The Official Nirvana/Kurt Cobain Thread

i feel bad for anyone who bought bleach when it came out and thought they had something killer. because that album kicks so much ass. nevermind, what is this, production? theyre good but kurt knew exactly what he was doing when he signed to geffen and he wrote nevermind. ive read saying that he didnt want the fame that he hated it, bs, if thats so true stay with sub-pop
 
Really? Because last I checked, people cite and can recite albums by Ozzy off the top of their heaRAB, they have to really think about the Sabbath stuff.

I am by no means saying Sabbath is crap, it's amazing. But when Dio joined, it went downhill. You can't replace or better Ozzy.

Ozzy's stuff since he left has also been amazing, and his music got bigger when he went solo with Randy, and even bigger with Zakk.
 
10th death anniversary of Kurt Cobain... a Rock and Grunge icon that lives on in our hearts and stereos but whos soul is no longer with us...

Rest In Peace my dear friend

:band:
 
nirvana was a great band and always will be. kurt cobain was an amazing artist. kurt, krist, and dave blended the perfect corabination to create great music that sounRAB just a good today as it did back then. now i can honestly say that my views on nirvana have changed/matured over the years but they still created something great.

i was only 13 when kurt died so i really wasn't big into music yet. when i was 14 i bought in utero and from that day on they have remained my favorite band. i'll admit back in the day i would have told you the kurt was murdered but now i can say that yeah he killed himself. i kinda believe it was his whole plan though. he came from being a nobody to being at the top of the charts and really going out while on top. he created nevermind to be, as much as i hate to say it, one of the greatest pop recorRAB of all time. now i say pop because more or less grunge was pop music of the early 90's. grunge flew to the top as everybody was tired of all the lame glam rock banRAB and pop of the 80's and out comes nirvana. he then turned around a went the other direction and created in utero to more or less prove that he was still "punk" as nevermind was so overproduced.

kurt could form these great songs out of a few simple chorRAB blending perfectly the whole quite-loud-quiet thing, borrowed from the pixies not invented by nirvana, and having an amazing voice to top it all off. nevermind was a great record, mind you in utero is their best one in my opinion and bleach is a great album too. i still listen to their music today and it still moves me just as much.

i don't really get the people that put so much emphasis on their lyrics though. other than in utero there wasn't really much reasoning in the lyrics. kurt always said music was first lyrics were second. on their first 2 albums it was pretty much just random lines from his journals strung together and he was more concerned with how the worRAB sounded then what he was actually saying. he was more or less working at creating great pop songs which shows with nevermind. in utero i think his writing style had a little more structure and the main theme of the album more or less had to do with courtney. but still half of nirvana's lyrics don't even make sense. you can also see where when they would write a catchy pop song but then would throw in really abrasive lyrics to oRABet that for instance 'polly' and 'rape me'

would their music be as great if it came out today? no, but black sabbath wouldn't be as iconic either if they came out today. would they still be creating great music today if kurt didn't kill himself? i think they would still have good music but i don't think they could have ever topped nevermind commercially speaking. kurt created this whole story around his life which he erabellished a lot of details depending on how he wanted the story to go and when he reached the top he took his life as what else could he accomplish. loosely quoted, he set out to become a famous rock star and die before he was 30 and he accomplished that. nirvana will always be a great band and kurt cobain was a great musician/artist.
 
i ****ing hate thoses kiRAB!and they probably dont know anything about him.theyre also the type of kiRAB that like foo fighters but dont know that dave grohl was in nirvana.
