then we would have our music meeting and we would look at all the videos and decide who was going to get put into the new rotation i was a 21 year old kid that loved punk rock, and i pretty quickly realized that the music that they were playing just wasn't what i was into. when the new nirvana video was delivered to mtv, i was completely blown away. i said listen, they really are incredible and we need to give them a shot. and if it doesn't work, then you can push me out of the music meeting. >> tonight's world premiere video. it's from the seattle band nirvana smells like teen spirit load up on guns. >> bring your friends fun to lose. >> it was like the musical kennedy assassination of our time everybody who was alive then can tell you the moment they heard that song, because nothing like that existed to that point. >> it was really transcendent. well, the lights out at the dangerous year we're on now

audience, so start looking for the people with the clothes, with the holes in the knees and you better run to those clubs to buy up the next one. >> i would go to the clubs and see bands like catbutt and bands like screaming trees and it was such a refreshing change from the competitive sort of la hollywood 80s, and it was just suddenly so cool to be from seattle. >> one of the biggest music biz stories these days is the so-called rain city renaissance, with the emergence of noisy punk metal, grunge rock bands like soundgarden, nirvana, alice in chains and pearl jam from seattle washington. i'm feeling i'm feeling all shine. >> i'm shine, shine shine why don't you tell me what the biggest misconception about the so-called seattle music scene is? >> everybody's a grunge band all these bands that actually sound pretty different from each other were being lofted up to the mainstream, as this is

what grunge is. >> tell me a little bit about the seattle music scene. >> with all the attention, you know, no one's ever asked us that before. we've never heard that question. so tell me about the seattle sound. what's going on up there? uh, what's in the water song so have i got a little story for you would you thought was your daddy bands like nirvana, pearl jam, they wanted no part of the music industry machine. >> and yet there they were on mtv, on the charts selling millions of records hey lai ching-te hello, ivy oh, i'm still here. >> it's a little bit overwhelming to see this many people we're used to playing small clubs, you know and we want to go back to playing small clubs rock tour kicked off in phoenix

like everything was going to be okay not fuad shukr from seattle tonight. >> word of an untimely death. >> the lead singer of nirvana shot and killed himself at his home in seattle, washington today it didn't come as a major surprise but it was devastating because of the way it happened. >> i pulled over and i just i was there for like 20 minutes to a half an hour just crying right there. >> i just don't understand it, that's all. >> i think he was the closest that his generation came to a john lennon in that, you know, he was writing very much from the heart, very directly. >> and he didn't play according to the rules. >> i was 16 when that happened and if you turn to music for solace in your life to then see your hero kill himself, it was

devastating. it certainly sucked the air out of alternative rock. you know, the best band fell apart after only making a couple of records. you know, what do you do after that oasis. >> the verve. >> blur. the britpop thing. >> it was like the hangover of grunge. oh my god, my head's pounding. this has been insane. let's turn on oasis i wonder what they were. >> the opposite of divine because they wanted fame, you know. no matter how big they were, they wanted to be bigger. >> was simple as that. and it's that simple. everything we admired about oasis in a way is that they've got no kind of no false modesty i admire anybody who can just sort of go, we're' balls to do that is good. in my book but i'm a creep creep came out in the

early 90s, and that was as much of an alt rock hit as any of the nirvana songs or the pearl jam songs but it was hardly extraordinary. inevitably, you know, the first song that becomes a hit, everybody caricatures the band from that. we just have to wait to see whether we have the chance to prove that we're not just that okay i remember vividly listening to radiohead's next record, the band's nonstop. >> i would just seriously geek out on every part. the bassline, the percussion every tiny little nuance don't leave me high don't leave me dry. >> the band released a new album, okay, computer that has critics chirping with praise to cherish okay computer is like

garth brooks are you surprised by that? >> yes sir. i guess my family knew where they were going to be asking the questions and got there before they did i got friends in low places where the whiskey drowns and the beer chases my blues away. living in mississippi country was a huge part of my life, and it was all because of garth brooks. the first time i ever saw him in concert. i was probably 10 or 11 years old and i said, that is exactly what i want to do. >> garth brooks is the biggest selling artist of the decade and the fastest selling musical artist ever he's been described as a cross between john wayne and mick jagger. >> he's got the looks of a cowboy and the moves of a rock n roll star it sounded like rock n roll guitars and big drums and everybody's singing along. that's what people liked about rock shows. but here i come. >> as the act became maybe less twangy in their way that really

in pop culture where young women's thoughts feelings, voices were respected or taken seriously. i'm just a girl. >> there was such a strange dichotomy to gwen stefani. super girly. but then also kind of tough. and then in front of this band of all guys that's all that you let me be i'm just a girl in the world and that's all that you'll let me be. >> you know, it was like the middle finger up to every guy that ever annoyed you. look who's here. alanis. hi. >> hi we ran into each other. we're shopping today. >> yeah i thought we'd take you with us and alanis is here with a brand new album, a brand new look. >> i've noticed. yeah, i was dropped from mca records after having made music through my teens and my personal promise to myself was that i wouldn't stop until i wrote a record that really exemplified and and nailed on the head what was truly going on for me. i know the version of me is she perverted like me would she go

part, to think that you're alone in your pain. i quickly realized that i was not alone, and that millions of other people were feeling, along with me. people were tired of sublimating. people were tired of being inauthentic about their real experience and conforming. so i think there was this door that busted open and i was on the crest of the wave. it's like ray epps like a wedding day. >> it's a free ride on you've already been ironic. >> was really funny because what she was talking about wasn't ironic at all but she became one of the biggest stars of the mid 90s, and i think out of that, you get not just the last morissette, the idea like, you know what, there's lots of other women making music too. and let's celebrate all of it. >> the latest trend in rock n roll women last night, some of the top female artists took the stage to launch lilith fair it is a series of summer concerts rocking the world and shattering misconceptions. a lot of the summer festivals are very male dominated and i just
