@Irish Rover Lmao i dont think that every generation got worse (or maybe it did) but maybe its just that ur not this generation so u say that its bad Remember what ur parents/older ppl than you said about their generation? They said the same things as you are saying about this one Im a "zoomer" and ye sometimes i do wish that everything was like in the 90s (i wasnt born there yet) but i think that ppl of my generation are going to tell their kids the same thing ect Also remember that the "zoomers" didnt invent the internet it were pol birn in the 70/80/90 lol
I thought when they walked into the club they played a cool different intro to It Ain’t Like That, and continued playing it when the two lovebirds met (kyra Sedgwick is back in 2021).
Always loved "Singles", that was my time. Every weekend I watch Singles and Empire Records back to back. That's a relaxing Sunday for me. I miss Grunge.
I still wear all the grunge bands t shirts. Got long grungey blue hair. I wear a flannel. My playlist is mother love bone, Alice, PJ, soundgarden, Nirvana, mad season, trees, STP, and Alice in Chains are the best band of all time. I will never change who I am even at 41. I don't get a lot of attention.bi don't want it. I'm grunge. Im proud. No I'm not from Seattle. But my life has been nothing but music and struggles with death and addiction. There's a piece of Seattle in all cities in all of us. Cept the 1s who don't get it
Lived in Seattle during it all. Remember always wondering where the next coffee shop open mic was to see these bands and many others playing two songs acoustically. Watching bands practicing at a place called metal shop aka practice pads in downtown tacoma. Saw AIC, Soundgarden, Screaming Trees, Gruntruck, mud honey go from coffee shops to legitimate venues. Attending free concert w Pearl Jam @ Gas Works Park was unforgettable. Only in Seattle.
you my friend, lived the best life during the best time. good for you man that’s so awesome i dream of being in the times of then. would be a billion times better than now
God I miss those days! I never made it to Seattle but to be in college and live through that great music was awesome! Such a special time in my life. I long for those days! Now I listen to Lithium on Sirius/XM and tell my daughter about the good old days! You’re really lucky to have experienced that scene! Peace

Well if you we're born in 86 then you clearly didn't grow up to these bands. Most started in 1990, GEN X gets it. Millennials are just following behind pretending they know Lol..
Hmmm I wonder how many of us were around when “Singles" came out? How many people here were ten or older than 10 when this movie came out? Anyone here? Hit thumbs up 👍 as we all have been trained to do to show our “approval,” among other things. Wow how things have changed!!! It’s amazing how different it was to see these bands and I was lucky enough to hear loved them from near the beginning, and I love ❤️ that younger fans are here! There’s a difference in the world of the “Singles” time, when music was changed forever, and the new heroin outbreak among the famous...nobody had started to serially overdose as happened with increasing speed from heroin, except ONE GLOWING LIGHT OF LOVE ☀️❤️Andrew Patrick Wood, 🦋🍄🌻 Who was creating “Love Rock,” as he called it. He was an early part of a changing scene in the Seattle Area, and started very young. He majorly changed the scene and was friends with many bands of the past. His star ⭐️ was rising for certain! Andrew Wood, was Chris Cornell’s roommate. His band was signed and printing their first major record. Andrew Wood died from a bad batch of heroin. Mother Love ❤️ Bone 🦴 was Andy’s second band, and he loved to wear crazy makeup in 80’s fashion. He was definitely “glam” when he was in Malfunshun. It was the 80’s when he started his first band and his crossover from hair metal to his new music concept was HUGE AND AMAZING. Andy never got to tour an Arena on Earth 🌎...he died at 23 as his first album on a Big name record label 🏷 was being printed... “L’Andrew the Love ❤️ Child,” was his “part” in his band Malfunkshun, which he formed at a young age in the early 80’s, before forming Mother Love 🦴 Bone. It’s very sad that he got a bad batch of heroin, survived and was awake in the hospital for a little while, but he died after regaining consciousness of perhaps an Aneurysm. He was Chris’s best friend and it had such an effect on Chris that he formed “Temple of the Dog.” Chris was on tour in 1990 in New York at the time, and couldn’t fly home fast Enough. I never saw Chris as a suicidal man, because if he was going to ever harm himself, it would have been then! I don’t accept the idea that HE Killed himself, too many holes and people need to research. Chris was brother-close to Andrew Wood, and met and probably knew the guys who later became Pearl Jam, from Mother Love ❤️ Bone 🦴. They were Andy’s band and likely Chris’s friends!. It’s interesting to know how Chris met Eddie Vedder, who became a good friend a very long time before Chris’s strange death was his beloved friend, whose career kicked off singing 🎤 in tribute to the old lead singer of his new band in “Temple of the Dog.”✌️🌹! Eddie sang on the “Temple of the Dog” Album. Andrew Wood’s song “Man of Golden Words” is amazing. The very words Temple of the Dog” are originally from that song. Many of you know this, but word to the younger fans... we didn’t have immediate access to any music we wanted in those days, and the radio was definitely your window to the music world! Lots of kids listened to the radio and watched videos on MTV & VH1 in the 80’s & 90’s, when the Networks ACTUALLY PLAYED played MUSIC, AND THERE WEREN’T MULTIPLE VERSIONS OF EACH! Car phones and early cell phones 📞 were large, uncommon and didn’t play music! It was definitely a great time to be a little older than I was. The people who were old enough to see the movie “Singles” movie 🎥 🍿 in theaters were lucky! It was definitely the best time for music of my life. We who were young in the 90’s were very lucky and fortunate to have watched the birth of grunge, including Nirvana, who Chris was friends with and toured with in Soundgarden...wow wow what a show that must have been! Chris Cornell’s busy climbing the metal above his head and swinging around, Black mane of hair flowing and thrashing around, as he reached notes so high he LITERALLY SHATTERED MICROPHONES 🎤!!! Kurt Cobain was always the showman too. He enjoyed taking his frustrations out on his stage and his guitar 🎸 🍀! What a time for music! We are all lucky that it happened ! I will always remember Kurt from an age where I was too young for concerts, and he was killed in the year 1994, by that time the revolution was well underway. R.I.P. To Andy, Kurt, Layne and Chris Cornell, whose deaths, along with others, are truly a phenomenal loss to the entire WORLD 🌍 🌎 🍄🌹💐🌸🌞🌝🌻🌼🌈🌟✨✨☄️💥🥀🥀🥀🥀
[Psychonymphsia Ultravistous] I was about the same age as you were when “Singles” came out. We are so lucky to have been a part of that magical time. Things got better and better as the 90’s went by...it was an amazing time to be alive! We witnessed the last great musical revolution of our time. I am happy that so many different people born later have discovered 90’s music too. So many people are looking outside of the newer music world to find better music, and have found the music we loved and love it too. The music world has changed so much, and Music is so computerized today, it’s sickening, especially pop music- it makes me ill, and many younger people have no idea how much effort was once required to create music. Now people who can’t even sing are auto-tuned by computers...remember those incredibly disgusting incidents with people who were lip syncing when suddenly something went wrong, and they were exposed for the no talents they were? All those Disney kids turned “performers” have been turned into performers and other people write a great deal of the music they perform. I certainly don’t care for the crap that is passed off as music today! It’s sad that music has been bought and is now owned by so few record companies. Since the 90’s, things have been consolidated in the hands of just a couple of giant corporations. They should thank the indie labels of that time for finding all of the bands that have turned them into Billionaires thousands of times over. Competition is just about done in the corporate world. Indie labels often discovered the best musicians first. There were many big name labels in the 90’s as well, many of whom wound up buying the rights from the smaller companies and of course signing MANY their own as well. It’s nothing like today, as it seems that Sony/UMG owns almost everything that exists, and there is almost NO competition, as they have bought out almost every single company that was once a rival and own almost every single copyright that exists. The biggest labels of the past have been bought out by Sony/UMG . I think there are around three or four labels left now, and none of them can compete with Sony/UMG. It’s a shame. No more competition, no awesome new music to hear. There are just a handful of good bands, and very few that I would consider “great,” and NONE OF THEM come close to the bands of the 90’s. Concert tickets are extremely expensive, and every big venue is now named for some corporation, and the names are constantly changing...it’s sickening to me. I feel very lucky to have been alive during the time of “Singles.” Sometimes it seems like It was just yesterday... I wish I had a time machine to go back and watch those concerts live again. Everything was so much different then... People today can’t even imagine life without their cell phones! I think it was better to be a teenager/young adult in the 90’s. I had the best time in my life going to concerts and watching history in action. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything! It’s tragic that we’ve lost so many of the 90’s greats. So many of the best musicians have passed away, and we’re left with only memories and the music they made. Thankfully, they left us many incredible songs and albums. It’s insane how many of them are gone. R.I.P. to all our greatest musicians. You are sorely missed!!!
Rip these great artists, you all know who they are. For me they're alive and to watch this, it makes my day. Thanks dude for bringing this :) Ps. I'm always wondering how Jerry can laugh without moving the jaw or any part of his face.
Turning 18 before the internet en streaming services, and then this arrived in my home country. I was blown away and had to absorbe al I could. What great times they were. Still playing all these bands as a nearly 50 year old!
It's funny because back in the day, I never really cared for grunge, but I always loved the movie! But now I'm so into all those bands and I have such a great appreciation for all of them! It really was a special time!
I still dress like this when not doing anything haha I dug this music so much cause I’m in pain, these guys are in pain. Everyone shares pain. Rock and roll.
The reason Kurt turned down the Singles offer was due in part to his personal issues with Pearl Jam. Though he would later befriend Eddie but didn't like the other band members because they enjoyed sports and Kurt would compare them with jocks from his high school. Kurt had great respect and admiration for The Screaming Trees and lead singer Mark Lanegan who he helped with guitar and vocals on his first solo album. As well as Soundgarden which Nirvana toured with for their first album Bleach and he liked Alice In Chains so much that the last song he would write, proclaiming to his wife Courtney, that he wrote a "sicker" song than Alice In Chains. Matt Dillon was also one of his favorite actors in movies like Over The Edge, S.E. Hinton's Tex and The Outsiders which Kurt said he would read as a teenager and Gus Van Sant's Drugstore Cowboy co-staring a favorite writer of Kurt's William S. Burroughs which Kurt added guitar work for a spoken album of his. All in all, Kurt and Nirvana marked the beginning and the untimely end of the Seattle grunge movement, though The Screaming Trees, Soundgarden and other bands came out first, and those bands including Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam would continue on posthumously.
"All in all, Kurt and Nirvana marked the beginning and the untimely end of the Seattle grunge movement". I'd disagree. There were certainly other bands that came before. Had Andy Wood not died, it would have been Mother Love Bone. Nirvana was Aberdeen and they were outside the circle of musicians. The AIC guys had never even met the guys from Nirvana until 1993 in Rio. "The whole "grunge" thing was really just an industry label. Its a disservice to the actual bands because they were diverse. AIC always leaned towards a more metal sound. These guys toured with thrash metal bands and opened for Megadeth and Slayer and they certainly didn't need Nirvana to get noticed. AIC was the first Seattle band to chart with Man in the Box before Nirvana did. Nirvana and all the hype surrounding it flashed and burned but the other bands like Mudhoney and etc. still continued making music and did what they always did even though the public and industry hyped about "Kurt's death as the death of grunge". Kurt's death didn't have as direct an impact to these bands as Andy Wood's death did. AIC had their own issues (Layne's mostly) that caused them to go in hiatus. Soundgarden broke up. And Pearl Jam did their own thing - all have nothing to do with Kurt's death.
@@MrTechselect how can someone as learned as you call AIC "metal"? Please explain. What songs of theirs would you describe as "metal sounding"? Their entire unplugged was like a greatest hits and not one metal song. To me AIC were always their own thing and they were always at their best when they didn't try to sound "heavy." No Excuses, I Stay Away, Rooster, Down in a Hole, Rotten Apple, Nutshell, Got Me Wrong, and Would? are all representative of their mature style, AIC at their best. No metal songs. What metal songs, then? Man in the Box? We Die Young? It Ain't Like That? In what world are these thoroug-going metal songs? AIC was so un-metal they were poorly received at the Clash of the Titans Tour you mentioned. Think about that.
dasein There are so many different metal genres, you can’t say that AIC wasn’t metal. Maybe they didn’t fit into the super fast and screaming metal genres. However when looking at their albums you can’t deny that most of their music is heavy metal. Or doom metal on the self titled release. If layne had more of a growl like other metal singers then no one would have an issue with admitting that they’re metal. But with that said, they were, like many other bands, far too versatile to strictly label them as a metal band.
It's funny in this little piece here in this video how Jerry Cantrell with his beard and and and all that goatee looks a lot like Daryl Hall he really does oh my goodness
It’s funny so I just rented this movie to watch all the grunge bands and then I see that it’s such a small part of the movie. I think it’s been hyped up in all the interviews because it was a big deal for what it was, but I think it painted the wrong picture in my head. The movie is still mostly an eyeroll romcom to me but the live performances were so good for sure.
