Grunge Is Dead
Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music | Greg Prato
4 posts | 3 read | 5 to read
Grunge Is Dead weaves together the definitive story of the Seattle music scene through a series of interviews with the people who were there. Taking the form of an "oral" history, this books contains over 130 interviews, along with essential background information from acclaimed music writer Greg Prato. The early '90s grunge movement may have last only a few years, but it spawned some of the greatest rock music of all time: Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden. This book contains the first-ever interview in which Pearl Jam's Eddie Vedder was willing to discuss the group's history in great detail; Alice in Chains' band members and Layne Staley's mom on Staley's drug addiction and death; insights into the Riot Grrrl movement and oft-overlooked but highly influential Seattle bands like Mother Love Bone/Andy Wood, the Melvins, Screaming Trees, and Mudhoney; and much more. Grunge Is Dead digs deeper than the average grunge history, starting in the early '60s, and explaining the chain of events that gave way to the grunge movement. The end result is a book that includes a wealth of previously untold stories and insight for the longtime fan, as well as its renowned story for the newcomer. Grunge Is Dead collects the whole truth of grunge music in one comprehensive volume.

I‘m seeing all these #90sPlaylist and #90sSpringFling posts and I‘m not sure what they are for but that‘s my decade so I‘m joining in 😬

Of course in the middle is the first EP from my forgettable high school garage band circa 1998 🤦🏻‍♂️

Leniverse Garbage 2.0 😍🤩 The spring fling is discussing Fight Club tomorrow, so do join in then too if you have read it! 6y
Palimpsest Love so many of these albums. I still regularly listen to this Breeders album, O.K. Computer and Smashing Pumpkins. 6y
tjwill Siamese Dream is possibly one of the greatest albums of all time. Lots of great choices here! 6y

BookishTrish Ok, I was a HUGE Moist fan and wish Silver had stood the test of time. That being said, I still listen to Matthew Good. 6y
DaveNeufeld @BookishTrish I literally just bought a ticket for an upcoming Moist show a few days ago! It‘s the anniversary tour and they are playing Silver front to back 😂 6y
BookishTrish Nooooooooo way! I don‘t see your dates on their website. They aren‘t coming my way... 6y
BookishTrish ...but I would still go. 6y
DaveNeufeld @BookishTrish yeah that‘s odd, it looks as though they have only announced a Calgary show. I just assumed it was a tour... 6y

It's not a yearbook photo, but I found my student ID while tearing the house apart. Students can't afford haircuts. #LitsyYearbook

Woke up and literally gasped at the news that Chris Cornell has died. I'm playing Soundgarden on Spotify and trying to start my day.

As a teen in the 90s, I grew up listening to "grunge" and Temple of the Dog's "Hunger Strike" remains an audio trigger to that time period.

Sending thoughts to Cornell's family, friends, and fans. ??

CocoReads Same here. I'm devastated. 7y
Lauren.Archer My husband woke me to this news. I am also teen of the 90's and this music was life changing for me. I am curious to know how he died. 7y
dariazeoli @Lauren.Archer I hope it's fake news but I'm seeing reports of suicide. Shocking. 7y
