THE BROWNS BOARD

Recommended Posts

Soundgarden was a grunge band from Seattle no? I never really got into the grunge thing. Did this group have any recognizable hit tunes? Sorry, I just don't know.

 

Also....is this like a thing for singers of Grunge bands from Seattle...to off themselves? I mean, what is it, the constant rain up there or what.

Grunge is perhaps my favorite genre of Rock, and its sad to see so many of these front men die too young.

 

Kurt Cobain

Layne Staley

Scott Weiland

Chris Cornell

 

I hope guys like Eddie Vedder and Billy Corgan live long prosperous lives.

And this beautiful theme song....

 

Through early morning fog I see

visions of the things to be

the pains that are withheld for me

I realize and I can see...

[REFRAIN]:

that suicide is painless

it brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

I try to find a way to make

all our little joys relate

without that ever-present hate

but now I know that it's too late, and...

[REFRAIN]

The game of life is hard to play

I'm gonna lose it anyway

The losing card I'll someday lay

so this is all I have to say.

[REFRAIN]

The only way to win is cheat

And lay it down before I'm beat

and to another give my seat

for that's the only painless feat.

[REFRAIN]

The sword of time will pierce our skins

It doesn't hurt when it begins

But as it works its way on in

The pain grows stronger...watch it grin, but...

[REFRAIN]

A brave man once requested me

to answer questions that are key

is it to be or not to be

and I replied 'oh why ask me?'

[REFRAIN]

'Cause suicide is painless

it brings on many changes

and I can take or leave it if I please.

Not to make light of the serious nature of any of the grunge performers but I would imagine that Eddie Vedder is mostly playing a character rather than an actual tortured junkie like Kurt Cobain. Or Jim Morrison for that matter.

Yeah you are imagining it. Vedder's not playing any character and has never played the junkie role.

I never thought Vedder was playing a character. Just because most of his fellow lead singers of grunge have died young, doesn't mean he is like them.

 

You could look at Lane Stanley, or Kurt Cobain, and tell they had problems. Vedder never had that look. IMO