You guys all have kept me alive into my 40s. I'm not supposed to be alive. I swear all you guys from mother love bone to the trees to Alice to PJ and Soundgarden Nirvana. Your music has kept me alive. I have demons. I don't and never would intentionally hurt another. But I've done a number on myself with scars to prove it. I thank u Seattle scene and Stone Temple Pilots for your music
They weren't, he was part of the family, they lost him, Layne, Chris; and, those are only the ones "we" care about, because it' s all about entertaining us, right? Here we are now..... Nobody's Listening
It's not just that its a snapshot of a moment in time. It's a convergence in time and space of all the right people to make something like this occur at just the right moment in time. It's not just generational. Something this uncanny happens once every hundred years, if you're lucky.
ABSOLUTELY NEVER...... WITHOUT QUESTION...... NEVER...... I'd sell my soul to be able to go back to being 23 years old in 1990..... of which I was then..... this IS the music of my life.....
Cameron knew what he was on to. He interviewed Robert Plant and Jimmy Page as a teenage journalist for Rolling Stone and is married to Seattle’s own Nancy Wilson. Someone like that will sense something special is going on before it explodes.
Wow, I can't believe it😲😲😲😲😲😱😱😱😱💓💓💓💓💓 I bought the cd of singles at a vendor table for 50 cents😱😱😱😱😱 to know i grabbed a piece of iconic history back then for less than the cost of a hostess pie 🥧 😅 pretty f####### amazing 👏 😎🤯 at that time i thought is was really odd that something that featured all the bands from Seattle would be so cheap. Here we are in 2020 celebrating the anniversary of face-lift by Alice in chains talking about this little film that kinda slip under the radar. Unfortunately I don't have the movie, someone stole it at a host party I had but thank God I got the soundtrack very grateful 🙏 for that. In the stroke of luck I also found jar of flies through that same vendor. Wow 😱 so cool to have the best selling ep of all time and my favorite album ever. Hail to alice for coming back into the fold despite the horrible tragedy of losing layne and mike starr, always remembered always loved and always in their ❤. 😭💙💙💙💙💙💙
I thought the same thing. Had to do a double take. She was smoking hot in the early days of Heart if you watch the old videos. Glad to see her looking great again
I remember going to see "Singles" in the theater as a teenager with my gf and other friends pretty lit. It wasn't that good a movie. The soundtrack however was f-ing awesome! I only own 2 movie soundtracks on cd; "Singles" and "The Crow". Both are high mileage and WAY better than the movies they came from.
I'm not an expert on anything (perhaps surviving till this very moment - I've never thought I would make it, lucky bastard me) yet I do believe that these trends tend to take place in cycles. There's great hard rock and hair metal bands releasing great albums (Guns and Roses, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Dokken and even Cinderella - there's a lot of people who love Cinderella's music to this day) and then those guys get mega rich and go on mega tours with lots of adulation around them which might explain why their next albums and tours start sounding formulaic and boring which makes a lot of fans kind of eager to jump ship. And then this new wave of creative younger musicians release their best albums and then the cycle kind of repeats itself with lots of attention and money going these new bands' way..... and then after awhile their newer records start sounding weak and uninspired while other new sounds get ready to take the limelight. It happened to thrash metal too. Yet there are those bands that are able to ride ride those low tides and go on releasing good material in spite of where the limelight is pointing at, and kudos to those guys. I'm talking about Pearl Jam, but also of Alice in Chains (they released pretty good albums after Stanley left this dimensional sphere) and even Megadeth. Even Poison is still around even though their music never being any good to begin with - but kudos to them for keeping their teeth at it for all these years.
Probably my friend because it really was a dated parody in itself by the time it was made.Maybe 'm saying that from a British perspective but I remember going to see the film at the time and it seemed about 10yrs out of date and no doubt Mr Cobain and Co were clued up enough to realise it ,don't get me wrong it was an amusing film but even Chris Cornell looked totally weird trying to act in it .
I doubt nirvana was offered much of a role. Mother Love Bone, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden were all better known bands. Nirvanas part, if they were offered one, would probably have been similar to the tiny part tad got. That band was the one on par with nirvana here. Even screaming trees were better known at the time of the filming
It was such a boring movie on paper but woah! He put this movie out right when the metal grunge was tide and ebbing, right before the wave hit/right after it hit - that little place is Cameron’s place. Pearl Jam’s - Breathe Seasons Would Bees on TV stone vedder and Matt
@@davidporter671 actually a fan of Alice in chains, Soundgarden and Mother Love Bone. You must be a Democrat or a liberal or something trying to silence my opinion. I do like Pearl jam and my post won't be taken down. My opinion matters and I won't be bully by extreme toxic Nirvana fans, I like Nirvana but they're over exaggerated and that's my opinion. To each their own opinion. Here's another opinion Foo fighters are better than Nirvana.

