IT'S TIME TA RIDE OR DIE
I love it. Kurt Cobain was only one of many people who had an influence on the grunge scene. I feel like early Soundgarden was way more interesting than most Nirvana stuff. Had he stayed alive, he would have been a dime a dozen junky who'd probably end up like Lane Staley--in the midst of decomp in a bathroom with the needle still in his arm.
Don't even get me started on Cliff Burton. Bus accident = the greatest metal bassist ever? Please. Listen to any good metal band and you'll hear someone just as good or better. Hell. Listen to the drums on Metallica albums and you'll realize that not even death could make anybody think that Lars is one of the best drummers around.
Boy, I guess I am going to have to reveal that I am also a Nirvana fan.
I recently found my Nevermind and Bleach cd's, and I enjoy hearing many of the tunes, now over 10 years old.
I know all the digs about Cobain: bad guitarist, poseur, just part of a temporary scene.
I respected his music choices, like working with Steve Albini, and seeing them in concert, there is definitely a certain violence to Nirvana's music. And everytime I listened to Lithium this month, I had a brief smile.

tupac.... simply awesome... i only listen to him when i have on my matching baseball cap and shoes... it takes a long time to coordinate my outfits...
Totally different genre, but what are your thoughts on Dave Grohl and the Foo Fighters? Personally, I dig his music.
Eh...it's aight. I think what turned me off to his deal (yes, this is going to be as dumb as it sounds....) was the music video he did like the mentos commercial. I wanted to vomit for 36 hours continuously after watching 7.3 seconds of it.
Yep, I agree.
If you can listen to Nirvana's unplugged album and say they were not talented, I have to wonder who you are comparing them to.
Bubblegum Punk perhaps?
Maybe the deep musical experieince of a MXPX song?
Damn, it is hard to wait for you when you co ordinate. So stylish, just like RICK JAMES!!!!!!!!!!
