ME LOVE NIRVANA

[tony-x]

well, my personal favourite is really lithium... but imo the whole of "nevermind" was simply amazing...

'you know you're right' is also a great track... among the top10 best songs they made imo...

[SkunK]

My favorite Nirvana song is "Aneurysm"...

Yours?

Nice choice! My fav too, can't believe its not on the new album. It'll definitely be in the boxed set though...

Smells like Teen Spirit for sure. That's gotta be one of the best songs ever!!

I'm so sick of Teen Spirit, I was hoping they'd leave it off the album just because Cobain hated it so much.

Oh well, what the consumer wants, the consumer gets i suppose..

[Willie M.]

I like the unplugged album, and my fave song has to be the man who sold the world.

Anybody read his book?

[Tyus Edney's Agent]

For album i'd have to go with Unplugged and song has to come as you are.

[Dert]

In 1994, I was 11 freaking year old... I don't see how anyone at around 10 years of age "got" Nirvana's music...


So quick survey, how old were you in 1994?

[Brave Sir Rubin]

i was 7...yet i have an older brother and i loved to listen to nirvana music with him all the time...practiclty since i was born...

plus it got nothing to do with age...i like Bob Marley...don't mean i lived in 1970...

My dad likes Bethoven...don't mean my dad lived a couple of hundred years ago...

[Dert]

Well, Nirvana does not have a very appealing sound, where Marley and Bethoven do, so I always though that Nirvana's main asset was their lyrical content.

I didn't really think that people like the way Kurt sang...


eoooo.....eooooo....eo...eo...ear we r nah.... emertainars.... imarstuoopid... ancontejus... ear wee r nah... enbertainus

[Rens]

I didn't really think that people like the way Kurt sang...


eoooo.....eooooo....eo...eo...ear we r nah.... emertainars.... imarstuoopid... ancontejus... ear wee r nah... enbertainus

LOL that's funny I'm not too fond of Nirvana either.. but hey.. not a lot of people like the music I listen to either (metal, hard rock) so I don't really care what they listen to. Nevermind is a nice album though

[Brave Sir Rubin]

Well, Nirvana does not have a very appealing sound, where Marley and Bethoven do, so I always though that Nirvana's main asset was their lyrical content.

I didn't really think that people like the way Kurt sang...

well...i love kurt's voice...

Nirvana's main asset was their lyrical content.

true...but some people like me also love kurt's voice and thier sound...but the lyrics are the strongest asset...agree

[Bill Russell]

I like Kurt's voice too... In the "Unplugged in NY" album it sounds amazing in my opinion, specially on "Plateau", "Oh Me", "Lake Of Fire", "On A Plain", and on the stunning "Where Did You Sleep Last Nite", an old folkie song...

I checked Nirvana's lone official video, "Live! Tonight! Sold Out!"... LOL, it's great, I recommend it to everyone... It's not out on DVD yet, like some of rock & roll's greatest documentaries ("Don't Look Back" by Bob Dylan, "Gimme Shelter" by the Rolling Stones, and Neil Young's "Rust Never Sleeps"...

It's alright to not like Nirvana as some of you either... Right now I'm downloading the new Foo Fighters album, and I'll do the same with the new Audioslave and the Elvis compilation too. The problem is disliking (spl) them without even listening to the records carefully. "In Utero", IMO, is very bad recorded... or, as some say, it's recorded in lo-fi, low fidelity... The sound they manage to get in the very first second of the 1st song seems like a guitar has just falled to the ground... Amazing.

I had this site bookmarked which had available for download a box of rarities by Nirvana called "Outcesticide"... The site seems to be out of sight now... Damn, it had like 60 rare songs for download.

Anyways, I'll buy or "buy" the new Nirvana compilation... I have this Nirvana book written by a brazilian guy, and he lists all songs Nirvana recorded, and there is like 40 of them which were never released... I'll download them too... God bless Kazaa!

[tony-x]

well... i like everything about Nirvana... the sounds they came up with were great, lyrics were great, Kurt's voice was great... but... i don't really think they would've been considered the best grunge band if Kurt hadn't died... he was a man of flesh and bone, and nothing else, thats how his band members saw him and they don't let themselves to be a part of the mass media circus, everybody should follow that example...

Imagine just what would happen if Eddie Vedder "commited suicide" after the second Pearl Jam album... when they were at their peak, got millions of awards, and praise from the critics, more than Nirvana... They decided not to record a single video anymore... They're still great, but nobody calls Vedder a fallen hero, he chose the course most boring to the public - he lived. If it were otherwise, he would be head to head with Jim Morisson in the eyes of those, or better yet the majority of people who made Kurt such a deity, sometimes when you read the reviews on them, you'd think the members of Nirvana were from a different planet, and not just a one damn fucking great band.

[Bill Russell]

That's what I'm talking about.

Just to illustrate what Tony said, during the "Live! Tonight! Sold Out!" video, Kurt, Dave and Krist start talking about the band Extreme (that one, "More Than Words" hit)... They joke about them all the time, but nevertheless point they judge themselves as rock-stars and such... That's exactly what Nirvana was: probably the greatest band since the Beatles, and the most influential since them... And with that anti-rock star ideology I simply love to the max.

As I was telling Tony the other day, the influence Nirvana did to music cannot be measured because it's so diluted nowadays. Per example, compare Creed's "One Last Breath" to Nirvana's "Heart Shaped Box"... LOL, there you can see who created the style.

"Nevermind" was an imprecedent record in the history of music... It brought indie attitude and punk music to the masses. Many bands copied their style, from Creed to Staind to Puddle Of Mudd to many many others.

[Brave Sir Rubin]

tales...on a diffrent record...can you throw me some good song names to download off Kazaa...i got about 40 songs on my comp...i'd appriciate if you name some that are truly worth downloading...(well...all are...but i'm tired of em 1 minute songs...)

would have asked ya on mSn...but ya never on...

thanks

[Brave Sir Rubin]

lol...just counted...i got about 74 nirvana songs on my computer....now i know what to get for christmas...a burner

[Bill Russell]

I'm never online on MSN cos I can't get it to work here...

You want names of Nirvana songs, or random rock songs?

[Brave Sir Rubin]

Nirvana songs...

but good rock songs will defenatly be goot...


both...

[Bill Russell]

Ok, just wait some mins while I get the book (it's not here with me) and type the song's names...

Want to get a good rock album...? Go for Queens Of The Stone Age's "Songs For The Deaf"... It's mind-boggling... As their entire discography... And Kyuss too... Even some posters know Kyuss now...
