Lady Macaiodh Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 [COLOR=darkblue]As some of you might know, today (Feb. 20th) is the birthday of Kurt Cobain. He would have been 36. It's been kind of hard to miss because of all the tributes on TV. Out of respect, I just wanted to say something. Love him or hate him, music would not be the same today without his influence. Thanks for everything, Kurt.

treton_noir Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 *beats D_A with a big*ss stick* jk, man. Kurtis Donald Cobain aka the voice of a generation... i love kurt like a brother. i feel so connected to him. "It's been kind of hard to miss because of all the tributes on TV." im almost glad i missed them. if i had watched them, i would be horribly depressed for days. i always get that way when i see kurt on tv. does anybody think thats weird? my therapist does... >.> <.< *crickets churp* hmm... i cant explain how much mr. cobain means to me. I LOVE KURT! LM-thanks for starting this thread. i was going to, but lacked the time to do so. "Kurt Cobain, the lead singer of Nirvana who committed suicide shortly after the band hit the top." yeah. he, um..., had a little accident with a shotgun blast to the face.

I like people who respect others and themselves. Cobain didnt respect himself and I dont know about how he respected others. But leaving behind a world of fans, a wife, a child and a fortune that billions of people in this world would die for, is just plain selfish and wrong.

Bing Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 [size=1][color=darkblue]Ah, Kurt Cobain, the voice that influenced a generation. I'm sure he is somewhere, rocking out with other people who are dead, like Bob Marley, and George Harrison, and Jimi Hendrix. Rock on Kurt, you are a big influence on my life.[/color][/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/B][/QUOTE] [COLOR=darkblue]They showed all of Unplugged with behind the scenes stuff. I was glad I saw that. I don't think that's weird. Maybe your therapist thinks it's unheathly to suppress it (if you were serious about the therapist thing) but it's a pretty normal reaction if you ask me. All my Nirvana CDs were destroyed by a certain ******* (you know who) so I was glad all that stuff came on. My VCR was running like crazy. And he didn't kill himself! It was a conspiracy orchestrated by Courtney Love! Well, maybe. I won't go into all the evidence. Even so, I think it's pretty messed up to judge someone for something like that, because we're not them. I'd rather focus on his life than his death, anyway.

Semjaza Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 I hate to even get into all this stuff, but based on all the books and articles and videos I've seen on this subject, I really don't think that's the case. He has so much drugs pumped into him (he had something like 70 times the lethal dose) he would have been dead before he even pulled that trigger (or even picked up the gun). Either way, it was his life and I don't think the want of the fans should even be included in what [i]he[/i] should or should not do. But all that is not important now at all... all that is is the mark that Nirvana and Cobain left on the industry and many people. Finally kicking it the industy its *** and showing people that there was still some great stuff possible and bringing things back down to earth (I think on a whole, music was stagnating at that time - in terms of what was [i]popular[/i] at least). I'm starting to think that's all happening over again honestly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin Posted February 21, 2003 Share Posted February 21, 2003 The music industry needs another band like Nirvana to come along and kick it in the rear. The only things popular nowadays are rap, pop punk(which I'm beginning to [i]loathe[/i]), and Justin Timberlake. It's hard for me to understand how this is possible when I listen to lesser known bands that are SO much better than those that are popular. It baffles me, honestly. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Musahi Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 Nirvana is my favorite band of all time. It's the only thing I can listen to no matter what mood I am in. If I am sad it never fails to cheer me up. Come as you are, is probably my favorite song of all time. "Come as you are" is the best advice you could give anyone, on anything really. I feel sorry about Kurt's death, but I am not going to mourne him or get depressed over it. Mainly because he commited suicide, he took his own life. It was his choice, obviously he didn't want to live. Also I don't know much about the whole Courtney Love thing, so I'll just go by with what I have been told.

treton_noir Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 i believe it was Jonathon Winters (comedian) who said something to the effect of "Kurt Cobain...what a waste of air! he couldnt play, couldnt sing, and couldnt come to grips with the fact that they were paying him to do it."

Justin Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 I'm sorry, but as much as I'd like not to believe it myself, the more I read up on Kurt, the more convinced I am that he killed himself. :/ I wish that there were more real grudge bands. -Justin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Semjaza Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 It's called "grunge" heh. And Kurt had some problems, but if you do read enough you'll find that most of them were getting sorted out before his death. He was found with his little case of drugs neatly put away, and of course with a shotgun. Like I said before, he had something like 70 times the lethal dose in his blood. He'd be dead near instantly. He wouldn't have time to clean off his seringe, put it all away neatly, point the gun and pull the trigger. It just isn't possible. But honestly, what does it matter anymore? He is dead, there is nothing any of us could have done. I really don't like having to tarnish the memory of him, Nirvana and the music with a million conspiracy theories and guesses on what really happened. No one knows. All I know is that Nirvana kicked *** and they still sound great today (regardless of how long it's been, which really isn't that long heh).

Heaven's Cloud Posted February 22, 2003 Share Posted February 22, 2003 [color=indigo]You know how your parents remember exactly where they were when JFK died? Well I remember exactly where I was when I heard about Kurt Cobains death...I was eating a peach, going to the dentist, when I heard the news on 94.5. Now many of you may say that Kurt isn't nearly as important as JFK. Well to me he is way more important, so eat my shorts!!![/color] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
