السلام عليكم
I searched and shockingly didn't find any results, this is my first post in NEMD so maybe I'm missing something although I read the guidelines.

This thread is for all my fellow Kurt Cobain fans!

Something in the Way is probably my favorite song he wrote, but I like many others.

Surely I'm not the only Kurt Cobain fan!!! Post anything Cobain related here including, but not limited to: favorite songs, live concerts you attended, least-favorite songs, influences, etc.

I'll start, my favorite is Something In The Way
I just really connect and relate to it, you will be missed so much Kurt Cobain, you just have absolutely no idea how much this world needed you.
 
In grunge? The Melvins of course.
I just hate the way the people (I don't know if it's just the younger generation or not) idolizes and overrates Cobain.
 
Despite my name, I've never been a big Nirvana fan. Then again, I wasn't around to hear them in their heyday after the musical black hole that was the 80s. In hindsight, their music is catchy and 'raw', but not especially inventive.

(I think its kinda funny that the first two people to post in this thread aren't Nirvana fans...it seems like some sort of statistical anomaly =D)
 
I was a huge Nirvana fan in my youth and I was gui;ty of idolizing cobain all the way down to his love of heroin. These days I respect there mmusic but I have heard all the songs so many times that
I just dont care tp listen that much. I will still put on there mtv unplugged album when the mood strikes me.
 
its funny, i put on nevermind the other day in the car and it brough back all kinds of memories of my teenage years. i remember in our drama club every week we would all have a big mosh to some full volume smells like teen spirit. good times.

but still, i think they were a great band that stands the test of time. they were great songwriters and musicians with style.
 
i'm not down with anyone who kills themselves, it's a bitch move and plus it hurts everyone around them. i know if i od'd or something my family and some of my friends would never recover. fuck kurt.
 
I love Nirvana.
Favorite songs are probably, Breed, Dive, Lithium, Stain, Serve the Servants, and Heart-Shaped Box. Obviously Teen Spirit holds a special place in my heart. I'm too young to be able to have attended a show.

Music sorely needed him, and we ended up getting his message all mixed up, leading to his frustration that eventually drove him to to take his own life.
 
i think nirvana do have their moments, their first album is decent, and heart-shaped box is a good song. that being said i think they're overrated to an extent i can't even put in words.
also, who the fuck are you to judge people for killing themselves? you think he did it for fucking fun? suicide is obviously an extreme (and extremely permanent) solution, but whatever mental state he was in, i'd bet my left nutsack on it that it was excruciatingly miserable.

Click to expand...

Even I admit, that they were overrated to a ludicrous proportion. They were great, but not as great as the hype that surrounded them.

How can u judge someone for killing themselves? I have been in that place in my head so dark I believed my beautiful baby son would be better off wiv me dead - I am glad now and grateful to the doctors who worked bloody hard to save my life, but back then I was devastated I hadn't been left to die.
Anyway, yup, like nirvana n kurt - fave song probs lithium if I really ad 2 choose.
Though I am, in my heart of hearts a madchester gal - u fellow brits old enuff 2 remember n young enuff 2 appreciate the 90's will no the score.
 
yeah man, only fucking sellouts shoot themselves.

He finally realized he was a total fucking poser that entire time, only thing left to do is eat a shotgun. I guess I kind of respect him for realizing he didn't deserve to live.
 
Grunge music started as a result of Heavy Metal music basically being dated in the mid-80's. Hair Metal and all that crap was getting huge, so bands like Green River and Soundgarden started writing music that was similar to fashion to the Punk movement of the early 70's. Kurt, being apart of this movement, made music in a sense for himself and not so much to make money. It was for enjoyment. The album Bleach was made on something like a $500 budget. When Grunge blew up, he became exactly what he set out not to become, which was this huge pop icon. He had a lot of problems to begin with, this on top of the realization of being exactly who he never wanted to be resulted in him killing himself.

I know a lot of people say he didn't kill himself, but it's one of those things we'll never know for sure. I personally think he offed himself. It's what I choose to believe. Quite frankly I don't care, I never knew the guy, but he wrote some pretty killer music. Bleach is the only Nirvana album I really care much about though. I've always been more of Soundgarden and Alice In Chains fan

And let's not forget, Temple Of The Dog. Though, I don't care for Pearl Jam either, they did damn well with Chris Cornell on vocals.
 
Muvolution-Damn...Kurt Cobain still stirs up childish shit in lots of people apparently....get the fuck over the whole suicide thing...it's clearly beyond your comprehension. You people wouldn't talk about astrophysics like you'd have any valid opinion on it, so what are you talking about this for?
 
Have you read the shit he wrote towards the end of his life? He hated what he had become so he offed himself.

I agree he made some good music, but people want to see it in some kind of tragic, heroic light, and it isn't. No amount of good music or fame or money is worth giving your life for. I have nothing against people who live how they want to live and end up taking their own lives, but that is diffirent.
