I’m actually friends with Andy Woods widow Xana. Lovely person. Stardog Champion is a somewhat patriotic song. Being the best you can and not repeating the mistakes of previous generations. Andy actually had a fantastic relationship with his parents. MLB recorded this album in my home, the SF Bay Area, hence the multiple references to SF in the albums lyrics. In this song, the backing vocals are done by a San Francisco Children’s Chorus of abused children. He gave them all lunch and played around with them for hours to make them happy and laugh. He had a heart of gold.
Thank you so much for sharing this wonderful story ❤
This is awesome. Thank you for sharing.
@@731trident You're very welcome
@@xTrolx You're welcome my friend
I love this song definitely on my play list !
My brother, Bruce, was in that band. The offshoot of Green River. The rest is history and honestly the invitation for rest of the world to come to Seattle.
This is an older Patreon video from our 'Grungeish' marathon guys FYI. Enjoy!
No pressure by logic please??? For the rattpack that held y’all down when you was below 1K? If you already heard it at least a review would be awesome
Stargazer is a great song by them aswell..
Great band, and but one of my least favorite songs from them. Stargazer, Crown of thorns, gentle groove are all excellent.
Just saw the dadbod video thanks guys!! It’d be awesome if you made the entire album reaction for Patreons exclusively, it’s worth it trust me, logics best work to date
@@allsystemsgo8678 agreed
Mother Love Bone was the crossover point between 80's Hair Bands and 90's Seattle Grunge. You can actually hear the transition happening across this whole CD
Spot on
I would have *really* loved this when it came out, but 'Louder Than Love' got to me first. Circling back in '92, this EP struck me as a little too L.A./glam. Still liked to play this song, loud.
Couldn't have said it better
Always said that. Bought the album, without knowing anything about the band. I was into the 80s glam scene, and this was the bridge to the settle scene. Still one of my favourite albums.
It's really weird, but Andrew Wood dying had one of the most profound effects on rock music of any single event. Never occurred to me.
@Silas Edge I don't know about that. If Wood lives then their is no Pearl Jam. If you don't have Pearl Jam, then you don't have Eddie Vedder's whining about fame.
@@allsystemsgo8678 it would definitely be cool to see an alternative uniververse where Andrew lived.
@@Brainbox3000 not the universe we deserve but the one we need. Andy wasnt a big enough sacrifice to get 1.5 good PJ albums. Although Temple of the Dog was one of the very few good things to come from his death.
Pearl Jam has some of the most kikazz jams Rock Music and it's fans has ever been blessed with !!!@@allsystemsgo8678
"Stargazer" "Man of Golden Words" and "Chloe Dancer" are the songs to check out
Chloe Dancer 8:22 version
bone china
Holy Roller
Crown of Thorns
Yeah this song is probably barely in the top 10 of Mother Love Bone songs.
Jeez, you guys. You just hit a great one. Andy Wood was Chris Cornell’s roommate. Layne Staley is wearing Wood’s orange sweater in the video Would? If you want to hear the actual reference to the Temple of the Dog, it’s in “Man Of Golden Words”. (Wanna show you something like the joy inside my heart/since I’ve been living in the temple of the dog...”.) I’m donating to a channel-this channel-for the first time because you guys did this. This album saved me. THANK YOU!
Agreed, not a bad track on it.
💔😭
“Chloe Dancer” is their masterpiece check that one out.
The 8:22 version
Is a masterpiece of the whole 90s.
@@sergegrone it's a masterpiece of forever .....
@@prowrestlingreviews3225 Yes. Gotta be the Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns version that was on the Singles soundtrack.
@@sergegrone recorded in 89 and released in 90. Its the masterpiece of the 80s & 90s
This band was the pre-cursor to Pearl Jam. Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament went on to start Pearl Jam
I’m surprised this wasn’t mentioned.