[Psychonymphsia Ultravistous] I was about the same age as you were when “Singles” came out. We are so lucky to have been a part of that magical time. Things got better and better as the 90’s went by...it was an amazing time to be alive! We witnessed the last great musical revolution of our time. I am happy that so many different people born later have discovered 90’s music too. So many people are looking outside of the newer music world to find better music, and have found the music we loved and love it too. The music world has changed so much, and Music is so computerized today, it’s sickening, especially pop music- it makes me ill, and many younger people have no idea how much effort was once required to create music. Now people who can’t even sing are auto-tuned by computers...remember those incredibly disgusting incidents with people who were lip syncing when suddenly something went wrong, and they were exposed for the no talents they were? All those Disney kids turned “performers” have been turned into performers and other people write a great deal of the music they perform. I certainly don’t care for the crap that is passed off as music today!
It’s sad that music has been bought and is now owned by so few record companies. Since the 90’s, things have been consolidated in the hands of just a couple of giant corporations. They should thank the indie labels of that time for finding all of the bands that have turned them into Billionaires thousands of times over. Competition is just about done in the corporate world. Indie labels often discovered the best musicians first. There were many big name labels in the 90’s as well, many of whom wound up buying the rights from the smaller companies and of course signing MANY their own as well. It’s nothing like today, as it seems that Sony/UMG owns almost everything that exists, and there is almost NO competition, as they have bought out almost every single company that was once a rival and own almost every single copyright that exists.
The biggest labels of the past have been bought out by Sony/UMG . I think there are around three or four labels left now, and none of them can compete with Sony/UMG. It’s a shame. No more competition, no awesome new music to hear. There are just a handful of good bands, and very few that I would consider “great,” and NONE OF THEM come close to the bands of the 90’s. Concert tickets are extremely expensive, and every big venue is now named for some corporation, and the names are constantly changing...it’s sickening to me.
I feel very lucky to have been alive during the time of “Singles.” Sometimes it seems like It was just yesterday... I wish I had a time machine to go back and watch those concerts live again. Everything was so much different then... People today can’t even imagine life without their cell phones! I think it was better to be a teenager/young adult in the 90’s. I had the best time in my life going to concerts and watching history in action. I wouldn’t trade that experience for anything! It’s tragic that we’ve lost so many of the 90’s greats. So many of the best musicians have passed away, and we’re left with only memories and the music they made. Thankfully, they left us many incredible songs and albums. It’s insane how many of them are gone. R.I.P. to all our greatest musicians. You are sorely missed!!!
TL;DR ain't nobody got time fo dat
Rip these great artists, you all know who they are. For me they're alive and to watch this, it makes my day. Thanks dude for bringing this :)
Ps. I'm always wondering how Jerry can laugh without moving the jaw or any part of his face.
Turning 18 before the internet en streaming services, and then this arrived in my home country. I was blown away and had to absorbe al I could. What great times they were. Still playing all these bands as a nearly 50 year old!
74 was almost 50 years ago......in 92 50 seemed ancient, now not so much. Cheers
Miss you Layne & CC.
It's funny because back in the day, I never really cared for grunge, but I always loved the movie! But now I'm so into all those bands and I have such a great appreciation for all of them! It really was a special time!
I want go back 90s
It was the best! Wasn't it?
*Need to see this movie again! all the music i love is there!!*
3:49 *Chris Cornell* 🔥
#LoudLove R.I.P to A *True Legend* ❤
Awe bro. Seen it in the theatre. Wish I could live in the movie forever.
There will never be a more honest, awesome, and legendary period in music ever again period long live the movement of grunge❤👊😎🤘🤟🤘🤟
God I miss the 90s 😢
I loved this whole period in music.
Seeing the match striking a powder keg of talent was amazing. Thanks to CC.
What a ride.. Mad Season’s Above was another epic album of those days.
Love that movie! Love that soundtrack! One of my favorite movies and definitely my friend about that time period
No one better than Layne Staley.
