Nevermind

Kurt Cobain wasn't some amazing guitarist, he wasn't an incredible wailer. He was just an ordinary dude from a shit whole Washington city like myself.

When Cobain wrote shit he wrote what he truly felt, which already makes him better than 80 percent of bands. He wasn't trying to become a famous rich rock star, although he certainly enjoyed it for a while. He wrote his damned emotions.

He wasn't a great guitarist, although he was a solid rythm guy considering he sang like a f---ing psycho while playing. He's a sloppy guitarist he uses alot of effects. He puts effects to good use too, getting a certain sound for each song that matches the sentiment in the lyrics. He wasn slightly more than a three chord bitch, and he wrote some of the coolest chord progressions ever. Listen to In bloom. That song sounds amazing guitar wise, simple but badass.

Nirvana came along and blew all the fake shit out of music, hell even James Hetfield praises Cobain. If Nirvana hadn't come along, music would be alot shittier today than it is. Face it, most people can't choose music for themselves, they have to eat up whatever shit the radio throws to them. Nirvana came along and gave all of us who hated those people something to listen to. Sure, Nirvana was blown out of proportion. No band should get that kind of attention, but still, many bands have been alot worse and gotten more praise.

I wouldn't say this is their best album, it's a really raw, intense album, where In Utero is just pissed off and kind of eerie. Nevermind has cool chord progressions, with a dirty distortion heavy sound, thumping bass that just goes perfectly with everything, and over the top drumming. On Nevermind, Nirvana goes all out and rocks as hard as they can. It's pure intensity, very powerful. The amount of emotion and energy in each song, along with the masterful lyrics, and true meaning in each song, really makes this album nearly perfect.

They rock their fucking asses off in this one, and they are completely honest about it. This album just gives off a vibe of 'fuck you, like us or don't'. This is an album and kicks your ass and doesn't apologize. It is as powerful as an album get's, in my opinion.

There's Teen Spirit, everyone know's that one, which is a very interesting song, and it really embodied something, but it is only the tip of the iceberg. Lithium is pure emotion, it kicks your ass. What makes Nirvana so good is that they play their shit as if they don't care what you think, forget how famous they got and how much money they made, forget everything about them, and listen to this album, you can't fake this kind of power. This album is genuine, from the repressed anger of Teen Spirit, to the tortured pain and regret in Lithium, to the apathetic emotion of On A Plain, to the whistful narrative power of In Bloom, this album is something else.

Too many people write Nirvana off, I can't stress how important it is to keep an open mind with this album. Try to forget everything about that era, and listen to this. It will kick your ass.

My interpretations of the album...

Teen Spirit - Repressed anger unleashed, disgust for the "establishment." Apathetic feelings towars the good that remains in society. 10 Powerful song. You can really feel the anger in this one, here Cobain is just mad, and he lets you know it. A real masterpiece, although it was overdone, Nirvana was about much more than this sentiment, and Cobain wanted to get that out, and did with In Utero. The palm muting in the signature chord riff, really brings out the anger here. The solo is perfect with that watery sort of stoned distortion, it all builds up to that simple but effective solo with the "nur nah," plucking of the b and high E strings on the first fret, and the white noise of the higher b and E string sounds, followed by the signature chord progression. This song is pure emotion. The simple 1111 1111 4444 4444 bass line is simple but works to perfection, and the drum work also matches perfectly. Masterpiece.

In Bloom - Narrative of the band wagon bitch created by the MTV society. 8 This song is eerie. When you consider it was written before Nirvana was anything, it's creepy how it describes many people who became band wagon fan's of Teen Spirit, and abused the power and sentiment, pretending to understand, but just following the leader. This song is kind of off balance, the sentiment changes from the beginning to end, kind of like a spacey mind. The bass line is perfect. Great song. Fuzzy fuzz distortion, and the verse, beautiful. 'But he, don't know what it means, don't know what it means when I say'.

Come As You Are - Apathetic anthem. This is like an ode to your girlfriend, after all sorts of emotions and pain and fear, you finally just decide, come as you are. 10 When all the pain disappears and is replaced with apathy, and the fear of what lies ahead becomes the gratefulness of what's happening in the present. The treble-ee, chorus-ee, plucky sounds of the beginning riff and the signature white noise sound, and then the dirty distortion happy chorus. Beautiful. Nice bass line. The drums steal the show here if not for the guitar work, the drumming is genius, very intelligent. As par for the course on this album, the sentiment changes rapidly and is very apathetic in that 'I don't give a shit' way. Very beautiful. Masterwork.

