Soundgarden was sort of established before Nirvana got big, but I think Nirvana had a hand in making PJ, AIC, Sonic Youth, etc more popular than they would have been. They also made bands like Pixies and The Meat Puppets far more popularity than they were before.
No shit. Like they say on Slashdot, "don't feed the troll".Quote:
And before you accuse me of being homophobic or some shit, I am gay (though you can still accuse me of being a pinko commie bastard who believes in the Blank Slate if you want... I kinda miss that). I just think this is a banal question obviously posted to piss people off. But then again, I wouldn't expect any less from you.
Sonic Youth's breakthrough album was Daydream Nation, which was released in 1988. Same with the Pixies (Surfer Rosa). So...Quote:

Pearl Jams' less heavy hitting stuff usually has something underlying that you have to pick up after a few listens of the song/album in question. A LOT of people hated No Code, but that album had some truly killer tracks on it. Present Tense, Lukin, Who You Are, In My Tree. Just some examples.
Soundgarden was a killer band too, and put out some truly amazing albums, but their pool dried up, thats why they broke up. PJ is still making and releasing good music. MVS is somehow against thier "pinko views" which usually end up making vast amounts of money for charities, but whatever. If you've ever seen PJ live ,you know how fun it is to see Eddie with a bottle of wine dancing around.
If anyone remembers Temple of the Dog, [Hunger Strike], Cornell recently came to a PJ show and did a couple 'Slave tunes and a couple Temple songs with Eddie and the boys. Since Matt Cameron is on drums in PJ now it was the same backing band from all those years ago with their same vocalist. The recording is being released to ten club, so keep your eye on sharing services for it.
Cobain definitely broke the Seattle scene, without him you wouldn't know who SG, or PJ was I speculate. He broke the stranglehold Mike Jackson and Whitesnake had on the world. Pearl Jam is my favourite grunge band by far, but they didn't have the impact that Nirvana did on the scene. Cobains' sexuality? It's none of my business, but I do know that he wore dresses while preforming, and in the In Bloom vid. I think Cobain was trying to tear down some borders.
In the early 90s AIDS was the big scare you know? Leading out of the eighties, and then people like Magic Johnson, Easy E, etc etc contracting AIDS. That brought the gay community in the spotlight, and a lot of people feared it. I think with that kiss, and the dresses and whatnot, Cobain was trying to bring the people together through the only way he knew - his music. Since it was already breaking down musical borders, why not try other borders? It gave the straight people who idolized him something to think about, and the gay people someone to relate to a bit more I guess?
Anyway to wrap it up, I'm going to say that I've had acctual mature conversations with DiffX about homosexual issues such as gay marrige, and he wasn't condecending from what I recall, him and I have our sparring matches, but you shouldn't put words in his mouth. And no, Cobain wasn't gay, he just wanted some peace, man.
Right you are, Mzo.Quote:

My Cousin got to see SG, PJ, and Neil Young in concert once, lucky bastard.
Another cousin got to go to Lollapalooza 91 too. I get all the bad luck.
Except of course, that is what Parcher Duke of Douche does. He just twists conversations around something ridiculous. It's not worth talking to him.Quote:

Yup.
Just hold on a second. I've already discussed this with a Gay guy and he said that necking (not a peck) is quite satisfactory. I mean serious kissing and a some grabbing.Quote:
