I graduated in '92 and was working full time. I was always a guitar player but I just was not in the mood to balance my first full time job with the creative back and forth and hassles of playing in an original band. So I joined a cover band that was doing the "alternative" hits of the day and playing bars and such. At first I was o.k. with this since it included the token Nirvana and PJ song but we were also doing Social Distortion, Mudhoney, Replacements, U2, The Cure and a few other more tolerable bands. But the guys who I got into this with were at the time in their early 30's, and were also poodle heads who had just cut their hair and were jumping on the bandwagon. I didn't know this at first because when I started playing with them they pretty much looked the part. But then I caught some older pictures of them (not that much before we were playing together) and they were all Warranted out. It was pretty funny. I didn't last long in that setting.
