Andrew Wood was the lead singer of Mother Love Bone. A band posied for great success as the music world ticked over into the 90's. But, Andrew Wood's death from a drug's overdose put an end to that. Then ...Teen Spirit happened and the rest is history.
But.. what if Andrew Wood never had that drug's overdose? What if he managed to get clean and stick with Mother Love Bone?
Here's some points to consider:
No Pearl Jam - Yup.. Mookie Blaylock (AKA Pearl Jam) founders Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament had to seek new pastures only due to the death of Andrew Wood. What would happen to Eddie Vedder?
Grunge - Mother Love Bone are cited as being among the 'founding fathers' of Grunge yet they had a lot in common with Glam Metal and Classic Rock; just look at Andrew Wood's dress sense!
The other bands of the genre? Temple of the Dog wouldn't exist; Would? by Alice in Chains and Far Behind by Candlebox wouldn't exist either. Would any of the major Grunge bands be affected by MLB? Obviously Pearl Jam wouldn't exist.
Individuals in the band? Bruce Fairweather probably wouldn't join Love Battery etc.
Bonus points if you can butterfly the 90's into something different.
