"When the lights out, Hit the stages, Here we are now, Entertain us, Not the stupid, Or contagous, Here we are now, Entertain us"
Nirvana is one of those legendary bands which no one will ever forget. Its too bad Kurt Cobain had to kill himself
Now a days, the Foo Fighters, which consists of Dave Grohl (he was the drummer/vocalist in Nirvana) and they're kicking some ass right now, don't you agree?

That's what it sounds like to me, and it's what lyrics.com says, but I'm not sure how accurate they are.
But yes, Nirvana is an awesome band.

Regardless of that, Nirvana has been a favorite band of mine for some time. My favorites are "The man who sold the world" "Heart shaped box" and "Come as your are". Funny part is, they didn't even like SLTS.

I watched pop-up video one day, and there was a Nirvana song on, and the video was a compilation of lots of clips from concerts and stuff. One bubble said that in the whole 2 hours (I think 2) of footage they had, only 6 seconds had Kurt smiling. Most of the time he was singing, of course, but still. Geez.

Nirvana was some good music..I wont forget about em.
I remember Dave Grohl saying something about the trouble to create their greatest hits album (came out last year) I think it was because of Courtney Cox, who didnt want to release a greatest hits album at all; since it was her husband who died and all. Thank god they came up with an agreement, and they did release it.

I've heard one song by Soundgarden: "Black Hole Sun". I wouldn't describe it as sounding "grunge", but it's an awesome song.

And everybody who is basing Soundgarden on Black Hole Sun is being foolish...
Post by: Hostile Creation on July 07, 2003, 08:07:29 AM
Yeah, but the Beatles are annoying. Especially Jonh Lenon. Heck, I'd've shot him for doing that damn "Imagine" song. God I hate that song.

The Beatles aren't that bad. Their songs are bearable, the main thing is that they're just a bunch of hippies with dorky haircuts that prepubescent teenage girls mistook for cool. But they're all right, I suppose.

And skill is very important to me, as is complexity. Simple music is fine for some people, but I prefer intricacy, and thick musicianship...

On another thing Nirvana, has anyone in high school noticed any kind of surge of kids wearing like Kurt Cobain and Nirvana t-shirts? There are so many kids that like Nirvana in my school its awfully crazy. But I also kind of wonder if any of them actually own any of the CD's besides Nevermind and the greatest hits. I personally have Bleach through Greatest hits + some singles.

I like your picks! I would add Polly & New Wave Polly though definately my all time favourite Nirvana song.
The simlarities between PJ, Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Soundgarden etc don't exist, except that they were all around at the same time, collaborated with each other in some cases (Temple of the Dog, Mad Season) but in my opinion the music they produced individually sounds nothing alike.

I also think Courtney Love had something to do with Kurts death, because the first Hole album had some songs that i know she is incapable of writing, and some sounded a little too much like Nirvana.
Post by: vudu on December 16, 2003, 06:47:42 AM
kurt tried to kill himself 6 weeks before he actually did, in rome by o.d.'ing on pills. i believe he was in a coma for something like six days. after he woke up, they checked him into a rehab clinic where he stayed for a few weeks before checking himself out. he then disappeared for a little less than a week before they found him dead in his home.
he killed himself. face it. no conspiracy. no murder. no forged suicide note. he shot himself in the head.
if you're interested, i'd recommend checking out his journal which was published sometime last year. it gives some insight into his very troubled mind.
Post by: Ian Sane on December 16, 2003, 08:05:20 AM
Considering they only released three studio albums I think owning only those two CDs is pretty good. Anything beyond that is pretty much for hardcore fans only.
I agree with kingvudu that there probably was nothing beyond Kurt merely killing himself. He was a drug addict with depression problems. If he wasn't famous nobody would be surprised by his suicide.

For all of the lucky people who have MTV 2 theres going to be alot of stuff on Nirvana and Kurt Cobain tomorrow. They're showing the Unplugged set which I am excited about. I wish they released that on DVD. It would be great to own. "What else should I write? I don't have the right" haha so simple but so effective, I leave you with my favorite Nirvana song "Heart-Shaped Box" off of In Utero
She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak, I've been locked inside your heart shaped box for weeks, Ive been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap, I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black. HEY wait! I've got a new complaint for ever in debt to your priceless advice, Hate Haight! I've got a new complaint , for ever in debt to your priceless advice. HEY wait, I've got a new complaint forever in debt to your priceless advice. Meat eating orchids forgive no one just yet, cut myself on angels hair and babys breath, broken hymen of your highness I'm left black, throw down your umbilical noose so I can climb right back. HEY wait! I've got a new complaint for ever in debt to your priceless advice, Hate Haight! I've got a new complaint , for ever in debt to your priceless advice. HEY wait, I've got a new complaint forever in debt to your priceless advice.She eyes me like a pisces when I am weak, I've been locked inside your heart shaped box for weeks, Ive been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap, I wish I could eat your cancer when you turn black.HEY wait!

They also shared another thing: a woman caused both bands to split up. Yoko Ono mad the band part, Courtney Love made the sides of her husband's head part.

Maybe you should read my journal, which I assure you is just as disturbing. But i'm not going to kill myself. And, I said I think Courtney Love had something to do with his death. Doesn't make it so. Nor does it make the 'official' diagnosis true.
Kingvudu believes the 'single bullet theory' as well.
Evil intentions, this thread was resurrected because of the tenth 'anniversary' of Cobains 'suicide', I suppose.

I feel Courtney Love is taking advantage of his legacy with that journal.
Like she does with everything she has done.
I read about that guy getting killed by the train, and details are sparse , of course. Then we have people who refuse to consider anything besides the 'official' write-up of what happened.

My friends are like that about the whole death of Kurt Cobain, I get ridiculed for saying I don't believe he committed suicide, they're very close minded about it all. There all like he was a suicidal psycho, but he wasn't suicidal, all of his close friends said he wasn't. At the time of his death, he was pretty clean and was happier than he had ever been, he had Frances Bean and his stomach ailment had been fixed. The only person who was saying he was suicidal was Courtney Love. I hope the case is re-opened. It deserves to be, there is so much evidence that it was a homicide. If it wasn't true wouldnt you think Courtney Love would be suing the living begeezus out of the authors of these books? Why hasn't she? We all know she is a greedy, s.o.b.

Well, one thing we can agree on, his death was a blow to the music industry, regardless of how it went. Nirvana was a great band with a great lead singer/guitar, and they are missed.
I kind of disagree with that , to some extent. I think Nirvana breaking the monotany of music in the early 90's was the great thing about them. I don't think they would have been a great band after 94. Nor do I think they were a great band in general. They shook things up, which I appreciate, but thats about the extent of it for me. I compare them with the Sex Pistols, and grunge with the punk era of '77 - '80....

I don't think they should have gone on like Metallica has, but one more CD would have been nice, and I wanted to see them live, given my age, that would not happen earlier.
Well, they would have never gone on for 22 years like Metallica, considering they were only at 5. Only iconic bands can last through multiple changes in the music industry. Metallica has survived because they don't change their music with every trend. They've become less heavy, yes, but they still are one hell of a hard rock/metal band. Nirvana would have died with grunge.
I saw Nirvana live in '92, and it was a great show. I want to say it was at Lollapalooza, but given how many shows i've seen, its hard to pinpoint it exactly.
Post by: Kraven on April 08, 2004, 01:12:02 PM
I don't think it would have mattered if Kurt hadn't died, the band was breaking up anyway and I dont think he was planning on having a solo career.

Yeah, that was definitely the best GameCube game of all time.
