Nirvana

When he shot himself... He had R.E.M.'s Automatic for The People in his CD player.

It's better than anything he ever did ;)

Sorry, just never were my cup of tea!

:)

How old are you?



(sorry if that is a bit personal, but just interested)

Bit late answering, but anything to take my mind off that fooking shit at COMS....scouse twats. I am 32, Nirvana blew up when I was a teen. Maybe I was too young to appreciate the 'music'...

;-)

You jest... but he was super jealous of R.E.M. ... he wanted Nirvana to sound more like them.

REM was on his CD player and.

Nirvana was music for slightly miffed well-to-do teenagers to headbut their wardrobes to, I liked it. I wasn't well-to-do, we were always middle-class but very poor.

There's a Hammond organ version by Pleasure Beach (on Hammond Street). I'm growing used to it. I used to think it was cardigan music.

I'm not trying to purposely be controversial but isn't there meant to be good evidence that Kurt didnt kill himself but that he was murdered, supposedly by Courtney Love.

I think he was meant to be too drugged up to have been able to do anything, especially load a gun a shoot himself. Also some think his suicide letter was meant to be a letter telling her he was leaving her, and the last couple of lines that do seem to be 'suicidal' is in a different handwriting. I'm sure there are other things too.

Don't know what you all think about that! Not saying i agree with it or anything just stating that's what people think

Indeed, plenty of conspiracy theories out there about Kurt's death.

Never been entirely convinced about them tbh, but I have always believed that Courtney was/is a poisonous individual and I would not be surprised at anything she was capable of.

Kurt was very damaged, and that was part of his allure I think. But to see him with his bleach blonde hair falling over his face, singing into the microphone and smashing things up is quite cathartic for many.

Never really got into them Sharon. But at least they were better than the Smi.....

Remember Cobain saying once that Nirvana were ''just Cheap Trick with louder guitars''. But, he forgot to mention, ''and without great melodies and songs'' too. (And if you listen to Trick's first album, not even louder guitars!)

Sorry, but found his singing whiney and needy. Their biggest hit, 'Teen Spirit' was, on Cobain's own admittance, based clearly on the central riff to Boston's 'More Than A Feeling'.
The slow/fast/slow/fast concept to most of their songs was good though.....Just a pity Husker Du did it several years earlier.............
His missus Celebrity Skin album with Hole was a cracker though!

Their unplugged set is fucking awesome

I gave lithium a blast in the car the other day

+1

Great album that, Cobain's voice is amazing. Interestingly the guitar he used was a chopped up acoustic fitted with a custom electric guitar pickup.

Someone get Pearcey a dictionary so he can look up the word 'interestingly'!!!!!

I've always liked Nirvana, I wouldn't go as far as to say they were my favourite band but there was something about them that always appealed.

I'm too marginally too young to really love them. Better than average in my eyes.

Clearly your opinion. My opinion is that Pearl Jam is one of the blandest, generic bands in existence. Eddie Vedder's voice bores the fuck out of me and so does their guitar masturbation.

Sorry but

Pearl Jam>Nirvana

Nirvana were and still are the overated band ever, sure they have good songs but even at that time there were far better bands e.g. Screaming Trees, Soundgarden, Alice in Chains!

Cobain was simply as poster boy for alternative rock with his Blonde Hair and Blue eyes and ripped clothing thats why they were hyped up by the media etc!

Nirvana were one of, if not thee band that got me into the genre i'm into. The unplugged album IMO is the best they did, the Bowie cover on it, is quality.

The B sides album, Incesticide was the 1st album i think i got by them, awesome.
I'm gonna have to dig em out n listen.
