Guitar: Gibson SG
Camera: DJI Osmo Pocket - Hudba
And the winner is???
All 4. I can never pick
Son muy buenos los 4, mismo estilo, diferente sonido y único!
Alice in Chains
Alice in chains
4
Pearl Jam: more classic
Soundgarden: more heavy
Nirvana: more punk
Alice: more dark
AIC are heavier to me...
And superior
Nirvana: the father of grunge
@@Joshua-cy9nu - lol, Grunge already existed before Nirvana. I can't believe you have 4 likes...
I can't even agree to include Nirvana in the grunge list. To me they're Alternative Rock...
Pearl Jam - Groovy and classic Riffs
Soundgarden - Heaviest Riffs
Nirvana - Catchy and energetic riffs
Alice in Chains - Sludgy and Darkest Riffs
Grunge Forever!
agree!
Agreed
Exactly. All four bands were so great in their own way, there really is no way to pin point in one being better than the other. And this was the grunge era, it's easy to take 4 of the top 10 bands and showcase hit riffs from a handful of songs that made them millions. There were so many other groups not nearly as popular who could shred just as good. The early 90's was like baseball, only a few made it to the show, but the farm system was loaded with talent, just no room on the roster for them
@@blancobaseballbreaks2525 if I got to "choose" , I'll say is a tie between Soungarden and Alice in Chains, but just because is my preference of sound, not to say they were "better" than the rest. Every band got his own style and ways to express their music.
For Nirvana change it to "sick and energetic riffs"...
Have you not listened to "Bleach"...?
There is one thing we can all agree on....It is insane that Alice in Chains is not in the Rock-n-Roll Hall of Fame!!!
Are they seriously not? Considering the guy who made Little People is on their suprizes me
Soundgarden somehow isn't either
Redbone, Iron Maiden, Motley Crue, Smashing Pumpkins, the Offspring aren't in there as well.
@@ShrektheOgre4real For real, and somehow Jay Z was nominated this year???
@@charliecavness that's what I thought, but some people started using race as an excuse. I understand that 2-pac and Biggie are in there because of the impact they had and it's acceptable, but Jay Z? C'mon
When you realize that Alice In Chains is basically a heavy metal blues band and that’s why they rocked so much
And they keep on
Dude. I've never heard it put that way but that's awesome
Yess, most people forget they are blues too. Jar of flies is a good example
@@TheStepmonkey you see a lot of that influence on mad season too
I always think of them as heavy metal w some blues roots than just a grunge band, but you define their sound perfectly
Seattle is the winner for this competition!!!
👍😉
Yes Seattle is the winner when it comes to music.. so miss this era of music.
@@janiedoman9336 Specifically grunge.
Seattle wins for Queensryche riffs, those before the grunge
@FoxyDanger Horrors they're all from Seattle
I like how they're not hating on each other, just enjoying each other's riffs.
THAT was the 90s.
👍😉🤘
Actually that was Seattle!
Ikr there is also many interview of members of these bands saying great things about each other’s songs
Except Kurt hated Pearl Jam
@@tommycthulhu6572 maybe, but he liked eddie. he actually considered eddie a pretty good friend, it wasnt anything personal he just didnt enjoy pjs music
The Fours Horseman of the Grunge:
Pearl Jam: Classic Rock
Soundgarden: Hard Rock
Nirvana: Punk
Alice in Chains: Heavy Metal
Soundgarden is heavy metal too
Pearl Jam: hammer ons and pull offs
Soundgarden: odd time signatures
Nirvana: catchy chord progressions
Alice in Chains: chromatic half-steps
Smashing Pumpkins: ALL of the above...and then some. ;P
I always thought AIC had a lot of blues influence. Nirvana were the punk Beatles. Soundgarden's musicianship was like a dark version of Queen...and Pearl Jam were okay too.
