What a load of bollox, the guy was a fake and a phony, hismusic was specificaly aimed at young teenagers, Nirvana killed the Seattle scene with their mediocre music, i suggest you get your ears tested

I suggest you have a look outside the narrow musical sphere you inhabit. In the real world Nirvana are the only Seattle band that matters. They changed music in a way the others simply didn't.

I've said before, the metal snobbery towards Nirvana is quite odd. I think a lot in the metal scene simply resented their success.

Cobain and Nirvana were brilliant live on the Nevermind tour (I saw them along with about 200 others at Bradford Uni). Dave Grohl was, well, just the drummer. I can tell you for a fact that the gig I went to was before any Cobain hype because when they came on stage nobody recognised them at all. They looked like roadies.

If you haven't seen it, take a look at this video/DVD sometime. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1991:_The_Year_Punk_Broke Filmed before the release of Nevermind, with Sonic Youth getting most of the airtime, but a fair bit of Nirvana too.

You sound like the sort of person who is so far up their own that you probably hold a grudge against anyone who is not " pure".

Next you will be telling us Bob Dylan does not deserves praise because he sold out by going electric

Sorry if its slightly off message but Danny Jones[/size

, you have no idea how vast the vastness of my musical taste is, i suggest it is you that inhabit a narrow musical spere, ooh you saw them at Bradford uni, big whoopedy doo, i had the misfortune to see them in Seattle, Tad blew them away

if that is so then please explain why i own his entire back catalogue?

And there you go. Tad. FFS. And repeating some story of how Cobain acted in a studio. Were you there? Outside whatever 'wide' world of music you inhabit nobody cares about Tad, Soundgarden or anybody else from Seattle - including me and I used to have albums from those and many others of their ilk.

Like I said, the snobbery towards Nirvana is quite unfathomable. I can only put it down to the fact that they were successful. I have several mates who were big into the Indie scene and used to drop bands like a stone once more than a phone-booth full of people had heard of them. Music snobbery is as dull as any other kind.

All I go by nowadays is what music sounds like to me. I find the world of music far more interesting as a result.

So because a person has never liked a certain band through whatever reason then they are a music snob, wow, you state that "All I go by nowadays is what music sounds like to me. I find the world of music far more interesting as a result.", that is all i have ever done so how is that snobbery?

Yeh I'll do it at the same time as the hearing challenged Rock n roll Hall of Fame panel that inducted Cobain. The world will forever regret that YOU were not there to tell them the TROOF (which is known only to you) and stop that travesty. Although even if you had been, I doubt there'd have been enough time to drag you back out of your own arrse, you're that far up it.

How do you bear the burden of being the only person on the planet who knows the TROOF?

If that is all you have done, why have your posts contained so much about Cobain being a fake and a phony, his attitudes towards fans, what he may or may not have gotten up to with groupies, and a recommendation for people to do some research? If all you go by is what the music sounds like, why is Cobain's image and behaviour of so much interest to you, and why would anyone need to do any more research than to listen to the songs?

I can understand if someone says they dont like Nirvana's music but to claim they werent very good is just laughable. They may not have been the most technical band but their music captured emotion and the world lapped it up. Compare them to todays one chord indie bands, of which a new one pops up every minute of every day and they are lightyears ahead.

Maybe i have formed my own opinion on him due to the facts that are out there unlike the sheep that believe he is godlike, that is all, thanks

Fair enough