Came here to say this. Chris Cornell and Andy Wood were roommates. He put together Temple of the Dog with Andy's band mates as a tribute. Pearl Jam wasn't even formed before Temple of the Dog, and Eddie Vedder's involvement on that album was basically a guest spot. Obviously something clicked during that recording session, resulting in Pearl Jam.
@Silas Edge Fair enough. I understand the history a bit better now. Thank you.
wasn't a pre cursor...wouldn't have happened I'd he did t pass...
Ahh man, please do check out Chloe Dancer / Crown Of Thorns!
The Best.!!
this
Or Stargazer (my favorite from them).
GCx Stargazer is my fav too.
Yes. The 8:22 version
Doing Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns is a total flip to the other side of their style. George may like that more, his type of vibe potentially
Big agreement!
This is Shangri-la is a good one too 😁
Yeah man, it's amazing.
Totally agree with doing that song.
Yes, yes, yes!!! Awesome song👍
Damn! It's been at least 25 years since i last heard this song. Thanks for breaking this one out.
Unlike the other Seattle singers Andy wanted to be the biggest rock star in the world and play arenas. Those that came after him were all full of angst and claimed to hate the fame. Andy wanted to be the next Freddie Mercury and wasn't shy about it.
Now do SCREAMING TREES - NEARLY LOST YOU.
Mark Lanegan's voice is awesome.
Great one!
that album is flawless
"All I Know" is great as well.
then Song for the Dead from Queens of the Stone Age.
Yeeesss. Or shadow of the season
I like to think of MLB as if Guns N Roses were grunge. Like Grunge N Roses
I thought of guns n roses while hearing this. Weird then I saw your comment lol
I think it’s awesome that you guys checked out Mother Love Bone. They don’t get enough credit. I think you guys would enjoy Chloe Dancer / Crown Of Thorns
YOU DID THE WRONG SONG!
You should have done "Chloe Dancer / Crown Of Thorns!"
Amazing.
Ikr I was just coming to say the same thing. I’m sure a lot of ppl rec’d this one bc chloe dancer is the song you think of when you think of MLB, and you know everyone has to prove they love the deep cuts and their favs are the songs that didn’t hit. Although I’m prob being judgmental. I’ve just had a lot of experience w the types who really want you to know how cool they are and how good their taste is. But chloe dancer is still the best mother love bone song. Although that song has kind of been ruined for me bc of a night out where I got to fcked up and did things that make me cringe.
Yes! Say it again for those in back!
Agreed!!
This no wrong so here. Do ‘em all! God, I hurt thinking about this band.
He was very loved and his passing was a huge loss to the music industry in the fans that admire you so much I still admire him. He’s alive and well in my playlist daily digging in Mother, Love, Bone, and I swear I promise you this will be a diehard Mother, Love, Bone fan.
Such an underrated band. They would have bee huge.
Mother Love Bone was reason for Temple of the Dog, which was a tribute to MLB. It included Eddie Vedder and Chris Cornell. Hunger Strike and Say Hello to Heaven were specially written for Andrew Wood.
Temple of the Dog was better than this.
Did you not listen to the start of this video?
Temple of the Dog was a tribute to Andrew Wood, not MLB.
Jeff Strasser naw, dude. There’s a whole album of great music here.
Chris, I have both cd's. I'm guessing they were better live.
I'm hearing a lot of Jane's Addiction in this song
Nailed it.
I said the same thing!!!
Have they done any Jane's Addiction yet? They were the burned down bridge between glam and grunge. They took their own path out of the trees
Eric Flowers yes they did Ocean Size
@@tukkerintensity5575 yes
Such a great album, full of great songs, I'd recommend "This is Shangri-la", "Come Bite the Apple", "Man of Golden Words" or pretty much any song on the record!
ricklally “Give it to meeee, yeah!”
Come Bite The Apple may be their best song.
You guys recently were wondering who the song far behind was about, now you know.
It's amazing how many people love all the songs written in their memory but never listened to or heard of them.
