People still love grunge. Maybe its just the nostalgia of it, but my band, a mix between thrash/groove/hardcore/jam music/and u name it, played a cover of Nirvana’s “Breed” at our last show and got the whole crowd goin insaine. We had several people come up on stage and sing along and head banging and jumping around was rampant. By far the best response all night–grunge music enjoyed by a metal crowd. Don’t try to say grunge killed metal in the early 90s, metal killed metal in the late 80s. Things go in cycles.

As much as i liked Pearl Jam and Nirvana back in the day, their legacy is a double edged sword. They made hair metal look so silly that most of those bands rightfully lost their audience.

Unfortunately they also took the wind out of the overall surge in interest in metal from the 80s. Legit metal bands had difficulty getting signed and supported.

Probably worst of all, they inspired a generation of mopey crap like Staind, Creed, and Seether. Mainstream rock has yet to recover.

On the other hand, Mudhoney and Screaming Trees rule.

Andrew, that song does kick ass. They only put out two albums. Both excellent hard rock efforts.

I actually have My Sister’s Machine “Diva” on CD/on my iPod, believe it or not. That song “I’m Sorry” still kicks ass to this day…

My Sister’s Machine…

And how did a bunch of bands who sounded nothing alike, but just dressed in a similar fashion, be lumped into a largely non-existent genre whose name was a media creation?
