Mother Love Bone

I just found Mother Love Bone on cd (finally)..... they're a great band and i like the music, but why, why in God's name are they considered a grunge band‽ they sound a lot more like GNR than anything that has to do with grunge lol

Pineknot14 · **Posted:** Sun Feb 14, 2010 9:24 pm

Probably just because the members of the band are "grungers" and they got thrown in that category.

Grunge isn't so much a style of music, its more a lyrical content.
Rarely do grunge bands even sound remotely alike.

Pearl Jam and Alice In Chains also sound more like GN'R than Nirvana to me cos those guys could actually play guitar. Never been a fan of the 'daddy doesn't love me' lyrics of grunge era. Theres a fine line between poetic and pathetic.

As CC said, its more lyrical content. But, pearl jam and nirvana's lyrics are a bit diffrent, but grunge is negative lyrics, dirty distorted playing.
I have no clue why they got put in that catagory

Grunge ended up being more about geography than a specific sound. Mother Love Bone was from Seattle, and just about everything from Seattle or the Pacific Northwest got defined as Grunge. Tad, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Skin Yard, and Love Battery were all considered Grunge bands, but the only thing they had in common was the geographical region they were from, as none of these bands really sound anything like the other.

Mother Love Bone is also considered grunge because a few of the members ended up being in what is one of the more popular and well known "grunge" bands, Pearl Jam.

Grunge is just a different term for alternative music, and alternative music was just a different name for new wave, and some new wave was considered punk before it was new wave, punk bands were just called rock before they were called punk. Who cares about genres? Mother Love Bone was a good band with some good tunes, who's singer OD'd on heroin (another reason perhaps why they are considered grunge), but the bottom line is, they were a good band, no matter if they were rock, glam, metal, grunge, or whatever musical catchphrase anyone wants to call them...

They say history will repeat itself....

80's hair metal, (before grunge) is getting popular in regions of the world.

And, now, pop (miley ctyrus, lady gaga etc) is popular, and that was in mainstream in the 70's am i right?

I think you are ultimately confused young man.

Miley Cyrus and Lady Gaga are NOT the same genre for one. Gaga is new age electro pop music. Cyrus is for kids.

'Pop' just means popular bro so when grunge was popular your beloved Nirvana were indeed a pop band. I for one remember seeing them on Top of the Pops.

80's hair metal was not directly before grunge, its not all cut and paste genre's in each time. At that time you also had bands like Guns N' Roses who are mostly like The Stones with elements of punk, you had U2 who are completely different in their own rights. You also had bands like Rage Against the Machine and Manic Street Preachers who both had political vocals with same meaning as each other but different kinds of music.

Also the 70's popular genre's were punk, disco, soul, funk, progressive rock etc.

Some bands capture the heart of millions and their popularity will never die
and thats usually because how unique and stand out they are from the genre you would pigeon hole them in:

The Beatles
The Rolling Stones
Cream
Jethro Tull
Pink Floyd
Queen
Led Zeppelin
The Who
Black Sabbath
AC/DC
Metallica
Fleetwood Mac
Aerosmith
Deep Purple
Guns N' Roses

The bands I listed are all soooooo different but they are legends and any one of them could sell out a stadium (had they their original line up in some cases). Many of them were considered pop because they were popular.

Indeed when I was your age the 'pop' charts were full of Guns N' Roses and Nirvana etc. You just live at a 5h1t time.

Glad you do li'l bro. Like I said its just unfortunate you are a kid in this day and age. You would have loved it when I was a kid. Most of your favourite bands were charting and on great TV shows such as 'The Word' at the time.

Congrats on the post count btw!

Btw Riley, have you ever heard of a band from here in Belfast called Therapy? ? (The question mark is part of their name) I think you would love an album of theirs called Troublegum and another called Infernal Love. The lyrics are your kinda thing and they do indeed rock. They're still around but were pretty big in the early 90's. Very grunge+rock+the troubles goin on in N. Ireland at the time. Give them a try.

My daughter just found my old Pearl Jam shirt from 1992 and asked why I had a shirt that was all ripped. I thought to myself... Jeez that shirt is nearing 20 years old, i'm starting to feel old.

I agree with you celt, there were some Gems back then. The last time i turned on the FM, the airwaves were filled with Teen angst music. So much for the "Bright antenna bristle with the energy" days. I'm just thrilled to bits that Tool still makes great music... Pearl jam i think started to flag right after the Ten album but that's just my opinion.
