I saw that RHCP, Pearl Jam, Nirvana show in Tempe, 1991. Fucking unreal. But I still contend that Rage Against the Machine was the best live show I ever went to..... They fucking rock.

I don't know where to put this.
It's too awesome to not be here. It was the leading edge of the 90s goodness
Rage and Wu Tang at Great Woods in the midst of a monsoon. Not sure how I made it out of there
That was a fun tour. I wish half of Wu Tang would have made it to my show instead of getting too fucked up and missing the bus the night before.

When I heard and saw Maynard perform Sober I was hooked from the get go...! He just gets so lost in his music... So many great bands in the 90s, but TOOL was something so new and doing their own thing...!
Rage is in my top 5 bands and never got a chance to see them and am still holding out they will get together for a tour...!
And to this day the best show I got to see was Nirvana performing in a dive bar with just a couple of 100 people just before Smells Like Teen Spirit was released on MTV... My ears rang for days and I was in absolute awe...!
Pennywise, NOFX, Strung Out, Face to Face, Sublime, Beastie Boys, Snoop, Dre, Public Enemy, Ice Cube, Nirvana, Chili Peppers, Alice In Chains, Pearl Jam.....The 90's actually had music come out that I was pumped to listen to. I can't remember the last time I was excited for an album to come out. Surf and ski video soundtracks used to rule, now they suck.
Interlake H.S. Bellevue WA Class of '95 here. Good times. :yourock:
Turning 40 this year. Fuck that went by fast.

Wow. Sad news out of Detroit, Chris Cornell found dead in his hotel room.
http://hosted.ap.org/dynamic/stories...05-18-08-06-52
What a fantastic voice he had.
If the reports turn out to be true that will be even more sad. He always struck me as one of the guys out of that scene that more or less had his shit together - but mental illness or pain doesn't discriminate. I guess we'll find out soon enough.
Man, growing up in Seattle and hitting puberty right about when this shit was going down will always provide some awesome memories.
Great little story out of the reddit thread I am reading:
I saw Chris Cornell perform acoustically only 18 months ago. A guy sitting next to me in the front row was wearing sunglasses. Chris walks onto the stage, also wearing sunglasses, and says, "there's a guy sitting up front wearing sunglasses. I'm glad I'm not the only douchebag here". The guy yells out "I'm blind", which should have been a dead giveaway by the cane he had in his lap. Chris was unbelievably embarrassed and very humbly apologised, saying "sorry, I was wrong, I'm definitely the only douchebag here". After the show (which was one of the greatest vocal performances I've ever heard in my life) Chris gave the guy one of the vinyl records he used during the set and apologised personally to him.
Chris Cornell was not only (in my opinion) the greatest rock vocalist since Freddie Mercury, he was also a great dude. I've never heard someone say a single bad thing about him, neither musically, professionally or personally. The world lost an icon today, and the musical world is a little less awesome because of it.

That's a cool story. I have to agree - we've got some pretty big time entertainment lawyers in the office and the stories I've heard today from their interactions with him and that scene years ago was exactly as you said - not a bad word to be found about him.
Sad loss for sure. Like you it brings back a lot of memories of coming of age during that time.
Reminded me of this:
Jerry: I mean, what's the deal with cancer?
Audience Member: I have cancer!
Kramer: Oh, tough crowd.
He didn't do so bad...Some of those people sort of liked it!
Agree, to me he seemed to have his shit together but he was upfront about being heavily into drugs starting at age 13.Quote:

RIP, Chris. Can't say I was a huge fan, but the dude had talent for sure.