I love this movie.
that made tears spurt from my head, don't know why, except...i was there
I was busy in college when I saw Singles. I was captivated by the music. Never left me.
Um filme que tem Soundgarden e Alice in Chains como trilha sonora... Certamente é um obra-prima!
"SOUNDGARDEN YOU KNOW , ITS THE SEATTLE SOUND ". Fucking true. 3:51
I still dress like this when not doing anything haha I dug this music so much cause I’m in pain, these guys are in pain. Everyone shares pain. Rock and roll.
The reason Kurt turned down the Singles offer was due in part to his personal issues with Pearl Jam. Though he would later befriend Eddie but didn't like the other band members because they enjoyed sports and Kurt would compare them with jocks from his high school. Kurt had great respect and admiration for The Screaming Trees and lead singer Mark Lanegan who he helped with guitar and vocals on his first solo album. As well as Soundgarden which Nirvana toured with for their first album Bleach and he liked Alice In Chains so much that the last song he would write, proclaiming to his wife Courtney, that he wrote a "sicker" song than Alice In Chains.
Matt Dillon was also one of his favorite actors in movies like Over The Edge, S.E. Hinton's Tex and The Outsiders which Kurt said he would read as a teenager and Gus Van Sant's Drugstore Cowboy co-staring a favorite writer of Kurt's William S. Burroughs which Kurt added guitar work for a spoken album of his. All in all, Kurt and Nirvana marked the beginning and the untimely end of the Seattle grunge movement, though The Screaming Trees, Soundgarden and other bands came out first, and those bands including Alice In Chains and Pearl Jam would continue on posthumously.
Wes Thomas nono, Malfunkshun marked the beginning. Nirvana ended it.
"All in all, Kurt and Nirvana marked the beginning and the untimely end of the Seattle grunge movement". I'd disagree. There were certainly other bands that came before. Had Andy Wood not died, it would have been Mother Love Bone. Nirvana was Aberdeen and they were outside the circle of musicians. The AIC guys had never even met the guys from Nirvana until 1993 in Rio.
"The whole "grunge" thing was really just an industry label. Its a disservice to the actual bands because they were diverse. AIC always leaned towards a more metal sound. These guys toured with thrash metal bands and opened for Megadeth and Slayer and they certainly didn't need Nirvana to get noticed. AIC was the first Seattle band to chart with Man in the Box before Nirvana did. Nirvana and all the hype surrounding it flashed and burned but the other bands like Mudhoney and etc. still continued making music and did what they always did even though the public and industry hyped about "Kurt's death as the death of grunge". Kurt's death didn't have as direct an impact to these bands as Andy Wood's death did. AIC had their own issues (Layne's mostly) that caused them to go in hiatus. Soundgarden broke up. And Pearl Jam did their own thing - all have nothing to do with Kurt's death.
Honestly thats a dumb reason for Kurt to hate the members of Pearl Jam just because of a sport.
@@MrTechselect how can someone as learned as you call AIC "metal"? Please explain. What songs of theirs would you describe as "metal sounding"?
Their entire unplugged was like a greatest hits and not one metal song. To me AIC were always their own thing and they were always at their best when they didn't try to sound "heavy."
No Excuses, I Stay Away, Rooster, Down in a Hole, Rotten Apple, Nutshell, Got Me Wrong, and Would? are all representative of their mature style, AIC at their best. No metal songs.
What metal songs, then? Man in the Box? We Die Young? It Ain't Like That? In what world are these thoroug-going metal songs? AIC was so un-metal they were poorly received at the Clash of the Titans Tour you mentioned. Think about that.
dasein There are so many different metal genres, you can’t say that AIC wasn’t metal. Maybe they didn’t fit into the super fast and screaming metal genres. However when looking at their albums you can’t deny that most of their music is heavy metal. Or doom metal on the self titled release. If layne had more of a growl like other metal singers then no one would have an issue with admitting that they’re metal. But with that said, they were, like many other bands, far too versatile to strictly label them as a metal band.
Shirley Cobain Thank you for making this channel much appreciate your hard work!
@ShirleyCobain Where have you been hiding??
Why am I only just seeing this?
Supporting this Great Channel 100%!! #Legends Never Die ❤
Incredible bands. Although AIC clearly the baddest of the bad ass bands.