A band that never got the recognition they deserved ! Rip Andrew!! We love you!!
Thanks guys for reviewing and giving props to a great band and man! You guys rock!
Classic Band rest in Peace Andrew Wood. Also Layne Staley, and many others>>>>much love
Mannnnnnn I wish you did Say Hello 2 Heaven.......one of my all time top songs
You guys are awesome. I appreciate you guys bringing music like this to a lot of people that may have not heard of it otherwise. I appreciate that very much. Keep on doing what yall do. Love and respect from Texas.
I will always love, respect & admire Andrew!!!
They were VERY influential!
GNR, Pearl Jam wouldn’t be if he hadn’t passed.
RIP AW!
He’s alive & well in all of playlists
Mother Love Bone - Chloe Dancer/ Crown of Thorns
Nice. Never seen another MLB reaction. For my money, the best Seattle band.
The bridge between hair metal and grunge.
Freddy Mercury was a big influence on Andy Wood.
I will never know why, I will never deny that every time I hear this song, it brings tears to my eyes and makes me almost unabashedly cry. I just don’t know why.
Love this you guys touched base on the beginning of a whole new era. Bone China is my all time fav from that album. Worth a listen. Also man of Golden Words. Thanks guys.
This is Shangri-La....... Cause love is all good people need
Music sets the sick ones free
Without love no one ever grows nothing ever sings
Yes. “This Is Shangri-La” is MLB’s stunning masterpiece. One of the most Hendrix-esque songs of the ‘90s, along with the Verve’s “All In The Mind,” Smashing Pumpkins’ “Drown,” Swervedriver’s “Never Lose That Feeling,” Juned’s “Kyuss,” & Plexi’s “Dayglo.”
You guys are hitting every song in my whole grunge (dirty!😉) childhood! 😭😭😭 Love this! RIP Layne and Andy!
I worked in an independent record store at the time of Andrew Wood’s death and I remember being devastated. His style was very much glam meets grunge. His death was the reason Pearl Jam ended up coming together so we can all be thankful for that.
So Andrew Wood was supposed to be Kurt Cobain for 90's music but died before he could cement himself.
A more interesting fact is, they were suppose to and compared to Led Zeppelin. Critiques ' thought they would change music the way Zeppelin did
Kurt Cobain was Kurt Cobain for 90's music.
Nudesoftheworld Eroticdrawings exactly
Not really Andrew had a totally different vibe than Kurt
Kurt was Kurt
Andy was Andy
MLB has the classic vibe 70s/80s with a twist from 90s grunge critics compared their debut album with Zeppelin
I'd say they would approach the grunge scene on a different side
Funny how life is Stardom didn't happen to Andy someone who was craving that but happened to Kurt and Nirvana whose didn't really give a shit about it
I can’t be the first to say this but Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns is in my top 5 all time songs by anyone!!! There’s a reason Pearl Jam covers it. AMAZING song by Mother Love Bone
Mother Love Bone was about as much an 80s rock band as they were grunge, and I have a feeling that had Wood not died, the early 90s transition from rock to grunge would have been less contentious. Fun fact: Kurt Cobain despised both this band and Wood’s stage persona because it didn’t align with his own suicidal punk rock view of the concept. Both MLB and Alice In Chains were the best of what Seattle has to offer, and most metal heads like myself appreciate what they brought to the table.
I can definitely see that Cobain/Wood juxtaposition. Different personalities, stage presence, sense of "theater", etc. Brilliant in their own ways, but definitely different regarding their approach to music and performance.
Never heard this song before. I enjoyed it
Same or the band, it was cool though, nothing special, but it was still a solid listen, just sounded like classic 80's Rock, but they did it justice
You guys, to me, are the kings of the reaction and analysis content. Always love your videos.
You guys rock !!
Glad i found your channel .. always enjoy wathing your videos :)
Bravo guys! 👏🏻👏🏻 Great song and reaction.
Wood's prior band, Malfunkshun, is also worth checking out.
