  • song on 5:30?

  • @absinth42 screaming trees "nearly lost you"

  • I don't dislike Pearl Jam at all - I think they're really cool, but I just don't hear them as a grunge band. I see their roots and stuff but their sound is just aside from that. they are a great rock band, but they don't "have that grunge thing" that all the other ones had.

  • the grunge era.. haha..

  • God, I feel so old now. I was in high school when all this went down. I remember the 1st time I heard teen spirit. It was the single most exciting era in my life. These bands r the soundrack of my teenage years.

  • @paulandj check out violent soho

  • @jugularjordan cool, I ran in to some modern metal bands from canada that have an 80's sound, I hope they make it, cant remember their names though.

  • Song at 4:49???????

  • @buttcracker007 them bones- Alice in chains

  • i cant stand the narrators voice

  • Man, I'm so happy I grew up during this time. I feel bad for the high school/college kids that are in this generation. I can't think of a single band I listen to from this era. I can name a ton from the 90's... Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, Dave Matthews, Smashing Pumpkins, STP, REM, Dr. Dre, Snoop, Pac, Biggie, TLC, The Cranberries, Radiohead, Bush, Green Day, Nine Inch Nails, Soundgarden, Public Enemy, Sublime, No Doubt, Jane's Addiction, Sonic Youth, Rage Against the Machine...

  • Lived it. Loved it.

  • Im black and grunge is my favorite genre.

  • whatever lamestain. Grunge was awesome.  Catch you all on the flippity-flop...

  • Too bad Pearl Jam sucks.

  • whats the song at 5:23

  • @Torontoraptures "I nearly lost you" by screaming trees

  • @T1ly Um Patti Smith? Joan Jett? Sherrie Currie? Janis Joplin? Tina Turner?..Hell Courtney Love's band Hole? Look I know you don't like Nancy, Courtney, or Yoko ( she's the biggest bitch out of ALL of them) but to say women and rock bands don't mix is the DUMBEST and most ignorant thing I have ever read in my life.

  • We need a new rock and roll take over. We gave rap 15 years now we need to kick these fucking hipster band in the ass and take back over the angery, energetic, and rock sceens.

  • Thank -You

  • I love the narrators voice.

  • i hate it nowadays wen sum1 is ridin wit me or hears dat im listenin 2 Pearl Jam, and they say "y do they sound like creed?" I HATE THAT!

  • idk y Pear Jam wood be considered "fake grunge" wen the band formed rom Temple of the Dog, wit chris cornell & matt cameron of Soundgarden, and THAT band wuz formed from the ashes of Mother Love Bone (which almost broke through as the biggest grunge band if andy wood didnt die), and THAT band kinna formed from Green River, which is considered 1 of the most influential bands in the grunge movement

  • I'm a hip hop fan but what the fuck happened to rock everything sounds like idk pop music these days, i haven't heard a good rock song in years.

  • @paulandj You and alot of other concerned rock lovers agree. I had thought by now something, someone would break the ice and put an end to the American Idol generation of rock.... god i pains me to even say rock and American Idol in the same sentence. Oh well still waiting.

  • @paulandj Amen

  • Comment removed

  • @paulandj every song on disturbed's new album, or staind's, check em out

  • @paulandj So true, it's like the quality of music just started dying after 2000. Even hip hop is not as good as it was in the 90's.

  • @paulandj

    To be fair, the same can be said about mainstream rap. The RIAA has done everything in their power to destroy both genres, so we don't have a choice but to go underground these days.

  • @paulandj Well I created this facebook page called "Spread the word of good newer grunge bands" that so far has had over 250 bands posted, so maybe you can find something there.

  • Thank god Stone Temple Pilots came around, or else we might still be calling Pearl Jam "fake grunge."

  • SCREAMING TREES

  • Flannel shirts are still fkin expensive and according to most people....grunge is dead -___-

  • @EazyEandG Dude, I bought my flannel shirts for $3 at a thrift store. And grunge might be dead, but that doesn't mean it can't come back.

  • @donwantstobesedated EXACTLY.....hopefully it will.

  • Who the fuck dislikeed this???Are u people crazy????

  • @imortalsappy Grunge was word sure origonally used by mark arm but the fucking media took hold of it and slapped it on anything and ecverything they could at the time to sell 100 dollar flannel shirts and a attitude to smartass rich kids. For me, the word and the way it still gets used today kinda pisses me off. Call me a purist , i dunno. I know its commonly accepted to cover the genre but it kinda wince every time i hear it.

  • What is the song playing at the 7 min mark...

