Kurt didnt want to be super famous, but he did want to make good out of his career, hence the move to geffen.

Tons of bands do it without being considered sellouts, like Radiohead.

No sir, they had many more influences than The Wipers, their early work was spun from The Melvins and Black Flag more than anything.... Then it was Pixies, Neil Young, Jesus And Mary Chain, Sonic Youth, a lot of others.

Dont be such a clown, your sarcasm has horrible timing, try saying something that isnt meant to be a joke... It's not that hard.

Yes, but The Wipers were one of their primary influences and if you listen to early Wipers material and then Nirvana material their are some major similarities, moreso than The Melvins or Black Flag.

And as for your comment boo boo I do think that there are some people that speak of Nirvana like that but they obviously don't know what they're talking about, Kurt wasn't the best guitar player but to say he wasn't talented at it is a lie. To pick up a guitar and rip out a decent tune is a talent, no matter what anyone says.

Agreed.

It's not like anyone is comparing him to Django Reinhardt or anything like that.

There they were in a pile. A pile of little arms. And I remember... I... I... I cried. I wept like some grandmother. I wanted to tear my teeth out. I didn't know what I wanted to do. And I want to remember it. I never want to forget it. I never want to forget. And then I realized... like I was shot... like I was shot with a diamond... a diamond bullet right through my forehead. And I thought: My God... the genius of that.
