I notice you have a Breeder's video in your "more videos" list that I just clicked on... man I have NOT thought about them in SOOO many years ever since I saw them open for Nirvana on the In Utero tour. They opened for Nirvana at the civic center in Tallahassee Fl. the one and only time I ever got to see them at the VERY young age of 14 !!

@GnosticPrince Yeah, my fav Breeders song, by far. ahh nostalgia.

ugh still can't believe I grew up there and had little idea what was going on... definitely born a decade too late.

"part of the grunge movement is the fact that these kids have ability to say anything they wanna say, to express anything they want to express, any anger, any pain, any anguish, any torment, and they feel a kinship, a oneness..."

The background singer/guitarist in Monomen didn't sound real good to me. The lead singer sounded good.

Grew up in Seattle, high school 72-75 and always knew this area was creepy. Not exactly in a negative way but the way this doc portrays. It was keggerland and $10.00 Zeppelin tickets and never saw a sunny November day. I used to hitch hike to and from work on I-5 from 175th to 45th exit, with a big bamboo bong in my lunch sack. This was a weird time and place, like a dream now.

@sithyness Thank you for posing this! I just bought it a few days abo, and it brings me back to my early 20's when I lived in Seattle during the early 90's. I remember all of this and, just like in this documentary; how greedy and phony commercialism tried to cash in and eventually killed it only a few years into its movement. Grunge was more powerful than just the music alone; it was a youth movement like Woodstock. Capitalism stripped the life from it! Good memories still remain!

I love Grunge and Sub Pop, but that wasn't the only thing going on at the time in seattle. Popllama Records had some great artists, C/Z did aswell.
