We only met once or twice but I thought you looked like Steve-O, and your description just reinforces it
They put out an album this year, it's bad. Start up the track "Let The Bad Times Roll" and see how long you can last before skipping
I can't imagine their thing working that well once they're into their 50s and 60s. Unfortunately every band eventually gets to where they just aren't as good anymore.
Also, this is the best unplugged of all time, please direct any dissenting opinions to HotMic 's inbox
Alice in Chains is one of my favorite bands, period. Incredible songs and good songs deep into albums
Speaking of unplugged this is the best version of She Talks to Angels no interviews decision is final
Also I don't think it's a hot take to say Alice in Chains > Nirvana. I don't have a problem with Nirvana but much prefer AIC
Nirvana is not my favorite but I appreciate their impact and Kurt's song writing ability and definitely how good of a drummer Grohl is
I can listen to AIC's Unplugged start to finish and not skip a single track. The only Nirvana Unplugged track I listen to with any sort of regularity is "The Man Who Sold The World"
**clears throat** Attention Corch , an anonymous poster had the following to say: “AIC Unplugged is good, but it's a pretty straight reading of their material. "Sludge Factory" is a standout, but a lot of those songs were half acoustic to begin with so it's not as dramatic of a transformation. Don't get me started on "Nutshell" unplugged being better than the original -- the original with the electric guitar solo SHITS on it. Versus Nirvana Unplugged, you have this awesome mix of their well-known songs, not well-known songs, and covers from David Bowie to the Meat Puppets to Leadbelly. Plus Kurt died a couple weeks after and the stage was set like a funeral. The music and the mystique cannot be topped”

Nirvana is like hey, here's a mix of our obscure shit, well known shit, plus we're gonna cover Leadbelly and David Bowie. It adds more value over the normal band experience IMO
"Pictures in a box at home Yellowing and green with mold So I can barely see your face Wonder how that color taste" Favorite part, chills. I think I may have already told you that in another thread
Yes I remember that. He wrote it about his brother who he hadn't seen or talked to in a while and he just wanted to see him again.
I think this thread is really not driving home the point that Three Dolla Bill Y’all and Significant Other were both 90s rock classics
Einstein on a Beach is my fav Counting Crows song. Randomly came across it on some CD compilation and was blown away.
Had the day off from work yesterday revisited this album, their self titled ‘92 album, The Golden Age, and the single “Whole Lotta Trouble” from the Empire Records soundtrack for the first time in probably ten years. They all hold up well. Their single “Low” was the quintessential alternative rock song of the 1990s and has been my opinion for 20 years.
One of, if not the most, under appreciated bands of the 90s. I don’t think many people realize how many TTWS songs are favorites of theirs until they go through a playlist of of TTWS.
I was about to say man, this band had this song AND the Friends theme song but I had my 90s R bands mixed up. The Refreshments = King of the Hill theme song The Rembrandts = Friends theme song The Replacements = highly-regarded 80s band
Were they? They had great singles that all got copious airplay. Then the rest of the album was blah. I actually saw them at a bar last year before COVID. They warm up with a couple songs, then they go "We will now perform the album New Miserable Experience" in its entirety. Redav show me the underrated track that wasn't on the radio
To me, Primus is the most underrated and underappreciated band of the 90s. Everybody is aware of them, but they're never mentioned among the titans of the era. I think they're every bit as important as any band not named Nirvana. Some absolute fucking BANGERS in the 90s. Frizzle Fry, Sailing the Seas of Cheese, Pork Soda, Tales from the Punchbowl, the Brown Album (without Tim Alexander), and Anti Pop (w/o Tim), just in the 90s. Fuuuuuck.
1994 is probably my all time favorite year in music. The amount of great albums released that year is insane. https://www.google.com/amp/s/digitaldreamdoor.com/mobile/rock/year-albums/albums-1994.html
