It's curious that I just talked to someone about this band now.
Dude had the ultimate rock voice - all apologies to Robert Plant but this was the best singer I ever heard.
The trees never made it as big as many contemporary bands - but he did alright
In my opinion, this whole scene has already lost the best talents. He, Layne Staley and Chris Cornell, who also had an amazing voice. Even vocalists from other genres praise him. As for Layne, you could feel the pain in his vocal lines.Mark Lanegan just had that voice that oozed whisky and cigarettes - probably the best description of his singing.
Screaming Trees came out in the “grunge” era - but never really did anything aside from this. Actually had a few good records after - but nothing commercially successful.
Queens of the Stone Age showed he could sell records - died way too young a few years back.
