Geesh, kids these days don't know their history, Nirvana didn't kill metal, they killed "Hair Metal", BIG difference !

Remember that in 1989/1990, Motley Crue, Bon Jovi, Whitesnake and Def Leppard were the biggest bands of the world ( though hair metal was an american phenomenon)

I remember reading interviews from the bands of that glam/ LA scene.
They basically said that in 1991, their record company changed their priorities overnight, with the word Sunset Strip morphing into Sub Pop !!!

Winger were killed literally by Beavis and Butthead !

Not only that, but the music itself is lack-luster and the lyrics are a joke. So the whole Nirvana craze doesn't work for me. I could care less about people who say they killed Metal or what have you, because that sort of talk is retarded. Nirvana's just a lame-ass band that has a lead singer who can pump out some half-decent vocal melodies. Blown way out of proportion, kind of like Alice in Chains, only worse.

Kill yourself

















I bet you were waiting for the punchline, no joke, Kill yourself

I wasn't expecting anything, really... only the wimpy response of a Nirvana fanboy. I bet you have a Cobain Shrine in your basement.

LOL, she's obviously never heard of David Bowie.

As for Nirvana - I love em. Love the entire grunge thing, it was the music of my teens. Love it and still cant get enough of thrashing out Nirvana, Dinosaur Jr, Mudhoney, Sonic Youth, Breeders, the list goes on and on. Fucking fantastic scene with fantastic music, some of the best years of my life so far.

Exactly. Look at Metallica, they were still going strong.
