i first heard about mother love bone in rip magazine - which you are probably (i'm sorry) too young to remember. blackie o will remember it though. i read so many good things about them that i bought the apple album having never heard a single note because i was so interested to know about them. and dude, to this day i still think that's the best album i ever bought. every single song on it is perfect. the whole idea about them being the "next big thing" was totally not an exaggeration. the magazines were all sucking their dicks back then. i know from reading interviews with andy wood that his main influences were queen, kiss, and elton john. so i think it's safe to say he was definitely coming from a glammier place than a lot of the other bands in the seattle scene. i personally do not think they have a cock rock sound about them, so i have never understood the comparisons. but i definitely don't think they have a 'grunge' sound about them either. i don't know where the hell they fit in. the lyrics are decidedly UN-cock rock, and honestly, so is the music. if i had to guess why they get the buttrock rep i would say maybe it's andy's voice, but if you listen to any of the hair band shit (;)) from back then, his voice is nothing like any of those guys either. maybe it's because he wore spandex and feather boas. but even that is more 70s glam than it is cock rock. to me the comparison just isn't there. they probably sound dated now, (but i don't notice it, fangirl that i am) but you have an open mind and the ability to recognize talent even in something you may not personally enjoy, so you really should give 'em a listen. as far as whether or not they would have exploded had andy lived - i dunno. i definitely think that they would have stayed together and i definitely think there would NOT have been a pearl jam. i think they would have continued to make music and i think they would have evolved accordingly. i honestly cannot imagine what they could have done or what they would have become. i don't personally think that they would have been as huge a band as pearl jam is, maybe not even as big as soundgarden was. but they would have hung around. i don't know if they'd be grouped in with the other bands from seattle. probably so, if for no reason other than they were starting to get noticed at the same time the other bands from seattle were starting to draw attention. i don't know if they would have resonated as well with the alice or soundgarden fans that were into the heavier stuff. or the mudhoney fans that were into the noisier, more raw stuff. but dude, i don't know. i mean, i've posted for years at the alice in chains/jerry cantrell boards and the folks there are down with ALL the seattle bands. of course, most of them are also stuck in 1995 and eat up anything that has the word seattle or grunge on it, so maybe that's not a good example. anyway, the point is - i really believe that there was no limit to what they could have done musically. i think that eventually the buttrock shadow would have been shrugged off, because i think they would have just continued to evolve and do their thing and likely not pay attention to musical trends. andy was way too creative, and look at what stone and jeff have done with pearl jam, you know? there was just WAY too much talent in that band, and they worked WAY too well together to ever think that they wouldn't have kept at it. you are welcome for the novel.

thank you. jesus.

i guess we'll see about that.

ugh. 5678

usually not more than 2

i prefer to keep my blood. i don't want needles poking me and stealing it away. a shitty cookie and some juice is NOT a fair trade for my delicious blood.

ahhhh. mother love bone was the first band that ever touched my soft warm places. andy wood was brilliant, an absolute fucking genius. i honestly cannot imagine the things those guys could have been capable of if he were still around. it would have been really interesting to see how they evolved. ah well.

my cat looks just like the cat from that movie. i wish i'd named him church instead of eddie. also, honestly people, the evil dead is not scary. come on.

the blair witch scared the holy fuck out of me. especially since i used to live in the woods. the evil dead is pretty fucking rad too, so is dead alive. neither of them are really scary, though.

night of the living dead or maybe children of the corn

i want the apple from the cover of the mother love bone album.

truth right here. god bless texas.

i'm so glad i live in texas. rednecks know how to kill they criminals and i for one feel good about this.

oh, toady, stop being such a fuddy duddy. live a little, grandpa!

i was too. whoever said that is stupid. it makes sense that if you connect more with one band than the other you'd be much more affected when your singer dies.

he'll never help his own case.

alice has been my favorite band since i was like 14. they are a subject i am rather passionate about. don't be so surprised that i can make a whole lotta fuckin' sense. it's common knowledge that i am smarter than the average bear, you just haven't chosen to focus on that aspect of me.

if you're not careful, christine... you may end up just like those ladies he posts about in his thread. only on a different board, in a different thread. i'm just saying, you've said enough here to lead him to believe he has a chance with you. if my saying that annoys you, you're welcome to scroll past my post.

his laugh kills me. and his facial expressions. and watching those other dudes. fuck. i kinda want him to impale me with his 10 inch cock.

i dunno, man, sometimes people deserve to be strung up on a tree. you don't think? god, i am such a redneck.

you're not a liberal, are you?

i seriously doubt that. jerry's very much a regular dude, not to mention crazy influential and seriously respected by his peers. he funded a good portion of his solo tour out of his own pocket. fool is not doing this shit to be marketable. he's doing it because he can and because whether or not YOU want to hear it, a hell of a lot of other people DO. he will make money regardless of what name he records under because he is the fucking man. don't hate, chris. william is not a disappointment. he's just got an afro. and a tendency to wear brightly colored trousers that hug his junk. he has a good voice and he truly does gel with the guys. no, it is not the same. but that doesn't mean it can't be good. that said, of course i'd still rather have a cantrell solo album.

ok i gotta admit i laughed. that shit was fucking funny.

christine, please.

so your crystal ball shows you what has already been said in the past? maybe you should trade it in for a newer version.
