We'll Always Remember you Kurt Cobain

Douglas Robinson12 said:To doesn't strike me as particularly upbeat to me; it sounds more like irony.

I honestly have no clue what Kevin Chavez3 meant by "super-positive"...😁 but when it comes to music meant for drunken jumping around,👍

...in my opinion... of course it's ironic. But the sound itself? It's pure, raw emotion.🙂

🙂

yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah

Kevin Chavez3 said:Wait, is that bit up there from the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy? It sounds so familiar...

Nope... keep guessing! 🙂

Rest in Peace Kurt Cobain
total DEATH!

😂

Is there anyone here who actually listened to Nirvana while Cobain was still alive, or did everyone just start tuning in later? I stopped listening to Nirvana around '98, but I started back in the '92-'93 era... I guess I didn't really mourn him any particular year. But I definitely felt it for Layne... 5. 4. 2002. 🙂

Douglas Robinson12 said:If you actually want to pay your respects, just write Rest in Peace. The way you phrased it sounds incredibly harsh—like "rest in pieces." Pieces of what? Ash?

The guy had his head blown out by a shotgun, and you're seriously questioning why I used the phrase "rest in pieces"?😕

My bad, I totally misread what you were getting at there. He was cremated, after all. Plus, "rest in pieces" just sounds way too gnarly to say, unless you're specifically trying to be disrespectful or something.

I haven't a clue... 😁

I played them a little bit back in the day on cassette tapes. (Did I mention I still don't even own a CD player? Man, my childhood was rough... I didn't even have the time to sit around crying over Kurt 🙂 damn them all ) 😁

Anyway, In Utero is definitely my favorite album.

Honestly, everyone should just go take their own lives right now; it’s probably the only way they could actually show some real respect to Cobain.🙂

Is there anyone actually in this group who was listening to Nirvana while Cobain was still alive, or did you all just jump on the bandwagon later? Personally, I drifted away from Nirvana around '98, though I started digging into them back in the '92-'93 era... To be perfectly blunt, I didn't spend a single year mourning him. However, I certainly felt the loss when it came to Layne... 5. 4. 2002. 🙂

...was in Chicago back in '94... 🙂

So, I've got this Nirvana shirt on today with the yellow smiley face.. 🙂 at work..

Been listening to Nirvana, specifically Nevermind... but the real Nevermind. Not the version that blew up on MTV, but how it actually sounded before "grunge" was even a thing... man, what a shock... what an album. You have no idea how that hit back then. Pure punk rock... in that context... totally refreshing... melodic like the Pixies, but angrier, more rebellious.. yeah. Early Nirvana had bits of TAD and Screaming Trees and punk mixed in.. everything just condensed and exploded in Nevermind.. that's it.. it was just that.

Seattle '94 sucked big time👎 🙂

shadowgardener12 said:Seattle '94 was a complete disaster👎 🙂

... honestly... I was right in the pit and it was absolute hell... I barely even remember the actual concert (who knows why 🙂 ) 😁 😉

..but looking back today, I'm actually glad I went... even if it was maddening.

Honestly, I'm just glad I missed it

It wasn't even really Nirvana at that point... just a half-dead Kurt barely playing anything in front of some screaming crowd of girls. Saw a recording later... it was pretty low energy...

shadowgardener12 said:Honestly, I am just incredibly relieved that I wasn't there.

...ahhh... well then... in that case, I am equally relieved that you weren't there either... 🙂 😬

Ten years after Kurt Cobain passed away, some people are still claiming the legendary Nirvana frontman was murdered. If it wasn't Cobain himself who pulled the trigger, then who did? Well, it looks like Courtney might be...

A fresh conspiracy theory has surfaced with the release of the book Love & Death : The Murder of Kurt Cobain, penned by American journalists Max Wallace and Ian Halperin alongside private investigator Tom Grant.

Before the chaos following April 5, 1994, unfolded, Kurt's widow, Courtney Love, actually hired Grant to help track down her husband's whereabouts.

All three showed up at a press conference in New York City this Monday, where an original audio recording of a conversation between Love and Grant was played. For many, the tape only fueled suspicions of a cover-up.

The authors argue that Cobain couldn't have possibly pulled the trigger himself given the sheer amount of heroin in his system, noting that even the fingerprints on the shotgun were inconclusive.

They’ve linked these claims to an audio clip of Courtney Love, which suggests there might have been a second suicide note, that the couple was actually headed for divorce, and that her claims about not knowing where her husband spent his final days are totally false.

Wallace says he’s stopped accusing Courtney of murder because they spent eight long years hunting for definitive proof. "But there's just no evidence that Courtney Love killed Kurt Cobain. And we looked—we looked hard."

Co-author Halperin has challenged Love to go back and explain her actions from a decade ago and to finally release Kurt's medical records.

"Even if Courtney can prove she's innocent, it doesn't mean Kurt Cobain wasn't murdered. She should be calling for a forensic investigation to find out who really killed her husband."

This isn't the first time these authors have poked at the mystery surrounding Kurt's death. Back in 1999, they released a book with a very similar title: Who Killed Kurt Cobain? : The Mysterious Death of an Icon.

Speculation regarding Cobain's death started swirling almost immediately after his body was found. Most of these theories were famously explored in Nick Broomfield's 1998 documentary, Kurt and Courtney.

Everyone has their own little theory, but honestly, I'm just gonna 🙂 go my own way
, that's what works best for me...

s.a.y said:He took his own life. Honestly, I’d probably do the same if I had to marry that woman.

🙂

Black metal smells like teen spirit in bloom in a heart-shaped box.

Exactly.

Screw you, smartass. 🙄

Should we take a moment to remember Layne Staley from Alice in Chains?

Look, let’s be real about who actually cared. Staley's music isn't exactly life-changing for me, and strangers pass away every single day, so I don't find myself losing sleep over him...

Mr. Wrong said:Staley’s music doesn't hold much weight in my life—besides, strangers pass away every single day, so I don't particularly lose sleep over him.

I don't obsess over him either, though his work carries more significance to me than Cobain's...😉
