While this isn't a Nirvana reunion because they don't seem to be playing any Nirvana songs, to say that Nirvana was just Kurt is childish. Kurt brought the driving energy, but raw musical power seldom produces art, more than likely just chaos. It takes a band, a group process of musicians working together to make good
music. Nirvana is NOTHING without Krist's smooth operator bass lines. Nirvana is NOTHING without Dave Grohl's perfect drumming for every nuance of Kurt's dynamics. Kurt wrote the lyrics, but even those often were a process where he changed them as the songs changed from solo to band projects. When Dave and Krist got together with Kurt, the lyrics were always in the rough, and were adjusted to the changes in the songs. Further, Kurt liked the harmonies with Dave. Nirvana is Krist, Dave, and Kurt. Only Courtney Love and her thuggish gang of lawyers think otherwise..
