It’s not that the lyrics were so hyper intelligent we couldn’t grasp them. We would both sit at opposite ends of this thing, sitting maybe 30 feet across from each other…Īnd we would sing our asses off, our voices echoing throughout this large empty cement garage.Īnd you don’t know this really unless you went through it as it was coming out…īut most of us didn’t know what the fuck Eddie Vedder was talking about. We would meet up at like 11 at night, smoke some weed and go to this parking garage by our house that emptied at 6pm. ![]() This was completely unlike any other popular music I’d been exposed to before.Īnd we are talking real 1992 grunge living here, we were 18… That these new bands, they were part of a community. Hearing that, I remember, was intriguing to me. Why the hell haven’t the done a second Temple album? “No, it’s on this other album that they all got together and made called “ Temple Of The Dog“ “You know that’s Eddie Vedder, lead singer of Pearl Jam singing blacking vocals….and Chris Cornell from Soundgarden.” That was undoubtedly strong and made me want to scream my face off. ![]() I heard it when I heard the album for the first time all the way through. They would only release live performances of their singles.īecause the alt music scene was beginning to take hold, it was hard to know at first if they were for real or not.īut I wasn’t sold on the rest of the stampede. They were all talking about the mysterious lead singer and this new angst driven (I hate writing that) sound. ![]() I need to get to know them inside and out.Īll these people began to talk about them and I’m just fucking weary of popular “Fad” shit like that. It takes me a while to get used to new things. It took a while because I’m stubborn, very stubborn.Īnd at that age I wasn’t open minded at all…not that I am now. Now, I post this because it wasn’t until I saw this performance that I became a die hard fan.
