Back in 2009, Greg Prato issued one of his first books—which also happened to be among his best-known and most successful—entitled Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music. Considered by many to be the definitive overview of the Pacific Northwest music scene of the '80s and '90s, the book featured well over 100 interviews with members of grunge's "Big 4" (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains), as well as others who were first-hand witnesses and/or contributors to a musical movement that affected the world.

However, with so many interviews conducted, there was so much content left on the cutting room floor. Fourteen years later, Prato carefully collected the bits that didn't make it during the first go-round, which now comprise I Love Grunge: “Grunge Is Dead” Outtakes.

In addition to offering different viewpoints of grunge's history, new stories and insight are discovered in these nearly forever-forgotten quotes, making I Love Grunge the perfect companion to Grunge Is Dead.

I've listened to Grunge is Dead at least three times now ao I can relive, in my mind anyway, the good days of the 90s for me. I love all kinds of music, metal, some pop, EDM, dark ambient, trip hop, classic rock, Mowtown/Soul, a little country, but Grunge was always and will always be my main love. It's an old friend that's always been there for me.

So, of course I'll do anything to learn every detail about it, trivia, facts, first hand accounts. This book is a great follow up/companion piece to GID. It was nice to hear other stories of each of the main bands from that era, ans hear more stories of how they formed, how they felt after the tragic deaths of their fellow musicians and friends.

There xould have been a bit more on the Screaming Trees and Lanegan, but again, thr weren't as bug as the rest of the groups were, but still highly Influential, ans Lanegan had a great career after the Trees. Butat least they were mentioned a bit towards the end.

My only other issue is the reader himself. Whilehes a great writer, and does an amazing job of compiling information and interviews, is reading is kind of rough. GIS was often hard to listen to, as was Lanegan, and this is roughly the same. But not everyone has great speaking voices, and he does do his best

I highly recommend this book to those who want a little more history of the last great musical movement that never was. And I still am grateful for Prato doing these amazing books.

Great Follow Up book
