I don’t care what anyone says, the song Seventeen is a great tune.

We went fishing with a guy one time that said he liked Winger - so we called him Stewart for the rest of the trip. He didn't seem to find it as funny as we did.

Killing bands like Winger, Poison and Cinderella was grunge's greatest gift to mankind. Think about it - you can go see Winger, or you can go see Alice in Chains. You can go see Poison or you can go see Soundgarden. You can go see Cinderella or you can go see Nirvana. You can go see Warrant, or you can go see Mother Love Bone. Hair metal better than grunge? Get the fuck out of here.

Grunge's only issue was people thinking any band in a flannel shirt was a grunge band, and record companies trying to capitalize on it.

Been out of my grunge phase for awhile. I play shit out and then take a break from it for a couple of years. Hair metal sucks tho.

You're comparing grunge's starters to hair metal's second stringers

I like AIC and songs here and there from the other big bands. My biggest issue is it's depressing music. Life sucks enough as it is.

I remember my grunge phase. I also remember the pop radio station in Seattle changed format to grunge after cobain sucked on a shotgun.

I don’t really feel depressed listening to it. Maybe down in a hole or a few others, but I get kind of fired up if I hear 90% of the songs on Dirt.

It's not depressing to me. It's sentimental and takes to back to my youth. Also makes me proud of where I grew up.

I don't know if grunge has ever put me in a bad mood.

ATBS, Cinderella was a better than average hair band.

Grunge tried to kill the metal, hahahahaha
They failed, as they were thrown to the ground
Aargh! yeah
No one can destroy the metal
The metal will strike you down with a vicious blow
We are the vanquished foes of the metal
We tried to win for why we do not know

Hair metal...I’m gone take that means big hair of the 80’s metal?