It's funny in this little piece here in this video how Jerry Cantrell with his beard and and and all that goatee looks a lot like Daryl Hall he really does oh my goodness
It’s funny so I just rented this movie to watch all the grunge bands and then I see that it’s such a small part of the movie. I think it’s been hyped up in all the interviews because it was a big deal for what it was, but I think it painted the wrong picture in my head. The movie is still mostly an eyeroll romcom to me but the live performances were so good for sure.
You guys all have kept me alive into my 40s. I'm not supposed to be alive. I swear all you guys from mother love bone to the trees to Alice to PJ and Soundgarden Nirvana. Your music has kept me alive. I have demons. I don't and never would intentionally hurt another. But I've done a number on myself with scars to prove it. I thank u Seattle scene and Stone Temple Pilots for your music
With those performances... I was fine with no nirvana.
They weren't, he was part of the family, they lost him, Layne, Chris; and, those are only the ones "we" care about, because it' s all about entertaining us, right? Here we are now.....
Nobody's Listening
no who? :v
codeman454 Nirvana who?
All I saw was AIC and Mr. Staley
@@danielbrown1724 that’s weird.
Same here, Nirvana felt the least local to Seattle to me and would have been out of place.
I so want this soundtrack on Vinyl
it is :)
It's not just that its a snapshot of a moment in time. It's a convergence in time and space of all the right people to make something like this occur at just the right moment in time. It's not just generational. Something this uncanny happens once every hundred years, if you're lucky.
Was there ever a more cool bunch of dudes anywhere in the history of the world?
No there has not. Nobody will ever be able to convince me otherwise.
ABSOLUTELY NEVER...... WITHOUT QUESTION...... NEVER...... I'd sell my soul to be able to go back to being 23 years old in 1990..... of which I was then..... this IS the music of my life.....
Bobby Scarfo Me, too! I was 20 & wore the black skirts, black combat boots & was in love with the grunge & alt music of the time!
@@wendyrepasky3463 still representing early 90s with hair mid shoulders and always wearing the look.... true story....
Bobby Scarfo I think we’re kindred spirits....I still wear black Harley Davidson boots with my black mini skirt & flannel shirt! 👍😉
GRUNGE
Esse filme é maravilhoso!!!
Wish they played all of"it ain't like that"by AIC in the movie, seemed a lot darker and meaner to me.
Cameron knew what he was on to. He interviewed Robert Plant and Jimmy Page as a teenage journalist for Rolling Stone and is married to Seattle’s own Nancy Wilson. Someone like that will sense something special is going on before it explodes.
Wow, I can't believe it😲😲😲😲😲😱😱😱😱💓💓💓💓💓 I bought the cd of singles at a vendor table for 50 cents😱😱😱😱😱 to know i grabbed a piece of iconic history back then for less than the cost of a hostess pie 🥧 😅 pretty f####### amazing 👏 😎🤯 at that time i thought is was really odd that something that featured all the bands from Seattle would be so cheap. Here we are in 2020 celebrating the anniversary of face-lift by Alice in chains talking about this little film that kinda slip under the radar. Unfortunately I don't have the movie, someone stole it at a host party I had but thank God I got the soundtrack very grateful 🙏 for that. In the stroke of luck I also found jar of flies through that same vendor. Wow 😱 so cool to have the best selling ep of all time and my favorite album ever. Hail to alice for coming back into the fold despite the horrible tragedy of losing layne and mike starr, always remembered always loved and always in their ❤. 😭💙💙💙💙💙💙
Great movie !
Layne is in there, quiet and good.
Ann Wilson has lost so much weight, she's gorgeous good for her, no female rock singer had a voice like hers, period
I thought the same thing. Had to do a double take. She was smoking hot in the early days of Heart if you watch the old videos. Glad to see her looking great again
Need some Cowbell Grunge. Andy Wood would have approved.
Magic seatle music forever 👽
I remember going to see "Singles" in the theater as a teenager with my gf and other friends pretty lit. It wasn't that good a movie. The soundtrack however was f-ing awesome! I only own 2 movie soundtracks on cd; "Singles" and "The Crow". Both are high mileage and WAY better than the movies they came from.
Highly recommend finding and buying immediately the extended soundtrack with live tracks from the film PLUS Touch me, I am Dick from Citizen Dick!!!!
Alice in Chains is the best band from Seattle
SCREAMING TREES! THE GREATEST RICK BAND BAR NONE IN THE 1990s!
crazy Cameron was married to Nancy Wilson of heart for many years .
I’m positive that this kind of movement will happen again sometime. Not now, not now fuck it
Back when Seattle was a safe and clean city.
