Did not miss anything, mainstream still sucks.

The music was great at the time, he was not.

And Nirvana had the same sound as every other band coming out of the northwest at the time, they were just the first to get signed and pushed into the mainstream. If it wasnt Nirvana, it would have just been some other band that looked and sounded the same as them.

Obeypabst spouts:
How many of those bands does anyone know the names of?? I mean hell, if it wasn't supposed to be Nirvana, then which one of those other no name hacks from back in the day would it have been?

I definatley ain't saying that Nirvana was the most talented band in the world, but one has to wonder how they made it big and all these other "bands" didn't make it big as well.......


Was it really just one of those being in the right place at the right time kinda things, or did they really have something that everyone would like and love??

Fuck you you worhtless piece of shit.


**is aware this may be tongue in cheek**

I miss Kurt but I have a daily reminder of him etched onto my body!

No, I didn't. I agreed that they too simply capitalized on the adolescent mind's gullibility.

Why don't YOU make a point from his lyrics then, if he was such a fucking brilliant mind? Not trying to make any converts here, but IMHO he sucked balls just like everyone else who came out at the time. Funny thing about people posting their opinions: They're opinions, which is why they're in the COMMENTS section.

Yeah, I have never given back anything to the world, except the dozen or so charity cases I have run as a performer. Not nearly the cash the heroin addict could have pulled, but there you have it. I'm SO selfish and shallow. You have me.

Oh, and that crowbar thing... I'd LOVE to see that attempt, personally. When they fill the bodybag with your cooling remains, you can mull over in the afterlife how that might not have been your best idea. Hell, you can go find Kurt and jerk off in his shadow! Might be the thing you really want after all, who knows?

Is that you Tom Cruise?

See, here's where yr trolling is most obvious. Someone could write a doctoral thesis on Kurt Cobain's lyrics and you'd dismiss it with a shrill, crass, snide bitchfest regardless of the value of the analysis, because all you want to do is piss people off. Do you get off on baiting people into dumb internet drama or something?

If this thread were a person, it would be the skeazy one in the dirty coat, gesticulating wildly and screaming at nothing, whom you'd cross the street to avoid.

Crosses road to avoid thread ...

masterfredrick:

not liking one's music is perfectly acceptable. it is after all, just opinion.
however, resorting to outright hostility and namecalling...what's the point? mad that Mr. Cobain fucked you and didn't give a reacharound? or call you back? seriously, with the level of emotion that you're displaying, makes me think that the dude came in your eye or something. sheesh. save your passion for a worthwhile cause, like some of those charities you support. don't waste it on this.

as for the possibility about an Iggy and Kurt pairing, i think it would be rad.

No, I just think that music can have more than three chords, more than absolute gibberish induced by excessive drug use.(Yes, I admit and accept that most of the musicians producing albums in the world today are using drugs, but rarely has the excessive use of said drugs been more apparent in music than with Cobain.) The only way you'd be able to use Cobain's lyrics in a doctoral thesis is if the thesis were on the impact of drugs on the creative mind. That's already been done: Dr. Seuss was one of the subjects studied.

And here's the funniest thing about your retort: You quote me, but you don't actually make good on what you quote. You tell me that someone could write a doctoral thesis on his lyrics, but you don't give ANYTHING resembling meaning for his lyrics. I was a fan of Nirvana, right up until MTV put out a version of the video for "Smells Like Teen Spirit" with the lyrics scrolling across the bottom of the screen. I then moved on to better things.

I'll leave it at this: In my opinion, Iggy Pop could easily do better in finding someone more talented and worthy of his time than Kurt Cobain.

there is a reason that Cobain is an icon today, he died before he had a string of shitty albums. take a look at elvis he became a sad joke of himself. how many bands continue on and release countless shitty albums. however look at music legends who died in their prime. jim morrison was going downhill took off and ods. jimi hendrix, bon scott, lynrd skynrd, the big bopper, buddy holly, ritchie valenz, hank williams. these are people that died from excess in their prime prior to becoming jokes that they eventually would become. go see the sisters of mercy or the who or robert plant or rod stewart or the king of wtf happened billy joel. kurt cobain did it right by following the secret music equasion die before you suck. some outlive this but many do not and it's better to burn out than to fade away as the song goes.

although cobain and iggy would have been interesting to say the least.

+1

Pointing out mistakes and stupid opinions in this thread is a bit easy, but I'm not sure how The Big Bopper, richie valens and Buddy Holly died "from excess in their prime" and I'm not sure how The Big Bopper and Richie Valens are "music legends," as their deaths are more famous than their music, for the most part.


Also, saying that Kurt is an icon because he died young, then pointing out that Elvis became a joke because of a bunch of shitty albums sort of disproves your point, as there is no icon bigger than Elvis despite his decline.

I'd also love to hear what masterpiratepants considers good music--and what he likes that isn't or wasn't aimed at a youth market, but I'm guessing I'd get more half-thought-out rantings about something unrelated to the subject.
