Hype! Page #9

Really successful,

do heroin.

But, what I see is,

i saw people

Who were making

really good music

Suddenly have, like,

This overwhelming

need for money.

Susan silver:
it's just

f***ing heartbreaking

To see how disillusioned

people get,

To where they--

That escape

is so sought after.

Jack endino:
I think

the first hint of it

Was when andy wood died.

When you started thinking,

this is really sad

Because this guy had

a great future in front of him.

He was a really wonderful guy.

Funniest guy. The only--

The only rock 'n' roll

stand-Up comic in seattle

Was andy wood.

And, uh, we thought,

Man, you know, they haven't

even become stars yet

And already he's a casualty.

And already he's a casualty.

There's kurt

on new year's day, '93.

Um, this was the shoot

For the cover

ofthe advocate.

And, uh, I really liked

this photo of kurt.

We were just--

We were just talking

And I was just

picking the camera up

Occasionally and--

And photographing him.

It's rare to see a picture

where he's emoting

Or doing something

with his hands

Other than

in his pocket.

And I really

like this one.

And I really

like this one.

the river rise...

Symbolically, perhaps,

it represented

The death of something.

I mean, I know when--

I was--It affected me

in such a way

That I was seriously

tempted to give up everything

And go be a farmer

or something.

It was just--It was

so disillusioning to me.

It was--It was hard.

I didn't take it well.

'cause I could fall

like a tear

nothing else I can do

nothing else I can do

but i'm not alone

nothing's beside me

all I see is

the others blinded

but I could fall

as if I was young

ooh, with a lifetime

to think of you

ooh, with a lifetime

to think of you

Eddie vedder:

if all this influence

That this part

of the country has

In this musical scene has--

If it doesn't

do anything with it,

That would be the tragedy.

If it doesn't do

something with it,

Like make some kind

of change

Or make some kind

of difference,

This group of people

who feels this certain way,

This group of people who,

like, thinks these things

That the underdogs

we've all met

And lived with think--

If they finally

get to the forefront

And nothing comes of it,

That--That would be

the tragedy.

That--That would be

the tragedy.

Eddie vedder:

restless soul

enjoy your youth

enjoy your youth

like muhammad

hits the truth

hits the truth

i can't escape

from the common rule

i can't escape

from the common rule

if you hate something

don't you do it, too?

don't you do it, too?

this is not for you

this is not for you

this is not for you

oh, never was for you

you

you

Art chantry:

to actually be this close

To a pop culture explosion

has been really fascinating.

I mean, all of a sudden,

you can understand

What happened in

san francisco in '66 and '67.

You can understand

what happened in england

During the punk thing.

And--And during

the mersey beat era.

And the subsequent stuff

that happened in london.

I mean, all of a sudden,

you can see

How ridiculous

the whole goddamn thing is.

I mean, it's utterly absurd.

I mean... [metal scraping]

Susie tennant:
it's so funny

that they call it

"The seattle scene"

Because it all grew

out of the region.

Everybody doing what they loved

because they love it.

And it doesn't matter

if they're from bellingham,

Portland, olympia.

You had people

who were in bands

Because they want

to be in bands,

Who started record labels

Because they liked

their friends' bands

And they wanted

to put out a record.

Fanzines because no one

was covering

The kind of music

that they heard.

And all this was allowed to grow

without any other force

Coming in

and disturbing that.

Coming in

and disturbing that.

Eddie vedder:

all that's sacred

comes from youth

comes from youth

dedication

naive and true

naive and true

Ddwith no power

nothing to do

nothing to do

i still remember

Ddwhy don't you?

don't you?

this is not for you

this is not for you

this is not for you

this is not for you

this is not for you

this is not for you

oh, never was for you

f*** you,

this is not for you

oh, never was for you

yeah

yeah

Charles peterson: I didn't

think i'd be making a living

At doing this.

I mean, I had no idea

that these bands

Were going to become so--

So popular, so famous.

I would have taken a lot

more photographs of them

If I had known.

[Laughs]

Our first u.S. Tour was

a total failure, you know?

We didn't make

more than 90 bucks

At any show

in the whole u.S.

It's like, they hated us

everywhere we went.

But we're doing basically

the same thing

We were doing in '85,

and now people like us.

I don't know why!

Let me put things

in perspective for you.

5 years ago,

This is a sleepy little

coastal fishing village.

Now, could we have

the camera pan out

To the skyline, here?

This kind of

economic development

Is directly related

to what john and I

Have done

to promote seattle.

Nils bernstein:

that's what's become

Of the great punk

rock party house

Of the mid-Eighties.

[Laughs]

it's so harsh.

It used to be this

tiny little shack,

Like, set way back

in these terrible,

Like, big weeds

in the middle of

This--These

beautiful homes.

And now--Look, it is

a beautiful home.

[Laughs]

I would love to,

In about 20 years

from now,

Be playing in, like,

some kind of, like,

Super-Loungey

soul band

With a horn section

Or something

like that.

We'll probably

all be playing

In r&b bands

in pioneer square.

Probably the same r&b band

onpioneer square.

Dd

[imitating blues singer]

l'il sister, don't you--

Wow! What did I do right

in a past life or whatever

That I get to do this

with my 3 really good friends?

I get to be in a band and

make music with these people.

It's a really

incredible experience.

We just play music

when we--When we can

And do shows and record

when we have songs.

And every now and then

we find out

Seattle got really famous.

And we didn't.

And that's not too bad.

That's ok.

And that's not too bad.

That's ok.

oh, yeah

oh, yeah

oh, yeah

oh, yeah

oh, yeah

it's another

fine year end

my own top 10

and all you're

trying to be

i can't deny

your uselessness

but what'd you

in our dark corner

and try to dig us up
