man i love this song- too bad this band didn't get big, but we got temple of the dog and pearl jam from it, so at least andy wood didn't die in vain...grunge blossomed basically because of him. The song is probably about how andy considered the stage his realm...follows the trend of bands having their first song on a major album be about their dedication to rockin. (hit the lights, we die young, its a long way to the top if ya wanna rock and roll, etc...)

Definitely think your right about the stage part. But We Die Young has nothing to do with rocking out-Jerry wrote it after seeing kids who were like 13 dealing drugs.
