Eddie Vedder is the only one left out of the "Big 5" of Grunge.

It is interesting that they all killed themselves, either directly or indirectly (OD).

I was briefly thinking about this too. I didn't come up with any theories but if you did, i'd be interested to hear them.

My theory is that drug use/addiction and depression were very rampant in the grunge scene.

As I expected tbh. I was going to say something about the grunge scene but I knew you'd beat me to it.

Or maybe it was the RECORD LABELS man. How can they sell those (c)rap records if there are still rock musicians out in the mix? They probably put the hits out on all of them.

These guys were punks who were thrust into the mainstream with the music industry throwing money at them. To me, they are victims of the beast that the industry had become. Proof it needed to die, honestly.

Just listen to "Show Me How To Live".

That just makes too much sense.

Nice. I'll be blasting it later tonight myself. I think it's highly underrated.