  • @imortalsappy i think it grunge should have been called heroin or coke.

    cause that's the only thing all these bands have in common.(and seattle).

    and yea were living in the lamest times of music..

    nothing happened after the whole grunge scene..

    absolutely nothing for rock music anyways.

  • @imortalsappy probably coz grunge was a dying whore anyways...it was over by the time they released "in utero".....

    grunge was just a tag..... we would have still heard band like mother love bone,alice in chains, tad and sound garden just because they are good at what they do..not beacuse of some fucking music scene that supposedly revolved around nirvana... don't get me wrong i love nirvana.

  • Even dough i was born in the early 90s i didnt listen too its music but now i look back and listen to bands like nirvana and alice in chains because todays music sucks ass....

  • Alice In Chains is the only band i have respect for not calling there self grunge, there were Metal

  • @BlindMelon1993 Bluesy Metal

  • @BlindMelon1993 soundgarden considered themselves metal too

  • more like a nirvana special by part 3....

  • Pearl Jam fake Grunge! Thats right! Always thought the same!

  • SILVERCHAIR!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

  • why wasn't Temple of the Dog mentioned?? After Andy Wood died, Mother Love Bone's remaining members joined up with Chris Cornell and they formed Temple of the Dog in tribute to Wood. On the one album they released, Cornell was having issues with the song Hungerstrike and they brought in Eddie Vedder to help. Then after this side project the mlb members and vedder formed Pearl jam.......sorry to ramble, but why weren't the mentioned?? they were great!

  • @michael822212 No Pearl jam joined with Chris cornell because eddie was with them. The drummer was with soundgarden though.

  • @TheRealSonicYouth oh true lol either way, im still annoyed that Temple of the Dog wasn't mentioned >_<

  • @michael822212 Yeah me too

  • whats the name of that song by the nirvana in the begining

  • @dryeys territorial pissings

  • I was born on the year when music died

  • its fucking sic when Alice comes in at 4:47 its. like the badasses have arrived. They were the coolest out of all of them. Actually they were the best period. it seems they had the most fun. A whole lot of SEX, DRUGS, MONEY, AND ROCKN ROLL. Its sucks the way it ended though but i bet they had a really good time while it lasted......................La­yne is awesome.

  • They forgot the missing link of Mother Love Bone and Pearl Jam. Temple of Dog equals Soundgarden plus Pearl Jam.

  • 60's rocknroll, 70's classic rock, 80's hair metal, 90's grunge, 00's nothing, this next decade-hopefully something better.

  • @maxmatt4

    dude seriously? have you ever heard of metalcore?

  • miss the days when music was art and not fashion... Fashion vs Passion

  • @peroulis I kind of see what you are saying, I'm looking at the bands of today and all of them look all tarted up and I think the mainstream music pressures the bands to look "hot" and "sexy" and less musical which kills the whole music in my opinion. Good looks is not music to me, GOOD ART is GOOD MUSIC in my opinion. I could care less what someone looks like, if their music is good, that's awesome to me

  • to me 10 is probably one of the best albums EVER!!!

  • Kurt Cobain is my biggest inspiration. I also love Chris Cornell and it disappoints me so much that I was conceived in the month Kurt died. Respect to everyone here listening to this music.

  • loved those years, broke out and lived free

  • @JCardenas0908 I'm a Filipino and I listen to Nirvana

  • Grunge is pure white boy music.

  • @JCardenas0908 stupid ass i am mexican and i listen 2 nirvana

  • @JCardenas0908 Haha for the most part. but i'm 1/2 japanese, 1/4 mexican 14 white. I listen to it though lol :D

  • hey, look! rock isn't dead its just in a new era. it has mutated just as we have through time. like it or don't! it would be pointless to directly imitate what is no more.

    p.s. im sure some great bands will appear once a scene has accumulated enough to spit them out right in front of us. . .

  • @sausage4231 Rock (or atleast mainstream rock) has mutated into a bunch of faggy, annoying douchebags who sing songs for 13 year old girls. And it can hardly even be called rock anymore.

    However, there are good underground bands and i pray that this decade brings us the next Nirvana (what i mean by that is i hope theres a band that completely blows everything away and brings alternative back to the spotlight)

    Ive endured 8 years of shit (because anything after 2000 sucks)...NO MORE!!!! xD

  • @LongviewGD182 2002* is what i meant

  • @LongviewGD182 there are good bands now like cage the elephants they bassicaly said screw screamo and rap and threw it in there faces and just completey gave good music to the world

  • @rockcult1 Cage the Elephant is actually not that bad of a band. They aren't the best but at te time when screamo and rap were big, they did something different so I respect them for that.

