and uh so now what happens i know they're in the middle of a tour
you know you know what they do now is they just find some fucking guy on on the
internet

fucking go up there and be
like a rock star like i i i i've never seen a band like that i've never gone to
see a band like that
although i heard the guy from allison chains fucking murders it so who knows um
i don't know how do you get out of this see that's why i fucking hate talking
about sad shit like that
um
somewhere in all that i saw a fucking way out of this and now i i don't know
what the fuck it is
so anyways uh plowing ahead
just fucking plowing ahead here oh i know i was gonna say you know what i went
back and i downloaded
skid rose
slave to the grind
and that album that album marked the end
of my musical youth
that album came out in like the summer of like 91
and then in september
fucking
you know
all of a sudden nirvana's album came out
and then that was just it
all of my bands
got wiped the fuck off at mtv
you know
and um
so i went back and i downloaded uh slave to the grind
monkey business and all that which then made me go
watch uh
you know a bunch of skid row fucking
videos
and there's a video man
you gotta see this shit
it's from 1991
i believe 91 or 92
it's skid row on snl
and sebastian buck
and the whole band
just fucking
murdering
monkey business
and
i don't know man
to me that was like the
for me i just feel like
i'm doing it now
i've said it so much
that i actually say for me now
i say for me and to me
because i keep doing it
it's like when i
me and nia used to make fun of this guy
he said yeah you liked it that
you liked it did that
and i still i kept
and we just kept doing it to each other
and i was in a meeting one time
pitching a show
and i was talking about a comic that i liked
and i said yeah
i saw it special
yeah i liked it did that
i and i went oh my god
and it was actually like did
and we started going like did it
to make it even more ridiculous
and i literally said like did it
and i saw the person's face
like look at me like
like does he have a stutter
i can't put this guy on fucking camera
um
anyways
so i'm watching this fucking video
and and
it was the end
of like aggressive
fun fucking bands
like they were just fucking killing it
just
it
they were like rock stars
and they were enjoying it
before the grunge came in
and everyone's like
i wish i was like you
easily amused
i always hated that fucking line
saying you don't fucking know me
you condescending cunt
i'm not easily amused
i don't find what the fuck
you're trying to suggest about me
even remotely amusing
can somebody please make a video of that
kurt cobain singing that line
and then you cut to joe pesci
so what i'm like a clown
i like
i amuse you
um
anyways yeah
and then all the sad guys came in
kurt cobain
fucking uh
uh
who's the pearl jam guy
eddie vetter
that fucking interview
that kurt loader does with them
and he's literally like
he looks like superman
sitting next to fucking kryptonite
like that's how much he's like
folded over himself
like he didn't want to answer
any of the questions
like he was literally having
a physical reaction
to somebody asking him questions
like hey man
you're selling a bunch of albums
that's got to feel good right
and he was like
i don't even know how to fucking
you know what i mean
all of a sudden he had like
the fucking posture of fiona apple
there were a bunch of fragile people
but in the middle of all of that
in the middle of all of that
was fucking chris cornell
still belting it out
like a fucking
i don't know
my version of what a rock star is
didn't go out there
wearing a granny sweater
trying to act like he was
somebody in the crowd
it's like no
you're better than me
be better than me
i don't want to see me
up there
be a fucking god
um
i don't know
and i just thought
chris cornell had the goods
when it came to that
and uh
it made me go
i don't know
i just been listening to a lot of music
right around that
that era
and i've always known
i make fun of nirvana
i know they're a great band and shit
i know they are
i just
it's just
fun
they're fun to make fun of
because everyone's always like
and then
when that album came out
i knew
that music as i knew it
had now changed
which is complete horse shit
there was a few people that knew it
most of us didn't
like who's this new band
and then all of a sudden
there was this other new band
and then it was just like
all of a sudden
mtv decided
that they were gonna just
like this was the new shit
and they just started spooning it
into our mouths
and we fucking ate it
i mean that's basically what happened
i was more than willing
to watch all those same bands
i had been listening to
keep continue to put out albums
i didn't have a fucking problem
you know what it was
mtv was done with me
and uh that was the first time
i really felt old
i was 23 years old
and i was just like
yeah that's
they don't
i'm done
as far in their head
i'm already married
with two fucking kids
and they can't squeeze a dime
out of my pockets
so fuck this guy
right
and then
it was smashing pumpkins
you know
i don't know
but sound garden
was always one
where i didn't have to
make the leap
of like
okay this is this new shit
this kind of sounds
a little different
like i absolutely
fucking love that band
love all the odd time stuff
i love all of that shit
and it's just a fucking shame
it's a fucking shame
but you know something
if you want to watch
something uplifting
i'm gonna post
um skid row
with sebastian bach
absolutely fucking
murdering monkey business
and uh
i love to in the end
when he
after he just
fucking destroys
one of the greatest
live voices
underrated
of all fucking time
then he was like
funny in the end
after like doing
those high
fucking
heavy metal screams
all the way down
to the growl
and then in the end
he's just like
oh thank you very much
thank you
he just does like
this weird voice
that was awesome
so anyways
rest in peace
chris cornell
and um
i don't know
i don't know
what else to say
i'm so fucking sick
of having to say that
but i guess
that's a part
of getting old
and once again
rest in peace
to the great
chris cornell
