I like to say Nirvana was a GREAT band. THe rocked. Its sad that he killed him self ( isnt that what everone says?) Grundge has died out cuse of his death

They were ok. Not exactly my type of style. But I loved the grittiness of their cds, they didn't sound so polished.

I was a huge Nirvana fan back in the day. I loved their music and messages and to this day, I still agree with a lot of it.

CJ

I like Nirvana alright. I mean, they did help bring about a new generation of music. But sometimes when I'm listening to old 80's rock, I can't help but be furious at Kurt Cobain for killing such a great era of rock.

Nirvana would never have been as famous had Cobain not killed himself. I never liked Nirvana that much. Grunge, the era of flannel shirts, bad singing and the "I hate my parents" songs.

kurt cobain had a beautiful voice and he related to generation x and i loved his style of no style teared up jeans and flannel shirts pretty cool. I love Nirvana and man i wish he had never died so young and he's a legend that was just totally awesome and still lives on with his legacy.

Nirvana was simply amazing... in some ways their impact on the world of rock and roll is completely unparalelled. It's a shame that Cobain killed himself... they would have been making great music for years to come...

I love their sound.

But I must say as a Christian, some of their stuff was just grotesque.

It was the honest truth about the world... so yah, grotesque in a good way.

CJ

Yeah, they had an amazing social commentary... I don't see anything wrong with telling things the way they are.

It was the honest truth about the world... so yah, grotesque in a good way.

CJ

No, not politically, Sexually, I will not mention certain song titles in respect for the board's rules.

I've never really been into Nirvana. Any suggestions about which c.d. is their best?

They are all very good but in my opinion I would suggest

its a tie between:

Mtv unplugged in New York

is one of their best

so is

nevermind

I don't believe he killed himself. :) But I do like Nirvana.

I don't believe he killed himself. But I do like Nirvana.


me either after all there were no fingerprints on the gun which is odd, but what do I know . :D

^yeah, the evidence is kind of sketchy, but everyone is just so willing to view Cobain as this sort-of tragic anti-hero that was 'forced' to commit suicide to escape his troubles and celebrity. During his life, he never wanted to be public property, but now that he is dead, he has become just that-public property. He has become idolized as an angst-rock god. Yes, their music is awesome and I really like Nirvana, but I don't worship Cobain. Grunge died when Cobain died, but it couldn't have really lasted that long anyway, could it? I mean, it seems everything that Nirvana rebelled against musically has become the trend again. Current bands riff off of Nirvana's angst-ridden lyrics and turn it into pop-punk trash that doesn't mean anything. I just wish things would have turned out differently, but they never do , do they?

Kurt Cobain is dead. So is grunge. Get over it. Personally, I don't really understand why people think Nirvana was so deep lyrically. I mean, you can't understand a word Kurt says in Smells Like Teen Spirit, and even if you have the words, they don't make sense. Maybe I'm just stereotyping based on one song, but w/e.

Thank you.


I like Nirvana alright. They were pretty good. But they sure weren't the gods of the music industry or of grunge music. Ugh. A LOT better bands came out of the grunge/Seattle sound era than stupid Nirvana.

nirvana kinda annoyed me... they were way too angsty... however, i love dave gruel (sp?) and since thats where he got his start, i suppose some good came out of nirvana... basically, i thought that they were trying to be the wierdest thing ever, and succeeded... honestly, tho, i think i loved the grunge clothes better than most of the music, but i still have soul asylum and counting crows in regular rotation... :D

I like Nirvana a lot... one of my favorite displays at the Rock & Roll Hall of fame is the grunge display... it's really neat to see all the stuff :)

and i do wish that grunge wasn't dead. that was a sad thing :-\

dave gruel
It's Grohl. :)

whatever, he's still gorgeous... :D

we know he's dead, gosh. well atleast i do . and i could understand what he's sayin i dunno maybe im just crazy our somethin who's knows but he was a awesome singer especially live in concert .

A LOT better bands came out of the grunge/Seattle sound era than stupid Nirvana.-fire inside



yea, but nirvana started it others justcame along after like pearl jam and copyed them :)etc

A LOT better bands came out of the grunge/Seattle sound era than stupid Nirvana.


lol those are fighting word Nirvana is the best grundge band period Nirvana isnt stupid I bet if Nirvana wasnt arround SKillet whouldnt have started

Fighting words? You were barely walking when Nirvana was around.