Breed - When you're really frustrated and stressed out over a situation with your chick, and you decide to fix it all by just saying OK. 9 1/2 This song is Certainly not apathetic. The polar opposite of Come As You Are, it would of made sense for this to come before Come on the cd, but it doesn't. Breed is about the feeling you have, when in a relationship, when it seems to be going all wrong, and you are stressed and angry in general over the helplessness of making wrong moves everytime you open your mouth, and just can't find a way to say 'I love you'. You just go, you know what, whatever happens, it's ok, and I want to be with you during whatever shit happens. Something like that. Great song.

Lithium - This song is one of the best songs of all time, and it can't be interpretated in just one way. Relationship wise, it's when a relationship is just about failed, and the stress remains, but the anger of Breed subsides, and you just need to say, I love you. It isn't easy, and the relationship is probably already dead, but the feelings stay. You know somehow the other one feels the same, but you just can't reconcile. And finally, apathy takes over, and you just need to say the same thing in Breed but without any anger, with the apathy of Come but later on in a relationship when it's going to end. Inside, you know it's over, but it can't really be over right, which is what the chorus is saying. I love you but I'm not gonna crack, saying, I love you, but I can't give in anymore. If it ends, let it be, I can't fight it anymore. Somber indeed. 10 I also think of it as a way of narrarating the hopeless feeling you're bound to get living in Seattle, where it's raining, and cloudy, and then the sun comes out and shines on everything, and a cold warmth consumes you, which is the feeling you get from living in Seattle, I lived there. It's a little nihilistic, a little apathetic, a little angry, and a little sad. It's about reaching a point in life where you accept life, and the anger over things going wrong leaves, and you start to think, 'OK, life may be tough, but it really isn't that bad, look at the silver lining'. When you realize things aren't nearly as bad as they feel, and you start to accept life. Cool bass, very fuzzy nasty dirty distortion, simple guitar work. Beautiful song. Thank you Kurt, this one really means something.

Polly - This is as simple as Nirvana gets. Based on Kurt reading about some girl that was abducted and tortured or something. It's a simple narrarative basically, I can't really say. I just enjoy this one, I don't see any real meaning, you could find some, but generally, the meaning is about how cruel people can be and how disgusting it is. Nothing more. 7 Acoustic, pretty guitar work. Basic bass. Simple, pretty little acoustic ballad. It's nothing truly special, although it is very enjoyable, it's not anything like the power and meaning of Lithium. Interesting they put it in the very middle of 12 songs. Feels almost like a B-side.

Territorial Pissings - Here is where we get a little less intelligent and nihlistic, and just get pissed. Badass song. About the stupidity of machismo and how crazy it is that us dudes get so fucking arrogant and shit, just because we're men. 8 Badass song. I'm more like the type of guy they're making fun of here, but that's ok, I can take a joke. That's basically what this is, it's not overly emotional, it's just a fun, tough, rock song. It's an ass kicker, no true emotion other that the emotion of rocking out, this one is just a song for fun.

Drain You - Pick up perfectly after the feeling of Pissings, this is a real song, in the lieu of Lithium. There's real meaning here, but it retains the sense of fun found in Pissings. A perfect mix of fun, emotion, and meaning, so it will please all kinds of music fans. Very juvenile. I've read it's about sexual relationships, I certainly wouldn't be surprised, it feels like it's coming from a quirky, humorous, friendly angle while having some meaning, and a little emotion. Fun song. 8 Certainly about relationships, I think it feels like it's talking about the adolescent stupidity of teenage relationships, and how crazy they can be. Youthful, ya know. Fun song. The beginning strumming is just beautiful, and as always in this album, sets the mood for the rest of the song, on that guitar tone alone. As usual, the guitar sentiment is dumbed down so everyone can enjoy, while being interesting and fresh enough for even the most insanely guitar obsessed guitar nerds around. Nothing technically dazzling, of course, just abuse of a guitar with violent strumming, and weird feedbacks and fuzzy dirty unnatural yet completely natural distortions. Of course, wonderful chord progression as usual. Great drum work, matches the mood, simple bass.

