My problem is that he got all this respect because he KILLED HIMSELF. This music is awesome because he was this depressed guy to most people.

**** that man.

Any man who can cover David Bowie, the Meat Puppets, and Ledbelly in one set, and be an Abba and Beatles fan at the same moment commands some respect, though.



I think the way he went was meant to be quiet, but blew up (No pun intended :thumb: ), making him into a martyr.

Well see, I can't stand the people that go "I'm going to marry Kurt Cobain's clone" (true quote) and "It's better that he killed himself" (true quote by a fan) and "I can connect with his music so much, I know just how he felt" (another quote) and "Because I read his book or whatever I felt bad because I didn't interpret his songs correctly, so I went back and memorized all how he felt they should be interpreted cuz it made him so mad" (true quote).

etc etc

I love nirvana, anyone my age would understand why. Music was just so bad before they hit. Winger, **** Yankees,etc YUCK! Thank you nirvana

Then again, he did mean for it to be a big deal, he was such an egotist. He really was a disgusting person, morally, mentally, and physically.

And Those people are dumbasses.

Indeed. But see, almost every girl I know is like that. Only one girl shares my views, and she recently started playing guitar (though she wants a bass).

I've gotten to dread talking about music outside of MX.

The only thing I don't like about her is that she doesn't like Primus. :angry:

There's only one person at school that likes Primus other than me that I know of.

I accidentally let my like of Dream Theater and Primus rub off onto a few of my friends. One of them is an ******* about music now. In a thread in the Rock and Metal forum, he posted

"Yeah, I don't see why my friends like the Red Hot Chili Peppers and a few other bands. I'm into more technically difficult stuff, like Dream Theater and Rush and Pink Floyd."

They are not well liked outside the bass community. I think more than anything the singing turns most people off.

RHCP not technically difficult?

Any of you two ever listen to Toad the Wet Sprocket?

Nope...

I dont like nirvana at all. They reinvented in some way grunge, but musically its quite poor. I dont think Kurt Cobain was a genious.

[QUOTE=jamesr]RHCP not technically difficult?[/QUOTE]

The worst is that this kid judges songs by their technically difficulty. Even worse still, he has trouble playing Smells Like Teen Spirit (he's a guitarist).

I don't think they're AMAZING (maybe amazing for their time period) but I'd rather listen to them than ton of the modern swill you have today.

Tell him to look at under the bridge if he doesn't think the peppers are technical on guitar. That song is a bitc h to play.

who listens to a song for technicality. thats so boring. some people are not meant for music

[QUOTE=jamesr]Tell him to look at under the bridge if he doesn't think the peppers are technical on guitar. That song is a bitc h to play.[/QUOTE]

I learned it the other day and that song is GENIUS. I think the only reason I didn't have too much problem learning is that I've been messing around with a classical style playing on bass a lot recently.

He was a musical genius, but not in the way I believe you mean it. He wanted money, thus he wrote songs to be extremely catchy, and to bring in listeners, not to be technical beyond all reason.

Wow, a lot of noobs creating threads today.

how do mx. im of to bed soon

Ahahaha best day ever.

Why?

Shush.

I want it to be the best day ever and therefore it is. :angry:

if it was the best day ever wed all receve free custom made alemblics in the post tho. as that hasnt hapend it cant be the best day ever

Alembics = Overrated

:p

Man oh man, is it all of a sudden hip to dis Nirvana/Kurt Cobain :rolleyes:
I honestly don't care too much about this debate but please don't say that his music was made for money. I don't believe at any point was that the idea(Picking Steve Albini as the producer of In Utero should be enough proof).
On a more personal note, anyone that has/had the Meat Puppets as one of his favorite bands deserves to be talked about with some respect. this'll be the end of my rant.

He deserves it in some places, and not in others.
