Foo Fighters - Baker Street

I’ve been working with some guys recently, laying down some vocals for one of their demos. Turns out I unknowingly lifted the vocal melody from the Glenn Rafferty song “Baker Street”! It’s so weird how music can influence us on a subconscious level. While I re-work the chorus, let’s take a listen to the Foo […]

Mad Season - Lifeless Dead

So, I’m going to be a bit conceited here and act like you all know that three of the biggest bands of the 90’s got together and started a side project during their reign of the mid 90’s. Anywho, they were called Mad Season, and the band consisted of members of such known bands as […]

Attention All Seattle Grunge & Alt Rock Fans: Mother Love Bone

So we all know and love and live and breathe Pearl Jam. Okay, maybe not all of us do, but I can think of one b5 Music blogger who does, and he be damned if I didn’t mention the band during the week of his absence. However, this post won’t be the usual brown nosing […]

Alice In Chain’s Ax Man Jerry Cantrell Kills On “Boggy Depot”

I have alot of respect for the man known as Jerry Cantrell. Why? Well, for starters, is one of the best guitarists and songwriters to come out of the 90’s rock scene. Look at all of AIC’s hits, and then look at who wrote the song - most credits go to Cantrell. The man took […]