Eh, would say Heavy Metal for Soundgarden and Sludge Metal for AIC, which granted still is a sub genre of heavy metal, but yeah
@@moviejumper not really. Their Louder than Love and Badmotorfinger are heavy metal records and Superknown is hard rock
Imagine if Alice in Chains and Nirvana did a collab song. I feel like Layne and Kurt's voice would match up so beautifully.
👍😉🤘
Damn
Nah, he already has Jerry.
@@aerofan89 Don’t get me wrong, Jerry has a great voice, but Kurt and Layne, that’s some next level stuff
@@Paul-gf6kp Kurt’s voice wouldn’t match as good with Layne’s voice as Jerry’s does. Their harmonizing would be better.
It's so sad to think that Kurt, Layne and Chris are gone... rock on Eddie
IM STILL ALIVE
Wow I didn’t think of that until you mentioned it
Mike Starr
When are you guys gonna do a reunion? We wanna see it!
@@wokeupdead3428 lol when Noel stops being a dick.
What's more sad is that we lost Andy after only one album.
Rest in peace the REAL godfather of Grunge, L'Andrew The Love Child.
Pearl Jam = Blues + Grunge
Nirvana = Punk + Grunge
Soundgarden = Hard Rock + Grunge
AIC = Metal + Grunge.
In my opinions
Lazy Rabbit you have opened a whole new part of my brain. this is genius.
@@horrorinfusion thanks
this is true but -grunge
Lazy Rabbit what would Stone temple pilots be classified as if it was in this list?
Soundgarden is pretty metal too, really
Alice in Chains always amazed me by how heavy and dark they could sound with a slower tempo.
Yeah, I prefer them because NO other band can make such sludgy songs that are depressing as shit
It is their biggest strength I think, they switched from heavy to acoustic albums and it was always their sound, amazing talent right there.
Funny, this is why they are last for me. Slow sludgy samey songs about heroin. The others at least varied tempo and subject.
@@finslaw You're wrong. All of AiC songs have different tempos and a catchy structure. Also, they were the only band brave enough to dedicate a whole album as a warning of drug addiction. They weren't fake as the other bands 🤷🏻♀️
@@finslaw this comment sounds as if it coming from someone who has never heard a AIC song outside of the ones played on the radio.
AIC have had this in the bag for years.
👍😉
Soundgarden >
Seriously tho
nirvana for me
AIC FOR SURE
Pearl Jam: Makes the emotion
Nirvana: feels the emotion
Soundgarden: shows the emotion
Alice In chains: darkens the emotion
Together: Grunge.
Listening to Eddie vedder sing black live on MTV is a life changing experience
Soundgarden does all of that :/
Although Nirvana is the most popular, they're my least favorite out of the 4...
@@Aromatic-ring Sorry but you're wrong...
@@Aromatic-ring Wtf did you said?
Pearl Jam borrows from more of a classic rock sound.
Soundgarden and Alice in Chains from an alt-metal and metal sound.
Nirvana borrows from more of punk sound.
Grunge was never a genre more of a scene and every band was different from each other.
Of course Grunge was a genre
Disagree, grunge was a definite sound I always called it "loose bass strings". The scene was from those into the sound.. it sounded "grungey"... therefore we looked it :)
I think nirvana borrow from popular music like the Beatles.
Comment of the year
I’d say Soundgarden was sludge metal like while AIC was more pure metal
Imagine if Cobain, Layne, and Cornell were still alive today. Altogether, these 4 bands could do a concert featuring their top 5 songs. Wow.
Nirvana
-Smells Like Teen Spirit
-Come As You Are
-Heart Shaped Box
-Lithium
-About a Girl
Soundgarden:
Jesus Christ Pose
Outshined
Rusty Cage
Fell on Black Days
Black Hole Sun
Alice In Chains:
Man in the Box
Down in a Hole
Would
Them Bones
Nutshell
Pearl Jam:
- Alive
-Even Flow
-Black
-Daughter
-Do the Evolution
That would've been an epic concert 😢
@@zer0_iz_d34d take out Jesus Christ Pose and put in Blow up the Outside World, The Day I Tried to Live, or Spoonman
As soon as Them Bones starts I feel the urge to go AHHHHH
🤘😉🤘
I can almost hear Layne singing the AHH
And the winner is
Miguel for being able to play these riffs.
