The rest of Mother Love Bone had supported him but their eyes were also fixed on the prize. Following a family intervention at Thanksgiving, he had checked himself into rehab at Valley General Hospital in Monroe, northeast of Seattle. On the precipice of fame, Wood’s addictions started to spiral. There was a lot of competition, a lot of tension.” “Mother Love Bone was filled with people trying to carve a niche out for themselves. “It was a difficult band for him to be in,” he said. “That intimidated and scared him.” Gossard, in the film Malfunkshun: The Andrew Wood Story, agreed. “He looked at Stone and Jeff as being really organised and knowing what they were doing,” said Cornell. On Apple there are even flourishes of Elton John-style orchestral pop (“Gentle Groove”).Įven when sober, he felt daunted by his ambitious and hyper-competent bandmates. What can be stated with certainty is that Mother Love Bone were as utterly themselves as were Nirvana. Apple was nonetheless still arena rock – and universes removed from the alternative scene in which Kurt Cobain, for instance, had grown up. Gossard and Ament were certainly working towards the murky onslaught of Pearl Jam. To describe Apple as proto-grunge would be a reach. There, they recorded what would be their only album, Apple.
SINGLES SOUNDTRACK MOTHER LOVE BONE MAC
Later that year they went to The Plant studio in Sausalito (where Fleetwood Mac made Rumours and Guns N’ Roses Appetite For Destruction). Mother Love Bone came out of Shine with genuine momentum.

It contained the track widely considered their masterpiece, the eight-minute “Chloe Dancer/Crown of Thorns” (immortalised on the Singles soundtrack). With PolyGram’s support, Mother Love Bone released a debut EP, Shine, in March 1989 – almost precisely a year before Wood’s death. At the time, there was clearly a lot of enthusiasm among the major labels for flamboyant, theatrical, Guns N’ Roses-type heavy metal.” “Interestingly – I’m not sure this is widely known – when Mother Love Bone signed to PolyGram, in, I believe, 1988, it was the most lucrative signing/deal for a Seattle rock band, up to that point,” says Givony.

It's an acoustic masterpiece that perfectly captures the melancholy sentiments of that period. On a related note, the greatest gem on the soundtrack might be Seasons by Chris Cornell. It starts with some moving piano and lyrics and eventually breaks out into the kind of rock you'd expect from that scene.īirth Ritual immediately became one of my favorite Soundgarden songs, as Chris Cornell absolutely wails over a killer guitar riff. If you've never heard of Mother Love Bone, then this is the perfect chance to get their relatively unknown classic - Chloe Dance/Crown of Thorns. State of Love & Trust and Breath are two of Pearl Jam's very best (also available on their Rearviewmirror greatest hits collection). As a huge fan of 90s rock from Seattle, I had to get this, as it has a few hard-to-find tracks.
