Mick Grondahl

I wanna get to know more about him man, I’m genuinely curious since I think he’s such an integral part of the band and such a great, great bassist in my opinion. I think he doesn’t get the credit he deserves.

I gotta say I’ve read some not so nice things about him on here, but maybe they were wrong 🤷‍♂️

Can someone enlighten me?

Dream Brother song

Something very curious happens to me with this song (‘Dream Brother’). At first, I didn’t know the story behind the lyrics, but I always interpreted it as the story of the myth of Hypnos, Thanatos and Morpheus. If you analyse the lyrics, the number of similarities is incredible. If Jeff never read about these myths, I can certainly say that the collective unconscious exists.

I Released an Album Inspired by Jeff and Chris

I released some original music, and it's taken me my whole life to get to this point. I was a bass mercenary for a bunch of bands for more years than I care to admit, but it wasn't until I heard Grace that I wanted to buy a guitar—Jeff's guitar. I recorded this album with a blonde '83 Telecaster I scoured the internet for back in 2011 (and added a mirror pick guard and Seymour Duncan hot stack to boot).

While I can't sing like Chris, I could attempt some of what Jeff did with falsetto and more of a chorus vocalist type of approach. The song titled "Sin-é" is about my dog whom I of course named after the venue.

People I grew up with were all listening to pop punk, which I could never relate to. I leaned more toward Gen X with my musical taste. I'm a 90s kid forever and a grunge kid forever. Sadness is built in.

I hope you guys don't mind me sharing here, and if you wind up listening, I hope you enjoy!

Live at Metro - question

Watching Live at Metro for the first time in a while. JB spends a good 90 seconds doing vocal warmups before he and the band start the show with Dream Brother. Was this just a flex by JB to show off his vocal range ? Why not warm up backstage and come out ready to play with the band. Anyway, it’s a ripping version of DB and the show rocks.

New JB ink! To me, THE defining lyric off Eternal Life

In such an overtly angry song, he reminded us his anger came out of the sheer love he felt for the world. What an artist.

Wines to pair with Grace by Jeff Buckley?

I always believed that the Jeff Buckley album is an amazing wine album. An album where you just sit down and have a glass or two and listen to it. Question is which wine would pair with such a interesting pair of sounds piled onto beautifully deep and complex lyrics. Any suggestions would be welcome!

Is anyone familiar with this album?

For context I came across it online and purchased it and all I've seen online is on Discogs.

Just finished watching it’s never over

I watched the documentary for the first time and loved seeing a different side of Jeff. It really humanized him and showed the real side of his personality. I was a bit shocked when they showed the circumstances behind the end of his relationship with Rebecca.

But what really stood out to me was when he spontaneously climbed up to see Robert Plant and Jimmy Page perform.

It made me sad to think his impulsivity and lust for life in a way contributed to his death. No person should live life in fear but he really was completely fearless.

By the end of the doc, I was ugly crying when his mom played the voice message he left her. Somehow no matter the years that pass, I feel so sad for this incredible human whose life was cut short. But I feel grateful to have existed in this timeline and discovered his work. What a ride.

Was Jeff a fan of Nirvana?

I mean did he ever talk about Nirvana? From what I've read he was actually a huge fan of Soundgarden. I wonder what he thought of bands like Nirvana and Alice in Chains.
