moreblack Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 (edited) Are you now judging him on something he said about GnR....or just objectively on the man's music?And I'd like to ask this question to more people here actually! I really DO think that many people here hate nirvana because Kurt and Axl couldn't get along. And that while my GnR sweater and my Nirvana sweater hang next to eachother in my closet very peacefully no, I also hate the band because their songs were so limited, and I hate that they got famous on the strentgh of 3 or 4 chord songs. They were the band that killed any sort of instrumentalism in rock.Can't stand Kurt's voice either...

Fleaness Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 No, but I respect them for what they have done.What is there to respect them for?.... I still don't understand why they got so popular Well, I think that Kurt managed to refelct the feeling of an entire generation. To me, Kurt was a beautifull example of a creative and at the same time very vulnerable soul, that couldn't handle all the big rock fame. The guy was feeling a lot of negative stuff, as many youngsters did back then. He expressed in his music what they didn't always have words for. Then he got famous for doing so. And still he remained the same normal down to earth guy. But he couldn't handle it all, got depressed... I think he chalanged mainstream music. I think he wanted people to respect his music, and really listen to it for what it was. People just liked it because they were nice tunes. As mostly in the mainstream. So he made his music less accessable, just to see what would happen. That's just a very simplistic explenation of what I think of the man. I could be wrong offcourse, and I find it difficult to explain this kinda stuff in english. So I hope I put it to words about right. He managed to speak out stuff that other people were feeling. So called "voice of a generation". And for that, I do respect him. Perfectly put!Some of nirvana's songs, made no fucking sense in hell what so ever.But they were still some of the best damn songs that made no fucking sense in hell what so ever......or something along those lines.......

F*ck Fear Posted September 29, 2004 Share Posted September 29, 2004 I dig Nirvana enough to have bought all their studio/live albums....And the Greatest Hits for one new tune.....And I am looking forward to getting the new Box Set coming in November with a dvd release of them playing a house party in 1987 included.

stratomaster Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 I'd have to admit that Nevermind is quite a good album with a few half-decent songs, but on the whole Nirvana weren't exactly awe-inspiring. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripcurlgirl Posted September 30, 2004 Share Posted September 30, 2004 i really really loved nirvana a couple of years ago, but ive gone off them recently. i also got really interested in the theory that kurt was murdered. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
