Re: Great Axl & Kurt article
OMG... I've said time and time and time and time again that In Utero was that format, and for the most part Nevermind.
John referenced BLEACH, and i've been talking no melody for awhile on that.
Why is this such a hard concept? Nirvana BECAME more melodic as time went on. When they started out they were a noise/punk band.
There's a reason In Utero is my favorite Nirvana album - it's their most melodic.
Re: Great Axl & Kurt article
Yeah, I didn't mean to be a dick, but I was kind of just shocked that what I was saying was not an absolute given to even a casual fan - Nirvana got more melodic. It was a progression. And it seemed the more they did, the more Cobain didn't like what they were doing and where they were going, which sucks. Nirvana was at it's best when Cobain was losing interest - imho.
I get what you're saying, dude. The early music was much more influenced by Black Flag, but Bleach did have some cool melodies.
Yeah, About A Girl is a great song that in alot of ways was a preview to the direction Nevermind would take - for the better.
Re: Great Axl & Kurt article
This is actually a pretty shitty article when u dissect it all.
Kurt cause he wanted someone who knew right from wrong?
WTF is that bullshit? Did Kurt and Courtney not get their newborn child taken away cause they chose drugs over their child?
Also this bullshit about Kurt being this big anti sellout true artist is also horseshit. Any band that changes a song title so they can be sold at Walmart loses my respect. any band that rails against corporate magazines but yet is plastered all over every cover loses my respect., Nirvana were as authentic as Alanis Morrissette.
Re: Great Axl & Kurt article
Agreed, the Nirvana thing was a created image within Kurt's own mind.
I also never liked how people assumed Axl was wrong about everything he did. It didn't matter the context he referred to niggers, faggots and immigrants, he was automatically wrong. No different than the women abuse stuff. Was he eventually proven wrong, yeah, but we have a bad habit in society of ignoring females being abuse and automatically convict the man.
So no, I don't think Kurt knew right from wrong, considering Axl was tried and convicted in the court of public opinion, before he even responded.
Re: Great Axl & Kurt article
Yeah the whole "Kurt knew right from wrong" bs is just that. He had a lot of personality issues and drug issues that would not be considered the right way to act.
But honestly, I don't recall his feud with Axl getting that much attention. He had some kind of feud with Eddie Van Halen as well, but that didn't get media attention either.
Re: Great Axl & Kurt article
It wasn't that Kurt knew right from wrong and Axl didn't. He was comparing the two back then, based on an example of One In A Million and Nirvana telling the public (in the liner notes of Insecticide) that they didn't want racists, homophobes and people who mistreated women to listen to their music or go to their shows. He was comparing the different messages the two gave out.
He pointed to Kurt's hypocrisy also, about living like a rock star and hiding it at the same time he was condemning Axl for it.
I remember the Kurt and Axl feud being played up. Not to the extent it is now, though.