To say that Nirvana was better than Alice in Chains and Pearl Jam is just... ridiculous. Kurt&co. might have pioneered the grunge genre... but Eddie Vedder and Layne Staley perfected it.

lol thats just crazy talk but i do like pearl jam though

It's okay kids. I understand. Since thinking Nirvana was the best thing ever is the hip thing to do, I'll let you all to your delusions of Kurt grandeur.

oh no u didnt go there . thats not true so not true . not all the kids like nirvana , besides i been listening to nirvana from when i was young .

I did go there.

I bet five years ago you were all into the classic rock from the sixties and seventies. Five years ago it was cool to like Janis Joplin and The Doors and be a hippy and wear tye-dye and patchouli. And now that it's been ten whole years [whoopi-dee-doo] and all you hear on the stupid radio is stupid Smells Like Teen Spirit and even stupider Come As You Are, Nirvana is the cool thing to like.

Yay for jumping someone else's train!

what do you know? your not me only i can say 4 myself and you your self.

but you are right they do play them all the time but that was ever since he died they did that.

That is very true. I just call it like I see it. Maybe you're not like that. But I bet half of this thread's little supporters are.

oh, well who knows 4 sure , ya know what almost every (well not all) band its like that some ppl will just listen 2 it cause its trendy or whatever or because they really enjoy the music who knows the real reason but 4 me its because i grew up with that band and i love their sound .

*kinda scared* you're talking about growing up with a band that emerged while i was in high school... one of my short-lived nicknames in high school was 'chains' from alice in chains - my first name is allison... get it? *feeling soooo old*

yea i get it :)

Wow, this topic seems a little heated. Nirvana was good (still is, at least to listen to, in my opinion). And maybe we ARE just jumping on the trend wagon, but what else do you expect? I mean, I was all of nine years old when Cobain died, I didn't listen to them when they were still around. But with the whole trend thing, I say, if you like at and it is good music, who cares if other people have turned it into a trend? You shouldn't not listen to something because it's suddenly become popular. Oh, well, and yes, there are other great grunge (and non-grunge) bands out there. Not everyone has to agree on everything, otherwise it would be a boring world! Okay, that was my (edited for length) two cents!

true thalia it would be thank God were all diffrent.

my sister's band does a version of Lithium (changing some of the words around)

really thats so kool

My friend's older brother was in a Nirvana tribute band for a while. It was called "Buddhist Monk's Heaven!" :)

*throws a monkey into the room to lighten things up*
It makes me laugh when people talk about how deep and meaningful Nirvana's lyrics are...they're just gibberish that made sense to Kurt when he was strung out on heroin. How else do you explain "no i dont have a gun" sung over and over in "come as you are"? or "an albino/ a mosquito/ *something*/ my libido" in SLTS?

Well now here I have to defend Kurt. Yeah, he was probably strung out on drugs when he wrote most of the songs - but don't go knocking his creativity. Songs aren't much more than poems. You wouldn't knock someone's poetry just because it didn't make sense to you. Someone might not understand the lyrics to Saviour - but that in no way makes it a stupid song.

Anyway, my point is this: Just because it might not make "sense" to you, does not make it invalid as poetry or art.

Kurt Cobain Movie In The Works At The WB
(LAUNCH, 04/19/2004 2:00 PM)

By LAUNCH Radio Networks

An original movie about the life of Nirvana frontman Kurt Cobain is being developed by the WB Network, according to Billboard.com. The WB has bought the rights to Heavier Than Heaven: A Biography Of Kurt Cobain, written by journalist Charles Cross and published in 2001. A screenwriter has already been hired to pen a script for the film, although there's no word on a director or star.


The film will reportedly follow Cobain's life from his troubled youth in Washington state to his emergence as an alternative rock icon with Nirvana.


Cobain's struggles with depression and drug abuse will also be explored, along with his turbulent relationship with wife Courtney Love.


A WB executive said that the network may air a public service announcement about depression after the film.


April 5 was the tenth anniversary of Cobain's suicide. He shot himself to death at his Seattle home, where his body was discovered three days later.



this movie whould be awsome

lol his lyrics are awosme there not "gibberish" atleast its not gibberish as sum of linkin parks lyrics

Well I could be stereotyping based on those songs...but still...

