What Happened To Nirvana?

[dude0552]

I sort of know that a member (not the drummer) had a drug addiction that killed him after he had therapy for it, but I don't know the details. And also, I want to see how many people like Nivana, so just vote below (or above, I don't know where the vote dialog goes).

 

[Roo6339]

well i can't stand nirvana... but yeah... there's two stories:

kurt cobain (singer/guitarist) had a heroine addiction. he overdosed and commited suicide by shooting himself with a shotgun.

courtney love (kurt's lover) murdered kurt while he was in overdose with a shotgun and made it look like suicide.

they're the basic stories. i don't really know which one is true, i don't really care.

Why not? And do you like the Foo Fighters?

 

[Links234]

Am I the only one that thinks they suck?

Tasteless joke alert; highlight to read:
What did Kurt Cobain say before he died?
"Hole's gonna be big"

But. Yeah, the drummer (Dave Grohl) is now the singer for the Foo Fighters.

 

[Mr.Pious]

Grohl fronts the foo fighters, plays drums for Queens of the Stoneage, played drums for Catpower, and is the new nin drummer.

I've never liked Nirvana (though I respect them), but I really like Foo Fighters.

Yeah, I like the Foo Fighters, too. Especially All My Life and My Hero.

And a question: Are song titles underlined or italicized?

 

[Z500]

i only heard them once, before i even heard death metal for the first time, and even then i thought they sucked

 

[feo]

I love Nirvana...
Not sure why...

... I just, sorta do. Hmm

Quoted, but if it's something like a classical piece, it's italicized.

I think Nirvana was a good band, but some people take their music too far in my opinion. For instance, I can see the beauty in Cobain's lyrics in certain songs. "Something in the Way", "Rape Me", and "Heart Shaped Box" are all very pretty. However, I don't see how people think that he was consistently genius.

There is a very good book titled Who Killed Kurt Cobain? I think that it is an enjoyable read.

I remember Nirvana being a hit back in middle school, and to say the least, they were great in my opinion. Too bad grunge rock died with Cobain...

 

[FlyerBoy]

I find Nirvana realy good. They are or i should say were the creaters of Grunge. They start in seattle, washington. So i heard a lot of weird stories after Cobain Killed him self. I live in Tacoma which isn't far from seattle. They had a huge memorial in seattle that my mom went to she used to love them. But any ways I like foo fighters too. but that kind of music is starting to become a past to me i have start to listening to more christian rock bands and encourage anyone who wants to know more about Jesus to go to the event called "Acquire The Fire".

You should check out all of the great grunge albums released after the death of Cobain. Cobain may have been the grunge icon that the popular media identified with, which could have led to a lack of interest in grunge bands after his death, but his death was certainly not the end of grunge music.

Very, very debatable.

Nice! You must be surrounded by good concert oppurtinities!

but that kind of music is starting to become a past to me i have start to listening to more christian rock bands and encourage anyone who wants to know more about Jesus to go to the event called "Acquire The Fire".

Why "must" you listen to more christian bands? I never attended Acquire the Fire in my youthful days, but I would be skeptical of such events that rely on emotional responses. If you feel the need to give up certain music, I encourage you to evaluate your motives and make sure that it is your decision and not something that you are led into.

 

[Roo6339]

Why not? And do you like the Foo Fighters?

there's something about their music that gives me a headache. i do love the song you know you're right though...

as for foo fighters, i find them extremely boring... just plain standard modern rock. just my opinion though...

 

[Qyöt27]

Very, very debatable.

Actually, I don't think it is very debatable. Most sites and music history essays I've seen on Grunge almost always cite Mudhoney as the originator of the style, and Nirvana as the ones who simply made it commercially successful (which is still important, but to give credit where credit is due).

As for my opinion, I like some of Nirvana's material, but I like other Grunge bands or Post-Grunge bands far more.

Mudhoney seems a little more hard rock than grunge to me.

I never heard that rumor about Courtney Love. I thought it was a proven O.D. and Suicide.