Thanks a lot my friend!
Rock on... 👍😉🤘

@@miguelsequeiraguitar Great job, Pear Jam are great and I nearly could enjoy Nirvana 🤣 AIC and Soundgarden are all time fave bands, but AIC even more, Layne was a god, Rip Layne, Chris and Chester. But Dave Grohl is a lovely guy and did a great job on the 2003 Killing Joke album. The mighty Killing Joke and Godflesh are my absolute fave bands. KJ since 1982, Godflesh since pre GF Fall of Because 1986
Chris Cornell is an underrated member of this movement and there are several reasons for this, among them: He was the pathfinder of Grunge SOUNDGARDEN was the first band to have a signature and to sort of authenticate this term grunge that didn't even exist before. He formed TEMPLE OF THE DOG which was a tribute to Andy (another underrated grunge band due to his early death) and with Eddie Vedder, which after this band, allowed the formation of Pearl Jam. And perhaps the most underrated reason of all is that Nirvana put grunge on the rise from SEATLLE but there were bands with better and much richer content than them.
Cornell was more poetic than the Beatles, heavier than Black Sabbah and with a vocal timbre compared to Freddie Mercury. He was a musician with a combination of excellent vocal, melodic and artistic quality.
NO ONS SINGS LIKE YOU ANYMORE.
His death and Robin Williams really hit me. It's weird to grieve so much for someone you've never met. CC was a special person.
Chris was extremely talented
I don't see crhis as a underated artist, everywhere I see something about grunge he is always there. The one I think is more underrated is Scott Weiland.
How’s he underrated lol, Cornell was amazing but he was the 2nd most popular grunge musician behind only cobain. Such a great musician and a legend but underrated is definitely not a word I’d use to describe him, he was extremely popular and super highly rated by basically everyone who’s familiar with him as a singer/lyricist/songwriter. 2nd best grunge musician as a whole imo behind only Cantrell but obviously Cornell’s voice was in a different stratosphere. All time great musician especially vocally.
Love how you included Breed as I think it's one of Nirvana's most underrated songs but on the whole the darker sound of Alice in Chains gets me every time.
👍😉🤘
Word! I remember getting a tape of Dirt when I was 11 or 12. Holy shit. Dark and heavy. Loved it!
Old age doesn’t get a ton of play. But yes agree
Breed is my favorite Nirvana song since high school, probably their most underrated song
I feel like Drain You is Nirvana's most under appreciated tune....it blends so much heavy and dark sound together
Alice In Chains, Jerry Cantrell is guitar genius!
Kurt: Iamma the better guitarist
Cantrell: No! Iamma the better guitarist!
Kim Thayil: Hold my beer
it's a tie between Alice and Soundgarden, altough Pearl Jam riffs are super groovy
I love Alice in Chains. My personal fav of the 4, but I'm not a fan of overdubbing guitar sounds. If you can't do it with one guitar, get a 2nd guitarist.
@@Coats2112 They did :)
@@Coats2112 well, Nirvana also did alot of dubbing in the guitars tracks of Nevermind and In Utero. Is just a production trick to give it more layers.
nirvana guy: *plays lithium*
background drummer: DING DING DING DING DING

“Nirvana guy”
@@Casualfatdude "hey it's that guy from nirvaRna"
"didn't he kill himself?"
"no, don't say that! I'm talking about the other guy, the drummer!"
angry chair too
@@goldmantis5850 “uhhh… isnt he like, not with us anymore, or something?”
AIC always had heavier and more impressive riffs that still hold up today. RIP Layne best vocalist of that genre.
