I was never that much into AIC when they were around other than I thought their vocalist (Stayley) was pretty good. But its funny how their music/videos improve with age. In reading the YouTube comments many others have said the same thing. And of course when you wander thru YouTube it leads you to other bands. So I reminisced over Soundgarden (Outshined), Pearl Jam, Nirvana, STP and others. All great music. Doesn't seem to be that vibe and energy these days.

Grunge.

I grew up in that age... so that was my music at the time. Then I finally found Slayer and grunge was dead to me.

*beats chest* SLAYER GOOOOOD!! UG! UG! I RARELY listen to the first album. I listen to the second album a little LESS rarely, it was better. With every album, the music became progressively better. I like Christ Illusion, but after having Paul Bostaph as a drummer, they kind of reverted to their same ole same ole sound that they had certainly managed to progress past with God Hates Us All. God Hates Us All had a more furious hateful sound to it, in part due to the different drum patterns and style of drumming that Paul Bostaph used on that album, but also because (for the most part) Tom Araya abandoned the idea of really having any tune for the vocals, he simply blasted you with his evil blood-curdling gravelled snarly screams. Their choice of words for the lyrics has always lent itself to a feel of anger and rage, which fits the music perfectly, but without Tom Araya's particular voice to deliver them, the lyrics would not pack the same punch.

But...

Alice In Chains is one of the only bands to come out of the grunge scene that I really appreciated. Pearl Jam was just horrible. They have a good band, but vocalist Eddie Vedder was always a half-assed singer in my opinion. He always looked like a retarded person in the throes of a 2 week heroin binge on stage and in his videos. His vocals we sloppy, much of it sounded like mindless mumbling. The thing is, he has a fairly decent ability to hit notes accurately, but his delivery is so lazy and sloppy that you can't understand a thing he says, drives me bonkers. Alice In Chains always had a more metal feel to them. I would certainly call their music BETTER than the majority of "grunge", they had a knack for harmony and melody which is easily recognized in the vocals alone. My favorite lineup that Ozzy ever had was from the No More Tears days when he had Mike Inez as bassist. There aren't that many truly good fretless bass players in the rock world. Layne Staley put a little balls behind his singing too. Same for Soundgarden, they were a damn good band all around. Chris Cornell had some of the ballsiest sounding vocals ever. Kim Thayil was a damn good guitarist. I've always thought he was a genius when it comes to utilizing effects processing and multitracking to it's maximum potential in the studio. Like on the song Rusty Cage, the beginning riff (and maybe the main riff) was actually recorded in reverse. He was an excellent song writer too, the way he fit all his music together was beautiful.

Tom Araya is pretty much the worse at everything he does but makes Slayer so great. Their horrible live albums are definitely my favorite. Decade of Aggression gives me a gross nostalgia feeling of the physical (and mental) pain I felt at their concerts when I was in high school.

You wouldn't believe how many people say the same thing, Daemia. Myself included. I ALWAYS would follow the music scene from the 60's when I was in high school right up to the mid-90's. It was important in my life and every week some great song would emerge. Then it just kind of tapered off little by little thru the back half of the 90's to present. If I watch Much Music at all its their segment on how some Classic album was recorded (eg Hysteria - Def Leppard). Otherwise I leave the rest to the kidz. And I'm not one of those guys who are stuck in an era and refuses to progress. There's just nothing that grabs me. I have, however, discovered Jazz, in the last 20 years and that keeps things fresh for me.

LMAO!!! Sounds like my aunt. She's tried to get my mom into shit like NSYNC. If I was in a boy band (and someone please ASSASSINATE ME if I ever go that route), I would be HORRIFIED to see these 50-something old bags in the front row showing me their hooters.

If you found Slayer after Grunge, then it's just so wrong. Slayer was around wayyyyyyyyyy before Grunge ever came out. You must be quite young to have missed out on the genre progression of that time.

Wow you're a retard.

No shit Slayer was around way before grunge... was I implying that? No? So fuck off you stupid fuck. Don't open your mouth again please.

When I started listening to grunge I was maybe 14? I was never exactly indulged in music before that age...
