Grunge > Hair Metal

It served its purpose in providing an alternative to the mostly shit, poppy, all style no substance metal which was prevailant in the early 90s.

I like Pearl Jam and Alice in Chains. I listen to the others, too, but is't not my favourite style.

besides a VERY few exceptions, grunge sucked. Well, AIC is cool.

but the thing about grunge songs.... the heavier songs... there's something about them... they just don't rock... they have most of the components of a rockin' song... but they are missing one or two things that really kick the song into motion. Give me Chuck Berry or Jerry Lee Lewis over them anyday.... they rocked a lot more. and were better musicians.

Whats wrong with Poison, Def Leppard and Winger least they didn't just sit around moaning about how shit life is, how they hate their mums and dads and how they've been hard done too even though their lifes have been alright and their dads at least have jobs to get them money.

They're just a bunch of attention seeking middle class pieces of shit that couldn't form hair metal bands because they couldn't sing and their musicianship was fucking lame.

Yeah I know Grunge is pretty depressing (I sometimes feel the need to give Eddie Vedder a good slap for his constant moping and campaigning for neverending causes), but it's great to listen to when you're in a mellow or angry mood.

You say they can't sing or play their instruments, have you heard Chris Cornell's voice? it's a whole lot better than the likes of Bret Michaels and Joe Elliots and Eddie Vedders and Layne Steeley's voices are great too. On the guitar side Jerry Cantrell, Billy Corgan, Mike McCready and Kim Thayil's playing is pretty good, much better than CC Deville and those two idiots from Def Lappard who rarely solo. The only big grunge band which had bad musicianship and singing was Nirvana.

Don't try to defend the likes of Poison and Def Leppard- these are comedy bands, they're completely lightweight, they don't have any power at all in their music. When I first heard Love Bites I couldn't stop myself from laughing - the guy sings like a pure sissy.

My thoughts exactly. The Seatlle Music was real and raw. Poison, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, etc. are all jokes that got sold to the lowest common denomenator (sp?). That kind of music, is like the pop of rock n roll.