👍😉🤘
I always will have a special place in my heart for Alice In Chains, Layne got me through some of the roughest years of my life, like he was somehow living them with me, he felt my pain, and the Down In A Hole is the embodiment of what I love about them, clearly darker sound, heavier meaning, and could only be made by them, due to their depressing backstory.
👍😉
My favorite song of theirs for sure, the unplugged version.
That "them bone" riff, i heard it with Layne's voice.
👍😉🤘
AHHHH
It is impossible not to think of his powerful scream when listening to Them Bones.
Ahhhhhh
Me too! 🤘🏻
Sad how 3 out 4 of those bands the lead singers are past away:(
Yeah - they didn't pass away their demons got them.
At least we have eddie veder still with us
Kat Welham not sure you understand the term “pass away”
Fugginozim Films lol it was an auto correct error but thanks for the correction I didn’t see it.
I honestly thought Cornell and Vedder were gunna die old men together and they were gunna end up the rolling Stones of grunge together. Guess it's up to pearl jam now to carry the torch
The one thing that's really sad about this video is realizing that three of the four lead singers of these bands are dead. Coincidentally Eddie Vedder is still "alive"
When someone comments about this i think of pearl jam's alive
It’s funny how four bands that are so different to each other are still categorized under the same label. That being said, Soundgarden is my favorite band of all time so the winner is a pretty easy choice for me (love them all of course).
👍😉
I think its cause grunge is an amalgamation of a bunch of siffrent genres, with more bands pulling more from a certain genre than others
I think even the Seattle bands hated the term Grunge. They all were their own bands. They just all came out of Seattle and all sounded great and it happened at the same time.
The term grunge describes mostly attitude to making music and... their clothing. I think it's a forced label too.
Jerry Cantrell is a master on the guitar. Sometimes I think he's a little underrated compared to the other guitarists of the grunge era
Cantrell was the best guitarist of the grunge era in my opinion, though Pearl Jam is my favorite to of the big 4.
@@dylangray6931 Cantrell and Thayil are two of the best
he really is underrated
Pretty sure Jerry Cantrell is my spirit animal...
Yeah!
Pearl Jam: catchy/feel good
Soundgarden: heavy/complex
Nirvana: fun/energetic
Alice in Chains: dark/heavy
👍😉🤘
Hi, it's me what would you call it then? Dark music can be hella fun to listen to from the right band
@Hi, it's me they're not dark
Nirvanas songs are just also very depressing you know
Catchy/feel good? Ever heard of last kiss anyone? Lol
The whole Bleach album is full of creative Riffs
bankai !
Personally I've tried to listen to all of Bleach. I have a CD of it. I just haven't yet gotten through the last fourth of it or so. I've tried. I've tried many times. But IMO it just isn't as good as the first half and tbh idk why. Probably just me trying to hard to get into it
@@typicalfurry2747 I agree that the first half is amazing of bleach
@@scottthewozznijak359 I know! Negative Creep, Blew, Floyd the Barber are all great. Even Paper Cuts and About a Girl have their moments. But everything doesn't fall off, but it does have a drop of quality after about Mr. Mustache. The artwork on the CD is really nice though and the album is the only cardboard CD case I have in my current collection. But with the music itself. Pretty must about 3/4 of the album has song type changes. Blew and Floyd the Barber are sluge rock tracks, About A Girl is a Beatles type love balled. And after that we explore thrash, slow dissonance, earworm riffs and a sort of middle eastern thing in Love Buzz that kinda sounds out of place but is still good nonetheless. But yeah other than like the last 3 tracks its a weak 8 strong 9 out of 10, with them its like a medium 8 medium 9 thing. 8.5/10 I guess you could say.
@Iqbal Hidayat yes but bleach hits different
Pearl Jam: Groovy
Soundgarden: Powerful
Nirvana: Chill
Alice In Chains: Ominous
How tf do you call nirvana "chill"
@@shintjee9860 because opposed to the other bands shown, they have a very chill tone. Obviously they have a lot of crazy songs, but a large part of their discography is more somber and acoustic sounding.
