Members Craise Posted April 30, 2006 Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 I was lucky enough to see them many many times in the 90's First time I saw them was in 89 on the lounder than love tour, opening for the band VOI VOD !!I was a big time Voi Vod fan and I remember a friend telling me to get there early and not to miss the opening act. Glad I didn't miss it! I was blown away..it was like Zep meets Sabbath. About 6 months later Badmotorfinger came out and they came back 4 times to atlanta on that tour! I got to see all of those shows...then they played bigger and bigger shows...the Fox Theater and finally at the Omni. But IMHO the best 90's band was Nirvana. I got to see them twice (once in a small club) I pulled out In Utero the other day...man they don't make rock records like that anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members 18watt Posted April 30, 2006 Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 I'm so confused. The 90's was the decade that guitar playing died... And it's getting love in this forum, of all places? It's hard to find an example of anyone from that era who can string together more than a couple of notes. I like solos; the '90s didn't. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To me, the '90s was all about sloppy, atonal grunge and a backlash against "hair bands", shred and the like. Not that I'm comparing the styles, but certainly the amazing musicianship of the '70s and '80s was being spurned...I'd have thought in an effects forum, we'd be all about more guitar, rather than less.Soundgarden was probably the best of the bunch, though.

OK, now you're digging up some stuff I'd forgotten! I guess some of those were early '90s rather than late '80s, weren't they? FNM, AIC, White Zombie, Nymphs, Daisy Chainsaw... Hmmm. Thing is, I was living in London at the time, and it wasn't very much later that you couldn't take a step without tripping over a DJ. Between dance music and grunge, it certainly felt like the party was coming to an end awfully fast. Thanks for the reminder! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IMO, anybody who says there was nothing good then wasn't even trying. the same can be said for today's music scene. you could drown in the sheer number of albums that come out each week. it doesn't take much to look for it, just a copy of Ice Magazine.

Members The Great Waldo Pepper Posted April 30, 2006 Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 Seattle makes for some really great rock music. Yay Heart! Some sublime guitar playing on these albums. I remember seeing this performance thinking I wish SNL hadn't hired a bunch of Full Sail engineers to try to mix a rock band. Though it sounds better in retrospect. Probably the last great band performance on SNL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(i'd argue that we're currently in a sequel to the 80's--and not just because of bands like Interpol.) a friend that i was discussing it with attributes the 2 golden ages (60's and 90's) to technological advances--affordable electric instruments in hte 60's and affordable electronic instruments in the 90's. being somewhat of a McLuhanite, i might have to agree.

Members fuzzup Posted April 30, 2006 Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 Thanks for the good clips, always liked Pretty Noose. Soundgarden were a band that had one really great album(Superunknown) and two that were just good with some outstanding tracks(Badmotorfinger, Down on the Upside). I have Louder Than Love as well which has Big Dumb Sex on it which is always good for a laugh. You can find good music in any decade in my opinion. 90's had Nirvana and compared to anyone else at that time I think In Utero era Nirvana made everyone else sound boring, they were just that good. They were almost as dangerous as the Stooges IMO. Anyone who doesn't think Kurt Cobain was a good guitar player is just missing the point of guitar playing IMO. The point is to sound good and be interesting and he did both as well as anyone at that time. P.S. Zach just got a Fuzz Probe and it is great.

Cobain did something ground-breaking, he combined a great sense of melody with thrashing punk power chords. IMHO that was his strong suit and everything else he did was just "noise". Too bad Kurt's life ended so abruptly & soon, it would have been nice to see him clean-up and take his strengths to higher levels than he had attained...

Members fuzzup Posted April 30, 2006 Members Share Posted April 30, 2006 absolutely right Taz. Noise + melody, can = interesting. If done right of course. Yankee Hotel Foxtrot is a good recent example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members ScreaminKing Posted May 1, 2006 Members Share Posted May 1, 2006 Soundgarden is probably my favourite band of all time. I also love that Down On The Upside doesn't sound one bit dated at all. It was really ahead of its time IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
