    Pearl Jam is a corporate band. When you find a singer from San Diego, they don’t compare to the real Grunge bands from Seattle.

    Side note that has nothing to do with this thread… I respect Scott Weiland because unlike Cobain and Staley, he banged speedballs and always wanted to take the stage. He lived for being a star and wasn’t reluctant like Cobain and Staley. He was a real rocker. Not saying he’s better than Cobain or Staley because he’s not (stage wise he has a very good argument), but he was much more mentally tough than either.

    He’s very under appreciated as a stage presence. It was bullshit that the critics compared them to any of the Seattle bands

    That was a label thing and wanting to sell records because Pearl Jam was the hottest band in the world at the time.

    The STP records after Core are nothing like Pearl Jam

    I never bought the thought that Cobain was a reluctant star

    At one point I would agree. Same with Staley. The drugs got to them. Kurt being anti charismatic was what made him charismatic and special. Weird time in the world. I don’t think there will ever be a superstar like him again.

    Cobain and Staley basically had to be begged to take the stage. Weiland had tours cancelled, but it was because his bandmates and label were too concerned about him staying alive. He was still touring until death.

    Staley got too sick to go on stage. He looked and sounded like death warmed over for their unplugged show.
