There's nothing in my life I'd change, "grunge" has played a big role in my teenage and early 20s years and has never truly left me and I'm very great full for it. Love it.
I love this...Susan and Kim...awesome to see...Susan you have so much class and so intelligent!! I love listening to you all!! and hearing about what was going on back then..

I remember finding a VHS copy of hype at a flea market around twenty years ago and I remember being blown away when I watched it, still today even after watching it probably a hundred times at least it still remains my favorite documentary and all the music that came out of Seattle during the late eighties and early nineties still remains my favorite music to listen to, I feel so much nostalgia when I listen to the music it's hard to put into words, I feel blessed to have experienced the music as it came out and it doe's make me sad that the nineties in my opinion was the last great decade for music😢🎵😢🎵😢
same here, I was older in the 90's--in my 30's but I was living in Seattle loved the music and used to see people around town, I listen to music from the 90's more than most music from the decade, the '70's, when I was a teenager.
@Von_Nightmare_ Luciferian She only withheld Chris's guitars because he wasn't paying the child support they agreed on. Susan Silver worked hard and Never screwed CC out of money. You are thinking about Vicky Karayiannis. Get your facts straight before commenting. Susan Silver is still respected by mostly everyone, ( including Chris Cornell's biological family to date) Too bad Chris left the woman who truly loved him.
So thankful for Doug's work on "Hype," and this mini-doc. Captures a hugely meaningful part of my life as a grunge kid. Here's to hoping it inspires the next generation of grunge kids out there.
God bless 'em all! I'm so happy to have grown up with these artists influencing me in such an immense way. What a time to be alive. I miss the ones we lost terribly, but am happy we still have a decent number of them.
I'm thankful that I was of an age that I got to see many of the bands talked about in the original documentary. Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains, Screaming Trees etc. etc.
How the hell did I miss this when it came out!?! Long live that era... doubt we'll ever see and hear anything quite as groundbreaking as what was happening during that time. x
there was a time, when Soundgarden were forgot about, but now... well. I think that's because AiC are intentionally running away from grunge references, because they're making something totally different now. and as far as I know they don't like to be called 'grunge band'.
Susan Silver! The beautiful, classy manager of Soundgarden & AIC. She and Chris we're the "power couple!" I wish their marriage had survived. They did such great things together and Lily is the greatest!! She WILL have a career in music...listen to her beautiful voice! Chris would be here today if he had stayed with Susan. She's the real deal..class!!!
It might help to look a bit more into some of what happened that was pretty awful towards the end of their relationship and how he had to take her to court in order to get HIS numerous guitars back along with other stuff - you never mess with a man's guitars.. Lovely Lily was a blessing. Chris did great things because Chris was a true authentic talent, totally true to himself musically and uniquely gifted. She was also quoted as saying that Chris got back with Soundgarden because he 'had nowhere else to go' and that his solo career was going nowhere - as someone who saw Higher Truth tour I would have to disagree. He did a lot of amazing things with Soundgarden and separate to. There was no classy reason to say those things.
I actually broke my nose at a Mudhoney concert (I think it was like ‘93 or ‘94) I was a huge Mudhoney fan & graduated high school in ‘92; was in art school from ‘92-‘94 so I was all up in the “grunge” era. Grew up more punk/ heavy metal- but when grunge hit, I was all for it - good times for me! (except breaking my nose)
@@EssenceOfChicagolandAreas They kinda weren’t that rowdy…. I was short at the time. I got elbowed accidentally by a tall girl in front if me- she never even knew she did it.
@@mikehuxford1556 I never forget about Alice or Layne. They were my favs… my sister’s too. I don’t know how you could have any kind of documentary like this & not have em in there.
If history repeats itself, we are due for another one of these right now. But there's no anger, no backlash directed towards commercial rap and pop. People are unwilling to rise against the mainstream, which worries me
We're due for a new rock scene to RISE!!!! To me there are bands around that have a grunge mentality rooted in their music. With a sludgey, stoner, doomy style sound. Some are kinda commercial.. but awesome rock/metal acts get snubbed for stuff thats not even as advertised or labeled!!!! Music is faceless & has been without an identity for a while now..... SAD
Most of the reason is that people who play rock music are uncreative and/or want to just do what the classics already did. What I mean is that they're not creating anything new, they're just trying to relive/recreate the past. None of the younger generation that plays rock music even seem capable of making something creative and memorable. Mainstream rap and pop aren't totally to blame for the supposed "death" of rock.
Alice in Chains was a glam metal band that changed their sound and rode the grunge wave. They were super talented and made some great songs, but didn't innovate anything and don't fit into this from any perspective other than for post Nevermind people.
I remember vaguely that... they even said on the commentaries of the original Hype DVD that AIC was on a different side of the scene, which is why they never really mentioned.
@@notation254 AIC did a tour with metal bands, hung out with metal bands, had a decent sized hit in 1990, etc. They actually pre-date the Grunge scene and their image and fan base didn't necessarily over-lap with Pearl Jam, Sound garden, or Nirvana.
Great documentary and Endino is right- Seattle was the last city specific music scene. Britpop followed but that was an entire country, I loved that scene, too
