"Cobain was the beginning of the whole emo- thing"
NO!
He was happy. He said this many times.
The song "I Hate Myself and I Want to Die" was a sarcastic jab at emos!
Sadly, some people did not get the joke.
Courtney killed him. |

I like the music, even if it's not of "my generation"
As for Kurt... I'm guessing a chemical imbalance which can depress people. It's sad when people have children and kill themselves, though. I'd call him selfish, but I don't know what the exact circumstances were.... Wish he had sought help instead of offing himself (he didn't as far as I know) |

I remember clearly, I was 15. All my friends loved Nirvana but i didn't care that much for them. When he died everyone wore a t- shirt saying "I hate my self and I want to die" and a picture of Curt on it. Always thought that was lame. Never cared much for emo's. Cobain was the beginning of the whole emo- thing and frankly I never found this message interesting. Bill Hicks, while talking pop culture once "blew his brains out" on stage, stating that he wanted to see some emotions from the artist. Play from your f*in hearts! So Cobain did it. The first and last emo; and ever since kids have died their hair purple and boys have been wearing mascara. Still, the whole grunge scene is for late hipsters in their mid 30's with a bachelor in anthropology and a part time job at a radio station with 300 listeners. Now THAT'S depressing! |

"Is he still important?"
Really fancy.. Really?
It's like asking that of any of the legends of music.. He literally changed the way music is portrayed to this day...
And to top it all off.. He thought it was all a f'n joke the whole time...
His legend will never die!!

"best thing he ever did was free up david grohl for foo fighters."
Hey dickwart.
You do realize that Kurt Cobain inspired Grohl to form Foo right?
If it weren't for that inspiration, Dave would have kept drumming for Scream, and faded away. |

I was 13. I remember it vividly. He changed the face of music. He will always be known for being responsible for grunge. Music would not be the same, today, if Kurt wouldn't have existed.
And I also agree that Courtney is behind his death. |

Courtney killed him. Please note the much larger writing at the bottom of this 'note' and how different the handwriting is. |

@razbitom
the reason queensryche made it to MTV is because of Silent Lucidity, it was enough of a crossover song to be played on MTV. They werent going to change the style of music with it. They are a good band, but it was time for a change and the grunge filled the void that a lot of people were feeling. I was a teenager when grunge "took over" and a skater (before being a skater was cool and embraced with parks and such, lol). It was exactly the music that fit my and my friends lifestyle at the time.
It doesnt fit me anymore, i listen to mostly coheed and cambria, but at that point in my life it was exactly the music i wanted to be there.
hope that makes sense. |

I was 4 years old and didn't even know who Nirvana was.. I found out about 12 years later.. and didn't know he was in the group until about a year ago.... I don't listen to a lot of music @_@ |

and I still don't care. his music was only considered talanted because of the lack of true talent in music today. his lyrics were poo and made no sense, not even in an artful metaphoric way and the band knew THREE power chords and that was it.
yes i said it, they were poo and to say otherwise is delusional. |

Vastly overrated. How can you call someone who could barely play his instrument a great musician? Hell, I remember reading an article in (I think) Guitar Player magazine that he couldn't even tune his guitar. May or may not be true, but given his lack of playing skill, I can believe it.
Oh, and this is why you don't do heroin, kids. |

i hated the bastard.
prog metal was finally getting into the public eye, especially with queensryche appearing on mtv and such. my hometown had several great prog bands and we were all excited to finally have a chance and wham bam along come nirvana and that eddie vedder group and submarines us all with "grunge"... talentless noise played at heroin speeds.
drat him. best thing he ever did was free up david grohl for foo fighters. |