  • @Kaicoyote I love them! They're my favorite band along with Foo fighters, nirvana, and alice in chains

  • @hyderulez94 Haha rock on dude! I love FF, AIC, and Nirvana as well. I need to listen to some more Cage the Elephant to determine if I "love" them though. I just think Cage are alright compared to other bands

  • Respond to this video...Yeah Yeah Yeahs are another decent one in my opinion. They are doing there own thing and I think they rock.

  • @LongviewGD182 Yes! xD TRUE ALT. ROCK needs to come back!! Bands like Nirvana, Veruca Salt, Garbage, AIC, etc. Not necessarily copy them but just make something new instead of this pop sound all music is starting to incoporate, it's so annoying. Rock is implementing to much pop into the music and I can't stand it, where is the raw heavy hard stuff? (And I'm aware of underground bands and thankful for them)

  • fuck you billy corgan

  • The 1980's sound EXACTLY like today.... Kids my age should do something about it. I know i will by the end of this decade.. :D

  • @hyderulez94 i'm working on it too ;)

  • @hyderulez94 Kickass dude! Best of luck! = D

    I'll give you a listen, anything is better then the music today (exception a few lot)

  • @hyderulez94 i am doing something XD makeing good music

  • @hyderulez94 no worst

    and we're trying

    we arent the targets anymore its 12 year old girls

  • @hyderulez94 what are you talking about the 80s had alot of great music: motorhead, acdc, dead kennedys, black flag, poison idea, 80s metallica, slayer, guns n roses, the melvins, zz top, venom, bad brains, the list goes on. What do we have today: justin bieber, lady gaga, green day, my chemical romance and loads of other crap so dont compare the 80s to today.

  • @heavytom89 well today we have some great indie stuff but most of it sucks. and in the 80's there were like gay hair metal bands too lol. the bands you named are hella sick though :PP

  • @hyderulez94 what do you got something against gay people?? LOL the 80s kicks the ass of the fucking depressive 90s

  • @hyderulez94 Wrong. How can you compare garbage aritsts like Ke$ha, Taylor Swift, Justin Bieber, Rebecca Black, Jenna Rose & other BS artists to eighties icons like Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Bruce Springsteen, Duran Duran etc. etc.? That really don't make sense. The music of the eighties were great & the nineties were much better. I feel sorry for the kids of today listening to garbage artists.

  • nirvana is fucking LAME.

  • @fatimoris you may not like nirvana, but you if you like "Grunge" music you atleast respect them becuase if it weren't for them you probably wouldn't have ever heard of every other seatle grunge band

  • i hate how pearl jam get shit saying they 'cashed in' through nirvana, the band only wrote songs and brought an album out :S what the fuck were they supposed to do...wait years later until it was too late :/

  • It's mainstream's media's presistant attempt to make the music genre known as "grunge" to become just as commercially successful as the mainstream acts of the poprock world in the 1980s.

  • look at the bright side

    sound garden

    melvins

    alice in chains

    and few other grunge bands have come back

    (except the melvins they are forever)

  • When did Kurt had a red hair??

  • "Nirvana didnt go to the mainstream, the mainstream came to nirvana"

    BULLSHIT!!!

    I hate it when people try to make it as if some suit and tie slime forced them into being rockstars

    Yeah they didnt wanna be famous, thats why they signed to a major....

  • @LongviewGD182 BULLSHIT

    what if you're a little band who did want to be famous and a major label wants to sing you

    you fucking sing but when the media digs into everything in you're life then don't expect them to say "yeah we like how the media wants to know everything im doing i don't mind at all"

  • @pivot1022 Still that doesnt change the fact that nirvana wanted to be famous

    Maybe they didnt know they would be so big and stuff, but no one FORCED them to sign

  • @LongviewGD182 nirvana wanted to be recognized not world famous stars and kurt and love got into a huge fight over a expansive car cause love wanted it and kurt didn't want rich people stuff soo

  • @pivot1022 Whatever whatever whatever im not gonna argue over trivial matters

  • @LongviewGD182 everyone wants their music to be heard, its not a bad thing to want to be famous, and Kurt wanted to be famous he just didn't want the lifestyle of fame. Its not a huge deal, there's no reason to argue

  • @ThePrettyPleases Read my last comment :)

  • @LongviewGD182

    famous? who cares? but successful? hell yeah. success is something else to everyone. some people dont know what it is to them, that is.

  • @SadieKryst

    I agree for the most part but rock and even grunge may come back. For example:

    youtube.com/watch?v=DTeds9Y5t6­8

    Regardless something new and awesome will happen even if it's not rock. People will only tolerate shitty music for so long.