Pearl Jam - Catchy
Sound Garden - Intelligent
Nirvana - Angry
AIC - Scary
pearl jam: anthemic
soundgarden: powerful
nirvana: energetic
alice in chains: apocalyptic
@@sillythygoose What about Pearl Jam?
Pearl Jam - Very Energetic
Soundgarden - Dense
Nirvana - freaky and simple but Beautiful
Alice in Chains - Heavy and hazy
Tenshi Beatmaker That is by far the best description of each band.
Dense as in heavy?
@@jameskey4475 Dense as in complex.
More like Nirvana was the energetic band. Well, back in 89 and 90. Bleach era Nirvana is the best, and was the best.
Alice in chains hands down. Cantrell's guitar skills are out of this world.
Alice in Chain was a way beyond any of these bands and they were not even Grunge....
So true.....
Fun fact, I have only recently become a huge fan of AIC. Holy cow, is Jerry Cantrell an amazing guitarist. Someone once described his guitar sound as "crunchy", and I have to agree. Angry Chair is a great example.
As a Nirvana fan and anti-AIC fan, i can confirm that
@@missyriley2099 dude I just discovered Alice In Chains like last week gods
Respect
🤘😉🤘
Foda 4 super bandas... Mas Nirvana é Nirvana kkk
mermao isso é impossivel
Press F to respect
@@Ruyter_cllipes nunca escutou Alice In Chains tadinho
I think they all are very good, I love Pearl Jams solos, Nirvana's Rhythm, Soundgarden's hypnotic theme, And AIC sludge
👍😉🤘
Nirvanas "non-popular' songs were better in my opinion:
- Sappy
- Blew
- Negative Creep
- Tourette's
- Lounge Act
- Dive
- Penny Royal Tea
- Stain
- Aneurysm
- Frances Farmer Will Have her Revenge on Seattle
- Born in a Junkyard
- Endless Nameless
- I Hate Myself and I want to die
Dive is my personal favorite!
Couldn’t agree more!! Some of my all time favorites! ⚡️🎸🤘🏽🤓
Agree, my favourits albums are incesticide and in utero
I love everything that's in "in utero"
Drain you or D-7.
Pearl Jam: The cool kid
Soundgarden: The gifted kid
Nirvana: The stoned kid
Alice in Chains: The quiet kid who sits in the back

It’s convenient for sure
The nëw band: NirvSoungPearChins!!!!!!
I love they’re all cheering eachother and jamming to each other’s riff even they’re supposed to be against eachother
👍😉
I grew up in Seattle, and still live there (here?) Turning 18 when the grunge sound took off was absolutely life changing. Hearing these bands fills me with such a complex mix of emotions, it’s hard to describe. Eternally grateful for these artists.
Regards from Portugal!👍😉
1. Alice In Chains
2. Soundgarden
3. Pearl Jam
4. Nirvana
All pioneers, but Layne’s vocals are timeless, legendary and, unfortunately, never to be recreated. RIP Alice In Chains❤️
Yeah definitely agree, although I would switch nirvana with pearl jam. They are good, but nirvana is too classic
Stone temple pilots: Am I a joke to you?
that's sad cause musically the guitar work was so sufisticated they were more than grunge
Dean DeLeo is on a different level than Kurt, Kim, Jerry, Stone & Mike
Y e s
Yes
I know right?!! I woulda loved to hear some Dead and Boated, Silvergun Superman, Plush, Interstate Love Song.
For me Alice in Chains, those riffs oh my and second one is Soundgarden
👍😉🤘
Me too... but if he played any songs from Bleach, Nirvana woukd have been in first place.
I agree, 1,000,000%
Thoroughly enjoyed this! Thank you!!
Thanks a lot man!