thanks! yesterday watched hype! and it's20 years since i watched it on VHS from a local library.. i was eleven at the time.. so now i got some insight maybe :D
The scene didn't die the bands just got old and like every scene you are lucky as a band to keep your crowds through your 3rd album let alone 5 to 10 albums later. Fans move on to new bands and new sounds. The Divorce and Deathcab for Cutie became the new scene in Seattle, essentially Emo/Rock is what the scene became and we still had great bands come out of Seattle and burst on to the national scene. Just not at the Nirvana level.
That movie really depressed me when it came out , but the remnants of the rock music scene now are far more depressing - to hell with soulless corporate America!
Somewhat, I mean look at the music now and the late 80s. The radio keeps on shoving pop and rap music in our throats. There are a bunch of underground bands, but are "soft."
@The Internet Killed Music To add we're in a very different economic climate. Back then if a record sold 40,000 copies , a musician could ditch their day job and go on tour. These days if you sell 400,000 you might be able to pay your rent.
Hey, both AIC and Soundgarden make a lot of songs in the style of doom metal, harcore punk, heavy blues (Sabbath type) and acoustic songs also Nirvana has a lot of types of songs like that also and in that time AIC were well vinculate with both scenes metal and grunge because fuckin grunge has also punk, metal, and acoustic intentioned songs and for being from Seattle. Listen to this songs for understand: Soundgarden - Beyond the wheel, AIC - Love hate love, Soundgarden Power trip, AIC-Confusion, Soundgarden-Circle of power, Nirvana-School, Nirvana Negative creep, Nirvana Blew . Alice in chains were friends in the scene with Soundgarden Pearl jam and a lot of band of that scene in Seattle since lately 80's.
The scene.....it's just a bit older, it's still alive and well.....at least to me it is. These artists are still playin it the way they always have played it....just ask Buzz Osborne
Yep, she and Cornell were married. She also managed Alice in Chains. I've heard a number of people talk badly about her. Of course I can't speak to whether she's a nice person or not - I don't know her. But I still think that she's a badass for managing two huge and heavy bands for so long. Gotta admire her for that, as I'm pretty sure women were way underrepresented in that capacity in the music industry at that point.
Mudhoney may not have realized their dream to play Letterman, but they did do a kickass version of Judgement, Rage, Retribution, & Thyme on Conan in 1995.
I’m currently learning to play guitar and I’d do anything to go to Seattle and be in a band someday(something like a grunge thrash metal bands)like thank slayer meets Alice In Chains
I love this update, but I’m deeply disappointed they didn’t cover Layne Statley of Alice In Chains. He was the frontman of me of the Big Four of Grunge. I wish the moviemakers could make an expanded documentary that includes Layne and Chris. Rest In Peace to the both of them.
Vinyl is horrible too and makes no sense at all nowadays. A good tape is able to sound as good or even better than vinyl but we already have superior digital formats like FLAC. The rest is just nostalgia bullshit
after some research it rather turns out that cassettes are superior to vinyl, actually. no one really bought the actual good tapes, made out of metal and with high quality tape materials because they cost too much money, and you know how analog stuff is..it's only as good as what you listen it on. but vinyl is good for one thing..it doesn't work with overly compressed modern production, so in order to do a vinyl release you gotta produce things better. it's probably part of the reason everyone thinks it's so good. also a reason why not everyone releases vinyl records nowadays. and no matter how much i'd hate to admit, digital is superior to analog, it really is. but we love to hold on to the tactile feeling of analog things and the flaws it has.
My friend was an accountant for SubPop after she split with Chris Cornell and they dated for a while starting in late '02 and well into '03. He said she is the very definition of a "lady in the streets and a freak in the streets." I know guys can exaggerate but he's always been a straight shooter. He said her thing was "anything goes" so long as there was no cheating. She called herself a "try-sexual"; water sports, ATM, exhibitionism, rimming, toys, watching porn together. They broke up but stayed friends and she helped him score a job as a staff accountant at Gold Mountain.
The one cool thing about grunge was as a kid I was always wondering what other bands sounded like. I went from listening to Pearl Jam to diving into the Wipers, Joy Division, Hazel, Dinosaur Jr. I mean there were bands out there that were just as great if not better that I could have been listening to. And that was grunge for me.
So it’s like all these meteorites hitting earth the last few years... Bowie, prince, Weiland, ok everything’s still ok, ok then the big one hits in may 2017 and wipes out the remaining dinosaurs. Game over dude. Someone get dave grohl a rocking chair.
I understand why Alice in Chains wasn't mentioned at all. To my ears they were definitely Sabbath influenced heavy/doom metal. Early Soundgarden and the Melvins are metal as well but with punk elements too. But they associated with Sub Pop. AiC never associated with Sub Pop and neither Jerry Cantrell nor Layne, Sean for that matter didn't like the term 'grunge'. I don't like it either. I mean it just seemed to me as a marketing catchphrase to pigeonhole the Seattle scene. Nothing else.
I can feel the sadness in Kim's eyes while Susan talks about Chris
There's nothing in my life I'd change, "grunge" has played a big role in my teenage and early 20s years and has never truly left me and I'm very great full for it. Love it.
Me too ❤️
Grunge will never be dead or gone. I'm 45 and experienced grunge from 1991 til today and still feel it just as strong as day one
You're not really the generation

