I actually watched that for the first time a few months ago. Back in the day, I didn't realize just how young some of those guys were. But yeah, that's my kind of music.

There's a little nightclub near here that has a lot of the old hair metal guys come through. I had a chance to see LA Guns recently, but missed it. Missed WASP and Ace Frehley too. I'm especially kicking myself for missing WASP as my buddy and I both just completely forgot about the show. The other shows were just really bad nights to go to a concert and it just didn't work out. But Doro will be here later this month, and Great White is coming back too.
I saw W.A.S.P. the opening bands were Raven, and Slayer talk about a wild show. Doro Pesch? Hopefully Great White will leave there pyro at home.

I seen WASP with Metal Church and Accept. Heh... good show...

as for Slayer.... Damn those boys put on a good show. My band opend up for them and those boys... are intense before they go on the stage....

I mean scary intense.

OK! Here's my Great White story...

I was at a very lax piano recital in Minneapolis. There were maybe 3 or 4 dancers cycling through all night. When they got off of the stage there was no hurry for them to put tops on or anything. My buddy and I wound up talking to one girl (topless) and asking her what she did besides strip. She said she drove the Great White tour bus. This was before the pyrotechnic incident. She said she was leaving with them in a couple of days. Who knows, she could have been lying to us, but for Great White, why?!?

I'm pretty sure Piano Recital wasn't what I originally said....

I was wondering if strippers at piano recitals was really that common...

Wait, did it filter something to put in piano recitals. If it did that is hilarious.

I was actually in a Great White Video shoot.

Crowd scene. They played the song for the video like four times, it was a bit old by then.

But when they put the camera into the crowd, we just lost it.

One of the best albums ever
I've lost my love of it that I used to have. I was strongly anti-Nirvana at the time but I have come to really appreciate them, In Utero is one of my favorite albums, Cobain had really come far as a song writer. I was listening to Ten the other day and I realized just how weak Vedders vocals are over all. He really did get by on hype and his strong lyrics.

Once and Even Flow are great songs though.
I think Chris Cornell had more range.
Definate emphasis on had but definately. 'Badmotorfinger' is still in my top 5 albums of all time. Layne Staley had more range than the both of them combined IMO, just a shame he was a junkie.
Oh no... Chris cornell has WAY more range than Layne Staley and that is coming from some one who LOVES Alice in Chains.

Badmotorfinger was great... but if you haven't hears Louder than Love... well you are definately missing out. Its a completely different type of sound than they have done or anyone else for that matter.

Cornell could hit the high notes better than any of they guys.... but I'd take Layne Staley over him any day. Sometimes Cornell sounded like he was ..... shrieking.

and I think that Cobain never got the credit he deserved for his singing ability.

It is rare that you hear a great sounding Nirvana cover. (IMO)

I liked the Tori Amos smells like teen spirit cover . . .

But I think most people either love his voice or hate it . . . For the most part, the songs just don't work the same for me with a different voice . . .

That might be it. We tried to do some Nirvana jams when I was in a "band", we could just never pull it off. The closest we ever got was In Bloom.

One of the first bands I was in had a singer that sounded dangerously close to the way Cobain sang. I loved it... needless to say we did a lot of Nirvana covers. The funny thing is he lost that "gift" as he got older and just became another screaming nobody.

Bummer.

One of the harder Nirvana songs to "pull off" I always thought was Pennyroyal Tea. The jump from the quiet verse to the chorus is just very hard to hit just right.

The unplugged version is timeless. One of the best Nirvana recordings I ever heard.

Can't say I listened to anything when I read (or in my case, skimmed) Valiant comics, but I got into them in 1994 around the time Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" was a hit, so when I heard the song it would usually remind me of Solar.