Lounge Act - Picks up from Drain You, but gets more mature, and get's a focus on a sentiment and emotion for the first time since Lithium. It's still fun, but it's a serious song, and it's less frills guitar wise, it's simple and dumbed down, completely straightforward. Same old violent sloppy apathetic nihlistic arrogant strumming patterns, pretty heavy distortion, but not a feedback fest. Basic, but enjoyable and compatible bass line. Very good drum work, matches very nicely. About losing your girl to another guy, a friend of yours, and the competitive anger over this, and wanting your chick back, but not coming completely clean about it. Could mean that, except being confrontational about it. Or maybe it's just gibberish. 9 Fun song.

Stay Away - More complex song, not serious in the slightest, just a basic human emotion, of wanting someone to stay the fuck away, and making a song about it and jamming. 9 Brilliant, this is Nirvana for you. The apathy, and anger, and youthful excitedness, the carelessness, the lack of polish or direction, all while being 'clean' in that it's intelligently done, and genuine. Great.

On A Plain - This picks up Perfectly, only this time, we have a song of the emotional and sentimental strength of Lithium again. Pure beauty. About overwhelming emotion, crippling emotion, and dealing with that emotion. Dealing with pain and emotion you can't even comprehend, and being totally ok with it. Confusion, anger, fear, hopelessness, and then happiness. Trying to deal with that happiness when you think you shouldn't be happy, and trying to figure out why you're so fucking crazy. Being totally ok with all of this, and figuring all of this out completely alone, no chick, no friends, just you in a dark room with yourself and your thoughts. 11 Best song ever. The guitar is hauntingly beautiful, distortion but not ridiculous amounts. Same simple chords done over and over, beautiful. Great drumming, matches well. Bass as well. "Love myself, better than you, I know it's wrong, so what should I do". Masterpiece.

Something In The Way - Beautiful ending song, same value to ending an album as Release on Pearl Jam's Ten. A soft, powerfully gripping ballad of something that overwhelms you. In this case, something that blocks you from completing something, or doing something you need to do. Thing's that stop you from doing something you really want to do, but don't want to cause others grief by doing. Self reflection. 10 Masterpiece. Great song. Beautiful.

Music isn't who makes it, it's what it means to us. It can be written by the biggest stoner/metalfreak/rapfag/whatever imaginable but if it mean's something to you and you find meaning and relevance in the lyrics, then it's music. Many bands can make songs that sound catchy and you listen to, but only a few can makes songs that are truly music. Say It Ain't So by Weezer, On A Plain by Nirvana, Release by Pearl Jam, The Unforgiven by Metallica, Under The Bridge by The Red Hot Chili Peppers, Santeria by Sublime, Sober by Tool, Good For You by Third Eye Blind, Creep by Radiohead, Big Empty by Stone Temple Pilots, Just Like Heaven and Close To Me by The Cure, What You Are by Audioslave, Little Wing by Jimi Hendrix, NYC by Interpol, Iris by Goo Goo Dolls, For All The Cows by Foo Fighters, Perfection Through Silence by Finch, Seattle by Fastball, Glycerine And Comedown by Bush, Idiot Wind or anything by Bob Dylan, and Sunshine by Alice In Chains, some songs that bands have made that are truly music.

So, whatever you may think about Nirvana or "grunge," give this album a chance, then try Bleach and In Utero.

Just make sure you forget all the stereotypes and give this one a real chance.

[levelwisedallas]

Wow, they posted it. I'm special. Hahaha jk. Shizzle. Sarcasm btw. Err I've seen these thing's before, if you disagree with my review try not to just bitch at me, most people will anyways, but it's just a harmless opinion on an album.

[Traitor_99]

Cool review!

[levelwisedallas]

It took a long ass time to write, it better be ***ing cool. Heh. It's kind of nihilistic, I was in a good mood when I wrote it, so, sorry if it's kinda gay. I've been listening to some Rage Against the Machine today. Yeahhhh

[punkrocklove999]

thats cool man, im not a huge nirvana fan, but you got your point across and it was good.

