Nirvana

[hineyrulz]

How can any Foo Fighters fan rip on Nirvana???? Have you heard the generic sh*te they have been dishing up of late???? Kurt would be turning over in his Grave. Dave has become the very thing Kurt hated.

its no surprise its the metal heads who all trash Nirvana:roll:

"nirvana only use 3 chords"
"cobain can't do shredding guitar solos"
"dave grohl can't even do 16th note blast beats"

LOL grow up

:lol:

So I'm a little kid because Nirvana bore the f**k out of me, am I?

 

[HevyDevy]

lol I don't think i've seen any metal fans bagging Nirvana in this thread, like simmo said just Foo Fighters fans.

No no, I've definitely been bagging them - but only because they were crap.

 

[HevyDevy]

No, the original British invasion- stones, beatles, animals etc

Not the metal bands. Wouldn't have a clue about them!

I was more into the British stuff that came about just a bit after that - Zeppelin, Sabbath etc. and then the NWOBHM which was the likes of Leppard, Maiden etc.

I did like the Beatles of course, but only their later stuff. The early rubbish sh*ts me to tears.

For every bad grunge band....there were 10 worse metal bands.

 

[HevyDevy]

For every bad grunge band....there were 10 worse metal bands.

That's because there were/are about 1000x more metal bands than grunge band.

Not sure how that makes Nirvana any better.

I'm just saying, most people listen to nirvana because of the emotion, lyrics and melodies not for technical ability or how Br00tal it sounds, which is what a lot of metalhead solely judge music on.

Maybe the teenies, not the ones that genuinely love metal as a genre.

And let's face it, there is no genre more diverse than metal.

Anyway, yes I can understand the whole emotion, lyrics, melodies thing - that's what made AIC so great.

Just saying that I found Nirvana dull and uninspiring.There is no doubting their importance, though.

Well devvy.
I saw le roth with Vai playing guitar
Also saw Mick Jagger with Satch playing guitar.

funnily enough Nirvana who I also saw even without some freak guitarist blew ( pun intended ) the others away.
They did it with pure emotion , power and Dynamics......that fact that every song was great also helped.
Even Polly with its sparse guitars and virtually no drums at all had every single person in that joint singing along.
I would much rather that than some bloke singing ( if you could call it that ) in his scariest monster voice.

I saw Nirvana at the Phoenician Club in 92 - awesome show.

 

[Everlovin' Antichrist]

Never liked Nirvana, just not my cup of tea.

Well to be fair carch, I'm well aware of what music you listen to and it doesn't surprise me that a band you have always said you loved 'blew away' bands you've always admitted to not being fond of.

I just cannot immortalise or respect a dickhead that took a gun to his own head.

Nirvana had the widespread cultural relevance but I have always maintained that Pearl Jam were the finest examples of the genre labelled Grunge. But in terms of the most musically relevant bands of the 90s (that advanced the craft) it has to be Rage Against The Machine and Radiohead.

Nirvana will always top the lists that get published but the raw power of RATM, the sonic levels the pushed and the political text of revolution to me epitomise the stirrings of youth in the 90's

 

[Flapper]

I like Nirvana.

Doesn't mean I'll shoot myself, shoot myseeeeeyellllf

 

[kia ora storm]

Nirvana unplugged...the best of any unplugged concert.
