green river-swallow my pride

[JMAXWELLR96]

??? Is there anyone out there who likes ALL grunge bands/music? Because I do and whenever i read YouTube video comments and people are arguing about whether people do or don't like some grunge bands I just laugh because some people are so close-minded when it comes to grunge bands, They need to open their minds to all grunge music and realize alot of the early grunge bands consisted of members of later grunge bands, and that most bands were close friends with one another and drew-off eachother.

[SemiToneBlew]

Love to ride my back with this song.

[metalgod1967]

some of the best grunge was green river, malfunkshon, mother love bone, mudhoney, and early soundgarden. amongst some others. L7 and the fastbacks too!

[grungemetall]

@metalgod1967 and hazel

[bogscraper]

screw squirrel jam and pound garden and simple of the dog! Green River and Mudhoney Nailed It! Good Music tons of passion and then corporate media buys them up...and well at least Grunge died a death instead of whimpering on like the new so called Punk! Fuck YOU assholel lavine and blank 182! lol

[zakzero123]

did soundgarden originally do this or was it green river?

[JMAXWELLR96]

@zakzero123 Green River

[WhaleBlueTwentyTwo]

I'm sorry but musically, Nirvana were by far and away the worst grunge band by several miles. Pearl Jam (maybe not now, but in their heyday) were incredible, Alice in Chains were too, and Soundgarden blew them away just for good measure.

To this day I'm not quite sure why Nirvana have the following that they do, but out of all the grunge albums released in 1991, Nevermind wasn't a patch on Ten or Badmotorfinger.

[PGgnGTAVC95]

@WhaleBlueTwentyTwo

seems like you never listened to 'Bleach', and nobody says that 'Nevermind' is Grunge, its just mainstream-oriented Rock. In their beginning, Nirvana was a very good Grunge-Band, e.g. Spank Thru, Pen Cap Chew or Floyd the Barber.

[ZzDe0]

@WhaleBlueTwentyTwo You were exposed to a really bad definition of grunge.

[dissident93]

Hey guys, I uploaded the version from "Come on Down" as a video response.

[doctorsensual77]

Holy fuck!! There's Mother Love Bone's riffs and Mudhoney's voice and lyrics. This is pure alternative!!!

[JJfelicia]

so many trolls.. just enjoy this song.

[DW01]

Quite awful

[patdthomas]

Just give me some B.O.C.

This is nothing more than a finger in my ass.

[a1rh3add]

Nirvana is the greenday of grunge

[pheeddapheed]

@a1rh3add

Whats that suppost to mean? I consider greenday to be a laughable silly rockband.

but I understand that there's a load of fans that praise them for what they do.

so explain man.. What do you mean man?

[a1rh3add]

@pheeddapheed I mean both bands changed the way their genre was perceived by the masses. They pushed their genre into the mainstream.

[pheeddapheed]

@a1rh3add, punk is mainstream. grunge is mainstream.

always has been mainstream since certain recordlabels were searching for other typed bands. take madonna, artists like her asked for such astronomic amounts of money in front that they had to find something else, they found that there's more than enough ability to do so in Seattle. As you may have noticed, there were A LOT grunge bands. They are in fact not pushed into mainstream but created it themselves, for they could follow their dream.

[laynestaley1990]

i think you just answered your own question if you re-read your post. nirvana is alright but compared to a lot of the other bands in that scene like willard, screaming trees alice in chains and pearl jam, they ( IN M Y OPINION) are just loud pop. bleach was something i felt they could have expanded upon because it was truly different and new. but i feel that never mind was just loud pop music and after songs like man in the box hit # 20 on the billboard nevermind was the lucky ticket to fame.

[pheeddapheed]

@laynestaley1990 I Agree with you on that. adding though, everything that enters popcharts is considered pop music. what does pop music stand for? popular music. wich means a lot fans buy their albums, before that means that they sell lot's of albums and so mass commercialized (not so well explained sorry. but you get the point i guess) Peace

[PieceofMindmusic]

@laynestaley1990 well thats basically all Nirvana ever was, the Beatles style of rockpopnroll  cranked up to Black Sabbath volumes and doused in heavy Black Flag influence and set a blazed.

or like you said "Loud Pop". Bleach was terribly original, it sounded more or less like a bunch a ton of bands from around the Seattle area sounded at the time (like Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Skin Yard, Tad, some of what the Screaming Tress and a few other bands) and they all had basically the same influences.

[laynestaley1990]

@PieceofMindmusic the only thing that bleach had in common with any of screaming trees cds is that they were recorded in seattle. totally different sounding bands. as were all of seattles bands. screaming trees. alice pj and nirvana especially sounded much different from each other. nirvana turned way too poppy and kurt would go out of his way to sing bad... and that just isnt my style. i prefer the others.

[PieceofMindmusic]

@laynestaley1990 well i agree bleach is definitly way heavier a record than most any of what the screaming trees did, thats why i said only "some" of what they did was similar. take the song 'Clairoyance' for instance, that is similar to Nirvana's early sound a bit.

and i agree many of the most popular "grunge" bands didnt sounded very much alike at times.

and your entitled to your opinion of course. I dig the poppy direction they went in, "On a plane" "Been a son" "all apologies" are beauts

[wegotito]

love that riff

[agnurG]

I recommend you the movie Hype! to put this grunge thing into perspective. bit like reading comments here but with genuine info and moving pictures:)

[Jhosk95]

@agnurG That movies Great! Or Documentary, btw guys type hype in and you can watch it part by part on youtube.

[OlyDIAtubes]

I like Dinosaur Jr. mucho ... grinsgrins

[Silverchairbabe]

Great song!

[jonnyboy44756]

Black Eyed Peas own this shit.

[denhelderman]

how does this not sound grunge to you? oh well everyone has theyre own opinion i gues.

