best band of all time

[HevyDevy]

... but has heard them

 

[carcharias]

there is a difference

I've seen Vai and Nirvana

 

[HevyDevy]

I've seen Vai too - different crowd obviously to the teen set at Nirvana, Amazing show. Not the best I've seen but it was quite impressive nonetheless.

 

[carcharias]

teen set?

you weren't there obviously.

There were more teeny boppers at the concert I saw Vai play.
He was playing for Lee Roth.

 

[HevyDevy]

Ahhh back in the good old days. I would have loved to have seen that Roth tour. I believe it was the Skyscraper tour when he came out.

I saw Vai when he played at Selinas about 7 years ago. No teeny-boppers there that night.

Anyway, I don't hate Nirvana - I just wonder how the least impressive of all the Seattle/grunge bands managed to become the most popular ... oh that's right, Kurt blew his brains out. Always a sure fire way to ensure musical immortality.

I wish I'd seen Alice in Chains play. That's one of my greatest regrets.

They were extremely famous before he did himself in.
That's just a stupid comment.


Skyscaper is probably right..I went with a mate who had a spare ticket.

He played heaps of covers from memory

 

[HevyDevy]

They were extremely famous but they became legendary once that happened.

Fact is: AIC, Soundgarden, Mudhoney, Mother Love Bone were all far superior bands.

As it turned out, Nirvana just happened to release the right song at the right time.

Oh well, sh*t happens. Good luck to them.

This latest chat has got me thinking ... I'll need to start a new thread.

 

[carcharias]

Nevermind was massive .
right song
right band
right everything

every song on nevermind is a classic.

and those other bands especially mudhoney can thank Nirvana for making them some money.

 

[HevyDevy]

Nirvana can thank Mudhoney for paving the way

 

[carcharias]

Nirvana can thank Mudhoney for paving the way

and they did...they were one of Cobains favourite bands.

Everyone made a lot of money off the back of teen spirit.

Crap seattle bands got signed all over the joint.

 

[HevyDevy]

Yeah they did, it became flavour of the month - a bit like that nu-metal crap.

Slipknot, Limp Bizkit, Linkin Park - God help us
