Summary

A down-and-dirty chronicle of the birth and evolution of the Seattle grunge scene—from backyard skateboard ramps and underground hardcore clubs to worldwide phenomenon—as told by one of its founding fathers and lead guitarist of legendary alternative rock band, Mudhoney.

In the late 80s and early 90s, Steve Turner and his friends—Seattle skate punks, hardcore kids, and assorted misfits—started forming bands in each other’s basements and accidentally created a unique sound that spread far beyond their once-sleepy city. Mud Ride offers an inside look at the tight-knit grunge scene, the musical influences and experiments that shaped the grunge sound, and the story of Turner's bands, Green River and Mudhoney, which went from underground flophouse shows to selling out stadiums with Nirvana and Pearl Jam. Including stories about the key moments, musicians, and albums from grunge's beginnings to its come-down from the highs of global success and stardom, this is the first account of the musical phenomenon that took over the world from someone who was there for it all.

Written by Steve Turner, lead guitarist of Mudhoney, a foundational grunge band that inspired musical icons from Kurt Cobain to Sonic Youth, Mud Ride features a foreword by Pearl Jam's Stone Gossard and never-before-seen photographs and grunge memorabilia throughout. Take a seat and ride through the messy and muddy grunge scene that grew from the basements of the Northwest and went on to circle the globe.

MUST HAVE FOR FANS: For cult fans of Mudhoney and all things Seattle grunge, this is the perfect book to add to your collection. Turner helped put Sub Pop Records on the map, a label that launched bands like Soundgarden and more. Mudhoney was also one of the first American grunge bands to tour Europe and the UK, laying the groundwork for the worldwide explosion of grunge. Learn more about the ins and outs of the birth of grunge and immerse yourself in '80s and '90s Seattle.

A GREAT GIFT FOR MUSIC LOVERS: For the aspiring musician or anyone wanting to learn more about music history, this is an illuminating look into grunge and Seattle bands that have gone on to become world-famous.

AN ESSENTIAL ROCK HISTORY BOOK: An amazing gift for readers of Legs McNeil and Gillian McCain's Please Kill Me, John Doe and Tom DeSavia's Under the Big Black Sun, and Michael Azerrad's Our Band Could Be Your Life. Anyone wanting to learn more about the history of grunge will delight in this great tell-all read.

13 repeats of the word 'grunge'. Is that now an accepted classification by 'grunge' musicians? Just curious. Sure it's a great read.

@Mudhoney_ and @pearljam will forever be joined at the hip because of the shared history going back to the Green River days. But before even that, Steve Turner (@stevesbadideas) and Stone Gossard were high school friends. So it made sense, since they've known each other for 40+ years that Stone would write the Foreword to MUD RIDE.

I’m sure they don’t care anymore. We are all older, does anyone really care? 

I’ll say this for sure… Little Dogs isn’t grunge. It’s garbage.

Lol. Won't listen to it.  I don't like the word grunge. F me anyway! Grunge is on the bottom of my boots and between my teeth. also a type of music I enjoy. Fun anyway.  Who cares. I'll read it when my library gets a copy. I think that's what all the kids are doing these days

With Stone and Jeff and the friendship you’ve had over the years, what’s it like to be able to still play with them today, doing things like the Home Shows when you came out with them, 40 years after the Green River days?

Oh, it’s so fun. That’s why I was in Seattle. I was actually recording some random music with Stone and Regan Hagar. These friendships carry on for sure. I see Stone quite often. We’d love to go out on the road with them again at some point.

Can you tell me about the project?

This was just the three of us laying down some experimental grooves and see what comes of it. There’s going to be a lot of editing involved. We didn’t write any music, we just got in there and had a synthesizer and couple guitars and a drum kit and just went at it. I’m sure we’ll do a little bit more of it and see if we can tease together a few things that make sense.

Interesting!...
