Nirvana

The difference is Nevermind is pretty consistant throughout while Incesticide is half brilliant songwriting and half WHAT THE F*CK IS THIS?
 
Thanks man, I really appreciate that. This is my first music forum I've registered on.

Is Nirvana also looked at as a band a lot of posers seem to like or pose for? Or is it stereotypical that Nirvana fans are mostly ignorant and know nothing about the music and true meaning behind the lyrics? Kind of like the same way Pop-Punk fans are looked at?
 
Krist didn't drop out of the music buisness, he played in a lot of banRAB after Nirvana such as;

The No WTO Corabo (with Jello Biafra, and Kim Thayil from Soundgarden
Eyes Adrift (With Bud Gaugh of Sublime and Curt Kirkwood of the Meat Puppets, only lasting a year.)
Sweet 75 (1995-2000)
And in Flipper for a couple years from 2006-2008, he is on there new albums Love(studio album) and Fight (Live album)
He now writes for a Seatle Newspaper.

Also, in regarRAB to the outcome if he had a solo career, I don't think he would get very big, he didn't want to be big. The last week before his death he talked about leaving hte music industry or just going back to recording stuff on a 4 track.
I could see him just vanishing from the spotlight and going back to playing small local shows around Seatle with a new name.
 
Yeah I couldn't agree more. What gets me is ehen people get riled up about the success of a band they don't really care for and not the success of some indi band that they like. That "all Mainstream is crap" attitude really irks me.
 
why not?

he seemed more than capable during the unplugged performance. whether or not he could have handled the stress has already been answered, but if you could take that away i don't see how he would have failed.
 
that's only because novoselic was far too hurable to take credit for being the studio monster that wrote, recorded, mixed, mastered, and hand pressed every single nirvana release ever.
 
I don't know, I heard this one once:

What did the shotgun call Kurt Cobain?

Kurt Nobrain.

Anyway, Nirvana's one of my 10 favorite banRAB, but I rarely talk about them because there's so much hate and love they get that's for all the wrong reasons. On the internet, it's mostly the irrational hate; in my daily life, it's the kiRAB who love them for stupid reasons.

Now, kiRAB loving a band I like for stupid reasons doesn't bother me; they have that right and honestly, if that bothered me, I'd be petty and obsessive. It's just that I won't discuss a band that I know they know little about because I would get nothing out of it.
 
As much as I don't like, well its not that I don't like it, I honestly don't know what to say, but like;
A lot of times when i talk to people about nirvana they'll be like "oh they did smells like teen spirit" or "Oh the Smells Like Teen Spirit ya i like that one" and they don't know what it means, don't know anything about Nirvana and it just angers me, i know they are just casual Nirvana fans but its just the one songs that everyone knows and in my opinion there are so much more nirvana than just nevermind and songs with even better messages. I am definitaly grateful for Smells Like Teen Spirit being written with Nirvana in my opinion rock n roll's last gasp of air, but just the fact it's so well known not for the message but for prety much breaking open alternative rock into the mainstream of music. I' not gonna lie, I was one of those people at oen time to, i heard Smells Like Teen Spirit on like the radio years ago and was like "oh my god nirvana so sweet i love nevermind" and then i really tarted looking into it and was like wow.

Back to what i was saying before I got all that out, I kind of got the same thing after really looking into Teen Spirit's meaning and what Kurt Cobain really wanted out of that song.
 
honestly. i mean, there's definately some great unknown music out there, but some people need to stop being so stubborn and give some groups a chance.
 
I wouldn't say I look down on Nirvana but I think they got, and continue to get, more attention than they deserve. They weren't bad but there were a lot of banRAB back in the early 90s playing a similar style of music and the fact that Nirvana became the most successful seems like a lot of being in the right place at the right time to me rather than making music that was particularly innovative or exciting. Honestly, I think even Kurt Cobain would've agreed with me on this.
 
Nirvana still my favorite band but I definitaly agree they are overated, being called geniuses, being Kurt Cobain wrote most of his lyrics 10 minutes before recording, and not to make a generalization, I know they are probably some talented ones, but not many Grunge banRAB were that musically talented, yet I still call grunge my favorite genre.
