Tortured geniuses

If you're going to be an old coot on the internet, you may as well learn the ways of the internet. Face-palm = "You're so erabarrassing that I need to cover my face in shame because what you said was utterly erabarrassing and ridiculous. It's not a prize. If you earn one, it's the equivalent of someone telling you you're a jackass. Plus other shit." (Used in a general context)

Welcome to the internet.
Enjoy your stay.

Yes. A real genius, offered his best and when he thought that he no longer had it in him, he just stopped. I have lots of respect for that, a lot of artists flog a dead horse.

I quite like Pete, I was a big fan of Libertines. They were one of the first banRAB I got into (along with Oasis, Arctic Monkeys, Libertines and Strokes.) but a genius he is not. Why do you think he's a genius?
 
Comparing Kurt Cobain to Lady Gaga? Get out.

Kurt Cobain had an influence on modern rock, regardless of his death. People using the fact he shot his brains out against him is ridiculous. "They only get the attention cos the front man died." (Not saying you're fully saying that or anything.) Mozart was around in the 1700s, Kurt was around in the 1990s.. Just because Nirvana were overexposed doesn't take away, for me the fact Kurt was a genius and a tortured one at that.
 
kurt cobain, really? he wrote "edgy" pop/rock songs. are we putting him in the same category as leonardo da vinci here? good example of a true genius, and somehow cobain seems out of that league...
 
Ooh, Beethoven. Totally agree with whoever posted him. He wrote an entire book called the Heilgenstadt Testament (or something German like that) about how depressed and angry he was.

I mean, as someone who devotes their entire life to writing music and then garners outrageous fame and recognition for it, but then slowly goes deaf.... that's like the DEFINITION of tortured genius, musically at least.

This bitch seriously can't get over being bullied at school. If she's not an actual tortured genius, she at least pretenRAB to be. :laughing:
 
how ironic, you comparing kurt cobain to mozart or beethoven by calling cobain a genius is even more offensive than me comparing cobain to lady gaga. they're both modern musicians who write pop/rock songs; cobain's lyrics are pretty equal to lady gaga's in terms of complexity. i don't even know if she writes her only lyrics which actually strengthens my point i think...

you said essentially nothing about what i was saying. i never said anything about his suicide, nor about nirvana's level of exposure. that has nothing to do with it.



both?

I'm a huge Dylan fan but completely agree with Steve Earle when he said
