I've got two great Chris Cornell vids I took from concerts uploaded to my youtube channel. If anyone can tell me how to post them here without doxing myself, I will.

Pearl Jam has like 7-10 good songs and their 40% of their fan base are fat, pasty white dudes with beards. The over the top lovefest of grunge 30 years later is pretty pathetic.
The one criticism I have with grunge ins that none of the singers are actually good live frontmen. None of them really put on an show.
Disagree on Staley, Cornell, Cobain and Weiland. None are a mcjagger or David Lee Roth type, but given their sound that would have been really weird if they were.
Weiland was the best frontman of his era. STP isn’t grunge and it’s always been stupid to lump them in.
Cobain, Staley, and Cornell could have been a lot better. I’ve watched their live shows and they are lacking at times as frontmen. The music is good, the show is boring.
Right. That's why Nirvana and Alice unplugged smashed all the previous unpluggeds and went platinum and gold.

Encore. Who else can pull this off, like Cornell?
Even if the song is a little gay, he earns the allowance.
Next level. Without a Doubt.

Jimi was there first. People forget that.
Yeah. Boring. Right. Jesus.
And such a smart and cool dude that Dick Cavett booked him.
Probably knocked down as many racial divides and attitudes as MLK, tbh.
