Grunge Rock Sayings

#1. It's all magic to me. Country to punk rock, all of it. Chopin to Kurt Cobain. But it always all comes back to punk for me, because that was the last time, punk rock or grunge rock, was the last time that passion ruled the airwaves.

James Marsters

#2. Maybe people are finally tiring of watered down grunge rock on the radio.

Brian Chippendale

#3. I'm too young to have experienced firsthand the '70s rock, but when I was in high school, me and my friends were super into Neil Young. That was the grunge era, and he was considered cool again.

Bryan Lee O'Malley

#4. I went to stand-up when my rock n' roll dreams weren't coming true. I knew it wasn't going to happen when I was in a New Wave band in 1992 - at the height of grunge. Then I heard No Doubt's 'Spiderwebs' and I said, 'Well, we're done.' They did - and succeeded at - what we were trying to do.

Greg Behrendt

#5. Never had a ska phase, but I was in a very grunge-like rock band that awkwardly had an alto sax in it.

Colin Stetson

#6. Tell me sir if you will, where in the Bible does it state that it's ok to judge others based purely on assumption? Can you see now who is the lesser evil between the two?

Sofea Shah

#7. You know, back in my days, they used Bayer aspirin for contraception. The gals put it between their knees, and it wasn't that costly.

Foster Friess

#8. He was about as stupid as an animal could be and still live.

Roy Chapman Andrews

#9. No one wants to die or even plans to die, at least not when you are young and living life on top of everything, stepping on gold, running the miles with hot chicks on tow, but even if I wasn't a rock star, and just a normal civilian, I still wouldn't plan to die young. Death is so boring.

Sofea Shah

#10. Best two rock voices I've heard in a last few years both have been from grunge bands: it's Eddie Vedder and the other one is Chris Cornell from Soundgarden.

Bruce Dickinson

#11. I experimented with fashion as it being more like art, allowing what I wore to express what I was feeling on the inside. Androgyny, rock culture, and grunge - they definitely had an effect on the things that made me feel cool and comfortable.

Ruby Rose

#12. One thing that got me started on it was the jean jacket. It's an item that could make you believe you're in the 50s or punk-rock 70s or grunge 90s. I was really focused on timelessness, and I think music is very timeless.

Drew Barrymore

#13. We had a wonderful time with this kind of grunge awareness, where suddenly rock was cool again. People wanted to head loud guitars. It was a great time, and I'm glad we were there. But the gimmick part has worn off.

Billy Corgan

#14. I don't want to pooh-pooh modern pop. I appreciate that as well, but my personal favorite kind of music is guitar-based rock. I like grunge and garage bands and alternative music, but that's more my personal taste.

Al Yankovic

#15. In a good society, people are interested in the hard lives of the workers, not in the easy lives of the artists and models!

Mehmet Murat Ildan

#16. If we don't wake up to that, there's going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we're doing bad things to the atmosphere,

Charles Manson

#17. I love what Alabama Shakes is doing - it's kind of like what grunge did to rock 'n' roll, they're doing to R&B.

John Oates

#18. Writing can sometimes be exploitative. I like to take a few steps of remove in order to respect the privacy of the subject. If readers make the link, they have engaged with the poem.
