Was listening to Dirt this morning on the way to work. Has to be one of my top 5 all time favorite albums. I think they are the best band to come out of Seattle

 

Hendrix, Heart...

 

Damn....I forgot about those bands....I love Hendrix and Heart. But Alice has a special place in my heart. Maybe it was the four hits of acid I took when I was 19 and then listen to Dirt over and over.

dude - jar o' flies is so much better! "don't follow" is fawk'n brain-butter...

 

Facelift is much much harder than both of those albums and was by far my favorite. Some of the live shizzle in the box set is good too. Anyone got some old Green River?? There's a defunk Seattle band that kicked some ass, just about as hard as Mother Love Bone. Anyone catch that guy Sean Smith's show locally? Heard he does some good MLB reditions :tup: :tup:

Favorite, ironically from Dirt, would have to be "Rain When I Die", though "I've Got Something (About You)" is my favorite song to jam on my guitar with :rawk:

 

Rain When I Die:

 

Is she ready to know my frustration?

What she slippin inside, slow castration

Im a riddle so strong, you cant break me

Did she come here to try, try to take me

 

Did she call my name?

I think its gonna rain

 

I Know Something (About You):

 

Why can't I take it all OK?

I like to dig and fuck around with your day

I'm gonna tell your mamma

Yeh I'm gonna blackball your name

Ain't no way you'll go without me

Every chance I'll make you pay

 

On your space, in my face, I tell you I know

Somethin' 'bout you, I know somethin' 'bout you

In my space, on your face, I tell you I know somethin'

'Bout you, I know somethin'

 

Why can't I put your words away

I'd like to have more of you in my veins

I'm gonna tell your papa

Yeh I'm gonna try and ball your babe

Your gold key don't fit my crapper

Ain't got no shit today

 

On your space, in my face, I tell you I know

Somethin' 'bout you, I know somethin' 'bout you

In my space, on your face, I tell you I know somethin'

'Bout you, I know somethin' }

 

I'm gonna tell your mama

Yeh I'm gonna blackball your name

Ain't no way you'll go without me

Every chance I'll make you pay

 

On your space, in my face, I tell you I know

Somethin' 'bout you, I know somethin' 'bout you

In my space, on your face, I tell you I know somethin'

'Bout you, I know somethin'

When I die

 

Was it something I said, held against me?

Aint no life on the run, slowly climbing

Caught in ice so she stares, stares at nothing

I can help her but wont, now she hates me

 

She wont let me hide

She dont want me to cry

 

Will she keep on the ground, trying to ground me

Slowly forgive my lie, lying to save me

Could she love me again, or will she hate me

Probly not, I know why, cant explain me

Kevbone – May I suggest this group!

They sure were a crazy bunch. Check out this (link) video where the lead singer jumps off stage to deal with a bunch of pesky bikers. I only wish they threw Grace off the stage.

 

I know you’ll want to see more so search youtube for their rooftop performance in '68 of House on Pooneil Corner. I think it was filmed by Jean Luc Goddard.

 

Just remember to turn up the bass!

 

Oh yea..I think Hot Tuna (the guitarist & bassist) will be in Seattle on 7/3 – buy your tickets early.

I love Alice in Chains and was crushed when Layne Staley died, but I've been listening to a lot of Soundgarden recently and I'd have to argue every album Soundgarden put out was incredible and are probably the best rock band to come out of Seattle.

Yup. Jar of Flies was my favorite of theirs. But Best of Seattle? I dunno. For a great CD, I liked Badmotorfinger at least as much as Jar of Flies and I did see a pretty damn good Nirvana show! And then there's Tad. I never saw the 'bone.

 

(Jimi, born here perhaps, was not really a Seattle guy - was he?)

 

(Heart? You've got to be kidding.)
