Bloody hell its things like this that make me feel old!
My son got a nirvana top last year and we said ‘what’s your favourite track?’ He said ‘what?’ Turns out he just liked their t shirt and didn’t know they were one of the most awesome bands! He had an education that day.
RIP kurt.

Jesus. Sad sad tale. Even sadder than Hole getting even a short music career out of it. RIP Kurt. Your music still stands the test of time and always will. Good reminder that even the most seemingly successful of souls can mask some deep rooted pain that can potentially overcome our own strengths. |

While Kurt's story is sad I've never understood the legacy nirvana left. The 2nd times I saw they were positively underwhelming, there were many better bands around at that tine |

There where a lot of truly amazing bands around at that time agreed. Nirvana just seemed to establish those connections with a crowd that where tired of the similar sounding music of the era. Right tone right time kind of thing. Exactly why the Beatles exploded.
Music's all subjective anyway, except Bieber. Bieber should die.  |

Well the Beatles are another example of mediocrity bit i digress... Nirvana lucked out because however alternative they claimed to be Nevermind and everything that followed was radio friendly and corporate friendly. I suspect Cobain knew that which is what makes his failing to deal with it all the more heartbreaking.
Your Bieber comment is vile. But I'm bored so why do you think he should die? Or if you don't do you not think it's a bit pathetic saying that just to try and appear edgy and dangerous? |

But if Kurt hadn’t of died, would they still be as relevant? I mean they were awesome but I do wonder if their popularity is like it is, is because Kurt died.

Nah dont need to appear anything on here. Edgy and dangerous isnt really a need for me. Obviously I wouldn't encourage somebody to actually die due to their musical ability or my musical taste. Comment was designed to indicate my distaste for oversaturated, media hyped bull shit music. The death of another human is never usually something to be celebrated. A poke at humour which is again, subjective. Some people will raise a chuckle and smile, some wont. Others will take the opportunity to pull me for it. Take what you will from the attempt at subjective humour. I care not. |

"Unplugged in New York ...
Need I say more
Awesome live album! I remember watching it on the day on MTV ,just incredible "
Static magnetism they had. Didnt really need to be active but had the audience drawn in straight from the off. I do link a lot of my burgeoning musical taste of the time to Nirvana |

Pixies. Sonic youth. James addiction. All were far better live and had far more originality in their recordings. Others such as Mudhoney and Dinosaur Jnr were far better live possibly because they looked like they were enjoying it. |

Choice of gun, other person stating been offered money to kill him, violent manner of death.....theres loads of conspiracy theories abound too about it. Think the sad thing is he was just failed by numerous people around him  |

Preferred Mudhoney to be honest, but you can't deny what Nirvana did for the alternative music scene.
Negative Creep being my fave Nirvana song (probably). |

Kurt never liked how Nevermind was produced, was way to commercial for him. He reacted against it with In Utero. Nirvana had great pop songs, they captured the zeitgeist at the right time and became huge, I was never a fan at the time though, wasn’t my scene. I was always more baffled with how big Pearl Jam were though, but I could see why Nirvana were big, they had great songs and that always tops everything. |

Despite the odd poster claiming there were much better bands of the genre around at the time , I recall the mtv unplugged concert and that blew my mind . After that I got right into them , and of course teen spirit opened them up to the mainstream . Lithium was a particularly memorable track , deep and meaningful with an insight into his mind .
So whether the odd person thinks they were over rated , I think he was a truly memorable icon of the era , and will never be forgotten . A rare talent and a great loss . |

Wasnt suggesting Nirvana were over-rated - perhaps more so than Mudhoney were under-rated? |

London/Essex... ish... Romford to be exact |
Kurt did take a lot of influences from other bands /songs to the point some claim he was a thief. He was caught between wanting credibility and wanting to be a commercial success. He was a bit of an arsehole if you believe some accounts from those close to him. But he was the poster boy for a disillusioned generation because he was able to bring together all these elements to bring the ethos of grunge to the masses. Plus their songs have catchy melodies. |

I'd agree. Grunge quickly became bloated and boring.
First time I heard Smells... I was at the Camden Palace tipping off my tits, looked over the balcony and saw this swarming mass of folk going crazy to this anthem for doomed youth. I was sucked in from that moment.

Not only that, but bloody Eddie Vedder's voice/vocal style... The number of bad imitators (Counting Crows the worst offenders but there were loads that ripped Vedder's 'hurr-hurr ha ho' extra syllables in every word kinda thing. |

Was a sad day when he left us ,
He and his band changes the world of acceptable music on main stream radio play and opened there door for a more rock/punk based music to become more popular |

"If he never blew his head off 25 years ago he'd still be dead by now."
Maybe. The thing about being a mega successful rock star is that you could survive the kind of lifestyle choices that would send a regular person into unemployment, homelessness and a fairly quick death. Look at the likes of Keith Richards, Anthony Kiedis, Nikki Sixx etc etc. Rock, and especially American rock music seems to be fuelled by heroin. Kinda grim really. |

Ooooooh controversial dash"
.
Not as controversial as you think neither band really enjoyed mass mainstream success.
Unless you listen to radio 6  you probably wouldn't hear a song by either of them in a year. |

This thread is full of music snobs, because they were successful. If they had no success you would be hailing them as a great band, I think their success was justified, all these other bands that are mentioned simply didn’t have the songs, or if they did they hide the songs under lo fi recordings with no ambition. |

Nevermind was the soundtrack to my formative years.
Use to drink in a biker pub, in Shrewsbury, and every Saturday, get pints, and immediately put the whole album on the jukebox.
Nevermind, Hendrix and the Stones.
It really was a shock when he died.
Like the day the Pixies split.
End of an era.

