All played the first Lollapalooza in 1991. Trent Reznor of NIN dated Courtney, while Perry Farrell and Gibby Haynes have demonstrated better judgement.

All appeared in the movie "Singles". Chris Cornell, then lead singer of Soundgarden, the late Layne Staley, frontman of Alice In Chains, and Eddie Vedder, vocalist of Pearl Jam, all appear in director Cameron Crowe's film. Vedder gets the most screentime as the drummer for Matt Dillon's band "Citizen Dick".
