Grunge Is Dead

Storia orale del grunge

Nella sua significativa parabola, tra il 1992 e il 1995, il movimento grunge ha "sfornato" alcuni fra i più grandi gruppi musicali di tutti i tempi, tra cui Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains e Soundgarden. In questo volume, Greg Prato compone una "storia orale" che raccoglie più di 130 interviste, componendo un eccezionale affresco di quella scena. Dalla prima intervista di Eddie Vedder in cui racconta la storia e le vicende umane della band a un animato dialogo fra i membri degli Alice in Chains, seguito dalle toccanti parole della madre di Layne Staley che ricorda la dipendenza da eroina e la morte del figlio. Ma "Grunge is dead" è anche un libro che raccoglie centinaia di informazioni sul background meno noto di questo genere musicale, dal movimento Riot Grrrl alle tante band considerate "minori" e spesso trascurate, come Mother Love Bone, Melvins, Screaming Trees, Mudhoney. Il libro riesce così a scavare più a fondo di qualsiasi altra storia del grunge, partendo dai primi anni Sessanta per ripercorrere e spiegare dall'interno la catena di eventi che hanno dato vita al movimento. Prefazioe di Massimo Padalino, postfazione di Luca Moccafighe.

Work Description

Weaving together the definitive story of the Seattle music scene through a series of interviews with the people who were there, this book contains more than 130 interviews, along with essential background information. Digging deeper than other accounts, this history begins in the early 1960s, tracing the chain of events that spawned some of the greatest rock acts of all time in the 1990s, including Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, and Soundgarden. First-ever interviews include Eddie Vedder's take on Pearl Jam’s history, a discussion among the members of Alice in Chains, and Layne Staley’s mother’s comments on her son's drug addiction and death. There is also plenty of information on less well-known aspects of the grunge scene, including the Riot Grrrl movement and the oft-overlooked but highly influential Seattle bands such as Mother Love Bone/Andy Wood, the Melvins, Screaming Trees, and Mudhoney. The end result is a comprehensive guide that includes a wealth of previously untold stories and offers a fresh and immediate approach to music history.