BIRTH RITUAL❤
lovely to see these scenes of Seattle, before so many of the landmarks were obliterated by greedy developers
I'm not an expert on anything (perhaps surviving till this very moment - I've never thought I would make it, lucky bastard me) yet I do believe that these trends tend to take place in cycles. There's great hard rock and hair metal bands releasing great albums (Guns and Roses, Def Leppard, Bon Jovi, Dokken and even Cinderella - there's a lot of people who love Cinderella's music to this day) and then those guys get mega rich and go on mega tours with lots of adulation around them which might explain why their next albums and tours start sounding formulaic and boring which makes a lot of fans kind of eager to jump ship. And then this new wave of creative younger musicians release their best albums and then the cycle kind of repeats itself with lots of attention and money going these new bands' way..... and then after awhile their newer records start sounding weak and uninspired while other new sounds get ready to take the limelight.
It happened to thrash metal too.
Yet there are those bands that are able to ride ride those low tides and go on releasing good material in spite of where the limelight is pointing at, and kudos to those guys. I'm talking about Pearl Jam, but also of Alice in Chains (they released pretty good albums after Stanley left this dimensional sphere) and even Megadeth.
Even Poison is still around even though their music never being any good to begin with - but kudos to them for keeping their teeth at it for all these years.
Would is fuckin best rock song ever period.
i'm grunge mudhoney fan snd Singles movie is my grunge religion!but i was wondering why nirvana refuse to participate on the movie??,,
Probably my friend because it really was a dated parody in itself by the time it was made.Maybe 'm saying that from a British perspective but I remember going to see the film at the time and it seemed about 10yrs out of date and no doubt Mr Cobain and Co were clued up enough to realise it ,don't get me wrong it was an amusing film but even Chris Cornell looked totally weird trying to act in it .
Nirvana explained why they turned down Singles in this interview:
czcams.com/video/OMJDGRwexCY/video.html
I doubt nirvana was offered much of a role. Mother Love Bone, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden were all better known bands. Nirvanas part, if they were offered one, would probably have been similar to the tiny part tad got. That band was the one on par with nirvana here. Even screaming trees were better known at the time of the filming
Why is there a print of Father John Misty's Fear Fun cover behind Mark Arm?
It was such a boring movie on paper but woah! He put this movie out right when the metal grunge was tide and ebbing, right before the wave hit/right after it hit - that little place is Cameron’s place.
Pearl Jam’s - Breathe
Seasons
Would
Bees on TV stone vedder and Matt
Where is this? I mean, is there a documentary or something where we can find all of this?
I couldn’t find Pat DiNizio (Nick) in the film. Anyone know which scene he is in?
Cameron Crowe looks like Oscar Wilde
Powerful stuff...not sure why Nancy Wilson is in there.
She was married to Cameron Crowe and the Wilson sisters were on the soundtrack as The Lovemongers.
Soundtrack is great ,movie was an endurance test.
3:30 what about CBGBs?
I always said where was nirvana at in the movie 🤷
Kurt didn't want any part of it. They were asked to take part in it but knocked it back.
it wouldve been perfect if nirvana was there too
Chris Cornell looks more like the movie star than Matt Dillon.
I wonder why Nirvana wasn't involed
Hahaha “The Grunge.”
The double CD edition soundtrack is totally amazing! It’s a pity the actual movie was such absolute shite.
IFFF..... IIII....WOOULLLD....COUUULLLDDD...POOOOOOPPPPP. Sorry a little constipated lately...
Singles=One of the worst movies of the 90s, besides the Blair Witch Project
Seattle's heroin music = Grunge. They all dead, except Eddie.
And except Jerry Cantrell, Sean Kinney, Mike McCready among others
Singles sucked. I was 16 when Grunge exploded in 1991. Us younger Gen X wanted a coming of age teen movie. Not a love story and about 20 somethings.
Best part no Nirvana.
Best part no Mr Marcus.
I take it you're a Pearl Jam fan so anything you say is invalid.
@@davidporter671 actually a fan of Alice in chains, Soundgarden and Mother Love Bone. You must be a Democrat or a liberal or something trying to silence my opinion. I do like Pearl jam and my post won't be taken down. My opinion matters and I won't be bully by extreme toxic Nirvana fans, I like Nirvana but they're over exaggerated and that's my opinion. To each their own opinion. Here's another opinion Foo fighters are better than Nirvana.
huh
