Mine was deleted and all I was trying to say was I thought he would've gone to sh!t if he was still alive. Just because I tried to put some humour with it, Are my thoughts not valid?

Big3 must have felt that you were just trying to start crap with me and him.

Frances · 08-02-2007, 08:35 PM

Nope. I don't start fights, just laughing fits.

Truth is many of these bands use the same generic chord progression, but none of them are exactly the same. SLTS may be a generic riff, but its not stolen directly by any song.

You can name drop any song you want, More Than A Feeling, Debaser, Godzilla, Louie Louie, Girls Just Wanna Have Fun. I've heard them all.

I don't think any of their specific songs are a rip-off, but the general sound of each one has been used somewhere else.

I go to the gym and work out three times a week so that sometimes when im drunk enough I can knock at least three teeth out of the face of any pretentious suit-coat-over-t-shirt jackass who starts sentences with "well actually they stole that idea from..." or any variation there of. Then I recite my favorite lines from Paradise Lost, just to throw that in their faces. And I look them right in the eye and say "you're a soulless hipster who steals everything from someone else." If I make it to this point, then im promptly throw out.

Are you talking about the book or the band Paradise Lost? I can understand that Paradise Lost doesn't have good lyrics, but they actually did create the genre gothic metal, which is more than what Nirvana did. Not to mention they also helped create death/doom metal, but their new stuff is crap.

Thats what I'm saying, just because its generic dosen't make it a ripoff.

i could relate to kurt's music more than anyone else's. I never knew him and although I wish I did, in some way I feel there was a connection with his music. Laugh if you will, but I still feel that way. He affected music and for that matter people in a way I have never seen before. He truly was special and I have not been the same since. I have suffered through death of family members, a best friends suicide, parents divorce and throgh all of that I felt like I could turn to Nirvana and "escape". Kurt really spoke to me, I was drawn to his music and I will always miss him. I wish someone could've done something to keep him alive.

In this case I apologize. I sort of thought you were just another one-topic semi-spammer.

No spam here. Its ok man, I am not trying to ask for pity. Just telling a little of my story as to why Nirvana means so much to me. I remember watching the interview with Tori Amos about Smells Like Teen Spirit and being on the verge of tears, because the words she spoke were dead on.

Give it a listen. I might be one of the few Nirvana fans left, but I am curious if there are any others left. Which i why I have said what I have said. Her comments on Smells...I think are dead on. For those who grew up on their music, it was an injection.

smells like teen spirit is still one of the top singles on itunes. And nirvana is number 9 for top artists at last.fm

your not that isolated, they're still very very popular. Actually, i think a new movie is coming out about him.

while what you say may be true, they can be popular to most, but still don't have the same impact as they did while I was growing up. Their music can still be appreciated, but its just different.
