Mother Love Bone fans?

Posted by Coitus_lnterruptus@reddit | Xennials | View on Reddit | 57 comments

I remembered hearing their name after Pearl Jam made it big, but I don't really recall hearing their music in the 90s/00s. Sirius plays a few of their songs infrequently on the Lithium channel. I took a deeper dive into them earlier this year, and they have became one of my favorite bands to listen to. Any other Mother Love Bone fans here?

Fuckin-A right! We wouldn't have Pearl Jam, Soundgargen, Alice In Chains, or Temple of the Dog if it wasn't for these guys.

Pearl Jam and Temple of the Dog, yes, but both Soundgarden and AIC were well established and had released their debut albums before Wood's death.

Yes. 🙌 My little sister and I covered Man of Golden words once on an album. Fond memories.

I didn't discover them until after Pearl Jam, which I suspect is the case with a lot of people. They're great. That original grunge scene feels like the last organic movement in rock. It was swiftly wrecked by corporate entities, as is the way of things.

I remember picking up an MLB CD about a month after buying Ten. I was 12 and the guy at Sam Goody thought it was really funny that a 12-year-old girl was buying MLB; he thought I was getting it because the cover had a lot of purple. My mom was with me and heard me say “well I’m buying this because Jeff and Stone from Pearl Jam were in this band and I want to hear what they sound like” She was so proud that I didn’t give one flying fuck about speaking my mind. 🤣

Brought it home, let it rip and it was so different than what I expected. I really thought it’d be more in line with PJ and it wasn’t at all - but I still loved it. Ended up buying the VHS, Apple, couple tee shirts (one with “Half Ass Monkey Boy” written in green on the back. Got TOTD.

It was a foundational band for me as it pushed me into learning about and listening to other bands from back then.

They look like they are the Kids in the Hall dressed up for another hilarious sketch

Stone Gossard's sister was so beautiful here

They always reminded me of The Cult. Which I LOVE.

[-]

toomanyusesforaname@reddit

Don't hear the similarity, but agree on one thing: the Cult was/is amazing

[-]

macrocosm93@reddit

I checked them out but never really liked them. To me they're part of that late 80s sleaze rock era where 4/5 songs are power ballads. But the only grunge band I ever really liked a lot was Nirvana.

I love how many hard rock /grunge acts from the early 90s had circa 1988 publicity photos with teased hair and guyliner

The grunge scene would look & sound very different if Andrew had lived. Great band.

Meh… I heard better. Sorry

chancemyhrt@reddit

Definitely a fan. I named my dog Chloe after one of their songs when I was a teenager. ❤️

HarryBalsagna1776@reddit

For sure! Capricorn Sister is my favorite song.

Andy Wood is legendary. ✨

Three Fish too, and Gossard's solo stuff is amazing.

I saw the at LollaPalooza 94. They are better than the chanting monks.

[-]

DoctorFenix@reddit

No, you did not.

[-]

VectorJones@reddit

They were on the cusp of widespread fame when Andy Wood OD'd. Shame, but we got Pearl Jam as the phoenix that rose from their ashes.

Great band. The perfect bridge between the fun that was the 80’s and the all too serious grunge movement.

Kinda cheesy but I enjoy them

I only heard the name related to Temple of the Dog tribute.

[-]

madshm3411@reddit

I once heard them referred to as “Seattle GN’R” and I feel like it’s appropriate.

Big fan, even if I didn’t really listen to them until after the fact.

Great band, great album. If you dig it, go one step further back and listen to som Malfunkshun.

Every time I see a photo of him I think it’s Shannon Hoon for a split second

We wouldn’t have Pearl Jam without them. Andy had a powerful set of pipes. More akin to Cornell’s than Vedder’s.

I found Apple around 1996, I think? I played it non-stop for months.

I was 10 when it came out so too young to appreciate it until later.
