DESCRIPTION:
This video is the history, in pictures and music, of a special part the Seattle "grunge" music scene from 1984-1999. It highlights Malfunkshun, Soundgarden, Mother Love Bone, Temple Of The Dog and Pearl Jam.
And of course the guitar genius who created this incredible song, James Marshall Hendrix!
Andrew Wood's death in 1990 was the end of Mother Love Bone, and was the driving force behind the formation of Temple Of The Dog in 1991. Chris Cornell's heartfelt tribute to his friend, the band featured members of both Mother Love Bone and Soundgarden. During this same time, the remaining members of Mother Love Bone were reforming as two different bands... Bruce Fairweather and Greg Gilmore joined Blind Horse (check out the video for "Blind Horse - Mystery"), and Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard formed Mookie Blaylock (later renaming themselves Pearl Jam). They brought new members lead guitar player Mike McCready and vocalist Eddie Vedder to the Temple Of The Dog sessions, and along with Soundgarden drummer Matt Cameron a truly unique, one-time band and cd was created. Temple Of The Dog performed an early show at The Off Ramp in Seattle (check out the youtube vids), at Lallapalooza 92 ("Hunger Strike" and "Reach Down") and on various special occasions, but do not tour as a band.
This great cover of 'Hey Baby (New Rising Sun)' was released on "Stone Free : A Tribute To Jimi Hendrix" in 1993 by four members of Temple Of The Dog, calling themselves M.A.C.C. It also shows the infulence that another Seattle native, Jimi Hendrix, would still have 20 years later on the bands from his own hometown that started their own rock revolution.
The audio track for this video has been blocked (the audio muted) by Warner Brothers (WMG) for copyright infringement. I have respectfully opened a dispute with them to allow it under fair use law for educational and historical purposes. I will feature it on my channel if WMG is kind enough to allow it!
M.A.C.C. is:
Mike McCready - guitar
Jeff Ament - bass
Chris Cornell - vocals
Matt Cameron - drums
(Temple Of The Dog - minus Stone Gossard and Eddie Vedder. But honestly, this is a HENDRIX song! No rhythm guitar or back-up vocals needed.)
