[@dieterhopfer7388]

I could listen to him for hours. Seems a down to earth guy and I hope he keeps on with his music!

[@portsmouthvictoria]

Love your music Dave

[@julim2990]

I was in love with Dave Pirner when I was 15 and I am 43 and still in love with him.

[@knowyerrights]

....and Im right there with you. I was just talking to my husband about that this morning. God...being 14/15 listening to Misery (the musical embodiment of my teenage years) pining for this gorgeous guy...lol. Great memories!

[@duncan3998]

so now your 1974/

[@silkywellman9046]

I'm 43 as well and thought he was sooooo cool at 15!

[@nealcook62]

What a fantastic interview, so much truth spoken, intelligent man.

[@84strix]

Great interview! Dude's still awesome and the new record is pretty great :)

[@BrianPremo]

The interviewer doesn't seem to realize that Soul Asylum were among the godfathers of the grunge-era. During (and before) the "hairband era" where bands were wearing spandex - these guys were wearing ratty t-shirts, torn jeans and dirty sneakers. Check out anything from the "Hang Time" album or earlier, it has elements of punk, rock and what would come to be known as grunge.

[@Hallucination]

They were not god fathers of the grunge era. That's simply a fan boy's perspective to elevate the importance of the band. Soul Asylum were never "grunge" they were never part of that Seattle sound that became known as "grunge". Soul Asylum was more along the lines of folk punk rock from day one. The Hang Time album has nothing to do with so called grunge. It's a straight up punk rock album. Soul Asylum don't need to be elevated on the back of "grunge". They weren't part of it let alone god fathers of it.

[@BrianPremo]

Opinions are fun, aren't they? Who do you think influenced the "grunge" bands? I would say Punk, and Rock. The "grunge"-movment was more than just about the style of music, it was the unpolished, garageband-to-the-stage attitude. Just because a band wasn't from Seattle doesn't mean they didn't play a part in influencing the Seattle bands.

[@sonicmojo]

Brian Premo Well said... Don't you just love jackass purists who cannot see outside their little box of history! They honestly think grunge happened out of a bubble and over night. Lmao. For every great band who actually makes it, there's a ton of others struggling to make it who have their own unique style and sound. I know of tons of great bands that never saw the light of day way back before grunge blew up and deserve just as much credit. Thank god Dave is still around. If it weren't for bands like Soul Asylum, Husker Du and The Replacements there may not here even been a "Grunge" scene in the first place. At least not the way we experienced it. Kurt himself not only grew up listening to these bands, but shared the stage with many like the Meat Puppets and Sonic Youth. If you weren't there, don't talk shit. Peace

[@billyreynolds4749]

+sonicmojo - Well said! You and Brian spoke the truth!

[@iggypopisgod9]

@Viva La Vivas I would have to agree. There already was an alternative scene in the 80s: "college charts" as they called them, and Rolling Stone used to list the rankings in the back, right beside billboard. So bands out of the conventional mainstream at the time were already there in the early 80s: REM, U2, the Cure. I use these as an example because they were the few that actually graduated to the "big leagues" before Nirvana broke. But they needed radio and MTV help to get there; it didnt hapen overnight. They also had to meet halfway: the above listed bands had to utilize better production to get there. Not every band had that option, especially on an independent label.

[@jeremycubs8331]

Soul Asylum was The Nirvana that never took off as it should have done.

[@jameslaskowski9259]

Icansee u yes

[@davidboden5791]

They sound nothing like each other

[@TheBC313]

they went multi platinum and won a Grammy i think they did alright :)

[@duncan3998]

Sucks that both bands never interact with one another.

[@drecochannel]

Hi Dave, why you no more making anymore songs.

[@ThatOddGarage]

New album is killer.. And his solo "faces and names" was so awesome as well.. And his guest vocals on "chillout tent" by ths

[@classiccarsclassicrock9433]

Have several paintings on small snapshots. he did. Very awesome, somewhat abstract.

[@matthewburrows4359]

He does not give a shit about the bullshite that goes with his profession. Its a shame Dan retired however, Dave has grown as a musician. Adding Funk, Soul and Gospel influences...to the mix of Punk, Country and Heartland Rock. I know he is good friends with Greg Dulli, another musician who just does his thang

[@htomsirveau6894]

damn his voice is boomy compared to his singing voice

[@ClearAdventure]

It's mostly the mic. It is called a lavalier and clips on your shirt by your throat. The closer the mic is to the source the more bass it has, it is called proximity effect. It is picking up his voice from his chest and throat where the sound is originating, which is acting like a bass bin. - Audio technician

[@musicvideosish]

2018 Still Listening 8-)

[@kjw805]

I still remember watching Soul Asylum @ Clinton's Inaugural Ball in 93'. Dave had this great plaid jacket on. I watched it with my son. They were great! What a magical time....miss the 90's.

[@thyonebadbrad1]

great music!!

[@roxanapirra207]

I see you are returning fast then I have been thinking about why

[@davidpearce6955]

He looks like he could be related to the Sutherlands or greg nicotero

[@THEBANDIT7979]

Their 1988 album is a relevation. Compare to what was going on at that time.

[@averagetim6190]

1000% agree

[@sticksman1979]

Hang Time should be discussed as a classic more than it is.

[@amarx6248]

I’d love to invite them for a house party, but I’m afraid it would be like that Community episode where Lavar Burton made a guest appearance and Troy went non-verbal.

[@emersontpm8696]

Come to Perú please, great Dave

[@zinagarnier9842]

emerson lopez + Zina i'm so happy that latinos really loved & Love bands like Soul Asylum. Runaway train is one of my favorite Songs!
