Just who in the hell is that. You obviously know nothing about music or art and the fact that you would take your time to trash a dead man whose music influenced more people than most musicians who have actually made it through the 27 and out period that all icons endure. He is the epitome of what a true 90's musician was and his lyrics about anguish and pain seem to ring truer for those who like myself used drugs to medicate their problems. Do yourself a favor and go back to authoring your star trek blog and leave the musical opinions to those who actually know what they are talking about and have attended a concert in their life. 761288@blogcritics.org Fri, 24 Oct 2008 23:43:13 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-703869 im going to miss him a lot :( 703869@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:39:33 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-703868 i think the person that wrote this page dosnt know what the hell there talking about ...thats what i think cuzz kurt was sooo awesome and his band kicked ass thats what i think :P 703868@blogcritics.org Wed, 19 Mar 2008 13:38:04 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-685547 Kurt was a great person. Enough said. To the people who think he is not an "icon", he isn't. He never wanted to be. It is what we make of him that he is. In my view, he is the greatest musician ever. You don't have to be great at guitar to become a legend. 685547@blogcritics.org Sun, 6 Jan 2008 05:55:02 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-683607 lemme just say imma start my own religion and worship Kurt Cobain !!!! Like the Catholics and the Jews believe in different religions this is a matter of my choice and you can f@&#!!!! off .... Oh, no I said a dirty word .... LOL 683607@blogcritics.org Sat, 29 Dec 2007 08:54:20 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-680570 Do you people realise how pathetic this bicuring is? I my view Nirvana as a fantastic band that i enjoy yet today. But Paul Simon is great aswell. In the end Music is all about taste so theres no right or wrong wich people obviously failes to understand. Fact is that Nirvana and Cobain became extremely successful and theres no suprise that when he died people started to worshipp him. Ridiculous in my view, but so is Al's warped view on music. All this is, is trying to force their opinions on to others. 680570@blogcritics.org Sun, 16 Dec 2007 11:33:37 EST http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-647280 And I forget just what I taste And yet I guess it makes me smile I found it hard, it was hard to find Oh, well, whatever, nevermind. 647280@blogcritics.org Fri, 2 Nov 2007 01:12:01 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-645743 Why does eveyone concentrate on his personal life so much? That isn't what made him famous. Well...I guess he sold a lot of records after he died...a testament to the sanctimoniuos nature of the average human, but Nirvana was pretty damn big before that. It's almost like his music is secondary these days. He was a good songwriter, and a more accomplished musician than most people were aware of, and a good lyricist. He managed to connect with the youth at the time who felt alienated and outcasted from society, THAT is why he became a cultural icon. But mostly, it's because he wrote some damn awesome music. 645743@blogcritics.org Sat, 27 Oct 2007 23:40:29 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-642422 i was 6 when he died. so i didnt get to experience nirvana(i was so young). in mid to late 90's ive heard of nirvana and like them. some complains about how kurt was overrated and how he played guitar. i think hes a good guitarist. even though he didnt play guitar like jimmy page, eric clapton, jimi hendrix etc. probably the impact he did on the music scene in the world that made kurt SOMETHING. 642422@blogcritics.org Fri, 19 Oct 2007 12:16:54 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-629878 just everyone shut the fuck up. no ones going to agree, everyone thinks different things. i dont think kurt really cares what you thought, your not proving anything just leave him and his music alone, it is a thing of the past... and to some of us who have nothing in the future we can hold on to it and have some hope. seriously what the hell do you know. 629878@blogcritics.org Sat, 8 Sep 2007 01:14:25 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-623889 This will be one comment and only one. So dont write back on this First of all, Al, music doesnt have to be complicated to sound good, and thats my and probably alot of other persons around the worlds opionion, i dont care what yours is. Second i'm not going to criticize Prince, or who ever you listend to because i respect the diffrent gengres and styles that follow with them, but this i'll tell you, if had been a fan of Nirvana when Kurt died(i was like 2 years old at that time) i really think i would have cried, and i'm dead serius. Even if i had been like 28 years old. Sure the man had some bad habits but it's not the bad habits that make him a icon, i respect the man because of the music he created. His voice was like no others. The music they created made me feel something i had never really felt before, like when i first heard Smells Like The Teen Spirit. And i dont know if it's because your like 40 and thats why you cant relate to the song, the way it's composed is just pure genius to MY ears, and alot of other people think that aswell. Your right about one thing though. He was a rather "Crappy" role model what with the drugs and all that, but i respect him even though the drugs, he was obviusly sick of depressions and fought it with them, and being drug addicted isnt always the smokers own fault, maybe he was in group or clique, where they forced him over and over agin. Why was he depressed? Well maybe the fact that he never wanted to be famous, as he said "Famous is the last thing i wanted to be" , witch is also the answer why he didnt have joy of his succes. And last it hurts inside when you say all this. You wouldnt like it if we called your idols idiots because of they're unwanting lifestyles. Bye 623889@blogcritics.org Tue, 21 Aug 2007 13:26:50 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-623476 This was written by someone who has no clue what Kurt Cobain meant and means to his fans. He also has not done any research to see that many people do not believe that Kurt "blew his brains out". Elvis was a drug addict and so were the Beatles at one time. The people who attack Kurt now are the same people who attacked Kurt 15 years ago... jealous and petty. "I Hate Myself and Want to Die" was a joke... listen to both versions of the song before you judge it! Kurt was an icon and still is... do you hear Purple Rain on a popular radio station in 2007?? Hell no... but I hear Nirvana everyday. Comparing Nirvana to Prince or Terrence Trent D'Arby is like a bad joke, apparently the author does not have much taste. D'Arby was a one hit wonder and while he might have talent, no one cared in the 90's and no one cares now. Write about something you have the brain power to understand next time, music is not your forte. 623476@blogcritics.org Mon, 20 Aug 2007 02:52:15 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-610048 I love Nirvana's music. It's deeper than alot of the other stuff you get. They did GREAT work. Kurt Cobain is an icon partly BECAUSE he was in so much pain, and people can relate to that. He went through so much shit he was tough to withstand it for so long. 610048@blogcritics.org Wed, 11 Jul 2007 18:53:36 EDT http://blogcritics.org/archives/2004/04/05/020206.php#comment-576626 Courtney love problay killed Kurt. and he didnt rape a retarded girl in highschool.
