I don't "hate" Kurt -- he's a local icon -- but I always thought he was severely overrrated. He's a crappy singer, a crappy songwriter, a crappy guitarist and was a crappy person who lived a crappy life. Suicide did not make him great. Record sales did not make him great. There are 1,250 singers in bar bands in your home town who have more talent and originality.
You're such a productive participant on PE, Jen. We are honored you are here to enlighten us.

Not sure why you would have to refer to him as a dead asshole.

You evidently know nothing about suicide or the depression some people go through. Grow up and get some intelligence. I didn't care that much for Cobain/Nirvana either.

I enjoy the cover a bit.Of course i am drunk as well.
I’ve said it before on this forum and I’ll say it again. Even though I was generally not much into the grunge thing, I still think “Nevermind” is one of the great rock n roll albums of the 90’s.

What a rotten thing to say. Why would you take the time and effort to post something this negative?
The word "hate" is an awfully strong reaction to someone or something that has no personal bearing on your own existence. That being said, I think that if your dead body goes undiscovered in your own home for three days, it's suffice to assume that no one truly cares about you.
sorry, but I like that version of that song. Never did like the original. I usually do like covers that don't sound like the original (no point in covering a song if you're gonna make it sound like the original). Has anyone else here read Love & Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain? Kurt's suicide note read more like a 'band breaking up" note than someone that was about to check out permanently.
I quite like that version and Nevermind is a great album.

I blame Wynton, what was the question?

Well said. Mr. Carlberg expressed my thoughts for me.

I hope the person that started this thread realizes that Kurt did a lot of drugs. So, you can imagine the state his was in. Also, from what I know about his life, he did not have a lot of helpful people in his life. I recently lost a good friend to suicide. So I don't appreciate the tone that the opening post took. So, I hope that the mods will put it's thread out of his misery.
Indeed, Nevermind is one of three albums (along with RHCP's BSSM and Neil's Ragged Glory) that got me back in rock after those dreaded 80's , which had seen me take refuge in 60's jazze and psych...
Ditto (though much of the excitement of the original version is lost)
Least of all the stupid slut he was fucking... or should I write that "fucked and screwed him up" >> At least Nancy had the grace of disappearing before Syd Vicious' death >> that Courtney cunt just used his suicide to become famous afterwards)
i'm not particularly pro Nirvana either.... but I really don't understand all that hate against Cobain... The man's a victim like Janis, Jim, Jimi, Bria, Nick etc....
Thread closing time 3.... 2..... 1.....
my music collection increased tenfolds when I switched from drug-addicts to complete nutcases.
It's no secret that I'm not a fan of Cobain nor Nirvana, but he was an uber-talented saint compared to Courtney Love.

I dislike flannel shirts.
Kurt was not a case of a spoiled rock star who let fame get to his head, took too many drugs, and got messed up. From what I've read, he had mental issues long before he became famous. The pressures of fame and getting together with that vampire Courntey Love didn't help him at all.
While Cobain certainly was no genius, he came up with some great riffs and catchy melodys. As someone who came of age in the 80s (graduated HS in 84, college in 88), I will be forever grateful for his part in putting an end to the sterile and plastic sound and culture of that decade. Yes, I know, he wasn't the only one or the first, but Nevermind blew everything up. And Nevermind is a great album.
I thought Syd killed her, or am I missing something?At least Nancy had the grace of disappearing before Syd Vicious' death ..
Well (from what I read on wiki), he was released before getting rearrested then got released again, and died of an overdose in his release party
Though he was a drug fiend well before his SP days, apparently it's the manager Nancy who made him take a hard dive...
Not that it matters much

Will Owsley comes to mind.
So why was Kurt called the John Lennon of his generation?
I suppose Daniel Johnston would be wildly famous and revered if he had given in to his mental illness, instead of persevering and being a beloved but living cult figure.
