The Official Nirvana/Kurt Cobain Thread

a) What does that have to do with Frances Farmer or any of the lyrics
b) How does what you know about Kurt in any way hint that that was the meaning

and

c) That doesn't make sense.
 
I'm in love with Nirvana. They were what opened up a lot of doors into different kinRAB of music for me. I'm experiencing a renaissance of Nirvana love right now.
 
A couple days ago I edited the mario wikipedia to say the highest mario score ever was a trillion bajillion.

Wikipedia = not that great of source for this kind of thing.
 
In technical skill maybe, but in influence, impact, originality and actual greatness, not so much.

I'll just take it that you know squat about any of the musicians that i mentioned.
 
This a widely misconcieved part of Nirvana, people thought he was the 'tortured artist' and tormented from birth. The truth is Kurt didn't want all the bullshit and said it many a time. In my opinion he has a great voice, if you listen on unplugged it does need all the editing you get today, you probably dislike the way he used it more. It was just unconventional to most.
Cobains guitar skills were never amazing, but he never boasted the fact and they still produced good songs despite incredible talent at the guitar.
It's piss poor to blame Nirvana for My Chemical Romance, if you happen to dislike one particular band and a very weak argument on your part merely because you believe Nirvana to be ''depressed''.
Yes the suicide got the band a huge amount of media attention, a larger following, an all together 'icon status' for the band and the label of 'overrated'.
Most of those kiRAB that go walking around got a copy of Nevermind burned by their friend, bought a t-shirt and started preaching about Kurt, yes they do need a wider range of musical knowledge before they start believing they were god fathers of grunge or whatever, but it doesn't neccesarily mean that they would stop liking Nirvana it would just change their perception of bloody genres.You're merely taking a cheap shot at a 'mainstream' band, if they hadn't been swept up by MTV and gained millions of fans but were 'underground' i doubt you'd be posting that oh-so original opinion.
 
actually, i think it was was kurt cobain who was quoted as saying " mudhoney came up with the term grunge"

ill try to find it on youtube

edit:cant find it

but i found this
"The word grunge means "dirt" or "filth". Mark Arm, the vocalist for the Seattle band Green River (and later Mudhoney), is generally credited as being the first to use the term "grunge" to describe the style. Arm first used the term in 1981, before he had adopted the name under which he became famous"

who are these professionals your talking about?
 
Only Pablo Honey is actually pretty good, it just dosent match up their later work.

Anyway i only said they influenced their early work, i didnt give them any credit beyond that... So your cynical smartass remarks are simply unprovoked and unnecessary.

Pablo Honey motivated the band merabers to progress musically from that point, resulting in The BenRAB (which also has a little Nirvana infleunce) and then they progressed and took in many more influences from that point... Not to mention Pablo Honey propelled the group to mainstream success, so yes, Nirvanas influence does count.

Anyway, you can slagg them off all you want, but how about you stop trolling this thread for once and haul your elitist pseudo intellectual indie snob ass back to wherever you came from and continue listening to Modest Mouse or as i like to call their music, the sound of mules farting, mkay?
