so, I was looking for the 80's song "Destination Unknown" and I was of course distracted by the thumbnail of this. Watch it with the volume down. You're welcome.
They definitely shot themselves in the foot by putting that song on that video.
No, and her ex-band there and I are pretty close. The drummer I see a few times a year, he plays with a country guy now that play the Brick quite a bit. And the guitarist in the a very popular WA band Dusty 45s
Last night I got the urge to listen to Judas Priest's stained class album. A friend of mine gave me a kayset (Arnold in the skateroom would always say "what you using? 8-track or kayset) of it back around 1980 or so. That was the friend that saw me in the parking lot of the Eric Clapton concert and told me I'd leave by about the 3rd song,which I did. Anyway,harold (my buddy) was over in desert storm and he was some sort of medical worker and he died some years ago of cancer,another friend talked to him not too long before he died and harold said pretty much everyone he was around over there ended up getting cancer. Harold was a big guy and at the rink he really liked a girl there and the girl had a brother who was the dj at the rink and he was pretty square. So one night Harold talks the girl into going outside with him and a little while later they come back in and Harold has got a huge smile. Normally he was pretty straight faced so I said to him "looks like you had a pretty good time". He says "she just gave me a blowjob!" but he was somehwat laughing/trying to hold back laughter so I asked what's up what's so funny. He said when they were making out and she stuck her hand down his pants she stopped kissing him and said "my god your big". So Harold and I go tell Kevin (he was the guy that spied on the blowjob queen with me) and a couple other dudes were hanging around down there (the skateroom),and here comes old mr. squarebritches. To give you an idea about this guy,his dad had a shop and when the kid was about 13 or so he'd call other shops in the area and say <I'm so and so vice president of this shop" and then ask something really stupid. Finally a few shop owners called his dad to put a stop to it. So he comes down and starts asking Harold a mess of questions like what's your plans for education,what's your job. Harold at the time was 15 or 16 and he didn't have a car. So finally the brother said "no one dates my sister without my approval" and he walked away. As he walked away one of the guys said to the rest of us "I wonder how he feels about her just giving a guy a blowjob?" and we all laughed our ass off.
Anyway,stained class then I listened to hell bent for leather and then point of entry. I don't know why Priest never got to where say,Iron Maiden status. I know a few years back they played Detroit at a big outdoor place and it was sold out or pretty close,but a couple months later they came to my hometown and only about a thousand people showed up.

Back in the day I had this really long, spaghetti strap, crushed burgundy velvet, slit all the way up the right leg and I stripped it down to this song. Fucking Mad Season for the win.

Oh yay, are you a Seattle scene fan in general? Mudhoney, Mother Lovebone, Screaming Trees?
"Despite not having a single song completely prepared (only beginnings of songs, according to Martin) and not even having a name for the band, McCready scheduled an unannounced show at the Crocodile Cafe on October 12, 1994, which turned out to be a big success.[5] The song "Artificial Red", which was also to appear on the album, actually came together during the show itself."
I lived in Seattle from 1991 to 1993, right when the shit was going down, and I was in my early 20s. You knew what was happening was special, and I never thought AIC or Nirvana (they were late to the party) would go anywhere. Soundgarden seemed destined for international fame. Boy, missed that call for sure.

Where do you fall on "Is Nirvana Grunge" argument? I say no.

An odd thought, some would say they were the most grunge and the rest of Seattle music was punk or metal. I watched AIC at Bumbershoot back in the day and thought they were metal rap.
That said, Nirvana had a unique sound and song writing that set them apart, for good or bad. If Pearl Jam is what grunge should be, then no, Nirvana is not grunge.

I think they are all Alternative Rock but Grunge to me requires a heavy metal influence that Nirvana seems to lack. Obviously Grohl is a headbanger. But he was just a fucking drummer in that band. He doesn't count.
