RichardNixon Posted January 10, 2011 Share Posted January 10, 2011 Anyone voting for Kurt Cobain know that he still would have hated you for being on a GN'R board, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetness Posted January 11, 2011 Share Posted January 11, 2011 I've always been a bigger fan of Axl's than Kurts, if you ask me I'd say Kurt Cobain is pretty overrated. Nirvana was great thoughalso, Axl is still alive. no matter how much you doubt his mental stability, he hasn't blown his head off Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vincent Vega Posted January 11, 2011 Author Share Posted January 11, 2011 (edited) also, Axl is still alive. no matter how much you doubt his mental stability, he hasn't blown his head offWhat does this have to do with anything?Nothing.I hate the "He's dead, so the other guy wins" or "Rap is better than Led Zeppelin cause it's newer" argument.I've gained more respect as time's gone on for Nirvana than I once had. While I still rank them lower than Guns of course, I do LOVE In Utero and the scant 1994 songs we have. Kurt was going in a really beautiful direction and I wish he'd stuck around to show us it. They went from being a band I absolutely hated--and while I do still feel Kurt was in many ways a pompous, arrogant hipster asshole and that Grunge unwittingly killed Rock--to being in my top 10 or top 20.

Dead Flower Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 Kurt and Axl were both so young when they started their little feud.If Kurt had hung around, I think he would have outgrown all that and started showing a certain level of respect for Axl and vice versa. Speaking of vice versas, those chocolates were yum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Speaking of vice versas, those chocolates were yum.Axl already respected Kurt...He promoted Nirvana, wanted them to get into the spotlight, spoke highly of their material.It was Kurt who started the feud by being a self righteous little ass, after trying to make his band appear to be the same kind of music as Guns N' Roses by releasing Smells like Teen Spirit as a single to get more attention. (He admitted to this--He felt it sounded enough like Guns that people would think Nirvana was just like Guns and listen to them).

Dead Flower Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 I agree. Kurt acted like a bit of a twat. And Axl's reaction to it was just as ridiculous. Talking about Kurt's child being stillborn, burning hats, etc.But they were both young. I think they would have outgrown it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bacardimayne Posted January 12, 2011 Share Posted January 12, 2011 (edited) Kurt deliberately detunes his guitar. Then he sings with a monotone indifference that descends into atonal wailing. The solo is chaos. Yet somehow it's mesmerising and amazing. This is why Cobain was so great and what most people miss when they talk about Nirvana now. Something you can't explain but something we've not seen since. Amazing scenes.LOL Edited January 12, 2011 by bacardimayne Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thought it was pretty funny.Not really a Nirvana fan, but I like a good percentage of their songs considering how much they've released. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think thats a major weakness worth mentioning in this debateThe question is who was the better vocalist and who was the better lyricist. Thus the only relevant things are a) their vocals and B) their lyrics. Lithium meant his suicide is not relevant to those questions. It is like saying I prefer Axls voice because of the shoes he wears. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Green Scar Posted February 1, 2011 Share Posted February 1, 2011 (edited) Ok, that's the point:Kurt is Kurt, just a simple man, no need money, well, for Kurt all is: FUCK THE GLAMOURS!!!!!!

Kurt lyrics is AMAZING, included depression and other stuffs.Axl disappear for three years after the last song "Sympath For The Devil" for Interview With A Vampire Soundtrack with Slash and old members. Goodbye for old Guns N' Roses.Axl return with the song "Oh My God" to End Of Days Soundtrack, OH YEAH! The songs is ROCKS!!!!!! i like it! Really!!!!!!

Axl fat is not a problem, because he's run, and jump. Well, his keeping ROCK! When I see this performance I very curious to listenning Chinese Democracy, because the new songs sound very good in this concert.Well, I buy Chinese Democracy, I DON'T LIKE IT! For me the songs is very week, Buckthead is ONLY the new Guns i like, the rest i feel so sorry!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!In Utero the last Nirvana work, BRILLIANT ALBUM!!!!!!
