kurt cobain, lead singer of Nirvana, committed suicide ten years ago today. I know people out there believe he was murdered.

I was only six years old when this happened, so I did not care much at the time, but my mom cried.

Nirvana stands as my favorite band of all time. The music still stands out as so much greater than everything coming out now.

It's interesting to see just how much, and at the same time, how little things have changed in Nirvana's legacy.

Kurt hated the attention he had then, and he would've hated the attention he draws after his death

I edited the thread title, by the way... Nothing really warrants a thread title all in caps. Please try to keep the forums tidy

And about everyone and their sister wore their "unique" Cobain shirt today.

I still say it was suicide

It's the nutcases that think Courtney Love killed him

Nirvana killed hairmetal and for that I'm not a nirvana fan. However its a shame he desided to take his own life, a little overrated but still a good musician.

Um, Nirvana was Grunge, not Hair Metal. Wow.

Anyway, being a Cobain fan, today stood out in my mind. Sure, it's a loss, but he still has his legacy...

Your mother cried? I can't imagine crying over a musician's death, unless you, y'know, knew him or her personally.





Nirvana stands as my favorite band of all time. The music still stands out as so much greater than everything coming out now.


Let's see... Great bands and artists that have come out with debut full-length releases starting from present day and dating back to 1994 (Kurt, and Nirvana's, death [obviously it was a suicide, as months prior to that he'd threatened and even attempted suicide a few times]), listing firstly the date for each that their debut came out, and also the year that their latest album was released (some dates may be off):

- The Darkness (2003)
- The Mars Volta (2003)
- SikTh (2003)
- Between the Buried and Me (2002 ; 2003)
- Coheed and Cambria (2002 ; 2003)
- Slick Idiot (2002)
- The Streets (2002)
- dredg (2001 ; 2002)
- ohGr (2001 ; 2003)
- Sleepytime Gorilla Museum (2001)
- Telefon Tel Aviv (2001 ; 2004)
- tweaker (2001 ; 2004)
- Disturbed (2000 ; 2002)
- A Perfect Circle (2000 ; 2003)
- The Dillinger Escape Plan (1999 ; 2000)
- Static-X (1999 ; 2003)
- Air (1998 ; 2004)
- ...and Oceans (1998 ; 2002)
- cEvin Key (1998 ; 2003)
- Cave In (1998 ; 2003)
- Rob Dougan (1998)
- Children of Bodom (1998 or sooner ; 2003)
- Devin Townsend (1997 ; 2003)
- h3llb3nt (1996 ; 2001)
- Psychotica (1996 ; 2003)
- Acumen Nation (1995 ; 2003)
- Botch (1995, I think ; 2000)
- Download (1995 ; 2000)
- haloblack (1995 ; 2004)
- Nile (1995 ; 2002)
- Opeth (1995 ; 2003)
- Strapping Young Lad (1995 ; 2003)
- Rammstein (1994 or 1995 ; 2001)
- Bile (1994 ; 2002)
- Chemlab (1994 ; 2004)
- Cradle of Filth (1994 ; 2003)
- Demilich (1994)

And there are more. All of these are bands that I find to be better than Nirvana (although I do love the album In Utero and would listen to it over, say, Acumen, or APC, Slick Idiot, and Bile, but the rest have put out better albums than In Utero). To say that anything that's come out today is bad (that's not really what you said, but I assume it's what you mean) is just wrong. There's lots of music to be listened to all around. You just gotta find it, and it's actually not that hard to do so. But there's probably tons of unsigned bands and bands on small labels that are real excellent yet don't get heard.

Good music exists today.

I really like Nirvana's music, although I only got into most of it this year. It just has this quality to it.. Anyway, since our school has a uniform policy (!) no one could wear shirts n stuff like that. Im sure a lot of the more 'musical' kids would have commemorated his death or something though.

Well, he was more than just the vocalist. He was also primary songwriter (wrote most of the songs himself), and played the guitar.

Actually I don't know too much about Kurt Cobain and his music. I've heard a couple of songs and stuff and I thought they were good. I'm not sure whether he committed suicide or was mudered. I haven't heard what people said put he does have good music

I used to think it was suicide...but then I saw this program on NBC's Dateline...and if it was murder, I wouldn't be surprised.

His guitar playing was not overrated. It's a different style then the trendy speed stuff that was out, when Nirvana was getting big.

It's not smooth, and it was done for a reason.

what i meant was that he wasn't looked up to for his guitaring, it's his ability to write music.

and yes i've heard tourette's, nothing special imo.

Yeah, sorry that that happened. People also told me that his wife had murdered him as well. A lot of my friends love Nirvana, but I still have yet to listen to their music. I don't really listen to "real" music by bands and stuff but like video game music. Maybe I'll check out their stuff though.
