Yes, he was. And now Courtney Love is carrying the torch for him.

He had problems, but he was the best musician since Bob Dylan.

MuleScrote · 02-28-2003, 09:48 PM

I think Layne Staley was another great loss...

Too bad none of his family or numerous former friends thought so and let him lay dead and stinking for two weeks. "Where's Lane?" "Who cares? He ain't here!" His self indulgence at the expense of everything around him pissed off a lot of people and he was a pariah when he died. Sad waste of talent.

i would put him up there in genius territory.

take a look at who was on the charts when Nirvana broke out and how they made a huge impact on the direction of rock at the time. Look at how revered Nevermind is amongst critics and fans (its always now considered one of the top 5 albums of all times in most polls). Their live MTV Unplugged album still blows me away.

they created a whole new genre and blew everything away... in a matter of weeks, whatever was top became old and unwanted... in matter of weeks, they changed what was considered to be good musique...

that's what I call making an impact ;)

they didn't create it...they were just the first ones to really break through.....before them were Tad, Mudhoney, Meat Puppets, etc.

Kurt Cobain was great. But now he's gone so let the man rest in peace.

Danny_C · 03-01-2003, 08:06 AM

You've leaving out The Melvins... TRUE geniuses who are still making music. Kurt credited them with inspiring him to make the music he did.

Danny_C · 03-01-2003, 08:09 AM

Behind every "breakthrough" artist, there are usually at least 5 or 6 groups who had been doing it in the underground for years. All the breakthrough artist (Nirvana included) usually does is takes that style and pops it up a bit... makes it more digestable to the mainstream... waters it down so the kids can enjoy it.

Nothing against Nirvana, but they were hardly pioneers. They were just the first to sell out.

there is a neat overview of the Seattle grunge scene of that time at that Experiece rock museum Paul Allen built in Seattle. That was a fun way to kill a day in that city.
