Mother Love Bone

Andrew Wood, Vocals/Guitar

Formed in 1988, Seattle

Mother Love Bone was formed by former Green River members Stone Gossard, Jeff Ament and Bruce Fairweather, ex-Malfunkshun leader Andrew Wood and Skin Yard drummer Greg Gilmore. 
   
    Just days before the release of their debut full-length, "Apple", Andrew Wood (left) died of an overdose on heroin.  It abruptly brought an end to Mother Love Bone. 
    Following Andrew Wood's death, Gossard and Ament were approached by Chris Cornell of  Soundgarden, Andrew's roommate, about recording two songs he had written in tribute to Andrew Wood.  Contributions from Mike McCready and Eddie Vedder were also enlisted.  The project turned into an entire album and they took the name Temple of the Dog, a line in the lyrics of a song written by Wood.   Stone Gossard and Jeff Ament would later form Pearl Jam.
