The Official Nirvana/Kurt Cobain Thread (lyrics, alternative, fan, guitarist)

Amen to that.

Well Steve Albini said himself in an interview that he chooses what bands he produces. It's even in a link somewhere on the wikipedia website.

The way I heard it in an interview, is just that. Nirvana shot him the idea, and he thought it was a good one. I'm not going to quote anything....because.....why the hell does this really matter?
In Utero pwned. Period.

Too bad In Utero dragged down by an unnecessary bulk of moans and incoherent vocals, and constant depressive songs, as reflected in songs like Scentless Apprentice and All Apologies. I have nothing against bands who record music consisting of helplessness and dark tones. But this sort of thing was really more suited for bands like Joy Division and The Smiths... frankly, Kurt just couldn't execute songs with as quite much succession in Nevermind. And he still can't in this record, even though there is a sense of a little more effort.

First of all, the songs mentioned there are some of the best. Secondly, if Kurt were alive he would tell you he really could care less what you think it should have been, or who should have done it. The definition of a great band is someone who writes the music they feel like writing. Not writing about whatever the current fad is, or writing a certain way just to appeal to certain people.

EDIT: And with this last statement, I'm out.
As a friend of mine says...."Opinions are like *******s....everybody has one."

Hey, I agree that they rank high in the album too. But with that said, I still by all means hate them.

For a writer who wrote what he "felt like", he'd commonly criticize his songs afterwards. And he seemed to take his status seriously, regardless of what nature the reaction was. Loved by his fanbase as he may have been, many say that very same fanbase contributed in driving him to his suicide.

Word.

Plus there are many bands with more "incoherent" vocals than Nirvana... Such as Radiohead.

Also Untitled_00, if you're a black metal fan by any chance I'm gonna have to kick your ass.

Live and Unplugged in New York is great. I'm not fussed on the rest.

You should become more educated on a subject, before speaking about it.
As for his death, consult http://cobaincase.com

Haha, what an excellent Website. There are too many stories surrounding his death. I personally think it should be left alone.
