Ethan's posts no longer make sense.

oh yeh the other Nirvana

the original comment is no longer funny or witty within the context of this thread.

I know I've got an lp somewhere... I'll have to dig it out now.

What about the other Bush? We had BushX here in Canada.

Nirvana Live and Loud on MTV again?
 

do u guys think MTV should play Nirvana's Live and Loud concerta gain, as a change from all the rap crap they play nowadays? it would be nice i think, and it mite make me watch MTV again, so... whata u guys think? im 14 and i didnt jump on the nirvana bandwagon, i used to always make my parents play they're songs when i was little, and they're still my favorite band, i remember watchin live and loud when i was little

I certainly wouldn't mind. It would definitely improve my view of the music played on mtv.

granted they are only doing it for money, but hey. o well

^^^ they show it on vh1 classics sometimes

Which i believe is owned by MTV, or rather Viacom.

so, i never said it wasn't, but that channel rarely shows anything good it's mostly bland metal.

i used to like them
 

Just like you, I used to like them. Well ofcourse I still listen to their spngs occasionally but the feeling of enthusiasm is the same.

I love Nirvana... I'm only 16 years old, so I was only 2 years old when Kurt committed suicide. I guess that's where I differ from alot of you guys. Their music is still fresh and incredible to me. I only discovered them a few years ago and I love their music to death... And yes you might even find me wearing a Nirvana t-shirt from time to time.

Whats creepy that i just read in his journals today is... he talks about how everyone thinks hes a junkie. His response to that is "no im not, its not like im gona overdose and shoot myself in the head"

...and by that, you mean, "I was only two years old when Kurt faked his death to escape the corporate cluster**** that his music became."

That's the truth. After he faked his death he fled to a small suburb in western Pennsylvania where he assumed a new identity. Sure, he might look like a seventy-year-old woman, but I can assure you he's the real Kurt Cobain. Kurt, or "Martha," as he besieges me to call him, was responsible for grunge as well as Britpop, garage music, jazz, hip hop and most classical music. He's definitely a recluse, but that still doesn't lessen my appreciation for his enormous contribution to the musical universe. And to think there aren't people that worship him. Idiots.

Nirvana was the first band I loved as a kid. Kurt died before I got into them though, as I was only 8 when he died. I don't listen to them nearly as much as I use to, but I still find myself popping in In Utero or Live from New York every now and then. One thing is for sure, its disgusting how he's been made into a tool of the corporations he hated.

Oh, right. That's what I meant to say.... How could I have left that bit out? =D

God bless his loving wife Courtney, what a great gal, eh? Anyway, i'm 16 too and I first got into them about 2 years ago and my relationship with them is either 'i love them' or 'meh theyre ok'. Right now i'm at 'meh theyre ok', but my fav songs are 'sappy', 'verse chorus verse', 'breed', and and i never get tired of 'aneurysm'.

Strange. My favorite song of his is a Bowie cover. Really goes to show my appreciation for his music (or grunge in general)...

On a sidenote, my friend's band released a single entitled "Whatever Happened To Kris [Novoselic]?" I think he's a politician now. What a waste of life...

Aww come on, it's bad enough he has to live in Dave's shadow, plus he's fat and bald now. Their 'man who sold the world' cover was really good, I went out and bought that Bowie album after I heard their cover, I perfer Bowie's version.

I like Nirvana very much... except for the "Rape Me" single, that bored me. I really like Kurt Cobain's gutteral singing.

"You Know You're Right" is probably my favorite song of their's. That or "Lithium".

There will always be a place in my heart for Nirvana but I won't go out of my way to listen to them anymore.

I see them as band you need in your collection, and one to give props to for helping pioneer their music gene. But, their not a band that overly excites me.

Nevermind is, by law, an album you need to hear before you die. But I still think that they are a band that are admired more for what they could have and should have done, rather than what they had done already.

Nirvana..is probly one of my favorite bands..but see they kinda got overated when kurt died..so i like them because i know there messages just..not cause everyone else likes them..so yeah.

It's amazing that people still debate about a band thats been defunct for a solid decade. Nirvana catapulted grunge into the mainstream. Cobain couldn't handle his demons and killed himself. Music mourned, music moved on. Good stuff.

He Was Murdereddddddddddd!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

QFT.

I think they are great. Kurt never wanted them to go into mainstrem. and they stopped playing Smells like Teen Spirit in concerts because it was so mainstrem. and he was crushed when people thought we was a god..so yeah. just wanted to point that out.

Yeah how dare those bastards at Geffen FORCE him to sign a record contract , FORCE him to use a big name producer and FORCE him to write more commercial songs.

no comment

Alice in Chains are amazing Banonbush. You're musically deaf to not like Dirt!

Next thing you'll say is The Melvins or The Pixies aren't good.

----

On a different subject, Nirvana for me made great music that is really catchy, and I found it useful to play learning guitar, and the whole "Kurt Cobain muder theory" thing is very intruiging to me! But Nirvana only served as a gateway to alternative music.

Nirvana led me to better music from the Seattle scene, such as The Melvins, Pixies, Screaming Trees, L7 etc.

They did lead me also.

It's great how we can abuse mainstream to find the gems. :). By the way, you posted a signature earlier that didn't include Buzz Osbourne or Frank Black in the top 5 forefathers of grunge.

Do you know of them or did you purposely ignore them. (This is by no means meant in a hostile way, I just don't see how two huge names for grunge and alternative were left out.)

Buzz Osbourne..is the Bassist for Melvins..and i forgot all about him..lol. and i dont know Frank Black.

BUZZ OSBOURNE IS THE LEAD SINGER AND GUITARIST FOR THE MELVINS!!!

How could you not know that! :o

And Frank Black was lead singer/guitarist for The Pixies! A band Kurt Cobain always cited as one of his biggest influences, the pixies inventing the 'loud, quiet, loud' musical arrangement.

oh my bad :( then who is the bassist.
oh...

The bassist position has been a revolving door since their inception. But right now it's jared Warren, who is in Big Business with Coady.

I asked Buzz last night why they had two drummers, and he said its because they wanted Jared as bass, but took Coady too because he's an awesome drummer.

I know it seems unlikely. But no band or musician before them as far as I can see played loud verse quiet chorus, or vice versa... It's what I've seen on documentaries... but it's something I will believe until proven wrong.

you know..them?

No. I met them last night at a gig. I was one of three people who met them all. If you look at my avatar, that's me WITH Buzz.

If you look at my signature, that's me with Dale.

The other two people to meet them were my band manager and my bassist.

I got my albums signed, and a drumstick. It was sweet :)

haha awesome