I find it laughable that not liking a popular band makes someone a music snob.  The bands I mentioned earlier all had huge success so I don't see how you can play the "if they had success" card...
So to go back to my earlier references are you honestly saying Pixies and Janes Addiction "didn't have the songs"? |

I couldn't give a fudge about their success.
I remember the first time I heard them. Well, saw them, actually. Friday night, on the Tube.
And when they played I thought " Fuck! That was amazing".
All the hairs on the back of my neck stood up, like it does, time to time, when you hear something amazing, like Mozart, or Charlie Parker. And I thought, shit. That was something special.
It's not about being a snob. Or being popular. It's about my personal experience. And for me, dude, they rocked.
That is all. |

Im still a massive Nirvana fan and only wish I could hear the music Kurt would have gone on to make or still be making. Given that he was freinds with the likes of Dylan Carson and the Melvins, amongst other legends, one can imagine the beautiful noise that could have been created. RIP KC |

I remember leaving the cinema after watching the commitments (remember that??) getting the bus home. On the bus loads of older teens/youngadults and someone had smells like teen spirit playing on their stereo. Really interesting to be part of this 'hive like' movement of everyone nodding their head to the music.... I always smile when I think of that on the number 88.

I love The Stone Roses and Alice in Chains. I think Radiohead are utter shite. Musical preference is obviously entirely subjective.

"Nirvana were very overrated,just like stone roses, utter shite, give me mudhoney or Alice in chains anyday
I wouldn't agree. They were good at what they did at the time
I wouldn't agree with you,they weren't good, in fact it was shit, there were far better bands around at the same time,I don't know why the music industry choose them to be the next best thing but they did
This thread is full of music snobs, because they were successful. If they had no success you would be hailing them as a great band, I think their success was justified, all these other bands that are mentioned simply didn’t have the songs, or if they did they hide the songs under lo fi recordings with no ambition.
So we agree to disagree then?
Guess we do Dash, guess we do. "

"Despite the odd poster claiming there were much better bands of the genre around at the time , I recall the mtv unplugged concert and that blew my mind . After that I got right into them , and of course teen spirit opened them up to the mainstream . Lithium was a particularly memorable track , deep and meaningful with an insight into his mind .
So whether the odd person thinks they were over rated , I think he was a truly memorable icon of the era , and will never be forgotten . A rare talent and a great loss .
Wasnt suggesting Nirvana were over-rated - perhaps more so than Mudhoney were under-rated?
Wasn’t meaning you
Yep. Multiple posters express the opinion tvat nirvana were over-rated and yet you only disagree with one of them..."
I didn’t realise there was a forum rule that meant I had to disagree with everyone who expresses an opinion that differs from mine .
Since there are multiple posters that think nirvana were over rated and I’ve only told one that it wasn’t him I meant , I guess you’ll never know who I did mean then . |

Any of you who were around to remember the grunge scene the first time round ever hear a band called 'Mindfunk' (actually Mindfuck but you can't sell albums with a 'profane' name apparently)?
They only ever did three albums in their career but they had quite a unique take on the Grunge sound, bringing in psychedelic rock and funk metal aesthetics. Massively underrated at the time but one of the best bands of the era for me... /musicsnob |

Don't think so? Long hair yes, glam not that I recall... What album was it? Maybe they did a Pantera and started out trying to catch that scene but did a cheeky reinvent and came back looking and sounding meaner... |

I remember the day Cobain died. I was an avid MTV fan and knew Unplugged word for word so I was saddened but didn’t really know Nirvana beyond that. I remember trying to get into their music but meh, it just never was for me. I definitely was in the minority as they became very fashionable for the angsty teens that were my peers.
25 years though? Wow! |

"Why its my personal views i never asked anybody to agree !"
maybe it was the best thing he did comment fair enough you didn’t like his music but to say it was a good thing he killed him self probably a bit on the harsh side

Anyway he was too smacked out of his head to shoot him self in the mouth i've watched about 3/4 documenters on it over the years, They say the position he was in was impossible ?

" I was always more baffled with how big Pearl Jam were though, but I could see why Nirvana were big, they had great songs and that always tops everything.
Not only that, but bloody Eddie Vedder's voice/vocal style... The number of bad imitators (Counting Crows the worst offenders but there were loads that ripped Vedder's 'hurr-hurr ha ho' extra syllables in every word kinda thing. "
Personally, I've always found Adam Duritz' voice incredibly haunting with a sound that moves me even when I have no fucking clue what he's on about.
As for Nirvana, I'm sure they'd have stayed relevant, as long as Cobain and Grohl had found a way to write together. Imagine what those two working together at their peak could have produced. |