Greetings from Portugal!
What a decade to be a teenager! Remembeing those chords and thousands of thoughts invade my head ❤❤❤❤
👍😜🤘
Jerry Cantrell could not be touched sorry. Greatest grunge guitarist.
Cantrell is the grunge riff lord
he might not be flashy like kirk hammet, but his riffs are so unique.
mccready was legendary too
Facts
I think Angry Chair is a Layne Staley riff tho, but I might be mistaken
You cant beat Cantrell. His off-tone, sludgy, mostly half-step tuning guitar riffs are insane. Might sound simple, but they're really not.
Well..... Man in the Box's main riff is pretty damn simple. But, simple's not necessarily a bad thing.
@@riteousrighthand6144 well yeah but I mainly mean the use of his half-step or whole step tuning. Like Acid Bubble for example.
@@googly311 I got ya. He had this deeply inlaid haunting vibe too. Nutshell and Shame in You are great examples.
Like it was hard to down tune your guitar...
@@juztinking8813 I'm pretty sure that wasn't the point. They don't call him the riff god because he invented half-step or drop d tuning. 🙄
This is so fun to watch! Nice work man
Thanks a lot!
Greetings from Portugal!👍😉
the best video I've seen today, thanks for good vibes!
Thank you very much!
Regards from Portugal!
I'll take AIC every time cuz to me they were the most metal of the grunge bands
\m/ \m/
Out of the other 3 bands, AIC is the closet band of having a metal sound like doom, stoner, or alt. AIC 4EVER! 🤟🏻😎🤟🏼♥️💛🧡🖤
They were very strongly considered doom metal, but were just a hair too heavy-rock/grunge to actually be categorized into doom.
Edit: which is a shame. They’re my favorite band of all time.
I think Soundgardens Badmotorfinger and Superunknown sound closer to metal. I agree AIC had a metallic edge too though. Its was more of a sludgy metal imo.
Tyler Mankins yeah
Everyone here says nirvana is not heavy at all compared to all the other bands. y’all should go listen to Floyd the barber or basically any songs from their album bleach cuz I’m telling ya, if you want heavy then that’s the album for you
Endless, Nameless
Totally!!! Especially songs like “big cheese” and “blew”...as well as incesticide
Nirvana was heavier in the Bleach era
Nirvana definitely had some heavy stuff even on incesticide
Negative creep is probably the heaviest
Great video! Looks like it was a lot of fun! They all are winners!
Thank you very much David!
Greetings from Portugal!
Damn. This such a fun video!!! Thanks man really got some joy out of this
Thank you very much!
Greetings from Portugal!👍😉
All talented, but obviously: Jerry Cantrell.
without the voice of Layne alice in chains is nothing
Neon Gris that's total and utter bullshit. Every member of that band is a master of their instrument. Boggy Depot is a prime example of that. Layne was an irreplaceable voice, but Jerry IS Alice in Chains.
@@parzibalamblin1890 without Jerry Cantrell Alice in Chains is also nothing
Ofc
Cantrells a god....period...i wish his newer stuff was as creative as the old,but thats what happens when u strip the drugs away as happy as i am hes sober of course.lol drugs unfortunately seem to help people write better shit most the time..look at Metallica,lol..give thdm a ton of coke,.meth,alcohol,weed,etc and u get Master ,Ride,and Justice..take it away and u get them with Lou Reed sober.😂😂😂😂
i found this hilarious 😂 i love how the clones dances and shit when he plays
I thought so too. Cool video!👍
Thanks for these legendary riffs, i only would have found your tabs in the description . Good job !
Thanks a lot my friend!

Jerry cantrell blows everyone away here sound wise. Song writing. Vocals and riff solos. Best grunge band and guitarist.
I agree, except for the vocals. Jerry cannot match layne or cornell
Nirvana is leagues better. Way better guitar riffs and songwriting
@@Lucas-nu8ur I agree
Jerry is a genius!
