Man:
when you've been

through periods

Where you've had

keyboard players

With 50,000 pounds worth

of kit onstage,

82 keyboards

and 95 samplers, you know,

Uh...

After a while,

you just go, "hang on.

"This is like eating

too much food at one sitting.

"There's too much sound.

It's too many colors.

"It's--It's all got

poncey and posey.

"Um...let's go

and see some bands

Where they

just bash it out."

eat my dump

tell me if you love me

eat my dump

help me

smell my pie

Some bands get onstage,

and they're basically...

Entertainers. They have--

You know, they have a shtick.

They are giving you a show.

Some bands get up there

and they rock.

And you can tell the difference.

That's why seattle bands

tend to be

A little bit inconsistent

live, I think,

Is because most of them

aren't really up there

To be entertainers.

They're up there to rock out.

And their best shows are when

they're having the most fun,

Not when they necessarily

have their act down,

Because maybe

they don't have an act.

If it's connecting with

the audience right,

I get chills.

I mean, I can just--

I finish a song,

and it feels right,

And I can just tell it's

gonna start going fine.

Man, I get chills.

And they're rockin',

and f*** yeah, let's go.

you're putting on me

and dealing with society

dd

the forces are close

they're over the line

i got a freaky feeling

in my soul

nerve going

out of control

nowhere to turn,

nowhere to hide

i got a train driving

through my head

D:

fever burning in my bed d

my telephone rings

somebody dead

on the line

i say 54/40 or fight

54/40 or fight

D:

54, 54, 54/40 or fight d

all right

all right

let's go

let's go

D:

you're watching it drop d

Ddhad it to here

D:

they're taking him home d

gotta get away

gotta get away

had it to here

gotta get away

gotta get away

There's a million people

out there that could do

What i'm doing--

As far as producing,

Recording,

anything like that,

A lot better

than i'm doing,

Have better equipment.

But still, it's, like,

The only way you get

good at anything

Is to be doing it

all the time.

So, this is a lifetime

chore for me.

Basically, it's just

to have complete control

Over everything.

To be able to do it

the way you wanna do it.

Have it come out

the right way,

And to not really...

Have anybody that can tell

you what the hell to do,

Where you can play, how you

can look, how you can dress.

What songs to record,

which ones not to.

Man:
it keeps it

on a personal level.

It keeps it where

rock and roll-Type things

Really should be.

It's very much

just happening...

Right there. It's not

happening in somebody's...

Big offices or in somebody's

big bank accounts or anything.

It's...

It's really exciting for

the people that are doing it.

some say,

"dude, just forget her

"in a world of your own d

d

"you let it make

every day pathetic

you're in need of a cure."

She is one

you'll survive a vegetable

the meat's diseased

and she said so

i won't try

to persuade you anymore

i won't try

to persuade you anymore

a long time ago

when I lost my way

hey

hey

Man:
popllama was

a big influence.

Conrad can do it,

sub pop can do it.

We wanted to do our own

record--Well, hell.

If these guys can do it,

We've seen these guys so drunk

they can't stand up.

You know?

They can't drive a car,

So--And they can do this,

so we can do that.

Calvin johnson:
that's just

a given, I think,

With people here.

They don't sit around

Going, "oh, nothing

ever happens here.

Nothing ever goes on here."

You know,

By the time the kid's

out of high school,

He's already been in a band,

put out a couple fanzines,

You know,

recorded a few records.

Started a label,

did a radio show.

And that was the whole lesson we

learned when we moved up here.

Like, you just do it. Heh.

We moved up here

And we saw other bands,

you know, no different than us.

Just putting out records.

All you really need

to do that

Is some magnetic tape

and a microphone.

And--And that's really

all you need,

And then,

you know, maybe--

Just maybe--

Some bad reverb.

And they smell good.

Records just smell good.

There's nothing like

cracking that cellophane

And pulling that record out.

It just smells great.

Ddow

Ddow

ooh

Man:
when deep six

first came out,

It was chronicling

something

That was suddenly

going on, I guess.

It was by a fluke

of providence.

Kind of a, uh--

The initial document of...

What later turned in

to be a pretty big scene.

I think we all became aware

That there was a certain

regional sound developing.

And nobody had

a name for it.

[Playing punk guitar]

[Playing punk guitar]

That's punk rock, and...

One day, they just sort of

started going, um...

[Playing grunge guitar]

[Playing grunge guitar]

And that was grunge.

And that was grunge.

The most noisy...

Most absurd...

Heaviest thing

that was going.

Heaviest thing

that was going.

Jack endino:
yeah,

we know this is heavy rock,

And heavy rock is kinda stupid,

but it's fun anyways.

It's when you had a band like

the melvins doing kiss covers.

It was all in fun.

It was, like,

"We know this is that this

is the cheesiest thing

We could possibly do.

We gotta do it."

It's just ridiculousness,

complete ridiculousness.

What can we get away

with next, you know?

looking for one

like you were

holding like so long ago

dd

like a hotel

like a fish store

my world war tissue

wah

wah

Bands like green river,

basically.

They were, sort of,

the definitive grunge band.

It was a euphemism

for, just, extremes--

Extremes of anything.

And a lot of people say that

it's a throwback to metal.

Heavy metal is part of it.

It was one influence.

Punk rock was one influence.

Basically, anything loud,

And crushing and extreme

was an influence.

We'd all been in bands

that were more controlled,

And...more dynamic,

you know, and...

You know--More--Better--

Better bands, actually.

And we just--Well,

our whole thing was

We just wanted to get away

from all structure

And just be chaotic,

and not worry about that.

It was a kind of

joyful release.

It's taken rock

right back to its basics,

Which is go out there

and make a hell of a noise.

And make sure you play music

your parents don't like.

i can't wait

life's too short for all

the pennies that wait

First thing, actually,

Was when we were doing

the first Soundgarden single,

And we were doing a song

callednothing to say,

Which was just...

At the time, just seemed

amazingly heavy.