[Andymalcolm1]

This song rocks!!!!!Soundgarden is better in this song

[CapitainHiTop]

i read that they are gunna record a new album when they all get the chance, and possibly tour :D

it might take a while cause jeff and stone are in pearl jam and mark is in mudhoney

[toocheaptobuyatripod]

This is the definitive grunge. My favorite dead band. :)

[PanterAmetal100]

goddamn it's fuckin' heavy metal

[MosquitoSprint]

I wish i still had this LP

[tray92]

always the haters.... all y'all shudup and listen to the fucking song. That is why you are here, not to argue about Kurt Cobain's clothes....

[TheLegitMan93]

Who's the girl speaking in this song?

[KMO325]

This band is a Seattle group that lasted from late 70s to mid 80s. They were the predecessors or original grunge band (between them and Mother Love Bone). When this band broke up half of it became Mudhoney, the other half became Mother Love Bone until that band broke up and became half of Pearl Jam.

[yuothineyesasian]

@KMO325

Late 70's to mid 80's, more like 84-88

[KMO325]

@yuothineyesasian My mistake, thank for the correction man.

[BrianCulticeMusic]

dude... green river is the heralded album by ccr. jesus christ. Get out of the bubble lol

[TheAirsoftNewb]

i miss kurt

[jorgencream]

knew him did you???

I'm sure he misses you too.

[yuothineyesasian]

Kurt was a faggot

[VioletCherrySaphire]

@yuothineyesasian go die

[yuothineyesasian]

@VioletCherrySaphire

Better to burn our than to fade away right?

[KurdtKobain09]

is this the same green river that made ccr? Cuz they seem really different

[AdamskiFTW]

umm, CCR was a band that had a song called Green RIver.. nothing to do with the band Green River

[KurdtKobain09]

You sure green river didn't do ccr?

I'm confused....

[AdamskiFTW]

Yeah i'm sure. CCR is a band - Credence Clearwater Revival, my mate bought one of their CDs the other day and we were listening to the song Green River in the car ;)

[KurdtKobain09]

No no no green river is the band and ccr is the song. But there is a band called green river creedence.

[AdamskiFTW]

No mate. This band is called Green River yeah, but they don't have a song called CCR. CCR is also the name of a late 60s rock band and that band has a song called Green River. The two have nothing to do with each other. Go look it up

[kittenkiller69696969]

John Fogerty sounds really INTENSE in this song. He must also be using some different pedals, his tone is different. Keep on rollin down that river, Beotch!

[yuothineyesasian]

lol

[yuothineyesasian]

@kittenkiller69696969

nice

[lulzfactor59]

Classic. Btw, Green River wasn't the FIRST grunge band. They were one among several that all created the scene together. Check out the Deep Six compilation - all of those bands on there deserve credit.

[electroxjunkie]

Yessir. I completely agree. Grunge in it's true form. The Melvins were too.

[heavytomthumb]

THIS is grunge. True fuckin' Seattle shit right here.

[grungedudeperson]

i love green river. super inspirational band, grunge will not die.

[relax240]

JDuncanM1369 there're pictures and videos from 1984 where you can see Kurt looking exactly like in 1991. Kurt was original.

[coffinshaker]

I like the Fastbacks version

[degjo]

You're forgetting about Mudhoney, two members of Green River got Mudhoney together.

The first Grunge band was Mr. Epps and the Calculations

[coffinshaker]

I'm not forgetting. I live in Seattle and was playing the circuit in the late 80's early 90's . I know most of these guys/gals, I just think the Fastbacks did a good job with this tune.

[pedgaladnh]

not really. rem started in 1976.

[WOWNERD89]

estring8 u r so dumb lol green river was the 1st grunge band like 5 years before nirvana

[estring8]

how come someone in every grunge looked like kurt cobain

[JDuncanM1369]

Do you mean "How come Kurt looked like all of his influences?"

Hmm. That's a fucking tough one.

[musicfreak1331]

lol i agree with you on that one lets face it kurt was pissy about grunge bands coming out and just taking over the sound like pearl jam and stuff but he was like 3 years behind them all soundgarden, green river and then mother love bone he was not the godfather of it all just the guy who got lucky with the smells like teen spirit video that opened the door for everyone

[theachtungtree]

@JDuncanM1369 kurt was a mayor douche....not only he bitched out "oh...those guys are sounding so mainstream and they suck" while he was doing photoshots with anton corbijn and giving his ass to mtv...on top of that he totally dismissed pj without even looking a straight fact that both gossard and jeff contributed shitload to the seattle scene......fuck him

[1337huntard]

@JDuncanM1369 actually, kurt does bear a striking resemblance to leadbelly, dont you think?

[templeofcoy]

So this is the same song Soundgarden did, who wrote it???

[southernsilk]

are you stupid? this came out years before

use your brain before opening your lunatic mouth, piece of human garbage

[templeofcoy]

Well I don't know when this came out. I think Soundgarden's came out in 88.

So "piece of human garbage" is that your signature? Do you add that at the end of all your comments? My wondering who wrote a song is a measure of intelligence, to you??? With that and your premature insults, I think anyone can see you are showing that you are "stupid" and a "piece of human garbage", lol. I'm sure you don't comprehend, but let's do this. Youtube pissing contests are so cool;)

[southernsilk]

LOL and you're still talking! shut the hell up idiot - if you knew for a fact that you weren't a first class imbecile you wouldn't feel the dire need to justify your stupidity to me

but I guess you did XD

[templeofcoy]

nice try, you can see what everyone thought of your insult and my response. Like I said, you obviously can't comprehend and you just proved it and you just proved it. Good job!

[southernsilk]

XD

enjoy your satisfaction retard

[CaNz3r]

Jesus... touchy ey ?

[lux63]
