The GN'R vs Nirvana thread

[boston]

this is older than dirt, go watch some more VH1 reahashes of 80's & 90's MTV

[-Jack-]

madagascar isn't even released yet and already covered, axl is a living legend and with no new material in 15 years he has the biggest buzz in rock, kurt just... shall we say... died?

the only thing kurt "ended" was his fucking life.

i'm out.

biggest buzz in rock? im sorry, but to be honest even kevin federline has more buzz than ?white-trash? axl rose.... face it dude, RIGHT NOW cobain is a music legend, and unless axl dies.. if he keeps on the way he is doing he is just going to fade away..
 

Yeah bro Kurt Cobain the living legend!!!! REPRESENT! Bland overrated music for all!

 

DEAD FUCKING HORSE.

[Walapino]

He didn't save rock, but he helped end the crap.  and some people are still bitter about it.  Sad.

How on earth did he end the crap?
They actually killed the music scene, only shit after shit came after this "grunge" thing. I stopped listening to new bands from 96-99 because it just sucked a donkeys cock!
MTV went on a rampage trying to get a new poser and started all this pop making bands or rebellious pets like Manson and nu-metal. Ugh Nirvana didnt save anything, they just killed it by bringing it down to subpar standards.

Dont get me wrong Nirvana music is ok, i like their cds but all this saving stuff is laughable at best. MTV made him a legend dont be fooled people!

Why are you even here then?

I love Nirvana but that doesn't mean I have to take sides. ?It's ridiculously hypocritical for you to come on here insulting Axl Rose implying that he was some sort of fad when you are discussing him 20 years after he first became known. ?

[HuskerTornado]

Yeah, a definite deadhorse. ?Kurt was a dirtbag. ?He and Nirvana have to be the most grossly overrated band of the past few decades.

What's truly sad is that if you die earlier than expected (even if you kill yourself), you are treated as an immortal by a generation of mindless mtv viewers.

[AxlRose4eva1]

ended all the crap? ?More like ended all the talent and created a day and age where bands just needed an image without the talent. ?Everyone talks about how grunge came and ended the decadence and basis on the image, all it did was change the image and make it ok to not have talent. ?Kurt Colbain couldnt sing, play or write songs worth a damn. ?Look at Geoff Tate from Queensryche, 500x the talent of any grunge singer yet gets written off as being the leader of a hair band.

Kurt was an idiot, Axls rant about how their baby should be taken away was so true, look how right Axl was. ?

[kaasupoltin]

..Kurt Colbain couldnt sing, play or write songs worth a damn.
?

It's an opinion. I think Kurt has amazing voice, and the music is just great.

[Carlos_f_Rose]

I totally loathed nirvana, but then I actually "listened" to them and they rock...

[art vandalay]

nirvana are one of my favourite bands but compared to guns n roses theyre nothing. its like comparing cordial to coca cola. coca cola wins baby.

[Rocksteady]

Couldn't have said it better myself 

[art vandalay]

cordial has a nice taste and it quenches your thirst a little but coca cola tastes incredible and u get addicted to it and you wanting to come back to the fridge for more

[-Jack-]

I dig Nirvana's music but I don't know why would he think GN'R doesn't know how to write good lyrics or music. 

Nirvana was progressive rock.

Guns N' Roses weren't progressive, and Kurt saw them as a hindrance to the music scene.

Can you explain how Nirvana was progressive rock? =/

I agree with the Queensryche thing. They've been treated like a hair band and haven't had the recognition they deserve ( i think in the states mostly).... but what some people don't know is that their music and some of their records are truly? ?apprecciated by big names in the metal world and therefore have been inspiration to the ones into progressive metal. I like them!

on topic: I never liked Nirvana and never will. well never liked that all grunge thing anyway. ( i dedicate "kill'em all" to that crap? ...) just my opinion.

Exactly coca cola is adictive and cordial is just good, but that doesnt mean that both have to be compare 
Wait what are we talking about?   

[mikegiuliana]

funny to see a thread about two bands that ended about the same time still fighting

[DCGNR2006]

Lost all respect for Cobain when he called GNR talentless. I still like Nirvana and always will, but he said the same crap about Eddie Vedder and Pearl Jam.
I know a lot of people who thought Nirvana was talentless. It's funny how no one ever called Cobain a genius untill he blew his throat out of the back of his neck.....Ironic

you brought up a 2 year old thread to say that  thanks

Very well said.

I believe Nirvana is one of the most over-rated bands of alltime.

[ARC]

Nirvana were a great band.

I can't think of a bad Nirvana song and In Utero is one of the best rock albums of all time in my opinion. ?

[Mr Rage]

I used the title to get peoples attention!!!

Do you find it intresting that even after all these years most rock fans would rather see axl make his gnr follow up than have nirvana still make albums!

I know cobain is dead before any1 makes any wise ass remarks about it but i personally don't see many sites or shows on TV saying "if cobain was alive what kinda of music would nirvana be making, would they be the biggest band in the world still"
just thought i would raise this descusion because nirvana supposedly but GnR outta of business!!!
and here we are 10 years after his death and GnR still are more important to rock music than ever.

If this is in the wrong thread please move it!
A little something to get your minds working!
