Maiden is by far the greatest concert i have seen, and i wasnt a fan before seeing them.
Somewhere back in time

Yeah...they're Retro Tour...amazing show. Saw then in '92 for the first time , think I saw them 4 times in total.

I (frank)ing hated Nirvanna for awhile because you just couldn't escape their music. Be it the radio or any party you went to, it was playing.

(frank), sorry bro. Mixed you up with the lil spitwad who is 15.

Lol, no worries. For the record, I was kicking when Elvis was too...damn that's depressing. I was in diapers tho lol

They had one album called Bleach that was on a small Seattle based record label called Sub Pop, Nevermind was their next and it was with DGC which put money and effort behind it bringing it to "the masses". They exploded once people actually heard them. Every album after that(Incesticide, In Utero, Unplugged in NY, Muddy Banks of the Wishkaw) sold and sold some more. Hell, they're still selling to this day.

Hell I can remember trying to check out the subpop albums and you had to call the seattle office and have them mail you their catalog and then you had to order directly from them.
- Horseguts

Yup. Sub-Pop had some good acts that weren't very grunge too. I remember I saw a band called Seaweed that were amazing live.

C'mon man, you said you lived through it. Nirvanna and Pear Jam were top of the charts before STP even released an album under that name.
- golfingsince

Nevermind was released in 91, Ten was released in 91, and Core was released in 92. We are talking a matter of months in between so don't talk like Nirvana went number 1 in late 1991 so STP decided to form, write and release an album less than a year later.

Try and read, I said they were hardly the founders.
It is awesome that you can use google to search this sh!t, but Kirk 12guage to the brain and Peal Jam's issues with ticketmaster have (frank) all to do with each other, besides one predating the other. Nirvana had album's before Nevermind that did (frank) all, then only because of SLTS did they get big, then another one and then the end. Soundgarden was very successful commercially. Had platinum selling records and topped the charts. Do you even have a clue wtf you are talking about???
- ruttager17

My god, you are a (frank)ing Richard, you know that right?

And dude, instead of banging chicks I (frank)ing listen to music and write it... And they did, because Grunge (frank)ing died when Kurt killed himself. The same time Pearl Jam was also battling ticketmaster because they'd (frank)ing buy PJ's tickets and sell them for more.. So they stopped realsing singles and videos... Soundgarden WAS sucessful, until Kurt died and they (frank)ing disbanded in 1996.. Bleach wasn't the biggest album because no one knew Nirvana, hence the bad album sales. If you didn't read before SLTS I said was way overhyped and isnt even that good of a song... In Utero didn't as good as Nevermind on the charts but was a far better album IMO. And ya, I'm going offtopic, I know, but I also know this stuff, hence the reason there is a lot of "off topic" in this paragraph..

Big deal, that only makes you a child of the 70's, when we were still allowed to do cool sh!t when we were kids, like build ramps on the side walk to cruise off on our BMX's.....no Helmets or gay elbow pads either.

We were also allowed to run around the streets with black plastic M-16's.....cops will shoot kids for that now, thats why you can only get them in neon orange.

Yes I am aware of all this. I have bleach on cassette actually

Grunge was pretty much dead or at least dying when Kurt sprayed his brains all over the walls.....

Kids were moving on to the California pop punk scene by then.

- ruttager17

It was a year later but please keep making it up as you go along. Ten was first, then Nevermind, then Core came more than a full year later.

But you lived through it, please tell us more cuz nobody else here did.

lol but as a kid living in Newfoundland, having poop mailed from Seattle was a real pain in the ass. My folks hated the phone bills. lol. I had catalogs coming from as many labels of poop I liked as possible. Hell even the Burning Heart label in Sweden and so on...I liked Nirvana a fair bit but I never really liked many other grunge bands, I was a punk music kid.

Ten only got big in mid-1992

Lol I miss those days! I had fully automatic pellet guns and lots of other dangerous weapons too. Kids are pansies these days...

So was I , but at that time it was really,really, dead.....Fat Wreck Chords and Epitaph had been around a while but the bands they released really took off once kids had enough of the grunge melodrama.

2 amazing labels! I think Epitaph is owned by the ex guitarist of Bad Religion.

Your missing the point. STP were around before Nirvana made it big, but no way they would have been sh!t if not for the attention Nirvana ,PJ and Soundgarden brought to the scene.

(frank) you don't know sh!t about other than what you have read. You have 0 objective experience about something that happened when you weren't even alive. That is like me saying I know what it was like back in the 40's when WWII was going on because I studied it and watched some war movies.
Now you deflect to "instead of banging chicks I listen to music and write it". Good for you. Yeah I love the Beatles and play a lot of their songs on my Guitar, but does that mean I have any clue what it was like to be alive to experience Beatlemania and when they swept through the states??? Fu#k no. It is called objectivity and I have zero experience about what it is like to be around the world when they were huge, just like you have zero experience about what it was like to be around during the whole Nirvana, Pearl Jam grunge era.

Meh. I was maybe 18 or 19 when that "wave" of bands became popular. I liked a lot of it, but very few really stood the test of time.

- Jeropotato

Hahahaha and rightfully so.

- Oilers4Life14

Whatever, I hear them both at the same time at a party at this dude's house in University. I prefered Ten to Nevermind but there was no doubt which band of the two dominated air time.

A poop load of those bands are still releasing albums but they just don't get shoved down your throat on radio, tv, etc...They kinda went back "underground"
