. Neil Peart can suck it.

It all boils down to this - I'm right, everyone else is wrong, and anyone who disputes this is clearly a dumbfuck.

Damn Bob - that makes me kinda jealous. Too bad the shows sucked, but at least you can say you were there! I'll check out that Jimi record and add it to the collection. I have most all of his works in stock, but I don't have that one. Thanks for the tip. Sol - Cream underrated? Do you live under a rock? They were the GODS of rock until Jimi went over to the UK and showed em' how it was done (poor Eric didn't know what hit him). Remember, this was when the Beatles got all the press. Cream is, hands down, the best power trio of all time. Jack Bruce, Eric Clapton and Ginger Baker were the best of the best at their respective roles. Clapton gets all the glory, but Ginger made the band. His jazz influence and odd timings on a small kit were second to none. Hard choice between Ginger, Bonham or Bill Ward (Sabbath) as the best rock drummers of all time. Neil Peart can suck it.
Listen closely to Ginger's small kit on White Room. Nobody was doing these jazz beats back then. Is that one of those "say something stupid to be controversial" things? If so, nice job.

No. Yes. Maybe? The Professor is amazing no doubt, but his kit has always been retarded huge. It could be argued that playing a kit that big is technically harder just as easily that you could argue that it's harder to make big & full sound with a smaller kit. I tend to go with the later because you have less available tools to work with. For example, a 12 string guitar will always have a fuller sound than a 6 string, so getting close to 12 string sound from a 6 string, in my mind, is harder. With that Bonham, Baker and Ward get the nod from me. Just my preference and not to take anything away from Peart. I also can't stand Rush's music, so that could be a bias alert. Lastly, I have ZERO musical talent and don't even know which end of a kazoo to use. Two videos to watch: The first one is a technical breakdown. The second one is just a dude going ape chit. What makes Bonham so good? Bill Ward taking the night off Anyway, I won't hijack the thread any longer with brand name bands...

Hater! From Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hater_(band)
Hater was an American rock band that formed in Seattle, Washington in 1993. The band formed as a side project mostly under the direction of Soundgarden bassist Ben Shepherd. Additional members included Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron, guitarist John McBain (ex-Monster Magnet and, later, partner of Cameron and Shepherd in Wellwater Conspiracy), bassist John Waterman for the self-titled album, Devilhead vocalist Brian Wood, brother of Mother Love Bone vocalist Andrew Wood, and Alan Davis on bass for The 2nd.[1][2]
I have the Hater CD. My best man's younger brother John played bass on the album and was a good friend of Ben Shepherd. We went to high school with Ben's older brother Andy who was quite the artist. John and his brother Ed played at my bachelor party in 1990.

Always seemed like cool dudes to me. We we're just in and out in the matter of minutes, I never knew them but my buddy Wayne was close with one of the band members. I was more into hard rock and metal. I never really cared for grunge. When we lived on alki beach our next door neighbor was one of the band members of "Mud Honey" I guess they became pretty well known. They had huge parties which was annoying at times. Vapvid, is Mud Honey still popular or not? Did they make it big ?

Mud Honey, Screaming Trees, Green River and Mother Love Bone were pretty much the founders of the Seattle sound. MH sort of made it big I guess. Not to the level of SG, AIC, PJ and Nirvana, but they did pretty well for themselves and had a solid following until "Grunge" burned out.
I was in early HS through College when "Grunge" was doing its thing. I would have given anything to have been around these parts during that time. I might not be here today or on a totally different life path, but I would have had a great, great time.
Love it or hate it, there really hasn't been a musical genre tidal wave since those days. It all went top 40 bubble gum pop crap in the mid/late 90's and it's been downhill ever since. There are some good newer bands playing today sure, but they are few and far between. Outside of hard metal, It's all autotune and studio musicians these days. Kinda sad....

When I worked at Alaska Airlines a co worker's Sister was the manager of Alice in Chains. Again,I wouldn't know any of their songs. I'm pretty sure they made it big.

You were a Spartan,right? Too bad you missed Magic. I remember when Mich State played in the finals against Indiana state and Larry the Legend...those were epic games, my two favorite players of all time. Larry still hasn't got over that loss, they remain good friends. Then they battled in the pro's....I'm glad I got see the golden years of the NBA.The Lakers and Celtics title runs were amazing!!!! Once they retired I lost interest in the NBA. I'll watch a game if Steph Curry is playing, by far the purest shooter the game has seen, not to mention his handles, his side kick coog ain't bad either. Best back court duo ever? Gus Williams and Dennis Johnson (R.I.P.) were up there. Sorry for the hijack Vapid

The Melvins definitely kick ass.
Great band.
Sweetwater was the band I always expected more from, but they kind of faded away. They're doing a show with Candlebox in Seattle this summer. I'm sure it's sold out, but I bet it's going to be a great show.

The Mentors and The Screamers were both started mid 70s, Eldon Hoke, the lead singer of the Mentors said that Courtney offered him 50k to blow Kurt's head off, and he said no... He was killed by a train in 97 tho...

my dad used to play some of their music at bars when he was doing that while i was growing up... one of the guys was from SF and i guess brought that type of thing with him to the group...
the reason that it has a Chicago style, is because the lead singer was also in Chicago if i remember right....
