Where did that crop up? Pope on a Rope Posted November 8, KoaFreak Posted November 8, I'm totally indifferent to them. He must have sensed it from me. MuyLoCo Posted November 9, Posted November 9, Muddslide Posted November 9, Grantus Posted November 9, They were quite easy to ignore. V-Type Posted November 9, They have a couple of good songs and the rest is just filler imo. They just arent really that note worthy in a lot of folks eyes.
I do like the guitar tones they achieve though. The radio still plays them consistently around here. Head Creeps Posted November 9, Author Members. I love the vocal tone and I think the guitar playing is out of this world.
What a great player! Archived This topic is now archived and is closed to further replies. Go to topic listing. Sign In Sign Up. When you're an year-old kid in Seattle in and everything's blowing up and you're in the mosh with your buddies, you realize that you have to wait until your legal to play the bars.
By the time we came about in , things had cooled down considerably. There was a recent poll done by a Seattle radio station asking who was the worst band from the area and Candlebox won with Alice in Chains coming in a distant second. Why do you think that animosity continues? It's a weird city, a very, very alternative city, alternative living, and alternative lifestyles.
I don't know why people in Seattle hate us. Music is music. I think that asking who is the worst band is just a stupid fucking question. That was probably one of the alternative stations, one that is really just a waste of time, a waste of airspace. I agree with Peter who said grunge was just a trend and we were not part of that trend.
So many facets of music were happening in Seattle, not just grunge. Bands from San Diego and Dallas pulled from the grunge scene and we were just a group of young kids who got together accidentally and who were lucky to have people pay attention to us.

It takes up a lot of the picture. What is a candlebox? I have the same question regarding Sevendust, Silverchair, and Nickelback—perhaps all syllabically inspired by Candlebox? They conspicuously advertised CDs for one penny each, which both frustrated and intrigued me.
In this context, Candlebox is a tiny perforated square that you can lick and stick onto things. The Live record had Angus Young ripping a solo while in mid-flight on the cover. Candlebox would never do anything like that. The whole Columbia House thing is sketchy. The modern-day equivalent of Columbia House might be when Amazon puts albums on sale because no one cares. At the time I was less concerned about public image, because I had little faith that anyone would really take notice.
So I chose a weird name. After all, I consider myself lucky to even have been asked to talk about Candlebox—which is an absurd proposition by most journalistic standards.
