Kurt Cobain (February 20, 1967 – April 5, 1994)[views:3226][posts:47]_____________________________________ [Apr 4,2008 11:14pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] [img] http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_Cobain Kurt Donald Cobain (February 20, 1967 – April 5, 1994), was an American musician who served as lead singer, guitarist, and songwriter for the Seattle-based rock band Nirvana. Cobain formed Nirvana in 1987 with Krist Novoselic. Within two years, the band became a fixture of the burgeoning Seattle grunge scene. In 1991, the arrival of Nirvana's "Smells Like Teen Spirit" marked the beginning of a dramatic shift of popular rock music away from the dominant genres of the 1980s (glam metal, arena rock, and dance-pop) and toward grunge and alternative rock. The music media eventually awarded the song "anthem-of-a-generation" status,[1] and, with it, Cobain was labeled a "spokesman" for Generation X. During the last years of his life, Cobain struggled with drug addiction and the media pressures surrounding him and his wife, Courtney Love. On April 8, 1994, Cobain was found dead in his home in Seattle, the victim of what was officially ruled a self-inflicted shotgun wound to the head. In ensuing years, the circumstances of his death became a topic of fascination and debate. |

| _______________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 1:44am - DestroyYouAlot ""] I went to a rockin' house party that day. Apparently, these people had to go to PA for a funeral (grandpa kicked the bucket), so the girl who was housesitting thought it'd be a swell idea to have a huge party, and we all thought it'd be an even better idea to completely destroy the house for when they came back. |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 9:29am - thuringwethil ""] I met him in Boston when he was cheating on Courtney with Mary Lou Lord. He was a nice enough guy. plus you might as well say certain delta blues, Billie Holliday, and Beatles songs are "woe is me." I do attribute his influence to Christian rock shit turds like Creed, though |
| ____________________________ [Apr 5,2008 9:31am - mOe ""] no care ever...any band that uses Nirvana as a main influence smells of shit to me. I didnt like this band when I was a kid when they came out and I dont like them now that I've grown up. The guy just ripped off the underrated, lesser known post punks bands of the time anyway. Listen to Killing Joke's "80s" and you'll see what I'm talking about. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 10:02am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Bleach and Nevermind are great releases. |

| __________________________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 10:43am - carina on her new phone ""] met him in montreal. partied with nirvana after they played foufs. larissa and I swapped stories. rip |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 11:00am - thuringwethil ""] Krist Novoselic did most of the talking. Cool guy. |
| ________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 11:11am - tylor ""] fact: kurt cobain and layne staley both died on my birthday |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 11:18am - thuringwethil ""] they liked Celtic Frost and Melvins, so they're cool in my book |

| ______________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 11:50am - kadoogetnam ""] What are your reasons for shitting on Pantera again, Dwyer? Influenced a million shitty bands? hmmm... Ripped off lesser known bands and got famous off it? hmmmmmmm... So what's the attraction to Nirvana? |
| _____________________________ [Apr 5,2008 11:51am - mOe ""] iiiiiinteresting |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 11:54am - AUTOPSY_666 ""] NIRVANA were good, PANTERA weren't. |
| _______________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 12:00pm - thuringwethil ""] I agree. but this debate will keep going in circles. Oh well. it's just a matter of opinion |
| _____________________________ [Apr 5,2008 12:04pm - mOe ""] NO, Pantera sucks! NO, Nirvana sucks! (repeat) but seriously though, Nirvana were horrid |
| __________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 12:19pm - sinistas ""] Unplugged in NY is one of my favorite live albums. |
| _____________________________ [Apr 5,2008 12:24pm - mOe ""] oh god, i know all of those songs by heart because i've probably heard that album 3,000+ times and none of those by choice |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 12:24pm - AUTOPSY_666 ""] Bleach and Nevermind are great. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 12:47pm - Conservationist ""] Glad he's dead. Moronic Crowdist. |
| _____________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 12:50pm - unholy_dave ""] i like all the albums. nevermind is actually my least favorite. i think i might actually like in utero the best. |
| ______________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 12:50pm - kadoogetnam ""] Cobain was a good songwriter. That's about it. I can appreciate that at face value but when it comes down to listening to them, I can't. I'll be the first to admit that I like Pantera, used to LOVE Pantera. Not so much anymore, but I do still enjoy their albums from time to time. And I just love to bust Dwyer's balds - er - I mean balls. |
| _________________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 12:59pm - Conservationist ""] Kurt Cobain loved a dick in the mouth. Unlike other faggots, he specialized in reverse cowgirl anal violation by large negro drag queens. What really kept Kurt up at night, though, was having every orifice plugged by fat Irish balls while a midget Mexican whipped his ass with yarn. Just fucking up your keywords so the page ads are twisted. Right now it says "Gulf Hurricane Relief," which is totally boring unless it's an ANAL HURRICANE. |

| ________________________________________________ [Apr 5,2008 1:45pm - the_taste_of_cigarettes ""] In Utero was a very heavy, very noisey album. Nobody rips this record off and they should. |
