Back in the day I met a lot of those bands the Screaming Trees, Mudhoney, Kim Thayil of Soundgarden, The Nirvana guys (before Nevermind), and a bunch of others that never got as big globally but locally. I was a senior in high school when Nevermind came out. All I did back in those days was buy vinyl and go to shows. Thats how I met a lot of those bands, at shows. Those bands weren’t always big and were pretty accessable. You’d often see members from other bands at shows. I remember one show where Dan Peters played with the Screaming Trees just after Mark Pickerel quit, and Mark Arm was there. I met Kim Thayil at a Dinosaur Jr show. Those days were cool.