  • I got past this last 10 years by listening old bands, true. But some old ones keep doing great music. Alice in Chains is back as well.

    Now, we are back to the 10's guys!. A new era, let's have hopes. I know i do.

  • 2001-2007, 2007-present, 2010-present : Audioslave (Chris Cornell of Soundgarden + 3/4 of RATM), RATM reunion and Soundgarden reunion, respectivelly . So I don't think 2000s were THAT bad, but still, they were terrible

  • this decade, 2000-2010, are the worst from a musical stand point. its not even a musical era! would it be called the new age pop, emo and death era

  • @SadieKryst

    You're right. I think it's political or something. After the terrorist attack, everyone started following the establishment. They did nothing, but nobody moved on.

  • @SadieKryst grunge was the finale of music. your right. music is so materialistic now, its impossible for a recovery.

  • @wild1033 no, it's no over there are so many kids now playing grunge everywhere... they love our generation and i have my hopes in the new genrerations, why metal and punk has so many sub generes and grunge not?

  • 2000-2010: an era with little music, and less meaning.

  • @iiiggnatiuzz and even less as time goes on. a sad reality & society that mainstream media & pop culture has done to what we used to call "alternative" music.

  • @iiiggnatiuzz 2000-2010 is the era of useless shitty hip-hop and R&B music. it's also the era of me stopping wathcing MTV and listening to radio. coincidence?

  • @iiiggnatiuzz we need to revive the 90s. i don't know how much longer i can take this pop music. Young people such as myself need to start an alternative movement and bring back Grunge, Industrial, Prog, true punk, even rap metal. be a part of the movement

  • @iiiggnatiuzz very true. sucks man, my youth and prime was in the worst decade for music

  • @iiiggnatiuzz The 10's need to bring something new!

  • @iiiggnatiuzz I feel sad it's true, not too many great gigs if you know what I mean :(

  • @iiiggnatiuzz but never mind, i am working on a time machine

  • @iiiggnatiuzz no there was good music

  • @iiiggnatiuzz I raise my glass. well said.

  • @iiiggnatiuzz

    I don't agree. Ever heard of Coheed and Cambria? 

  • One of my favorite bands was Nirvana and still is but grunge has already been done. We need something NEW. If the music world keeps recycling what had already been done, then its just not exciting. We (as music lovers, especially rock, punk, metal, and even rap) need something that is fresh and rebellous and says fuck you to the establishment. The music today sucks cause its too safe and predictable.

  • nirvana- mania... bullshit.

  • @Zatzzo you don't appreciete this music, wtf are you doing here?

  • @Agos1425

    what do you mean "you dont appreciate this music"?

  • @SadieKryst im sorry, but that's a narrow perspective. listen to Yeasayer, Animal Collective, The White Stripes. those 3 bands clearly carry on the spirit of all the great music you listed. good music never ever dies. don't assume commercial radio is what will define this era.

  • @SadieKryst That's a lame defeatist attitude. Listen to stuff on Dischord, 31G, Matador, Load, etc. There's a lot of great music from the 2000s. Open your mind. Look to the underground.

  • @SadieKryst

    Which is why its up to us to make 2010 better.

  • i hate it how grunge documentary turned into kurt cobain documentary -.-

  • @amberwandy nice reading another comment on another video, cool kid alert. and nirvana was the biggest influence in the grunge movement

  • @ff9alexander thats exactly why I wrote that. I still think Nirvana is good. Not great, awesome, brilliant, rip kurt cobain and all that crap. Nirvana can't compare to Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden, Blind Melon and all the other underrated bands from the 90's.

  • how is pearl jam fake grunge

  • Comment removed

  • oo grunge..please come back

  • fuck courtney !!!

  • catch you on the flippity flop!

  • does anybody know where to get "the man who sold the world" version that plays around 9.20???

  • @moto454 there is a version on their unplugged album which i think is their best one

  • it would be so sick if layne staley and kurt were best friends

  • @SadieKryst

    2001-2006: Garage/indie rock revival (The White Stripes, The Strokes, The Libertines, Yeah Yeah Yeahs, Franz Ferdinand, Arcade Fire, Arctic Monkeys, etc)

    But that ended a while back so...yeah we're really fucked:(

  • @SadieKryst

    (1955-1963) Rock 'n' Roll (Elvis, Little Rich, Chuck Berry, etc)

    (1963-1967) British Invasion (Beatles, the Rolling, the Kinks, etc)

    (1967-1972) Psychedelic revolution/hippies (The Doors, Jefferson Airplane, The Grateful Dead, etc)

    (1975-1984) PUNK revolution!!! (Ramones, the Sex Pistols, the Clash, etc)

    (1984-1991) Glam Metal (Gay LA Metal) and MTV domination (VERY BAD TIMES with exception 4 thrash metal and rise of hip hop)

    (1991-1996) Alternative/Grunge explosion!!!

