You're rich, have access to cuban cigars, and you smoke cigarettes?
Damn.

That's like owning a cattle ranch and eating out at McDonald's every day.

I like McDonald's too, nothing I like better for breakfast than an Egg McMuffin with a McDonald's coffee at the drve thru

it's 1979 world forever for me

[DBTrek]

Surprised you didn't go Smashing Pumpkins - 1979 on that one.

Smashing Pumpkins is not 1979 to me, Pink Floyd ruled back in 1979

I didn't hear any Smashing Pumpkins till the Grunge 90's

but I was more into Pearl Jam, I even got a chance to meet Eddie Vedder, and he was as cool as I expect he would be

[DBTrek]

Got to see both Pearl Jam and Chris Cornell live, but didn't meet them personally.
Great shows tho.

I didn't actually see the live show, because I was working security backstage

I could hear the show, but never saw it

I saw Chris Cornell, but never got close enough to talk to him

I was a Pearl Jam fan, so I asked to be assigned to watch the Peal Jam trailers

hence how I met Vedder, although as you might expect, he didn't talk much, he was quiet & cool, like Grunge Steve McQueen

[Smitty-48]

tell you the only security issue we had, was girls trying to mob Eddie Vedder

nobody cared about the rest of the band, they were ignored, even Stone Gossard

it was all about Vedder, and it was just a mob of young girls trying to break through the barriers to get next to him

[DBTrek]

Well ... Vedder is the stand-out of the band. Gossard and McCready are good - but it's not like you could never find another guitarist that could play like them.
Eddie introduced the yarl into grunge, and he's been imitated a thousand times since.
But no one does it as well as him.
So you couldn't really swap Vedder out of the band and still have Pearl Jam.
You could swap Kim Thayil or Dean DeLeo in for the guitar work tho, I reckon.

[Smitty-48]

in terms of Chris Cornell, I prefer Audioslave to Soundgarden

I was never a big Soundgarden fan, but Audioslave is the bomb

they were all honestly pretty cool laid back guys

they knew they were rock stars, they were enjoying it, but they were pretty down to earth

they basically said it was a job and they were trying to make some money while it lasted