[Thepluginbaby]

Your opinions are heard. Congratulations.

[Maverick49]

Yeah man, like totally BADASS and SHIT, its like filled with APATHY and NIHILISM and stuff. Like totally AWESOME dude. This is alright mate but its supposed to be an article, not a stoned conversation in your front room. You get some really good points across but you should get a dictionary/thesaurus or something! RIP Kurt, Nirvana were, are and will continue to be the greatest band ever. Oh and btw, Kurt could play, have you heard the solos from School and Serve the Servants? Not many people can play those!

[The Jin]

^^ and aero zeppelin

[levelwisedallas]

Hmmm, I should of put this in the review section. Heh, sorry.

[levelwisedallas]

Haha, a dictionary, funny, Maverick.

[rachellee]

Cool article man.. I like at the start how you seem like a nirvana fan, but you talk about Kurt and the music with honesty.. Like he isnt that great and stuff.. I think its cool how you analysed each song with a good amount of depth. It shows that you have really listened to each song and really interpeted them. Im only 15, and i found Nevermind one day in the Cd rack a few years ago, adn i started listening to it, without knowing anything about who Nirvana were.. And i thought it was the greatest thing i have ever heard before.. NOw im like the biggest fan.. and im really glad that i wasnt around when they were blown up, coz i can really appreciate them for what they are.. Great article again..

[sadistic_monkey]

Not bad, I disagree with some of the song meanings, but that's just my interpretations.

[Goodspeed]

Dude, do you think you could put together a coherent sentence without swearing everyother word? You rely way to much on words like S*** and F***. Try writing without showing your ignorence of the english language.

Other that that its a pretty good review

[levelwisedallas]

Ignorant of the English language!? That really annoys me, cussing does not make one ignorant. It's my style, I cuss alot, on the internet and in person, that's how I speak, I cuss to add some flavor. It doesn't make me ignorant.

[110]

HAHA. You want raw emotion? Go listen to some Son House.

I would like to believe that most people have gave Nirvanas work a good listen before judging them, as I have myself, so I don't really think this article is all that neccesary. The hypocrisy of your last statments amused me aswell.. Telling people to keep an open mind towards music and then calling rappers "rapfags".

Ehh.. this article reeks of shite.

[rachellee]

I know.. I swear all the time when im talking.. I could use proper english words.. but why would i.. I think swearing is like emphasising your sentence, it gets people attention more..

[levelwisedallas]

Rap fags?

Don't talk down to me, rachelle. Well, go ahead, you aren't proving anything to me. Tool.

[levelwisedallas]

Ohh, yeah, rap fags. Rap is a genre that speaks for itself, shouldn't of had to say fag. Sorta contradictory, but whatever.

[levelwisedallas]

I'm off, fun night. Peace everyone.

[numetaldude]

I know this comment's supposed to be on the article, which I think was fine, except for the fact that I'm dead sleepy and nicotine tripping when i read it. The ideas tend to be incoherent and jump from one to the other, at least to this sleepy brain of mine. But anyway, at least you wrote with utmost honesty. I am a Nirvana fan myself, though my Nirvana phase has almost worn out. I still think that they're one of the few bands that mattered in the 90's though.

As for rap, the last rapper to come close to the depth of Kurt Cobain was 2pac. I dislike rap music, but I just have to admire 2Pac's social awareness, and his profound lyrics. Aside from 2Pac, the only other rap music I listen to is that by the Bone Thugs. Pretty powerful shit, too. AS for the rest, I do think they are utter crap. "Rapfag" isn't an accurate word though.

[jolley_small]

that article 'kicked my ass' quite alot

[Arucard]

thats real good man

[janecoffin27]

Your swearing had no point. It looks like you just threw in "shit" and "***" and that sort when you could. Proper use of those words do emphasize certain things but just using them for no apparent reason makes you sound like a fool. I wouldn't consider hitting two strings to be a "solo" either. But I guess it was an ok review.

[Yahiko357]

Just make sure you forget all the stereotypes and give this one a real chance.

That's a bit hypocritical, don't you think? Everyone has to give the music you like a chance, but you can just cuss off the music everyone else likes because it's not in your list of true music. Because we all know it's your job to decide what everyone else listens to. Different songs move different people so live with it.

if it mean's something to you and you find meaning and relevance in the lyrics, then it's music.

