If Curt Kobain was alive this year he could have made a country album. Darn shame, that is.

So, she got us to meet a spirit who happened to be in the room at the time and their name was spelled out via planchette: K U R T C O B A I N. You know "Kurt Cobain" does sound like the name of a supernatural serial killer from beyond the grave like Freddy Krueger. Pretty freaky!

i didn't realize this was a remix video at first. for a second though the dance at the end was actually original to the song. (e: the electronic song i mean, not the nirvana original) honestly though, ladies slinging gap to an electronic remix of come as you are is what kurt would've wanted, if he still had a mouth he'd be grinning now.

BAGS FLY AT NOON posted:In Utero sucked except for Pennyroyal Tea. If an album comes with a suggestion for EQ settings in the liner notes to make it sound good that’s usually a bad sign. All of Nirvana’s good songs are collected on Incesticide. Nirvana was the first band I really got into, in high school, around 2000/2001. It also happened to coincide with the rise of Napster, which was absolutely swimming in rare b-sides and unreleased tracks. As soon as Napster dropped, it seemed like it was open season on finding all of the rarest Nirvana poo poo imaginable. And I still have that collection of 128 kbps MP3s. edit: Anderson Koopa posted:Lots of bands from that era lost members early. Mark Lanegan died two years ago, I would be hesitant to say he died "early". 57 is pretty respectable for a guy who smoked twelve hundred cigarettes a day for each of those 57 years.

Frances Bean Cobain looks like an exact 50/50 mixture of him & Courtney Love, usually people look like one of their parents more than the other one but she doesn't which I always found kind of cool/weird Anyway, RIP Kurt

Wizard Master posted:What are your guys thoughts on Cobain and his musical legacy? My hot take is that honestly only Nevermind was any good for Nirvana albums. There are some absolute bangers on their other albums, but only Nevermind is a masterpiece from start to finish. And we also got the Foo Fighters from the break up of the band after his death, and the Foo Fighters are one of my favorite bands ever.

They are not my favourite band ever but they don't suck - which is something the vast majority of people on these forums thinks. I remember being at the Witness festival in the early 2000's. Sonic Youth and Foo Fighters were playing on two different stages at the same time. I choose Foo Fighters and regret nothing.

Well here's a conspiracy. When I was a much younger man, I was cajoled into entering a strip club. A dancer entered the stage and Rape Me was playing. Not being accustomed to the environment, I didn't really think there was anything strange about this. A person of authority moved quickly and deliberately behind the bar to mute the PA system. I've wondered now after some decades, was it the dancer's choice? Was it the DJ sabotaging her, or perhaps one of the other dancers? Was there any fallout from the management? Or was there someone in the crowd the manager noticed reacting in some way?

Looking her up, Natasha Schneider, and I was surprised she had such a storied career for nearly a decade before the grunge scene started. Elliott Smith also died in the early 00s, which seemed to draw some Cobain comparisons. He was viewed by some as the same sort of sensitive and moody talent that Kurt was, history of issues, and a suicide.

JediTalentAgent posted:There was a bit of an obscure band called "Eleven" that had one of their members die in the latter 00s. Looking her up, Natasha Schneider, and I was surprised she had such a storied career for nearly a decade before the grunge scene started. Eleven are one of my favourite bands of all time, and Alain and Natasha were in Queens of the Stone Age when I saw them for the first time on their 2005 tour. Mark Lanegan was also famously a member of QOTSA, as was Dave Grohl, just a few short years before. The connections here are nuts. If you want something that'll really blow your mind, Alain and Natasha can be seen in the video below, hanging out at Frank Zappa's house in 1993. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oZKXEvNhq-Q Alain can be seen at 22:52 talking to Frank, Natasha comes and sits down beside him at 24:15, Johnny Guitar Watson is in the background. Matt Groening of Simpsons fame is also somewhere in the video. Natasha can also be seen at 1:25:20. In fact, Frank passed not too long after this video was made, and Alain and Natasha recorded this song about Frank's passing for their next album: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VwjDjCJP4R0 And this is to say nothing about how Alain graduated same year same high school as the guys from Red Hot Chili Peppers and was even in the band that ended up splitting up and becoming RHCP, which brings us back to another early grunge-era loss in Hillel Slovak who nobody seems to have brought up here. Or about how Alain produced Chris Cornell's later solo work post 1996 Soundgarden breakup. There are so many insane connections that all point back to Alain that I'm surprised he isn't more well known. Edit: Funny story. Alain's early band "What Is This?", which was the one that broke up when Flea and Hillel decided they'd rather be in Red Hot Chili Peppers, only had one marginally successful hit song: a cover of a song by The Spinners called "I'll Be There." It only ever charted in Canada. I am in Canada. I have memories of this song playing on the radio in the late 80s/early 90s as a young child, and then losing my loving mind in my 20s when I realized it was the same guy who wrote Hanging Tree for QOTSA. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=G50kXEqgvSY But as far as 80s rock goes, their less commercial poo poo was actually pretty bangin'. Slovak's guitar on this EP is insane. I've got them all on vinyl. That's Flea on the left. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DVfpwnZ8URM XYZAB fucked around with this message at 06:04 on Apr 8, 2024 |

I was a huge Alice in Chains fan in the 1990s/early 2000s as a teen, and the other grunge bands I also really liked, were Soundgarden & Pearl Jam. I don't hate Nirvana at all, they had a huge cultural impact, I just felt they were overrated compared to other Seattle based bands & their musical abilities. I had family who loved Kurt, so I might be biased, but one of the main things they constantly spoke about back then, was, "Kurt Cobain was a sweet wide eyed naive person, who had no interest in making any money whatsoever, at any point in his entire life, only music, and he hated money so much his commercial success forced him to commit suicide!" I found this quote in an old book in my collection, which does put that claim under a new light.  quote:In April 1992 Kurt Cobain announced to Grohl & Novoselic that he wished to redraft Nirvana's publishing agreement. Up until this point, publishing royalties had been split evenly between the three band members: under the new arrangement proposed by Cobain, the band's publishing would be altered so that Cobain would receive 90% of the monies...and more contentiously, the agreement would be applied retroactively, dating back to the release of Nevermind. In effect, this agreement meant that both Grohl & Novoselic, now owed Cobain money. The ensuring arguments nearly split the band. Livo fucked around with this message at 13:04 on Apr 8, 2024 |
