I Love Grunge: “Grunge Is Dead” Outtakes (Unabridged‪)‬

Back in 2009, Greg Prato issued one of his first books—which also happened to be among his best-known and most successful—entitled Grunge Is Dead: The Oral History of Seattle Rock Music. Considered by many to be the definitive overview of the Pacific Northwest music scene of the '80s and '90s, the book featured well over 100 interviews with members of grunge's "Big 4" (Nirvana, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and Alice in Chains), as well as others who were first-hand witnesses and/or contributors to a musical movement that affected the world.

However, with so many interviews conducted, there was so much content left on the cutting room floor. Fourteen years later, Prato carefully collected the bits that didn't make it during the first go-round, which now comprise I Love Grunge: “Grunge Is Dead” Outtakes.

In addition to offering different viewpoints of grunge's history, new stories and insight are discovered in these nearly forever-forgotten quotes, making I Love Grunge the perfect companion to Grunge Is Dead.