But still nothing..

Nirvana Is A Legend

Whoo, whoo, whoo. That was deep. ::]

Man, I feel so lost about this whole grunge music thing. I've never really listened to Pearl Jam or Alice in Chains either, let alone Nirvana. I need to catch up. What are these bands best records? I wanna know more about this "grunge" era I seem to have completely missed out on. (I wasn't really into listening to music till I was in high school, and was a ccm junkie till only two or three years ago, until the whole ccm industry began to really decay when worship became the new craze...)

I'm not overly familiar with whole Pearl Jam albums, but I think Ten is amazing. I'm pretty sure it was their first album. It's the one with Jeremy and Evenflow on it. It's an amazing album. Alice in Chains has a greatest hits album with all their... greatest hits such as Angry Chair, Rooster, Would? and Heaven Beside You.

Nevermind is the best cd from nirvana

august and everything after by the counting crows is a little lighter than the majority of grunge but it is one of the best cds ever made

What does the song Rape Me mean i never understood what it meant

Oh yeah i heard ppl say his wife Courtney Love may have killed him

Oh yeah i heard ppl say his wife Courtney Love may have killed him
Uhm.. yeah... that's only been the buzz for the past ten years.

i heard that she killed him for huis money and wanted fame cuse like a week after his death her cd came out so she wanted it to make it popular and she could have killed him cuse he was gonna leve nirvana and she wante dhin to stayt so her cd whould make a big hit and the other one is that the where geting a divorce and she wanted all of his money not half

that song RAPE ME is about kurt cobain he was rape by someone in his family . And when he told his mother she didnt believe him ..

its sad seen ppl call kurt a evil guy its just sad he wast hurt alot in life byt he jocks at his school and the divorce his mom had man he must have been a dpressive person he used music as a way to let the anger at

that song RAPE ME is about kurt cobain he was rape by someone in his family . And when he told his mother she didnt believe him ..

I always heard that 'Rape Me' was about all of the media attention that he was getting because of Nirvana. He felt like he had no privacy and it upset him, and that was why he wrote that song...I thought there was an interview or something where he explained that it wasn't about a literal 'rape.'

I have the song book of nirvana that describes every meaning of his song, and All of his journals!, its awesome! Ask away!

I even have his suicide note in the journals.

That's as far as I understand it too.






And just when you thought a thread was finally dead..

I like to say Nirvana was a GREAT band. THe rocked. Its sad that he killed him self ( isnt that what everone says?) Grundge has died out cuse of his death
i love nirvana!!!! but RAMONES r better (old skool punk rock)

nirvana is cool.

I went to ontario mills and their was this paintng of Kurt it was awesome I was like whoa looks just like him there was also paintings of al paccino , jimmy hendrix , madonna , marilyn monroe etc etc etc .

Any one seen the new awsome Nirvana WIth THe Light out box set with 3 CD with demos pre release and unheard songs and 4th disc is a live dvd with them palyign there songs in david grohl basement! http://www.nirvanabox.com/

I LOVE GRUNGE!

Nirvana was pretty good... I think they were a bit over rated and yes I know im probably gonna get my head ripped off for saying that, but thats my view... Smells like Tean Spirit is an awesome song when cranked

well i mean aband liek them is good i have to agrre Smells Like Teen Spirit is an awosme song the anthom of our generation!

I just wish that Kurt would have sang a little clearer on the softer parts of their songs... not for understanding, but for sound quality

in respect (pshhh!!) to Nirvana, i will not voice my true opinions on them. lets just say i dont like them.

or the ramones for that matter

I like Nirvana, but some of their songs are overplayed on our local radio stations...

lol his lyrics are awosme there not "gibberish" atleast its not gibberish as sum of linkin parks lyrics

linkin parks lyrics don't sound like gibberish to me. some of the songs are weird (if that's what u ment by gibberish). but that's ur opinion and i respect it.

well i mean aband liek them is good i have to agrre Smells Like Teen Spirit is an awosme song the anthom of our generation!

i like that song a lot too. it's honest.

Smells Like Teen Spirit is a good song, just WAY overplayed...I loved it in 'Moulin Rouge' when they used that song...hehe...it was cool...

