A lot of those bands had connections though. Wood and Cornell were roommates at one time I believe. Mother Love Bone and Alice In Chains were birthed in the Music Bank around the same time..

I saw them open for Van Halen at Lakewood in Atlanta in 1991. Feel lucky to have seen them live with Layne Staley. But it was before Dirt and Jar of Flies.


Saw them on the same tour in baton rouge in 91. As much as I LOVE AIC, they put on one of the most forgettable shows I've ever seen. They were NOT good live at this show. Very disappointed.

That seattle scene was wild, it was all non-mainstream but all those bands were so different. Nirvana, Soundgarden, AIC, Pearl Jam, nothing alike at all.

It’s crazy to me how all the lead singers died young, along with the Lincoln park guy. Q told us they were exposing the pedophiles but now only one of them remains


Really makes you think

Jerry came up with some amazing riffs and songs and Layne's voice was truly unique.

Love Billy's covers. Wished he would've chosen another AIC tune though.

Happy to downvote. Overrated band during the grunge era. Plenty of bands ahead of them.

I’ll gladly parade on your downvote rain.
