Ah yes, Nirvana
"I have very bad posture"
*Rocks out to Pennyroyal Tea*
Anything from In Utero or Nevermind is just, wow.

Before he died, at the show I went to, Cantrell played No Excuses and Man in the Box, it was great!

Knowing Layne died felt like having my best friend die. I grew up with their music. AIC was all I listened to before I discovered OLP in 95. I cried when I found out he died....which is a rarity for me

was anybody actually surprised when Layne died?

I like Nirvana, but I love Soundgarden. Chris Cornell is a frigging God. I also love Mother Love Bone. rip Andy.

someone sent me this stupid joke not long after Layne died:

Jesus upon meeting Layne Staley:
"Deny your Maker, huh?"

Kurt Cobain was a lyrical genius, some of them made you go :wtf: but I enjoyed their music. Then Courtney ho had to off him .. :crying:

See, I wasn't surprised to know Layne died. But to me it was like having my best friend slowly die from cancer, then just die on me. It really hurt, I idolized the man. The man was underrated because AIC didn't have one massive hit, but maybe 10 hits that everyone from that era knew. Meh, I loved the guy, I wish he would have sobered up and was touring for AIC right now. Cantrell doing AIC songs isn't just the same with that little man.

Kurt Cobain wasn't a lyrical genius, he was a musical genius. His lyrics were blah. He even said so himself. Anyone who openly declares that lyrics are a distant second to the music is probably not much of a lyricist.

well that's a matter of opinion I guess .. :nod:

wow... generally the exact opposite is the more accepted opinion on Kurt Cobain. I've never heard anyone describe Kurt as a "musical genius".

As good as he made it sound, I don't place the label of "musical genius" on people who use a guitar for bar chord after bar chord with insane distortion.

Lyricaly, he was good. The lyrics may have been "distant", but they still appealed to me.

^^ Me too :nod: Plus he had one of those voices too .. you usually knew without a doubt who it was right away when you heard a song on the radio .. not like today when you're thinking .. hmmm is that Creed or Nickleback or Puddle of Mud .. they all sound the same :freak:

I'm pretty sure I can tell the difference between Creed and Nickelback.

I really really like Nirvana... I really didn't know much of anything about them or their music until this year, when I met a total Nirvana freak. I started listening to it, and I really really like it. Good music!!
