Of course you don't. - joey

I like Foo Fighters and Hole better - RAPatton

I don't like Foo Fighters or Hole or Pearl Jam or any of that stuff. I'm rather glad that I wasn't living here during the grunge thing. - Akiva Moskovitz

Actually, I really like Nirvana's unplugged cover of Bowie's The Man Who Sold the World. - Akiva Moskovitz

It doesn't happen as much now but it used to be that when people online learned that I live in Seattle, I'd always get comments like, "Oh, do you know the members of [Seattle grunge band]?" Right, and everyone who works at Microsoft knows each other, too. - Rochelle

You mean you don't know Dave Grohl personally? WTF am I still doing talking to you then? SHEESH. *storms off the internet* - tinypants - Hagitha of FF

Nirvana was one of the worst live acts I ever saw. Boring. I do like Pearl Jam, and I did meet Kim Thayil once at a Mariners game... does that count? - Bren, Not Grinchy

wait, you've never met Bill Gates? - Jim Hearts FF

Yesterday I met someone (at work) who doesn't know *anyone* who works at Microsoft and I admit, I was a little taken aback. - joey

Being in my mid-twenties and living in Seattle in 91 meant being around all of those people, all of the time. It wasn't difficult to know them. If you drank and smoked pot, proximity was a given. The OK Hotel, The Comet, The Offramp, The Crocodile, The Mecca Cafe. Where else were the musicians gonna go? It's not like Mark Arm was trying to hide from anyone. - Christopher Harley

Christopher, in 1991, I was 10 years old. :) - Rochelle

Then you should've known their nieces and nephews, Rochelle! Grunge is all about networking! - Christopher Harley

I'm with you, Akiva. I liked Nirvana for about a month, then got over it. For me, I was the same way with Pearl Jam. It's not to say I don't like music that came out of that "scene," I'm just not particularly fond of either of those bands. Old Soundgarden was great. Meat Puppets are fantastic. Temple of the Dog is near the top of my favorite albums list. - Curtiss Grymala

Me neither, Akiva. - Steven Perez

That's not allowed where you live. - Eric @ CSTechcast.com

Are we talking about the grunge band or the state of being? - Matthew DeVries

The state of being is kinda boring, too. But not nearly as caterwauley as the band was. - Steven Perez from IM

RCKNDY was my Studio 54! - Christopher Harley

I miss RCKNDY. Sigh. And the Velvet Elvis. I do not miss the Teen Dance Ordinance. - joey

I was never a fan either. Pearl Jam is also on the list - if you've heard 30 seconds of their music, there's no reason to ever listen to any more 'cause its all the same. - jcunwired

I saw The Fall at the Backstage in Ballard. Mark E. Smith in BALLARD! - Christopher Harley

I liked RCKNDY! But my second home was Satyricon in Portland. That's where I first saw Nirvana (pre-Bleach, as I recall) and I think it was there that I saw Mother Love Bone before Andrew died and they re-formed as Pearl Jam. And I saw Soundgarden when they were pretty brand new at Pine St. Theatre in Portland. - vicster

The only difference between Cobain and Vicious is that Sid had the forethought to save the rest of us from his wife. - Jeremy (cropmarks)

Nice, Vicster! Now Satyricon is such in name only. New owners for the last 6 years or so. Way different vibe. The Pine St. Theater became La Luna but is now offices and condos I think. It's definitely not a live music venue but back in 94-99 it had the best shows in Portland. - Christopher Harley

Jeremy - I thought she killed him first? - Matthew DeVries

Truly not surprised. Not in the least bit. - CW™

*fistbump* - Alex Scoble

I do, but then again I'm a pretty emo person. - Mathew™ one of a kind

@Christopher. Sixth Avenue changed so radically after they extended the bus mall and lit it all up LOL! I was at the Dharma Bums show the night of the "Satyricon Riot". That was the beginning of the end of Satyricon (even though he didn't sell for a few more years)...George had just had enough. :-( The other venue I miss is Blue Gallery. LOVED that place! - vicster

MOTHER LOVE BONE! IN YOUR FACE AKIVA! - Carlos Ayala

"On the morning of 12 October 1978, Vicious claimed to have awoken from a drugged stupor to find Nancy Spungen dead on the bathroom floor of their room in the Chelsea Hotel in Manhattan, New York. She had suffered a single stab wound to her abdomen and apparently bled to death. The knife used had been bought by Sid on 42nd Street and was identical to a collector's knife given to punk rock vocalist Stiv Bators by Dee Dee Ramone. According to Dee Dee's wife at the time,[18] Vera King Ramone, Sid had bought the knife after seeing Stiv's. Sid was arrested and charged with her murder. Vicious said they had fought that night but gave conflicting versions of what happened next, saying "I stabbed her, but I didn't mean to kill her. I loved her, but she treated me like shit", then saying he didn't remember and at one point arguing Spungen had fallen onto the knife. When asked why he left the deceased in the bathroom, wounded, and went out to get his methadone, he said "oh, I am a dog", or similar words." - THE ALMIGHTY WIKI - Jeremy (cropmarks)

@Carlos, Mother Love Bone was awesome! - vicster

I don't particularly love Nirvana, but if they were playing in my parking lot, I'd probably go outside to check them out. - Matthew DeVries

phlemers of blas, the lot of you. - Josh Haley

I was really partial to Nirvana. I was just the right age for Bleach and Nevermind to hit me hard...growing up in Seattle didn't hurt either. I actually went to Cobain's vigil at the Seattle Center and shed a tear of true sadness. Later Nirvana and any other grunge leaves me cold though. I couldn't care less about StoneMotherTempleChainGardenJam. I went straight from Nirvana into Electronic Music. Heh. - veo

I almost felt bad when I realized I only liked one of their songs. Do like Soundgarden tho. The rest can go. - Matt Hilton

Is this a grunge backlash? Like the disco backlash of the 80s? I was young, stoned and wild in the early 90s and grunge was the soundtrack, for better or worse... Favourite? Soundgarden, by far... Rusty Cage was good enough for Johnny Cash to cover. ;) - T. Brent, technopeasant

I still like that grunge stuff, actually. (The techno/trance/etc. stuff that hit at about the same time, too, in fact.) It derives in part from punk, so it matches my musical sensibility. Disclosure: from near Seattle. - Dennis Jernberg

The new live DVD is okay... may need to watch it again, but the re-release of Bleach is golden. - T. Brent, technopeasant

@akiva Oh, hey! I do like Nirvana! How about that. - Czar