Yep very good early Andy, but his brother’s chaotic solos get a little tiring.
My first video I’ve ever seen of you guys-you two are f#%kin great, man😀✊. I’m subbed up, be tuning in from now on for sure
This has always been one of my favorite albums. I was a teenager when it came out. It is a very unique sound, living in between eras of glam rock and grunge. That being said, when ppl first hear it and they haven't attuned to yhe uniqueness they just compare it to 80s bands like the ones stated or, say, Guns n Roses. But it's nothing the same really.
Yes! Mother Love Bone!
Great for you Gents! Like your style. You've done a really great job of refining your talents and delivering on content. Great channel.
"Holy roller" is my favorite, no doubt.
Me too 😊
Like nothin’ bad!
I actually saw them open for Jane's Addiction alongside Soundgarden at the Paramount theatre in Seattle in like 1990 or something. We were there for Jane's and had not heard of these other two bands. "Nothings Shocking" had just erupted and was changing everything so my friends and I were not paying much attention. I remember that Andrew Wood was drunk, he actually fell down or fell off a speaker on his ass at one point and he did a lot of banter - it was entertaining. He was dressed like a glam-rocker and his voice had that kind of 'Gary Glitter' tone. I cannot imagine that he was at his best and he may have been slightly embarrassed, I remember feeling that. The takeaway was that he and the band were having a lot of fun and had the audience in that mood for their whole set. Soundgarden was next and that was characterized by Chris's piercing voice that the sound system did not seem able to accommodate. It sounded like a car stereo with one of those old-school amps turn on and the speakers just could not handle it. His voice was too big for the sound engineers to get a handle on. Jane's owned it for sure. They had to stop at one point to cover the orchestra pit with plywood because an impromptu mosh pit appeared there. I jumped in, too. They were all friends by then I think and Jane's seemed to be really leading them into that bigger sound thanks to their Cali experience.
You guys definitely NEED to do Jeff Buckley!!!! Do the song Last Goodbye 😬😃
i think they'd love the groove on eternal life
@@somedaysometime The live version would be awesome. Honestly I'd take any Jeff Buckley.
But if you guys are looking some Buckley recommendations: So Real, Grace, Dream Brother, Calling You
@@mowainwright73 oh yeah for sure man
you want play-list, do Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns. I can listen to that song a million times and it still gives me chills.
imo it is to grunge what Stairway to Heaven is to 70's rock.
Back in the day they were billed with Alice in Chains and Soundgarden many Friday and Saturday night down at the local clubs. 88 89 and 90. They were the biggest local draw next to Soundgarden. If I remember right though Nirvana was big locally they shared a different billing.
Chloe, stargazer, gentle groove
Best of MLB imo. Amazingly underrated band. Andy was taken wayy to soon but left us the gift of MLB/ future pearl jam. And I will always thank him for that.
Listened to Chloe dancer for 5 years and still my all time fav song, no doubt about it.
My top 5 Mother Love Bone songs:
1° Stardog Champion
2° Chloe Dancer
3° Crown Of Thorns
4° Stargazer
5° This Is Shangrila
Before even watching this, you get a thumbs up. Just exposing your audience to this wonderful gem of a band is really all one can ask for. To be honest, I'm not sure it would even be possible to fully grok what this music was coming into it all these years later. MLB will always hold a special place in my heart and remind me of my years living in Hollywood when I was much younger.
There are so many great songs by Andrew. Some of my favorites are Man Of Golden Words, No Blues For You, Come Bite The Apple, and Until The Ocean. Another song that was written about him after his death was Chemical Straightjacket by the band Living Sacrifice. I don't expect anyone to have heard of them, and I don't expect that you'll ever listen to it, but I enjoy the entire album that song comes from. I've sung Stardog Champion at karaoke. He had a hell of a vocal range.
