Seattle, Washington, United States (1988 – 1990)

Mother Love Bone was a band which formed in Seattle, Washington, United States in 1988. The band consisted of Andrew Wood (vocals, keyboards), Bruce Fairweather (guitar), Stone Gossard (guitar), Jeff Ament (bass) and Greg Gilmore (drums). The band released only one full length album, “Apple” (1990). The band disbanded in 1990 after Wood died in a coma caused by a heroin overdose. Ament and Gossard later formed Temple of the Dog and Pearl Jam.

Mother Love Bone was established in 1988 by former Green River members Jeff Ament, Bruce Fairweather and Stone Gossard, former Malfunkshun frontman Andrew Wood and former Ten Minute Warning and Skin Yard drummer Greg Gilmore. Initially, the group was formed in 1987 out of the cover band Lords of the Wasteland which featured Wood, Gossard, Ament and Malfunkshun drummer Regan Hagar. By early 1988 the band had added Fairweather, replaced Hagar with drummer Greg Gilmore and changed its name to Mother Love Bone.

This new line-up quickly set about recording and playing area shows and by late 1988 had become one of Seattle’s more promising bands. Wood’s exuberant on-stage personality, outlandish clothes and dreamy lyrics helped bring attention to the band. In the 1996 grunge documentary, Hype!, Seattle engineer Jack Endino called Wood “the only stand-up comedian frontman in Seattle,” a reference to Wood’s playful style of interacting with Mother Love Bone fans.

    I can't stop listen to them. Every tune, every sound is just perfect. I think I'd sacrifice all PJ's albums for another masterpice like Apple.

    Happy Birthday and RIP Andy Wood. It’s more than a shame that he had to go before the world got to see what a talent he was. “No one sings like you anymore” -Black Hole Sun, Soundgarden

    MLB wasn't better than PJ they don't sound the same, Andrew wasn't better than Eddie they're different and they're both talented and both bands are good so stop comparing, just enjoy the music If you like MLB better fine but you don't have to degrade PJ if you do
