90% of all hair metal acts based themselves on Aerosmith with the other 10% of influence coming from the likes of Kiss, Alice Cooper and the British glam rock brigade of the 70`s.

My point was not what Kurt Cobain was trying to do. It was the fact that I was having an extremely overrated, incredibly shallow, repetitive "Catchy Chorus song" which the fullest extent of dynamic shift is a constant, unchanging, repetitive shifts between mumbling/clean guitar to screaming/distorted guitar. It's a one trick pony that marches in circles, and it's still to this day considered a landmark song for some reason. It's just a really really awful song, to be frank, and shoved down our throats. As for the "children's music" thing, it's basically Cobain's way of essentially making mainstream music in hopes of cashing in(which ended up ****ing his brain because he was in denial of that), and still trying to sound cool about it.

I think making a comparison between the two is very hard, but what they both have in common is that when they came out, both blew the competition away and both have some of the best rock albums ever recorded. Led Zeppelin with 5 classic albums and Nirvana with 2 classic albums. The one thing about Nirvana is that they never had time to go downhill like Led Zeppelin did, Also Kurt Cobain didn`t have time to undertake a boring and bland solo career like Robert Plant did. |

To be fair, I still think that Cobain would have been interesting as a solo. Plant was always going to be a (Very classic, in my opinion) front man, and whatever he did was going to fall on who was backing him, so this left him with a great band plus a fine reunion with the ace guitarist (...Axl, if he ever wakes up, should get back with Slash ASAP) and a series of solo albums that fell short more than the last. Cobain, however, was a good musician who had more of an Indie ethic, and supported plenty of music that other stars would not have touched. I will stand by my thoughts that Cobain would have went back to the Indie world or acoustic. Maybe the energy of Nirvana would have faded away, but somehow he at least would have still have something interesting to offer his listeners. |
