Talk:Mother Love Bone/Archive 1

This is Shangrila appears in this game (much to my surprise) Should this be mentioned somewhere?

legacy ...
its legacy is ultimately overshadowed by Wood's death and the bands that its former members would later form

Not a big deal - but the legacy of Mother Love Bone is in no way overshadowed by Pearl Jam or Temple of the Dog. I am not a big Pearl Jam fan - but Pearl Jam is probably the one thing that has really kept the memory of Andrew Wood and Mother Love Bone alive all these years.

There is many stories of bands that almost made it - but didnt because of something tragic. Mother Love Bone is remembered because of Temple of the Dog - and what one of the back up singers from that album, Gossard, and Ament went on to do after - no Pearl Jam - and Mother Love Bone would only by remembered as the answer to a trivia question about the movie "Singles."

This last paragraph is utterly ridiculous. Mother Love Bone are featured also in the movie Say Anything, the Malfunkshun 2CD+DVD set with the movie "The Andrew Wood Story" just came out which is the second time the Malfunkshun discography has been reissued, there legacy is not overshadowed by anything "for some" and that statement doesn't belong in an encyclopaedia as it's completely someone's POV which is why there isn't a citation on it. The explosion of the Seattle scene allowed EVERYONE that was listening to alternative at the time to learn about Mudhoney, Screaming Trees, Malfunkshun, Mother Love Bone, Green River, etc., and Mother Love Bone the 2CD release was very popular.

Edit 05/10/2006
I removed the following sentence, which I believe to be wholly incorrect:

"Their unique fusion of glam and punk rock music became the prototype for what is now known as grunge, which enjoyed enormous success during the early 1990s."

I don't believe grunge had anything whatsoever to do with glam! Grunge was more like slowed down metal, and eschewed the fancy clothes, prancing and preening associated with glam. Beve 23:39, 4 October 2006 (UTC)

So why are MLB lumped in with 'Grunge' here, just because they're from Seattle and because two of the band later joined Pearl Jam? Anyone who has actually heard 'Apple' knows MLB were in no way a grunge band, or is it just because the almighty allmusic.com says so? :rolleyes: — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.194.15.94 (talk) 22:56, 21 October 2011 (UTC)

" NO wonder NOBODY takes WP SERIOUSLY. BWAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAAs a native Seattle-ite and as an individual WHO WAS THERE AND PART OF THE COMMUNITY AT THE TIME ( AND i STILL AM BTW), I HAVE TO SAY THAT MOST OF you sound like utter morons. Seriously.. All music wasn't there at the time, so how in the fuck would they know anything?" Glam was ABSOLUTELY part of the "seattle scene" WHAT EVER THE FUCK THAT WAS - The narrative that grunge was anything but an invention out of this air by Bruce and Jon is nowhere to be found in your pathetic excuse of an article.... Lets see. 3 members of GREEN RIVER the one time SUB POP flag ship, plus Greg from SKIN YARD? WHAT IN THE FUCK ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT? I was just checking wikipedia for shits and giggles and you guys can't EVEN substantiate A GOD DAMN THING. On behalf of me and ALL MY FRIENDS, How about you go write about things you ACTUALLY KNOW ABOUT, LIKE UMMM MILEY CIRUS... YOU MAY NOW GO BACK TO FUCKING YOURSELVES SILLY --- 64.134.236.31 (talk) go fuck yourselves

Would anyone know where this song is from? It isn't listed in the discography, it was an MLB song from back in the day. Tarc (talk) 17:12, 20 June 2008 (UTC)
