The **** is Heroine Rock?
Surely you can figure that out.

Sorry, I'd have to smack myself stupid before I realize he meant the drug heroin & not a female hero and then extrapolate that to the Seattle scene like decades of rock stars before weren't also junkies.


Acid rock, cocaine rock and pill rock wasn't a clue?

It's all ****ing stupid and not even accurate so no.


It's very accurate. Acid was huge in the 60s among rock stars. Cocaine was huge in the 80s, followed by heroine in the 90s. Don't be mad because it went over your head.

All I know is that today's new popular music is not very good.

That's a lot like the one I remember from the Vh1 doc. It's incredible,thanks for sharing! Didn't mean it in a harsh way earlier ("peak response") and it was a compliment. What I love about the EB music folk is that I can pull up anything out of my ass and SOMEONE will know wtf I am talking about, and I love it. Although nobody called me out on my Canadian rock band thread for listing Manitoba's Wild Kingdom as a Canadian band. They're from NYC.

I had a metal show at the ol college radio station and always loved we had the alt cover for Wolverine Blues, the one Marvel sanctioned. And now I associate Wolverine with Entombed forever, which is weird with all those movies a few years ago.

Country music cruised solidly from 1970 -199x. Then went to crap once Boot Scooting Boogie and Chattahoochee came out.

There is a long list of rock stars who were heroin (no E) junkies in the 70's and 80's. Just because you are ignorant to that doesn't mean I am wrong.

I was a very early listener of swedish death metal! I actually remember when jester race, storm of the lights bane, and slaughter of the soul came out, and picked all of them up right away! I totally remember hearing hollow man, and picking up that album as well.
I saw dissection and at the gates as openers for morbid angel in 1997.

That stuff was my jam at that time. Still love it. Got to see at the gates play the album in full a year or two ago.

Wish in flames would do it with Jester race, probably my favorite of the genre.

The peak of Grunge was Butch Vig's production work (Only) on Nirvana's Nevermind album (only).

Everything else is post-Grunge, including all subsequent works by Butch Vig and Nirvana, themselves.

Slaughter of the Soul just didnt click with me. The Gallery and Jester Race are better albums IMO. And while Jester Race and Whoracle are amazing albums, after Clayman I just couldn't get into In Flames as much. Anders's voice annoys me too much.

Opeth is my favorite metal band but they don't really belong to that scene IMO. Soilwork is my favorite melodic death band though they came after the initial wave of Gothenburg bands.

I'm totally with you on in flames, clayman was the last album I truly like front to back. But that 4 pack of albums from jester race to clayman is hard to beat. I don't even really get excited when they come to town now a days. I saw them in late 90s a few times, and a handful of times in 00s, and again (with opeth) in 2016.

Somehow opeth eluded me until deliverance/damnation era. Easily my top 3 or 5 metal band now though. I've seen them 6-7 times, including the red rocks show with gojira they put on dvd. Also devin townsend at that show, who I had just recently discovered that year, and now am a total DT nut. (Weird caveat, I saw SYL with Fear factory back in the day.. but had no idea about his solo career)

You're right, opeth totally doesn't belong with any genre really. I mean I guess pre Heritage, they were firmly in metal/prog metal, obviously with experiments in folk/acoustic/jazz, but now just kinda classic prog rock.
