Yep I listened to all of that Now I mostly listen to progressive rock/metal and much heavier stuff when I’m in the mood for it.

I saw Alice in Chains live back when I was in high school. It was the year their debut cd came out. They opened up the Clash of the Titans tour which featured Anthrax, Megadeth and Slayer. Boy were they in the wrong place. I thought they sounded great, but the majority of the crowd was definitely NOT there to see a grunge band. They were shouting all kinds of “nice” things at AIC and there was a huge “We want Slayer” chant during their entire set. Silly drunk people.

just the first notes of the intro give me chills. i truly lived back then as well, since as kids we’re all invincible. having a rock-n-roll f*ck it attitude was just the order of the day…

@roberta and mike – that’s funny, we were probably all listening to the same music back in the day. i listened to everything from glam hair metal to sepultura. then i phazed into grunge in ‘91. was all about nirvana and alice and chains, pearl jam and soundgarden…etc… i’m glad you guys can relate to the music, it was such an important part of my life back then.

AWESOME!

That video takes me back. Was the fave song of my crazy girlfriend at the time. If there’s one summer where I can say I truly lived a lifetime … it was that one.

Thanks.

I was kidding =)… I have no idea who these 80s rockers are. I still say 3 is Billy Ray Cyrus though… he totally looks like he’s sining Achy Breaky Heart.

Don’t break my heart… my achy breaky heart…