I still have my copy. I think I found mine at a record store around ‘94, maybe ‘96.
Susan Silver has always been such a class act. I really admire her.
Besides her dry snitchin on Kurt and Cuntney love to Vanity Fair.

Alex Childress They were a metal band that came out in the 90s. Nothing grunge, underground or 80s about them
Alex Childress AIC? may be the best out of that whole scene.
Alex Childress I know Mad Seasons 1 album is the best album fr that scene. Makes sense, blended Trees/PJam/Chains
I assume they aren't a part of simply because they didn't want to be.

And it doesn't have to. It's not worth it. I'd rather have good music continue with healthy people, than have it die with sick people.

Ha! You can't lie to me! It's been 2 years...
No Layne and AIC!? Wtf ppl?
Susan Silver made an AIC reference at least (yeah not the group with Layne in it but still.)
because they were never grunge. they were metal that got bunched up with the Seattle grunge scene.

What about Stone Temple Pilots?
Really talking about Seattle. STP was San Diego outsiders. Better than most of Seattle in my opinion but understandable not included

I second that recommendation.

So in Seattle only the men age? Lulu and Susan look exactly the same.
RIP Mark Lanegan
RIP Kurt Cobain, Chris Cornell, and Layne Staley 😞
When the hell was TAD on a major?
Fakename70 They signed to Warner Bros. In 1993.
LOL!
the melvins are still going strong tho
I understand why Alice in Chains wasn't mentioned at all. To my ears they were definitely Sabbath influenced heavy/doom metal. Early Soundgarden and the Melvins are metal as well but with punk elements too. But they associated with Sub Pop. AiC never associated with Sub Pop and neither Jerry Cantrell nor Layne, Sean for that matter didn't like the term 'grunge'. I don't like it either. I mean it just seemed to me as a marketing catchphrase to pigeonhole the Seattle scene. Nothing else.
Metal?...umm no..smh
Get over yourself.
It's not 1993. Ed's voice was fucking gold in 1993 BTW. GOLD
Susan mentions them at the end Kim says they're going to see them now
