Re: Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating....
What is popular isn't always great, what is great isn't always popular. Nirvana was just a much about pop culture, image, etc. compare contrast the shit musically in welcome to the jungle with slts, it's not even close. And talk about quiet going to a loud explosion, look no further than My Michelle. I liked Lithium a lot.

Re: Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating....
I'm with john divney ,cobain was amazing....fuck all y'all lol
Agreed! Nevermind and In Utero are great albums with no filler or bullshit in them. 
Re: Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating....
Cobain was the greatest American songwriter this side of Dylan. CitR wouldn't have been fit to wipe Kurt's ass.
His song-craft was just the greatest of his many talents. E.g. Polly - are you kidding me? Everything else comes second to his songwriting ability.
Not great songs? I dunno what to say, really. His contribution to the great American songbook couldnt possibly be overstated. He simply was blessed w/an extraordinary gift very few storytellers can match.
That ^ is without question the most ridiculously absurd post I have ever read. 
Re: Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating....
TWAT was better than SLTS. But Teen Spirit would still have been a bigger single, and it has nothing to do with great lyrics. The big joke when it came out was that no one could even understand what Kurt was saying.
That's the point...it didn't matter what he was saying. He gets way too much credit. Clearly he had talent, but to mention him with Dylan is a complete joke.
Re: Bumblefoot not happy? Speculating....
WHOA WHOA let's don't get crazy now
Teen Spirit is an amazing song
don't let the 21 years plus how over played and worn out it is all of a sudden make it suck.
Kurt has a lyric in that song better than anything Axl ever wrote. Real Talk being honest.

Complete fallacy, but believe what you want to believe.
maybe "nothing" to do with quality is a bit of a stretch but other than that I stand by my statement. Since you added nothing to "prove" my opinion is a fallacy I will continue to believe so. Thanks for your permission though. Very big of you.
Revisioniist history at its best
DUDE every radio station was chomping at the bit to play this new GNR song. Played it on the hour every hour
but no one liked it cause it is mediocre so they stopped playing it.
Slash doesn't even have a fucking label and hit number 1.

They were not chomping at the bit to play it, so stop that revisionist history. Some douche DJs actually refused to play the singles because of Slash not being there. So stop, already. CD did chart well, despite everything. We've already said a song doesn't have to be good to be a hit, and chart rankings have nothing to do with quality.
And we weren't talking about SLTS sucking. A couple guys said they thought it was overrated, and don't like Kurt, but that wasn't the argument.

I like Nirvana; I just have a realistic opinion of what they were.
