i sometimes wonder what state music would be in today if that would've never happened.

I wish it hadn't happened, b/c then maybe people would shut up about him.

well one time for my design class (its odd i know) i acted out a manic-depressive chick and i shot myself at the end while underworld's 'born slippy' played in the ********** and everybody freaked out. it was pretty cool.

I totally agree. He wasn't that great, just a bit unique.

Chance and chance alone has a message for us. Everything that occurs out of necessity, everything expected, repeated day in and day out, is mute. Only chance can speak to us. We read its message much as gypsies read the images made by coffee grounds at the bottom of a cup."

I never said he shouldn't have existed.
I just think that if he hadn't died, people wouldn't idolize him today. He would have put out shitty music, gotten in trouble w/ the law, or just "faded away" and people would realize that he is/was a normal human being.
No one can maintain a godlike status forever.
Do people still idolize Paul McCartney like they used to?? Jimmy Page and Robert Plant like they used to???
No. They're old wrinkled bastards, they're human. And the public becomes easily bored

Actually, if you look, its a man and a woman, and therefore is heterosexual.

I think your sig is the best here

You like Flickerstick.

I'll second that!

i mentioned that to people today, and most of them asked "who the fuck is kurt cobain?", most of the others only know who he is because i've told them.

i don't feel at all like i thought.

first billy could NOT kick kurts ass.
Kurt Cobain is a genious.
and he what makes him maintain godlike status is because he did die. he was gone completely before he should have been, before he sucked. he helped save us from all that shit music. his death was the shock to mainstream that saved us from such shit. and now, unfortunatly, its going back to shit.

look at that smooth skin!

i hope you're joking... neither billy nor kurt nor any of the mainstream grunge fucks were geniuses. That's like saying someone who gets an "A" in a class is a genius. Sorry not happenin bud. They did well and made great tunes but nothing that hadn't been done before. Nirvana did nothing that hadn't already been done before. They might have been marketed better and hit mainstream but in your idealism limp bizkit are "geniuses"

not at all. Nirvana and the rest of grunge came out of an era full of glamour and being pretty. an era of completely fake music written by fake people. all that shit for an entire decade, then grunge came out. Grunge was real music that was written by real people, that came from an era of shit. most grunge bands didnt even have talent. kurt is genius because he took a sloppy gunge band with no talent and transformed them into musicians. the unplugged mtv show proved that.

besides, what one sees as musical genius, another sees as shity music. If i say Tool is the greatest band ever, big deal. it doesnt matter if you dont think so. I may think tool is musical genius and you may think drowing pool is (even though its the worst). musical genius is opinion based. now im drunk and im going to bed so im through.
peace.

yeah, kurt was a kickass songwriter and pretty damn smart but genius is one of the most overused and misused words ever.

Musical genius, then. http://www.netphoria.org/wwwboard/smile.gif

you're all soo very funny.

Kurt was a genuis....as is many other artists... i often wonder too... what music would be like if his death didn't occur..
Sure he wasn't god.. but he was a good musician. Whether people believe he was there at the right time and place or not, his genuis is true, unplugged and in utero showed this as stated earlier.

1 a : plural genii : an attendant spirit of a person or place b : plural usually genii : a person who influences another for good or bad

Regardless, 'genius' is used way too liberally on this board.

You also have to consider how much of Nirvana's success came from luck and how much came from actualy proactivity. The band is great, and their music did the music industry an amazing amount of good, but I wouldn't go as far to call Kurt a genius simply because his music happened to have major impact on music.

I know, I'm quite cynical about it, but that is really how I feel.

Then apparently he did a shitty job of "saving" us.

haha, its not like they released Nevermind, and then all the "shitty" music just dropped off the face of the earth. Kurt Cobain didn't save us from anything, he just distracted us for a few years. All of that "shitty" music that Kurt saved us from was still going strong during Nirvana's reign, and was still going strong the second he killed himself.

And there's a big difference from being a musical genious, and being a good songwriter, or ripping off the pixies (not that there's anything wrong with that.) Nevermind consists of a bunch of really good hooks, words that were hard to understand, a video that everybody went apeshit for, and a bunch of shitty power chords. Good stuff? Sure. Classic album? Why not? Genious? Bullshit.
