The Official Nirvana/Kurt Cobain Thread (singer, punk, rock, genre)

[Drifting_Angel]

I love Nirvana. Only started listening to them last year but man they rock!

Funny, I listened to the Foo Fighters before Nirvana...

Smells Like Teen Spirit s an awesome song... but after being able to play it I've become rather sick of it.

I have Nevermind, MTV Unplugged and The Greatest Hits.

Well, I have to say that Kurt died when i was 4, so i couldn't exactly have been a nirvana fan then. My mum won't even hear the name ;kurt cobain' without having a heart attack. She thinks he didn't deserve to live. I think that kurt cobain was one of the greatest musicians of our time, and he deserves our respect. Nirvana have been one of my favourite bands for about a year (the length in which i have been listening to rock music), and probably will be one of my favourite bands for life. Don't bag out the kids in Nirvana hoodies. It's not their fault they were only little kids when Nirvana died along with Kurt. It's just their way of showing their support for the scene.

I loved Nevermind, at the time, and still love it today. I was planning to go see Nirvana in concert when Kurt Cobain died and it still makes me irretrievably sad.

To be fair, I am a huge Beatles fan but wasn't even born when they were at the peak of their success. And many bands I love today I barely even noticed when they first came out. Fair play to the kids who are getting to love Nirvana now. Their music is still fresh, still amazing and still rocks.

i love nirvana... they are a great band..

I really like Nirvana, i wasn't around when they were large, and when kurt was alive, but now i reallyy like all their stuff. However, all that said, i do find the groupies who were the hoodies annoying, specially when they wear them just to be cool, that REALLY gets on my nerves! I suppose you could argue they are developing a sense of music... but they still annoy me, sorry!

to be fair i dont really listen to that much nirvana stuff, but what ive heard is good, and i like, my mates mad on them so tells me to "listen to this its kool" and they seem alright

[Thrice]

i like nirvana, i dont have their cd, but i did get the string version of it.

[Sleepsnekkid]

Ok, my friend Doogie-man had this really cool CD he got from a guy in MMA. All it consists of is classical covers of all of Nirvana's greatest songs. I know it sounds dorky, but it was so awesome to hear (especially while *ahem* under the weather).

If anyone has heard of this, or has it, could you plz tell me who its by, cuz I must have it, oh yes, I must.

Yeah, I know – they’re “grunge”. C’mon, “grunge” is just a lazy man’s way of saying ‘they’re from the Pacific Northwest’. While I can agree with Soundgarden and Pearl Jam being labeled “grunge”, I don't feel that Nirvana deserves the label. Nirvana’s sound, style and attitude is more fitting to the punk rock genre and, dammit, they contributed something positive to the music scene at a time when it was being ruled by the unoriginal, untalented ‘hair bands’ (Poison, Winger, Whitesnake, I’m talkin’ to you). For a few years, we had something exciting in the mainstream music world that was fresh and untainted by Corporate America. …and now the boy-bands, ‘debbie gibson’ clones, ‘rage against the machine’ clones and bubblegum pop-punksters rule the charts. God, I miss Kurt Cobain
