Rest easy Kurt 🙏🏾
1991 I watched a cable music video channel that played things MTV would never play. That's where I first saw Nirvana & I thought these guys are about to go really big. A few months later they did. Even MTV started playing their videos. I also discovered Social Distortion on that channel.
I was born in 1984 in Tacoma Washington I've lived here all my life I can remember listening to 107.7 the end and being 14 as I enjoyed the little bits of freedom I had snuck into life as a young teen living with her strict religious Christian mom and let me tell you it was amazingly fucking incredible and I wouldn't trade it for the world!
Please tell me Marco fought against the End playing the ‘radio friendly’ version of NIN’s ‘FYLaA’ where they inserted that weird assed whip sound. I remember hearing that on the End in 90’s and being disgusted. In the clubs, our DJ’s ran with the original.
And put Metal back underground where it belongs, thank you
Ah the nostalgia! I was at the Seattle Center… those were my teenage years!
What a load of shite. You can't introduce a band to the world by p laying it on 1 radio station
KALX 90.7 way before Seattle 107.7
There's a guy who sounds just like him on KEXP in Seattle.
Nirvana we’re ok, but they weren’t grunge. It’s annoying they get played up as the greatest grunge band. They were basically alternative punk. Alice In Chains and sound garden were legit grunge bands and better represented the grunge sound and era.
There were way better Seattle bands.
Jane's addiction was in the rotation of KROQ in the 80's and by the early 90's was in heavy rotation.
The grunge movement gave us Layne Staley, one of the best singers that ever walked this earth.
We need more stories like these!
9:30-:950 ish what’s that song in the background??
Hey this is Eddie vedder from Soundgarden whoops I mean Nirvana or whatever that other band was called I think it's called Pearl jam
He’s my neighbor
such a good grunge history video . rip kurt
Anyone else notice how they used the wrong billboard 200 at 4:08 ?? Lmao that was Nevermind that beat MJ, not In Utero. But it’s okay both are great
Not all hero’s wear capes
NOT EVERY VOWEL MAKES AN A SOUND!!
Marco is the coolest; he helped my band Severna Park so so much, putting us on his KNDD show when no one else would and introduced us to Modest Mouse + Harvey Danger who became huge influences on us.
When music was good, now u rarely hear music as good, music been apart of my life before I left the womb
Why do you have to censor the F word?
THANK YOU SO MUCH BEN
Guns N Roses aren't hair metal.

Nirvana is the famousest band in the genre but is not the best.

The 90's music is the best music ever 💯 🎸

107.7 was the only station I listened to in my car. I miss those days and how cool Seattle was then.
Fun fact: this is the first person you hear in the Classic Albums episode of Nirvana
