Dave Grohl: ‘I Thank God For Grunge Bands That Survived’
http://www.seattlepi.com/entertainment/music/article/Dave-Grohl-I-would-be-here-if-it-weren-t-for-5917526.php
“Even just walking down the street when coming to Seattle … the city always made me feel at home,” Grohl said. “People say, ‘Hey, Dave’ as if I never left. It means a lot to me.
“There’s something about that place that welcomes you home like a small town – even if I haven’t been there for years,” he added.
Grohl later said, “Whenever I bump into someone from Seattle, I thank God they survived. I get really emotional when I see a band like Soundgarden or Pearl Jam play because I’m so happy that they survived – a lot of people didn’t.”

Shit, I REALLY got into them my freshman year in college 93 Fullerton California. Met some kid that was into them as me but he was all into buying bootleg CDs from these 2 places in Fullerton. Back then no one what the fuck boots were but this kid not only knew, he knew which ones had AWESOME quality. He had so fucken many. And we used to sit in his car in the parking lot before class smoking a J and he'd be playing different songs and shit blew my mind. I was super hooked after that. Wow, what it would be to go back to 93. ShitBig Bank Hank said:

Shit you guys just brought me back to the 90's! Thank you!! The 90's were fantastic... I too had a buddy who with I bought piles of bootleg CDs from local places. No Fuckin Messiah comes to mind as one he had I was jealous of....
And then there were all the people on the web who we traded with, mailing maxell xL-II's in padded envelopes all over the country. I still have a few hundred old cassettes of pj shows collecting dust where I grew up. Good stuff.
And yeah, you think Ed looks back now and laughs and is like "shit I coulda looked a bit better or put together when I had met Clinton!"
Edit- damn autocorrect. Didn't have that in the 90's.I'm like an opening band for your mom.0 -
Oh no Ed looked like Ed when he met Clinton.....that's exactly how he would have wanted it, he was obviously invited for a reason and that wasn't to dress like someone he wasn't.
Anyway, great words from Dave. Its always great hearing fellow musicians appreciate what we appreciate....0 -
Good read, how is the documentary??? I haven't seen it yet, worth checking out?Cant buy what i want cause its free....0

and it is not like Bill Clinton was in a suit or tie, he was pretty casual, and the two have kept in touch, I recall with in the past year or two Eddie playing a fundraiser for the Bill Clinton Foundation or whatever it is they call it, so Eddie would laugh at that photo now, kind of like when they ask him about that MTV special for Singlespdalowsky said:Oh no Ed looked like Ed when he met Clinton.....that's exactly how he would have wanted it, he was obviously invited for a reason and that wasn't to dress like someone he wasn't.

which one? The Mudhoney movie is great, and the series Dave is doing is an 8 part series and I have yet to see it, he is going to 8 different series, obviously the Seattle is the one I anticipate seeing the mostjuddboz80 said:Good read, how is the documentary???
