - Soundgarden
Best Guitarist: Jerry Cantrell - Alice in Chains
The Only Front Man Left: Eddie Vedder - Pearl Jam
Best Side Project: Chris Cornell - Audioslave
Biggest Band: NIRVANA by a mile
Most Longevity: Pearl Jam
Best Song from a Soundtrack: Stone Temple Pilots - "Big Empty" The Crow Soundrack

...how about that for getting back on topic

You need to watch the movie. It's really good.

Best Band: Alice In Chains
Best Front Man: Layne Staley - Alice in Chains
Best Guitarist: Jerry Cantrell - Alice in Chains

I've come to appreciate Nirvana more with time (Teen Spirit is a Rockin' tune, no doubt ) but I agree that I Never understood the obsession, but then I've Never been a Joiner!

To me, Soundgarden was the Best band, by far, from that Seattle scene. Superior Lyrically & Chris Cornell was a Phenomenal Vocalist! Their A-sides collection is Still a favorite...

Bush had some nice grunge going too