  • Yup Yup Smashing Pumpkins were formed in Chicago and had nothing to do with the Grunge movmement.

  • krist: "there's one thing you have to remember about nirvana, nirvana didn't go to the mainstream... the mainstream came in nirvana"

    so true.

  • i was born in the middle of the grunge scene. i wish i could have been through it, being a teenager now, compared to then sucks. i would kill for a place in that decade.

  • @nathan95568, Well now it's up to our generation to make things better. Make music, make art, write.

  • i work in a nightclub and its makes me so sad because everyone i work with is really into justin beiber and jaso derulo, and i mention nirvana or black flag or someone and they say oh my god how can you listen to that rock shit or grunge or whatever you call it its so shit...like what!!!!! how the fuck can you say nirvana are shit? you might not like them but its like saying the beatles are shit

  • does anyone find it weird when Kurt is talking like he was interviewed yesterday but hes been dead for 16 years

  • Comment removed

  • Damn what defines the 2010's????

  • @trueChaos23 I'll tell you what defines 2010. Oversaturated media clowns feeding you Lil Wayne and Rihanna, which is like giving us toxic waste that will turn you into a mind controlled zombie, unless you're the lucky few who are immune to it.

  • @trueChaos23 2010 is not done in well, ten years.

    let's try to recreate grunge! because that's what you do with rock, you create and recreate it, it's an endless kickass cycle.

  • @trueChaos23 I think its people like us who sit on the internet and watch & listen to music from the 60's,70's,80's,90's and early 00's....is what has defined 2010 uptil now...It may seem funny and ironic but its true.....but who knows, the 2010's have just begun, so maybe a musical revolution is on the horizon...we can only hope...cause music on the tv/radio is getting worse & worse by the day...But theres still hope....

  • Comment removed

  • When I was a teenager, I remember hearing Alice in Chains and Soundgarden on Headbangers before I had heard of Nirvana. A few months later we saw the video for Smells Like Teen Spirit and the rest is history.

  • As far as i'm concerned, Pearl Jam was and is superior to Nirvana. Alice in chains as well.

  • the media will make drama out of everything. they fucked up something that was only ours and they took our right. so gay

  • Kurt Cobain is nothing next to Layne Staley.

  • @bigboss25262 amen

  • @bigboss25262 Are you stupid? Layne Staley didn't even write most of the songs. It was all Jerry Cantrell. Kurt Cobain is light years more talented than Staley ever was. Staley was just a great singer.

  • @RebelThoughts Kurt Cobain didn't have even half the voice Staley had. Oh, and Staley wrote a whole bunch of songs and the entire mad season album which IMO is better than anything Cobain wrote in his life.

  • @bigboss25262 And Layne Staley didn't even have half of the voice Cornell had (if you talk about range). So what? They were all perfect for the music they were playing. Stop bitching like a woman.

  • @quathar You think Cornell had more Range than Staley? You must be deranged. Chris Cornell couldn't touch Staley in any aspect. And when it came to range, Staley blew him away even more-so. Oh, and Cornell sucks elephant balls live.

    

  • @bigboss25262 lol you nuts? Check out the 'Beyond the Wheel' video Soundgarden did last month.

  • @bigboss25262

    Staley did rock but seriously, in terms of technique, range, stylistic breadth?

    Cornell is one of THE most amazing singers in rock.

    Cornell's ability to shred at high pitches and still have power is pretty amazing.

    And I saw soundgarden in Wpg. at their 2nd last show in 94.

    I even recorded it.

    he KILLED!

  • @quathar dude if u say that Layne didn't have half the voice that Cornell had...i guess u r just beginning to listin to raw music..well when u grow more mature then u'll realise the pain and darkly gorgeous voice that layne had.

  • @Bithalrai I'm most likely older than you and have listened to heavy music longer. But you are here talking purely about taste and such touchy feely-stuff, so the argument is completely pointless.

  • @quathar if you think chris cornell is better than rip layne staley u must be

    1. 12 or younger

    2. using too much drugs

    3. deaf

  • @RebelThoughts layne wrote all the songs that Mad season came up wid.."river of deceit, wake up, lifeless dead" get into th lyrics dude it was layne's composition...n its awesome!!. i do agree that layne did not write most of th songs that A.I.C published...Angry chair written by layne is a kick ass song..

  • @RebelThoughts eddie v. > kurt