Down and dirty groove and guitar like I like it and play it LOUD ❤🎸🤘MLB is in my faves rotation - miss these guys! And, I love your channel - Ty so much for what you do!
I totally get Ryan’s reaction. Good music brings out that “gotcha” response in some people. It won’t grab everyone, but if you’re in that lucky group it is such a rush. I would encourage listening to all songs by bands you like, not just the popular ones. Deeper in the catalog of good and great bands is where I usually find those songs that bring out the deepest responses. Peace and love the channel!
At this point Im not even watching because I want to see your reaction to the songs or artists i like, im just watching every video and exploring music with you. Thanks for that guys, you filled my playlists for years. Cheers!
Wow! You guys are amazing!
Get the funky side of this album with "Holy Roller" and "Captain Hi-Top"
So happy you did this! Do Stargazer, This is Shangrilla, Come Bite the Apple and Crown of Thorns
The song from Mother Love Bone to listen is : Chloe Dance/Crown of Thorns
Thank you! I never thought you would do Mother Love Bone!
One of my all time favorites
I absolutely loved you're reactions on this one.
I love that you reviewed this guys. Crown of Thorns is their best song and you might recognize it. Stargazer got a lot of radio play especially in Seattle - another great one.
This is Shangri La introduced and sold me to Mother Love Bone
I've always loved this tune.😎🍻
One of my favorite albums, thank you!!
Can't hear this voice without crying..... Gone too soon💔😭
Wow can't believe you did this, saw them. Peace from WA state
As much as I love their whole album, I think "Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns" would've been a better song to react to.
Definitely a gem of a band
So glad you guys checked out this song, since you’re diving deeper into the Seattle scene might I request some Mudhoney. Touch Me I’m Sick would be the obvious pick but they’ve got tons of awesome songs.
Green River too. For some more context.
Great song! Fantastic sponaneous reaction. I really appreciate it.
Chloe dancer/ Crown of thorns is one of the best songs in music history. For me, i'm into Meshuggah, Tool, or uber new rock, grown with Pantera, Sepultura and Metallica. That song tells me why that guy and his band were so important back then. I can't really imagine where Andrew Would have achieve. He was by far the best individual of Seattle move. Sorry Kurt Cobain fans, but that androgine tons of talent Would have shatter Nirvana into the dust. Music Would be different today if that guy Wouldn't die.
I remember when I was living in Portland and this came out. Grunge was already around, although there hadn't been any real hits. Nirvana had already released Bleach, and people were singing along to Mudhoney's "Touch Me I'm Sick." Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard from MLB had already been in Green River, which, along with Soundgarden, was kind of the original grunge band. There was a lot of grunge-type stuff in the clubs and a lot of it was kind of plodding and boring. I thought if MLB as kind of a break from that. They mixed the grunge sounds with the Aerosmith grooves and it made you want to move a bit more than a lot of the bands that were around at the time.
Commercial radio in the Northwest wouldn't touch any of it. Even commercial sounding stuff like this was entirely in record stores, college radio, and clubs. The only Northwest rock band that ever got played was Heart, but there were thousands of people at shows. It was a huge scene. I liked the fact that MLB had that kind of funky, commercial aspect to their sound. It had more zip than a lot of bands.
One thing I like about this song is the left turn it takes with the children singing. First he talks about the children singing of love, and then the guitar player goes into a wah-wah guitar solo that doesn't really sound like children singing of love. Usually when you hear a solo like that, it's people talking about sex. Then the children's chorus come back in, but they're also not singing anything I've heard children sing before. I like the fact that it's confusing and offbeat. Andrew Wood may not have succeeded in telling a story, but he's saying something. I like the fact that the groove gets you, but the concepts never really settle down.
I lived in McMinnville and the station at Linfield College played metal and grunge on Fridays, before Headbangers Ball came on later in the evening. First time I ever heard Alice in Chains ('88/'89), among other bands before they blew up nationwide was on that station. Great memories. The music of my generation.
