Mother Love Bone has become a legendary Seattle band, but its music is less familiar than its story. The heroin overdose that killed lead singer Andrew Wood came just before the release of "Apple," the band's major label debut, and this seminal forerunner of the Seattle sound that has become such a major force sank without a trace. Now, however, with the success of Pearl Jam, which includes Mother Love Bone alumni Jeff Ament and Stone Gossard, and the slow climb of the Wood tribute album, "Temple of the Dog," Mercury has made another attempt to find an audience for the original. The label has combined the band's "Shine" EP and "Apple" on one release, plus some unreleased material, and it shows just what a loss Wood's OD really was. His vocals and lyric sensibility More... (Submit New Mother Love Bone Lyrics) (Submit New Mother Love Bone Lyrics) Review about Mother Love Bone Thanks | Reviewer: Brian Hunt ------ About the song Man Of Golden Words performed by Mother Love Bone I thank you for these words and music. Without songs like this one, this old life would be rough. This song touches every aspect of my life and I thank MLB for it. Seems like the good die young but still live on forever. Kinda immortal in a way. Awesome | Reviewer: Brian Hunt ------ About the song Stardog Champion performed by Mother Love Bone I came across these guys while I was working as a Process Control Tech for GP. The technical director there listened to them back in the day and I had never heard of them till a lat night shift that I was working one night. The tempo and riffs that they play in this tune and the whole CD was killer. It revived me to the point that I was ready to break out my bass and jam with them on the spot. Thanks for the riffs and the awesome tunes. Ah, I wish I could've bitten the 'Apple' | Reviewer: Timmons Valur ------ About artist/band Mother Love Bone I have met (or know well) many a-celebrity in my time. There is only one that I have ever been stuttering- and shaking nervous in front of: the late, great Andrew Wood. He wasn't even mych of a celebrity then, but he was, all in all, the Quintessential Rock Star. He was L'Andrew The Love Child. 'Stardog Champion' is great, mostly for the inclusion of a song called 'Gentle Groove.' Andrew wood was Prolific. Prolific and Profound. read through any of his lyrics, and you will see a wisdom beyond his lean 24 years. Mother Love Bone (aka The Dum Dum Boys or daddy Long Legs) was NOT Heavy Metal. Nor was it 'Grunge.' It was Love Rock, fueled by the Number of Love: 333. 'Apple' and 'Shine,' together, can basically be found on 'Stardog Champion' but the albums separately are, albeit hard to find, a treasure trove of that 'Six String Thang' and hilarious, poignant lyrics. I personally adore 'Mindshaker Meltdown,''Gentle Groove,' and 'Stardog Champion.' I can only just imagine how huge Mother Love Bone would've become had Andrew Wood not returned to Olympus. Hell, it's easy Arena rok, but Warrant would've opened for them. My ideal show (with all original members still playing and alive): Kiss (in makeup), Thin Lizzy, and Mother Love Bone. I'd say Death Angel, too, but methinks it wouldn't fit. A great song | Reviewer: Stardog ------ About the song Man Of Golden Words performed by Mother Love Bone This is a great contemplative work and has a great Bible quote at the end. I really love listening to it . Mother Love Bone Were Love Rock | Reviewer: Martyn ------ About the song Captain Hi-Top performed by Mother Love Bone i think if this band were still around they would have changed so much music and people them selfs might be diffrent lyrics are so powerful and you feel like in a dream like state with the music,but people for get green river the first grunge band with stone and ambet in,you can hear MLB in the, and it make me laugh when you see band today trying to be diffrent and try to be emotional to try and relate to teenagers and people..but MLB wre emotional without no make up, massive bugets on viedos, or any stupied karrang spin off tv progamme e.G" top 50 anthem with my chemcial romance" the music today is wrong,made for money not for people.and its true what andrew wrote, Music sets the sick free bone china! | Reviewer: jevy chang ------ About artist/band Mother Love Bone andrew wood didn't die, there would be no PEARL JAM.as simple as that. his lyrics and voice is so dreamy. he is one of the most UNDERRATED vocalist/songwriter during the early 90s. Cobain shouldn't be getting all that glory bullshit rockstar i died at the age of 27. And so it began | Reviewer: Chris ------ About artist/band Mother Love Bone I'm stunned by the people I meet who claim to be into the grunge/alt scene but don't know Mother Love Bone nor Andrew Wood. I never grow tired of listening to their songs, especially the Demos, the raw stuff and I pass knowledge of them on wherever I go. I hear Andy in so many singer's styles, especially Layne's and it's so sad he never got to fully fly here in this lifetime. Yet, Andy warms my heart and makes me laugh every time I listen to him and I'm quick to forget any sadness. If you do one thing before getting off this earth in the realm of music, you must hear this band. You cannot claim to know the grunge scene without it. Andrew Wood was an incredible artist and is still missed today. I look forward to hearing these songs in Heaven. A must | Reviewer: Chris ------ About the album Stardog Champion performed by Mother Love Bone I disagree with the other poster but to each his own. Bone China, Come Bite the Apple, Stargazer and Chloe-Crown of Thorns are all incredible lyrics. They give me goosebumps. I prefer the demo bootleg live stuff because of it's obscurity but this is a must have album. Had Andy not died, I could only imagine the possibilities, but I agree it is good to have seen Eddie and Mike get in on it, although I think they would have anyways. Not to mention hooking up with Layne sometime down the road. Wow. Bitter sweet indeed. One of the best 10 songs ever | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Chloe Dancer/Crown Of Thorns performed by Mother Love Bone I love this song from the guts. I have always loved it. Layne Staley thought about it when he sang. It has the mark of the masterpiece on it. It's about that kind of love that people cannot express and lingers on like a mist. Andy Wood, R.I.P., you were the first to fall, but you are NOT forgotten. Seattle Touch | Reviewer: Anonymous ------ About the song Gentle Groove performed by Mother Love Bone Something that has never been said that way before. Starter of the Grunge Republic, long live... Good but not fantastic | Reviewer: Carlos ------ About the album Stardog Champion performed by Mother Love Bone This album is good, Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament had already made their style, some songs can make you remember Pearl Jam. But we can't deny that the Andrew Wood's death was responsable for the Mother Love Bone's disband. Without his death, maybe we never would know Pearl Jam neither Eddie Vedder and Mike McCready. Well, but talking about the album, "Heartshine", "Capricorn Sister" and "Gentle Groove" are good songs, but the lyrics I didn't think it's good at all...
