im kinda into them. Think Kurt is a very basic guitarist but his lyrics are great. Dave Grohl is just DAve grohl so that would be enough for me to like them

Umaro

i love them, all the albums, i have posters, books, t-shirt, video - best band ever IMO

ferdi

yeah nirvana is timeless

colster

Great Band.

Try that again, but this time, in English.

I'm sure not many people "lik" nirvana. I don't think the surviving members would like it.

I can respect Elvis but he wasn't a life changing musician for me during my teens and I wouldn't even call Fred Durst a musician so em no

herbieflowers

Ha Fred Durst life changing...jeez!

I'm a big fan of Bleach but the other stuff never really appealed to me

i love nirvana, they were the first band i ever really listened to.Since i was around 5 or 6 whenever i was out in my coussins house that and metallica was all that was played, Loved nirvana straight from the off(the metal came later).Sick of them now to be honest ive heard every song too many times but theyl always be a soft spot for them in me.

Went through a phase when I was younger where they meant the world to me, Kurt was my hero etc etc etc. Then I grew older and got into better music (imo). Don't listen to Nirvana anymore now.

Was big into them, still have time for bleach when I'm drunk

I hate the whole "ugh he's a crap guitarist" stuff to the point of anger. He wasn't actually too bad, and he accomplished a lot with what he had. It's usually people who think they're ****ing Vai or something who would say that though

Kurt was a good guitarist in that his riffs were unbelievably infectious, rather than being complicated. If your looking for a bad musician in this band its Krist.:p
Nirvana, for me, started everything musicwise. I think In Utero is their masterpiece album but I do still like a bit of Bleach every now and then

Giblet

Hey Krist played Lounge Act, that's cool enough in my book

Doctor J

There's nowhere to hide for anyone who sucks in three piece band. He's a decent bassist and no mistake.

Patricide

Yea i used to think he was poor, but then i saw some footage of him playing in the nirvana box set and around the net and my opinion dramaticly changed, not the greatst but hes good enough.

Well, since we have a smart ass, let me state it bluntly: No text speak in this forum.

Why can't we all just get along *cries*

I haven't listened to nirvana for years

but they changed my life and i'll always love them. They were the band that did it for me and turned me onto the music I like now.

in utero is a master piece and when I hear songs from that album from time to time it sends shivers down my spine. Stunning stuff.

Kurt's playing taught me to play too, just the fun basic loud raw style that I love.

Great band, I have a lot of time for them even though I don't listen to them anymore.

really, really, just ... not that good a band at all.

Undergod

An objective fact, then?

Ah now, at least say why...

It bothers me when people say he was a bad guitarist too. His riffs are easy to learn but it's not easy to come up with them.

The problem is a lot of people rate guitarists on how fast they can shread, ITS NOT ALL ABOUT SPEED OR ABILITY PEOPLE, i mean its a part but writing cathcy tunes is a very important part of being a guitarist.

I agree and disagree with you there.

Songwriting is definetly a much needed talent in music, but even then I don't think Cobain really did anything fantastic. Sure, he wrote some great catchy little songs, but they really just followed the tired old verse/chorus/verse/chorus/verse pop song formula. There really was no great songwriting talent there at all in my opinion.

Of course, if all you want from music is a catchy little song, then sure, Nirvana was great. But it just wasn't for me.

Used to love them, I still like them now but I have to say that they are criminally over-rated. IMO they weren't even in the top 3 bands from seattle at that time, never mind the the top few in the world, or one of the greatest ever.

They have left a legacy but their music isn't as special or life defining as it is made out to be (thats just my personal opinion!)
