Well, lets see. A "legend" doesnt blow his brains out b/c he feels "misunderstood", and cannot accept how enormous he became? That doesn't make you a "legend", an "Idiot" maybe... but not a "legend". Besides, Ive heard all 4 of their albums. other than In Utero, the rest are ok, Lithium stunk, their box set? just a way for Courtney Love to whore out the band, so she can make $$$. Just my opinion.

Buddy Holly got killed in a plane wreck @ 27, and he's no more a "legend", than Kurt was/is.

excuse me? do you have any idea what the **** you're talking abot? legend or not late 20's is WAY TO EARLY to die ok? and it dosen't matter because he was a ****ing legend!

And this was because why? Oh yeah, HE KILLED HIMSELF. Sorry, am i supposed to feel bad for him? Nope, left a wife and a kid behind, all because poor little Kurt couldn't handle the spotlight and kills himself? sound the violins, doesn't sound like much of a "legend" to me. Sounds like a coward, and a fraud. The whole point of getting into music is: 1) to get girls 2) to make a buttload of cash. If you had a problem with your success/popularity, maybe you shouldnt have gotten into music in the first place Kurt?

Say what you will about Micahel Jackson, but he's 1,000 times bigger and more successful than Kurt ever was, and yet, he hasn't killed himself yet?

Brad Pitt is a GIGANTIC actor, i dont see him killing himself over all the hysteria he gets from press, do you?

When was the last time you saw Bono wanting to off himself? and U2 are 10 times bigger than Nirvana is.

No denying Nirvana were a good band, and I happened to dig their "In Utero" disc, but, IMHO, thats about where it stops for me. No need to name roads/buildings/etc after him, even Dave and Krist said he wasn't very nice alot of the time. Just not a "legend" IMHO.....he is in yours, thats fine.

Everyone likes to throw that term "Legend" or "Icon" around, when they're truely not, at least most are not. Someone claimed Kanye West was a "hip hop legend" in an article once, really? after only 1 album? amazing.

I like Nirvana, but again, Kurt's not the "legend" everyone thinks he is. He was a drug addict, and not a very smart person, if he were, he'd still be here making "legendary" album, after "legendary" album? and not dead from a self inflicted gunshot wound?

My guess is: he/Nirvana would be right where bands like: Soundgarden/Pearl Jam/Alice n Chains are now? no one really cares about them too much anymore, IMHO.

Besides, everything I've read on the group, Kurt was unhappy with the band, and they were on course for a nasty breakup. But hey, if you feel he's a "legend", then feel free.
