    Wrong. The Nirvana and Pearl Jam discs took a while to catch on: it wasn't until heavy airplay of "Smells Like Teen Spirit", that the Seattle scene broke through. Pearl Jam's "ten" had been out a while before it broke through. I picked it up before "Alive" or "Evenflow" were released as singles. I remember my junior year in high school, nobody had heard of them. They headlined a club, and then opened for Red Hot Chili Peppers, and the response was "Pearl who?" It wasn't until "Jeremy" (and the accompanying video) was released that they 'made it big'. This helped in obtaining a spot on the second Lollapalooza with Soundgarden, and RHCP. So, the PJ disc didn't become really popular until late 1992. This was the same time The Black Album (TBA) was doing really well. BTW, TBA came out on August 12, 1991. Do the math, and August 1991 is before late 1992. Whether TBA "opened the door" for grunge or not is a hypothetical question. I think grunge broke through because there wasn't any superficial BS that was accompanying the glam/hard rock/heavy metal bands at the time. The music was raw, the image was genuine, and angst is an emotion most teens can relate to. Hence, the grunge movement was born.

    >The black album did nothing for anyone!

    Speak for yourself.

    >In fact, it was one of the last metal albums to hit the charts really hard before >alternative flourished (another late biggie was "Slave to the Grind" by the Skids). >The Black album was about nothing but radio play!

    Whatever...Metallica spent a year in the studio and nearly drove the producer to therapy all for radio airplay? Watch "A Year And A Half In The Life Of Metallica" tape 1, before you make a comment like that.

    >"Nothing Else Matters" is a crap ballad compared to "Fade to Black".....on all >levels.

    You're contradicting yourself: if people only heard the "radio singles", how could they have heard "Wolf", "Misery", "The God That Failed", etc. I don't think "So

    What" ever received airplay in the countries that it was on the album with. As far as the masses go, according to the 1990 Census, there are 248,709,873 people in the U.S. Not all of them have heard, bought, or even know about TBA. Point of clarification over.

    Sincerely,

    G. Jack Thetgyi

On stage BEFORE Nirvana was a small band by the name of Pearl Jam who only played 5 songs....hope this perspective helps this split debate.

    >it, or the people that create it. some people on this list get over >critical about genres of music outside of prog/metal.

    i agree. just enjoy it for what it is, not for what it's not. actually, i'm more critical of prog than of any other type of music.

    >>what I mean? Lots of death metal, to me, is no tougher than Green Day and

    yeah, ok, whatever, if you say so.

    >certain rythmn....... (that was joke. laugh dammit)

    that's laughable. HAHAHA! there, i feel better. ;) (it's kinda like deja vu, huh?)

    >Silverchair, Hole, Bush, Oasis, (snip, snip) >Faith No More, The Cranberries, Frente, >Green Day, Blind Melon, Rancid...

    faith no more?!?! sorry but they've been around a LOT longer than those other bands. actually, their music, especially on the "real thing" album, is total jazz-inspired prog. i kid you not. give it a listen. it'd damn cool stuff. good synth player, too.

    >What will the next wave be? I'd like to think Progressive, but somehow I don't >see it happening. First, it's an intellectual thing. Only a certain type of >person can REALLY appreciate prog.

    that's so pretentious. i'm not saying there's not any truth to it, but it's still pretentious. ;)

    >next. Maybe a few more generations down the road. Society will be more >educated by then. (Do I sound snooty?)

    yes. ;) but then i've noticed that a lot of prog fans are. not that you are. i'm not saying that at all. but a LOT of prog fans have a huge holier-than-thou attitude about the music. "if it's not prog it is automatically inferior", and other assorted bullshit. that kind of attitude is unfortunate. hopefully you're not one of those people. but your post shows you have a rather tolerant view of things, so you obviously aren't. that is refreshing, to see someone at least do things in a calm manner for once instead of "my music is better than your music because i play in asymmetric time signatures...". how silly.

    Right on dude!! Maybe some of the people on this list cannot handle or appreciate death metal because it is too extreme for them. And good on that person (Anna I think - hail!!) who brought up the fact of people trying to sing like that themselves - it does take practice to work out how to do it without getting a sore throat. To experience an album where the voice is used as an instrument check out OBITUARY's "Slowly We Rot" or "Cause of Death" - alot of it isn't vocals but gutteral sounds!! Who said FAITH NO MORE was grunge - no way!!!

    it's veryu creaitve music, though. very jazzy. almost has to be called "jazz-metal". now THERE"S a term. ;) too bad they broke up.

    he's literally lost like 200 pounds, and i do not exagerate. i hung out with the band for a while earlier this year, and he has slimmed done quite a bit. a LOT, actually. it's very impressive that an individul can have the sheer will power to lose that much weight. it's a true tribute to his character. he is a truly cool individual.

    re:cynic--- >Awesome band. Sean is so precise... well, they all are. >The death growls are kind of hard to get used to, but at >least a lot of the vocals are synthesized (neat!).

    well...not really... they have other singers doing that stuff. most of that is just heavily processed to give it the otherworldly feel that it has, but it's not synthesized from scratch, if that's what you meant.

    >I think the reason there are so many single variations >is that it artificially (in a sense) increases how well >the single is doing in the charts. Corporate bullshit.

    that's true, but it's also true that some strategies do better in differnet parts of the world. while it's true that you can capitalize off of having lots of different types of single for one song, they're also tailor-made to fit the tendencies of each market, be it the US, europe, or japan. not that isn't a money issue, because there is...

    Well, a year after sending my request for info on the fan club, I just received it. I was wondering if anyone is a member and if so, is it worth the $15 and what do you receive. I was also wondering... Someone mentioned a Helloween album with a bonus disc including a KISS cover tune. What is the name of this album and is it available domestically in the US?

    Incidentally... just picked up the 1st GC album. I remember the video for "I'm Not Amused" from '91, but that was all I heard. Thank God I bought the album... and for $4.99 you can't beat it.

    Anyone that can help, please e-mail me privately to avoid taking up space on the often-already cluttered jam.

    Someone wrote in that the BLACK album came out in 1991 with Nirvana and Pearl Jam coming out in 1990. Check those release dates... Nirvana and Pearl JAm came out AFTER the BLACK album in 1991. Also, neither was a huge hit right away. Nirvana popped in 1/92 and PJ later that year.

    BTW, I really hate the new single but I knew I would 4 years ago... BEST BET: the new album will sell over 1 million copies the first week. Noone has done that yeat, athough PJII came close at 930 thousand. Remember you heard it here first!

    On a DT related thread, the RUSH tribute record is set for release 7/24. That date may change. The Jethro Tull tribute will come out 7/3. Both from the fine people at Magna Carta.

    Jammers,

    Okay, somebody mentioned the new Soundgarden album and every so often we'll get a Soundgarden reference on the Jam, so I hope this isn't too far off base.

    Anyone with the new Soundgarden album: How is it? I've got Badmotorfinger and Superunknown and like both of them... but IMO when Soundgarden played on Saturday Night Live they just blew goats. Those tunes they played just bored me... did I not listen/watch closely enough, or is the whole new album just full of filler songs that exist to take up space but don't actually accomplish any sort of emotion or such?

    New Metallica: Thumbs up from me, but it's gonna get *way* overplayed most likely... I've heard it about 5 times in the course of 2 days at work. Definitely gonna buy the new album when it comes out, even though I don't expect anything on the same level as Justice or Puppets.

    DrX -- aka Death

    Btw: I can fly... I really can.
