Mother Love Bone

Along with such prominent bands as Soundgarden , The Melvins , Alice In Chains and Nirvana , Mother Love Bone became part of what came to be known as the "Seattle Sound" in the late '80s.

Unfortunately, lead singer Andrew Wood (from the band Malfunkshun ) died of a heroin overdose in 1990 , weeks before the release of their full length debut album, '' Apple ''. Soon after Wood's death, Gossard and Ament joined singer Chris Cornell and drummer Matt Cameron to form Temple Of The Dog . The group released their self titled album on December 31 , 1991 as a tribute to Andrew Wood. Singer Eddie Vedder also contributed vocals to several songs on the album. Vedder, Gossard and Ament would go on to form Pearl Jam .
