In a relatively short time span, grunge music exploded out of its native Seattle and became the most dominant force of the early Õ90s. Groundbreaking bands like Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden and Alice in Chains introduced a generation of young rock fans to their grainy, hard-edged brand of modern metal. The rise to prominence for these and other grunge monsters is detailed here, in Guitar World Presents Nirvana and the Grunge Revolution. The first section of the book serves as a tribute to the late Nirvana guitarist Kurt Cobain. It features revealing interviews with Cobain, a behind-the-scenes look at NirvanaÕs legendary MTV "Unplugged" performance, and an insiderÕs guide to the making of their groundbreaking album, Nevermind. In addition, the book features interviews with many others who played key roles in the Seattle sound explosion, including Pearl JamÕs Stone Gossard and Mike McCready, Alice in ChainsÕ Jerry Cantrell and SoundgardenÕs Kim Thayil and Chris Cornell. 200 pages, 6" x 9"

Read "LAYNE STALEY: Angry Chair" instead,
By A Customer
This review is from: Guitar World Presents Nirvana and the Grunge Revolution (Paperback)
Need I mention how bad this book is? Just look at the ranking. If you like grunge and what to read a cool story...buy Layne's bio, "LAYNE STALEY: ANGRY CHAIR" and learn some valuable, interesting things. Please don't ever tell anyone you bought this Nirvana, Grunge book...that would be an embarassment.