@@truettkeaton5023 Nah, Nirvana is not on the same level as AiC. Kurt created some catchy riffs tho

Just Amazing Brother!!! You make My Love of Rock and Roll Stronger!!! Thanks My Man!
Thanks a lot brother!
Rock on...🤘😉🤘
A.I.C has the best riffage, hands down. I love and respect the other three bands and their respective guitarists, but Jerry Cantrell is a rifflord and his influence will forever shine through in the stoner/sludge subgenre as well as multiple other genres.
I'm not nor have i ever been a stoner. He's simply got it, no one can deny that. His style permeates and transcends any labels.
Disagree. He's amazing but it comes down to preference.
I think Soundgarden had a bigger catalogue of metallic riffs, but Jerry Cantrells catalogue was somehow catchier and had more groove. Its really a matter of taste between the two. Hardcore metalheads would probably like soundgardens riffs better, while hard/alt/modern rock ears will like Jerrys chewy sounding sludge groove better.
@@Orange6921 I do agree with you but I actually would switch up your description of the two. Soundgarden was more traditional rock while AIC was more metal, in my opinion.
Sure, but Pearl Jam has the best Rhythm + Lead working together, Soundgarden has the best individual talent and Nirvana has the best written guitars
Pearl Jam has the most energy. Spundgarden has the most unique sound. Nirvana is the most dynamic. Alice is chains is most bad ass!!!!
Ya know what...yes
Couldn’t agree more
AIC and Soundgarden are two of my all time fave bands! Though I love AIC even more. But Soundgarden a unique sound lol? A mix of Sabbath and Zeppelin, but they brought it to life again in an amazing and even heavier way! And Chris is the singer LZ should have had instead of Robert.
Charlotte, What Black Sabbath song sounds like the day I tried to live? What Led Zeppelin song sounds like Superunknown or ty Cobb? There’s no doubt that soindgarden was influenced by zep and sabbath but to say that they don’t have a unique sound is just not true. As someone steeped in early blues I have a hard time seeing sabbath and zep as having an original sound. Don’t get me wrong, the wizard is definitely in my top five favorite songs of all time and both bands show up on any play list I make but neither of them are as musically original as soundgaden. Wolfmother sounds like sabbath/zep but were not talking about wolfmother...
@@godwantsplastic I'm born 1964 and grew up with awesome music. Blues and jazz too of course. Soundgarden have a unique style, omg, no way they're a rip off or so. I meant it's like a modern version of that first heavy bands. Totally agree with Wolfmother. And Greta von Fleet is fucking awful. Btw I listen to every genre, Soundgarden are citing my beloved Killing Joke as an influence. Absolute all time fave band, Geordie is a god for me, second is Godflesh (from Birmingham too, Justin and Ben said it's a very bad place to grow up, therefore the heaviness, way more than Sabbath) I love hundreds of bands and genres, also weird stuff like Coil, Swans, Throbbing Gristle etc. But AIC and Soundgarden are one of the best of course. Love AIC more because they are so dissonant, also Layne and Peter Steele saved my fucking life. Of course I was devastated about Chris too. What a waste of life and talent 😢
This video is very very well put together, superb job my friend

👍😉🤘
Even the new stuff is awesome
It’s alright.
