I am on my 3rd beer and listening to Nirvana....

You're being very generous calling Cobain an average guitar player. I can see why people like his songwriting (though it's not my musical taste at all), but in terms of playing ability, he was totally useless. Just utter crap. Can't say anything against his writing, that's just a matter of preference. But as a guitarist, dude just sucked.

Talent is overrated, diy punk is where it's at.


Of course Nirvana were major label corporate rock sellouts but still...

Kurt Cobain is missed.

Anyone think Love had him killed? I read a story that had HER private investigator claiming she had it done.

I dig Nirvana a lot. Dudes voice is one of those voices you can feel. Lyrics are weird. Overall sound is pop punk seventies classic garage rock. Straight up Gen X. They needed at least one more classic album though. They are one of my favorite mainstream kinda bands from the 90's. Along with Smashing Pumpkins and Sublime.

Why try to kill a suicidal man with a heroin addiction? You're in a hurry?

Money? Freedom?

Nevermind was.

In Utero is in no sense pop/mainstream and easily their best work.

I wouldd agree. People overrate the shit out of nevermind just because it had huge sales. It's like the equivalent of rings counting. Sales counting. The entire b-side of nevermind isn't even listenable except for the last song. Teen Spirit is like, the original emo song as far as I'm concerned. That an album that hordes of middle class teens bought, so it had HUGE sales, but just because it sold a lot doesn't mean it's some exceptional album or something.

Exactly. In Utero is incredible, listenable all the way through, heavy, distorted, twisted at times. You really hear the trademark soft/loud dynamic.

I also don't know whether this dude is Godly and insane for being able to do this;

Nirvana sucked, that's why Cobain blew his brains out.



Bleach wasn't too bad though.
