Was a fan bout 12-15 and then went through a phase of distain and snobbery brought on by all those little kids with the Cobain hoodies, Nirvana was a kids band so I ditched them. Only started to re-evaluate them about a year ago.

I think a lot of people go through this process.

You're totally right. I went through the exact same thing. I loved Nirvana as a kid, then I went through a time in my life where I didn't really like them and kinda thought they were overrated and not that great. It was only recently that I've kinda rediscovered my love for Nirvana. In Utero is just such a great album, I love it.

Whoever invented the electric guitar totally ripped it off of the acoustic guitar guy. And he ripped that off the lyre guy. They're such posers.

Wow, way too much hate for Kurt Cobain around here. Very negative. You didn't even know him. And who are you to judge someone else's actions concerning themselves? So what if he committed suicude? That's not oyur business. They guy was addicted to drugs and was depressed. It happens to thousands of people every year. He was just another statistic.

And I don't get why so many people here hate Nirvana. I know they're not the best band in the world ("best" of course always being a matter of opinion when it comes to art/music), but they were still a very good band. Sure Kurt mat not be the most technical guitarist or the best guitarist ever, and he may have taken a lot of influence from his heroes, but he had a lot of passion and he had determination. No one here is really in too much of a position ot make judgement calls on him. I doubt too many of you have ever met the man.

Oh, and one more thing, I'd listen to Nirvana over 95% of the other shit that's been super popular in the past 50 years any day of the week. Fuck Elvis! Fuck Hank Williams! Fuck Paul McCartney! Fuck Journey! Fuck Foreigner! Fuck Duran Duran! Fuck Pat Benetar! Fuck Poison! Fuck Motley Crue! Fuck Backstreet Boys! Fuck Hanson! Fuck Britney Spears! Fuck Candlebox! Fuck Pearl Jam! Fuck My Chemical Romance! Fuck it all! Give me In Utero.

Kurt is just a dumb asshole.

so what. nirvana admitted to ripping off the pixies, the kinks, the knack, the stooges, sonic youth, buttholes, whoever, and so what and yeah they were huge if u guys wanna blame anyone for nirvanas huge money meltdown and multi million sales worldwide(which a lot seems to have a problem with???) well i sugest BLAME THURSTON AND KIM cuz wasnt it them that got them the geffen deal, wasnt it them that gave them the exposure pre nevermind, wasnt it them who let them tour with sy everywhere, wasnt it them who gave a lot on the line to stick with these 3 rockin guys from seattle, not because they were gonna make millions but because they rocked bigtime, well wasnt it? im so tired of all the nirvana hate threads on this board. so what if you dont think its cool not to like em, so what if it demeans your "streetcred indieness" so fucking what. i still wear my smiley nirvana shirt and in fact its sandwiched between my galaxie 500 and my fall shirt in my wardrobe, does that make me fake? does that make me uncool? do i give a monkeys?

look sorry for the rant but at the end of the day, the vast majority of us wouldnt be here posting on this thread if it wasnt for nirvana. and thats a fact so plaese no one say "uh, i never liked em" cuz i dont believe you!

my story...... i got into nirvana via sy after a mate saw em in dublin 89 and gave me a copy of bleach. i still play negative creep in my dj sets! i know im lame........

i actually enjoy nirvana alot they "broke punk". they were a good punk band that related to teenagers they weren't really that original or anything like that, they were just a band that kids could relate to.