*all just my opinion, I love them all!*
Alice In Chains - Metal Grunge, more stylistic with the instrumental harmonies
Nirvana - Punk Grunge, more focused on the abstract
Pearl Jam - “80s” Grunge (I always thought they carried some 80s sound with them), or Energetic Grunge, more focused on storytelling
Soundgarden - Rock Grunge, more focused on vocals and flow

@DeathToMasons very true. Honestly my opinion’s changed a bit on all of them 😅 like AIC is more about inner demons so their music is darker, especially new Chains, nirvana is about challenging authority and convention so their music really is angry sometimes, PJ is very political with songs like even flow challenging homlessness, they want their music to sound more mainstream to reach more ppl, and Soundgarden is apocalyptic (just look at 4th of July lol), with their sound going dark af sometimes to really makes that doom grunge
Sound garden are more prog grunge
@@blake3001 guess that’s also true! :)
Instrumental and vocal harmonies*

Rock on...👍😉🤘
@@miguelsequeiraguitar bro! ✨☕️☕️☕️✨🏆🇨🇦
No one wins this..... They're impossible to compare. All had great riffs, all had different styles, despite the unfair grunge moniker. If you prefer a more classic rock sound it's obviously Pearl jam, if you prefer a more sludgy and progressive metal mix it's gonna be Soundgarden, if you prefer a more simplistic punk style approach with all the catchiness of fly paper, it's gonna be Nirvana, if you prefer a more traditional metal approach, crossed with a little blues, classic rock, and sludge it's going to be chains
Bingo.
Your descriptions could even be attributed to each bands albums and songs...if you prefer punk you might like this Soundgarden album or song, if you like classic rock you might like this Soundgarden album or song, if you like metal you might like this Soundgarden album or song...same can be said for all 4 bands if you have listened to their whole catalogs. 4 very talented bands that had diverse catalogs and songs that appealed to lots of different people with lots of different tastes in music. The “Grunge” label that everyone gets caught up on, wasn’t as much about music style as it was about the Seattle music scene in general. Including the time, the place, the style of dress, the attitude,...
I second this opinion wholeheartedly.
Pearl Jane and nirvana for me
Well played.
Alice chains wins, such a nostalgic and dark band. You feel like you’re either waiting to die, or mourning a death while listening
Oh yeah yeah
Both, in my opinion. I’ve had spiritual journeys with them. It’s crazy.
That’s the most metal thing I’ve ever heard.
Viral PooPoo oh yeah yeah yeah yeah
Sean Carlson thank you sir
Love it! Subscribed
Thank you very much!

The transition from Even Flow to Outshine was awesome!
👍😉🤘
My favourite is Jerry Cantrell, simply the best!
Love them all, but man, Alice is just something else
Xime Armenta they really are just beyond music
Jerry Cantrell is one of the best riff writers of all time
Jerry is the Tony Iommi of grunge riffs
They’re fine I guess.
Exactly, Jerry is the riff lord.
I think Nirvana has the most ICONIC riffs but I think Alice In Chains has the best riffs
Nirvana stomps them if we’re talking about guitar riffs.
@@truettkeaton5023 ur right
@@truettkeaton5023 Nah, Nirvana is not on the same level as AiC. Kurt created some catchy riffs tho
Nirvana has "popular" riffs but AiC is way more iconic, Cantrell is a genius.
@@TheStepmonkey How is Alice in Chains more "iconic" than Nirvana? You can like Alice in Chains more, that's just a matter of taste. But objectively speaking, Nirvana is the most iconic rock band of the 90s, without question.
Fans of the era would have recognized any of the first songs played. But only one song didn't need a title and most people today would still know the name. If we're honest with ourselves, we all know what song I'm talking about.
That was one of the best videos I have ever watched
Thanks a lot for your words!
Regards from Portugal!
Alice in Chains is my favorite grunge band of all time.
There's a reason the music industry calls Jerry Cantrell the riff master. All of them are great but AIC wins the riff contest.
I think soundgarden wins in guitarmenship most skilled but alice in chains makes very catchy smooth riffs so yeah in my opinion alice in chains wins for most best riffs but soundgarden wins in guitarmenship overall skills
Love Alice in chain's. But I think he should have picked a couple from SGs bad motorfinger, Jesus Christ pose and rusty cage. It was a heavier album
Technically, many call Toni Iommi the "riff master" as it is said he has hundreds still on deck. But AIC forever...\m/
Well, Ritchie Blackmore composed probably the most memorable riffs. Nevertheless, I go with Soundgarden.
