This was such a great post. Yes, a little depressing, but still good. This was my music! I spent the nineties listening to techno and grunge. Well dNb actually. Breaks and then grunge when I wasn't listening to anything in the electronica genre.
I had no idea Chris Cornell past. I seen Sound Garden open up for Danzig when they were first starting out. I drove 4 hours to Cleveland to see the show and the whole time we drove we made fun of the "Soundgarden" name. IDK why but we thought the name was hysterical. Then the concert started and we were all completely floored. Frankly, they blew Danzig right off the stage. Next day I went to the record store and bought everything I could find on Soundgarden. Listened to nothing else for about a month straight and couldn't stop talking about the opening act at the Danzig show in Cleveland.
Soundgarden and Nirvana really opened the floodgates for grunge. It was like they set the standard for the sound of a decade.
Great post! As always, a flood of memories! Cheers!

Mate a story like that makes the writing even more fun and it's awesome to see opening acts grow way beyond the bands they opened up for.
I still consider myself lucky meeting many great bands working at the club in the Netherlands back then.
Those stories, those Tunes we will vary them with us spread them when the time is right.
Thanks for the awesome comment!!!!

Oh man thatβs sick! Iβd pay anything to of seen Soundgarden that early! Would love to see you post on Nineties Friday! Danzigβs first record was 88 but two through five were nineties. Drop a post about this one week πΈ
