Started by cocaine boy in Chit-Chat

i hope one day i would have the chance to meet him on the other side. he was a new miracle in music scene but he was also a man like everyone else. especially, i like his lyrics and i listen to his great songs every time if i have this opportunity.

sympathy for kurt and what he left behind…

Yeah, I can still remember it very well. I came home from a great show by ALL, one of my fave bands ever, turned on the tv and was shocked to read the news. I already had tickets for the upcoming shows at the end of that month.

If you read the link i posted it says The coroner found that Kurt Cobain had died on 5 April. His body was discovered on the 8th.

I’m afraid I can’t agree with you…He’s not on music magazines every month… the only reason this month is because of his death I hardly ever see him in other magazines any other time of the year… And the only reason we’re talking about it cos its the anniversiry of his death.:mad: pay some respect!!!!

So any fucking junkie can write songs as good as those on Nevermind and In Utero(and there were some good songs on Bleach as well)…yeah right!

I’m just saying he wasn’t all that…Was never a Nirvana fan and never understood why people were so in awe about them.They wrote pop songs that appealed to alot of people and they came at a time when there needed to be a change and people latched onto them.they were an average band that made it huge.Life savers to a crowd that wanted something different and would run with anything that was outta the norm.The one good thing about them though was they killed hair metal(thank god!)I was a little older at the time to fall for it.

sorry im not trying to be picky (well actually as im female i am) but if they came at the right time, created change and people loved them…whats the problem…they served their purpose very well…i dread to think about what would have happened without the movement that they contributed to…remember rave? it died a death here for a reason…it was crap…nirvana while not the tightest, most perfect band ever were not…my humble opinion :rolleyes:…

I rember that I came home from school and heard the news. Before that i was always laughing, smiling, other words for expressing happiness, but after that day, i started to think about the bad stuf that can happen to you. I was a lot less cheerful. I know, corny story, but there are some moments in life when you realise it’s not going to be like this forever.

I agree with Sonof…

Sorry, but Nirvana simply weren’t a great band - a few good songs and one smash hit - and if you look at Teen Spirit honestly, you see what a formulaic song it really is, fun though it is.

Fair play that people wish he wasn’t dead and that people genuinely like the guy but please don’t paint him as some genius or saviour of music, because that simply isn’t true.

I remember the day that day well. MTV had Phil Collins on all weekend and they had newsflashes every hours. Oddly enoug, I was playing T?’s Troublegum album. Iwas numb when they said that he died from a gun shot wound, a few days before.

I’m sort of in the middle of a lot of you.

On one hand I think he was a great artist and his death was sad and a shame. But I also think after he died people made him out to more than he (and Nirvana), and it got quite annoying. No doubt, he was talented,but Nirvana had peaked with Nevermind and was on the slide since and was pretty much done by the time he died. And at the time of his death Nirvana was already surpassed by Pearl Jam and Soundgarden. But once he died it was like he was Jesus or something.

What’s even sadder was others didn’t pay attention to his example…Lane Staley comes to mind.

ok.. you’re not alone..
i wouldnt say it with your words.. but i think (in a way) the same… i cant understand the nirvana hype some years ago… i mean they werent sooo great.. a few songs are ok, but they dont mean that much too me… still there were other great bands which no one ever knew or got know to up to know…

exapmle: why does no magazin/music channel care about freddie mercury (stop laughing at that point!!!) ok i like queen.. (a bit more when i was younger) but hasnt this man deserve as much as nirvana do?.. ok they are not that what teenies/younger people normally listen to.. but i was always dissapointed when his death-day was and none of those fucking channels or magazines wrote/broadcasted anything…

its not that i hate nirvana.. but me thinks they are a bit overrated.. just my personal opinion…

I couldn’t agree more!

And , just for the record, Queen were a fantastic band and much better than Nirvana, in my opinion.

I think Therapy? do the whole “angry-noise-with-a-sensitive-undercarriage” thing much better than Nirvana ever could have done.

Yeah - Divers, we must be about the same age or something cause thats kinda what I though & felt. Nirvana were one of the first bands (along with Guns N Roses and Metallica) that I really fucking loved. When I was getting into them I was 12-13 years old and when Kurt died I was 15.

Up until hearing Nirvana I had absolutely no interest in music as I hadn’t really heard anything that I liked. For me personally - Nirvana were a very pivotal band - and I was very sorry and saddened when it ended the way it did.

If it wasn’t for Nirvana, I think my life would be very different. Dunno whether it’d be for better or for worse, but different. For that reason alone I’d have to say they were a great band that spoke to a lot of people.

I didn’t get into them until a couple of years after he died though, so I can’t really relate to the anniversary, but the people in my school who were affected the most soon got into happy hardcore or whatever the latest fad was a few weeks later :rolleyes:

And anyone who thinks Nirvana were a shit overrated pop band do yourself a favour and stick on In Utero right now at full blast :cool:

I grew up on Queen so yeah Freddies death was more personal to me and he was a much better entertainer.He enjoyed life and he enjoyed his fans.If there was a dark streak about him it was not shown.I understand when the young kids at the time took to Nirvana but to be in your 20’s and 30’s at the time thinking he was the savior of rock and thinking he was cool as shit was just pitiful.My opinion so…