Above:
Left - Dave Grohl (Drums)
Center - Kurt Cobain (Vocals, Guitar)
Right - Krist Novoselic (Bass)

Lately I've been really into this band, a lot of their songs are rather enjoyable. They started in Aberdeen, Washington in 1987, and have seen 13 other members, besides the 3 pictured above. Those 13 have left the band, and came on at various times, the 3 above being the main members.

They have several hit songs, such as:
-Lithium
-Smells Like Teen Spirit
-You Know You're Right
-About A Girl
-All Apoligies
-Come As You Are
-Heart-Shaped Box
-In Bloom
-Love Buzz
-Pennyroyal Tea
-Silver
-You Know You're Right

I would strongly recommend checking out this band if you haven't in the past.

sorry, but i have to do it. click here (http://www.panheads.org/boards/showthread.php?t=1028&highlight=nirvana)

They've been a real big influence on me and my music for a while now. In fact, the reason I bought Skillet's first album back in '96 was because they reminded me of Nirvana with a Christian message.

nirvana is pretty cool. kurt cobain isn't the greatest musician but if it weren't for nirvana, we wouldn't have alot of the music genres we have now

They're OK, I have one of they're CDs, but it was burned so I don't know what any of the songs are called.

It's probably In Utero, or Nevermind.

I like the songs Heart Shaped box, and Smells Like Teen Spirit. I want to get one of their CD's...

Wow, Dave Grohl looks so different

Buy "Nevermind" and "In Utero" They're both really good.

Yeah, I'll have to check it out. See, I listen to more than emo >.<

"Nevermind" is worth getting up right now to go buy.

what kinda music is it?? (i know, im ignorant :D)

It's Grunge Rock in its finest form.

sorry, but i have to do it. click here (http://www.panheads.org/boards/showthread.php?t=1028&highlight=nirvana)


no problem. i just merged the threads together. :)

i agree. i didn't get into nirvana until later cuz when i was really little i didn't care about music. i'm not the biggest nirvana fan ever, but i do enjoy their stuff from time to time.

Yeah, Most Grunge Rock is mediocre at best, but Nirvana is so good. "Nevermind" is my new album that I listen to a lot. Still not as much as "ZOSO" and "Physical Graffiti" though.

NIRVANA was a very awesome band, it is sad how screwed up kurt cobains life was and i wish he was saved.

nirvana is pretty cool. kurt cobain isn't the greatest musician but if it weren't for nirvana, we wouldn't have alot of the music genres we have now
amen brother

They've been a real big influence on me and my music for a while now. In fact, the reason I bought Skillet's first album back in '96 was because they reminded me of Nirvana with a Christian message.

Yeah, Skillet's first album was quite Grunge...

And a grand friend of mine just gave me the complete boxed set off all of Nirvana's stuff...I was SO grateful! I haven't listened to much yet, though I already owned "Nirvana" and "Nevermind."

I got Incesticide the other day from my friend. It's a good album, quite different from In Utero, and Nevermind. I wold not say that it's better than the two, the songs just aren't Nirvana style most of the time. The last track is great, but I can't say that for the rest of the album, 3 out of 5 stars.

it's rather bittersweet. if Cobain's life wasn't so screwed up, he might not have been as excellent of a musician/songwriter as he was. it seems more pain can lead to greater creativity. but it can also self-destruct if not handled (like his). so, i would say, don't wish for less pain, but salvation is always good. :)

(not that it matters, since none of this can be changed. we don't own any time machines, at least we don't after mine broke down from that trek to 1132)

Yes I do I love there music I dont belive Kurt Cobain commited sucide he was murdered I just turned ten years old at that time April 8th 1994.

There's already a thread about Nirvana. I love em, I now have all of their albums.

COURTNEY LOVE KILLED KURT COBAIN

Just thought I'd let you know. (At least I think she did) What's your favorite song?

I like Lithium

Mine:
1. You Know You're Right
2. Come As You Are
3. Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge On Seattle
4. All Apologies
5. Lithium
6. In Bloom
7. Heart Shaped Box
8. Aneurysm
9. Territorial Pissings
10. Dumb

Nirvana were great...I used to really be into that band. Very talented indeed...They really changed my tastes in music. However, God has spoken to me about them...I have since stopped listening. I won't get into any details, but a serious conviction came over me.
