    early Malfunkshun was Alternative/Hard Rock with Heavy Riffs, Noisy like a band from No Wave scene and of course huge influence from Glam Rock. they're very essential at something you called Grunge. now, Malfunkshun just sounds like mediocre Hard Rock/Heavy Rock/Southern Rock without Glam Rock influence IMO :)

    I'm not an expert on glam rock, but I don't think that they were glam rock. Andy was into glam and he was and excellent show-maker, but the guitar riffs are heavy and, in lack of other words, grungy. Imo, MLB wasn't grunge, but Malfunkshun was.

    While still killer, this ain't grunge. This is glam rock, with elements of arena rock. They get lumped into the grunge category because they were from Seattle, and Andrew joined with three former members of Green River (the first grunge band) to form MLB.