Ha!! No way on Gods green earth this is your first listen! If so, can you share more gems like this we’ve all been oblivious to🥳😘
I totally agree to the emotional connection and the passion that these song delivers. Some are receiving it, some not. But hey, that’s how it is. It’s never obviously black or white (in the sense of good or bad).
You guys should do “Gentle Groove”, “Bone China”, or “Stargazer”!!!
Stargazer.!!!!
@@yadigjamesgang-xs7jj Stargazer!! Damn glad to see people with good taste
Bone China 👍 🤘🤘
I cover Stargazer at acoustic gigs in Portland. Always see somebody wiping their eyes.
As for Stargazer, Xana is still alive, well and active in the music scene.
I'm really liking this. I'm a 60's, 70's soul and rock and roll listener in my 60's now. Jazz is my first love. But yeah, I like this, and yeah play it loud. Thanks! Glad you guys are o.k.!
Moved to Seattle in 88 with my bandmates from our small logging town in eastern Oregon. We didn't want to move to LA and we had heard rumor that Seattle's music scene was "decent". (Not my words) Wow were we blown away. I feel so lucky to have been there before the explosion that became "Grunge". The word "Grunge" was never said or mentioned by anyone in the music scene. It was/is purely a marketing tagline created by the record companies. We wore flannel because it was cheap and it kept us warm when it rained. It was an amazing couple of years and by 1990 word was getting out. Every band and their mother moved to Seattle and tried to copy the sound in an attempt to ride the wave. The best clubs: The Vogue (Where the vampires hung out and the famous MLB mural stood), The Off Ramp, Crocodile, OK Hotel, The Central Tavern, The OZ, the list goes on. Alice in Chains, MLB, Mudhoney, Skinyard, Screaming Trees, TAD, Soundgarden (Nude Dragons), Gruntruck, My Sisters Machine...A lifetime of memories! RIP Landrew, Layne, Chris, Stefanie, Barrett, Ben, Kurt and many others.
15:25 and I 100% agree, man!!! Just another example how excellent these reviews are. It’s by far not scratching the surface only and both are totally into music and the feeling. Really you are doing a fantastic job! 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
you guys are awesome
Thanks for doing this
Now you need to do Smashing Pumpkins boys!
Siamese Dream is a masterpiece!
They did Bullet with Butterfly Wings if I'm not wrong.
That was killer. Never heard this before
Finaly! Mother Love Bone 👍🏻 But you Have to do crown of thorns
Very fair and well spoken review 👍
Excellent. Jeff and Stone from Pearl Jam were in this band. First Green River with Mark Arm who formed Mudhoney. Then Mother Love Bone. Then Pearl Jam. Andy's first band Malfunkshun with one of his Brothers is good too. There is a documentary about Andy too that is heartbreaking. Great band.
Man of golden words and Chloe dancer crown of thorns
MLB - Come Bite The Apple
That's a phenomenal song
Stargazer is my favorite Mother Love Bone song, and one of my all time favorites. I can't believe you are reviewing a MLB song at all! Most people have no idea who MLB even are.
A patron by the way (FWTW)...It’d be cool to see reviews of some new material by some of the old bands, like the new Testament songs (“children of the next level”, etc) and Death Angel “humanicide”
Yeah never could get into Mother Love Bone, nice video anyway guys!!!
Totally has an 80s hair metal vibe to it with touches of grunge. You got the quintessential group "shouting" that a lot of hair metal bands did in the 80's, but you got that sludgy groove that grunge had. They definitely have a strong Soundgarden sound to them though too!
After Andrew woods was gone the band members formed PJ and later Soundgarden and alice
The movie "Singles" was also dedicated to Andrew Wood
What a great band that never went anywhere. There time was cut so short
Reacting to some Stevie Ray Vaughan would be sick!!! He is one of the greatest guitarists ever, along with the sick bass lines in his songs, you guys would like it I feel...
Or Jimi Hendrix!!
Definitely!!!
