First big hit was "Welcome to Paradise" in 1992. Trying initially to follow a quirky Nirvana mold in the 1990s hippy-grunge. Also like a grungy Bon-Jovi with unintelligible lyrics, repeated riffs, and ear worm refrains. Not quote gunge. Not quite pop. Not quite punk. |

It's something unpredictable, but in the end is right.

Also like a grungy Bon-Jovi with unintelligible lyrics, repeated riffs, and ear worm refrains. Not quote gunge. Not quite pop. Not quite punk. They won their "punk" stripes by starting at 924 Gilman in Berkeley back in the late 80's and early 90's. I was a frequent attendee at many of their early shows. We couldn't stand them, they were way too "happy" than most of the other Gilman bands. But we always went to their shows anyway because we knew there would be chicks there. (Most punk shows were sausage festivals) As far as the Rock N Roll HOF goes... who the fuck cares? The RnR HoF is a joke. Always has been. |

Nirvana was a completely different scene, different lineage. Not a grunge band. You were closer with the Bon Jovi comparison - they were just a bunch of kids trying to play pop metal and failing, really. The sound of that became what they were. |

I stand corrected on the lineage. I associated them because they hit my ears around the same time in my college years.

Gilman was kind of DIY, and I'm pretty sure when Nirvana came through (before Nevermind) they played the bigger clubs - the mainstream clubs. Grunge was close enough to metal. The Bay Area clubs, at least initially, weren't in on the new punk - Bad Religion, NOFX, The Offspring, Rancid (Op Ivy) - all those bands could only play Gilman or the Berkeley Square, until the promoters realized sometime around when "Smells Like Teen Spirit" got big that "punk" could sell. But grunge is a completely different branch on the RnR family tree, Imo |

Were you playing guitar at any of those places? |

We'd go to Gilman to steal ideas get inspired. |
