[QUOTE="Darrin Drader, post: 4167350, member: 7394"] Were you actually live in Seattle? Because when I saw Alice in Chains and Soundgarden in concert back in 1989, neither me or my friends were in any way into metal at the time. In fact, we had a pretty healthy dislike of about 90% of the metal that was popular back then. We lived in Pullman WA, just over the mountains from Seattle, and to us, they fit perfectly in with the college and alternative rock scene which was usually composed of some local bands as well as some that came in from Seattle. As an aside, I actually enjoyed one of our local bands more than Soundgarden when they played here and their guitarist actually went on to play with someone somewhat large, I think Mud Honey - but not positive. As for the flannel thing, there were a lot of us wearing it before Nirvana broke, not because it was cheap or metal, but because we liked it. Eh, it was a strange time and there were a lot of emerging trends that piggybacked on other things in different areas. And no, the Shadar-Kai are certainly not metal. Maybe emo, but not metal.
