re: Kurt Cobain sucked male appendages

Cornell's voice is amazing. I enjoy hearing him cover other songs. He knows how to change things up

I rest my case. They were pop and just more fluff for the radio stations.

I'm not sure how I feel about this statement. I think a lot of people who like grunge haven't explored much beyond the popular bands and the bands that were formed after the popular bands rose to prominence. Grunge music falls under a wide umbrella (Alice in Chains sounds nothing like Pearl Jam, who sound nothing like Nirvana. Hell, I really classify AiC as more of a metal band from Seattle), and lot of actual grunge music is absolutely unfit for the radio. Listening to Mudhoney, Green River, and Tad gives you a better example of the grunge sound, in my opinion.

But I think you can also see it as Cobain's knack for songwriting took a genre that was mostly unconsumable and made it fit for the masses, while still retaining a large part of what made it unique. I personally think that's something to be celebrated and not described as "fluff".

Now Foo Fighters. THAT'S fluff. They're the most bland, no salt added rock band I've ever heard.

Yea, how in the hell is he hitting those notes? Damn

The worst show I've ever gone to was the Goo Goo Dolls. John Rzeznik was wasted and couldn't remember lyrics or anything. It was awful

Back in the early 90s I went to a guns n roses concert that was miserable too

Rose was a prick like always, but the show was at the Birmingham Horsetrack. It was June or July so it was hotttt and the field was nothing but mud. It was just bad all of the way around. Rose acted like an arse and then the crowd got mad and someone hit him with mud. He went nuts and then stormed off the stage

Here is a write up about it. It's long but tells the story

The worst show I went to was at Riverport Amphitheater, St Louis

Guns and Roses

Axyl flipped out walked off stage he was bitching about a picture or a camera

Best show I've seen was Janet Jackson (Velvet Rope) or U2 Rattle and Hum

Kurt Cobain was a god.

Cobain is overrated as frick, you engulf male appendages

I saw 3DD in a bar on the Coast testing out stuff around 2002 it was a great set.

Cobain wasn't gay if that's what you're referring to with the thread title. Said he'd like to be gay just to piss people off but that was the extent of it

I love how the hipster crowd had adopted this "it's cool to hate on Kurt" bullshite. You know what Cobain's greatest contribution was? His humility. He recognized the luck of Nirvana's being adopted by the mainstream and used that platform to promote other lesser-known groups like the Meat Puppets, The Frogs, and others.

Get over yourself.