Oh, really? So that means all instrumentals are not music considering they have no lyrics? What about singing without using actual words? I know so many awesome song with singing without using actual words. I guess that means it's not music. *sigh*

That's what's wrong with your attitude, if you personally don't like a song then it's not music. And stop trying to make yourself sound smart and make up stupid criteria to try to define true music. Seriously, grow up.

[punkrockdude2]

lame...people need to get over this band

[SOiLfan133]

I read the title and concluded you're an idiot. I read the first paragraph and concluded you deserve to be shot in the head, much like your 'hero' and 'martyr.'

I stopped reading after the first paragraph, and didn't bother reading all of your moronic friends argue that Nirvana was even close to being considered good.

Nirvana = Overrated.
Nirvana = Shit.
Nirvana = Dead.

Cobain shot himself, Grohl is a monkey, and that other guy no one gives a shit about is a politician.

Slob my knob, bastards.

[4stringshredder]

Amen, soilfan

[radioheadfan1]

cool article, i agree with the songs at the end

[MayallRules]

Your really hit the nail on the head with this one. I mean for a rock star that is to cowardly to face his problems, he sure make one hell of an idol. Lets face it; making angry distorted music, becoming succesful, then killing yourself, is what we should all aspire to do.
Emotion or no emotion, Nirvana wrote some good tunes at the right momment. They are not Gods, or musics last great hope, simply a band with some good tunes. But as far as a musical revolution goes, like you suggest; what about Britney Spears, and that following. Seems to me all "the fake shit" is still in music.

Sure nirvana had some hits and 'defined a generation,' but its time to grow up. The world is full of musicans who "rock as hard as they can."

[DanThompson]

Soilfan, it's people like you who stop the rest of us from landing a husband.

But anyway, I liked the article, I might not necessarily agree with some of the meanings, but, hey, it's your opinion. On the whole good.
On a side note, if you dislike Nirvana, the point of wasting your time reading something OBVIOUSLY referring to Nirvana and taking even more time to slag it off is a bit pointless really.

[DisgruntledDuck]

meh, stop over-analysing the damn band, i doubt kurt would have wanted all this attention after he blew himself away...they were an average band, who got lucky with a hit single. Punkrockdude2 nailed it-get over them. As for the review-it was ok in the sense that the general points made appeared to be written with genuine passion. Yet at the same time, that passion pisses all over the article.The swearing was unnessacary, and the article often repeated itself. I couldnt do much better though, peace out X

[griff1987]

why didnt you just put this in the 'review' section?

[mcww1]

"He was just an ordinary dude from a shit whole Washington city like myself.

When Cobain wrote shit he wrote what he truly felt"

thats as far as I got... I dont want to hear "shit" in everyother sentance... not worth reading

[Chris inman]

He puts effects to good use too

yes!

[tylmorelli30]

I am a long time niravna fan. and i have been listening to them since i was 9 years old. anything to make them more popular the better, and if you dont listen to nirana then you dont know what your missing. well ill tell you what your missing, the most catchy, well written songs you will ever hear in your life. i loved the article and i hope you write more like it.

[im not mental]

you sure like to cuss alot, don't you?

[EarthAD]

If Nirvana hadn't come along, music would be alot shittier today than it is









yeah, right. Nirvana is the reason we have bands like simple plan and blink 182 around....

[Michaelpalkowsk]

Yeah simple plan are ***ing crap but nirvana infulinced many decnt rock bands today.if nirvana never became famous then we would still be listning to the hair metal pish like motley crew.

[Scourge441]

I read the title and concluded you're an idiot. I read the first paragraph and concluded you deserve to be shot in the head, much like your 'hero' and 'martyr.'

Idiot.

Nirvana fans don't worship Kurt as a God. Only the ignorant ones do, and they don't deserve to be fans of the band.

But no, the idea of some Nirvana fans being smart can't seem to get through your thick skull. Ignorant tools like you see a Nirvana article and come in just to trash the band and insult us. If you don't like the band, don't read the friggin' article!

Anyway, now that I've vented my anger, the article was pretty good, although your interpretations of the songs probably aren't right. For example, Something In The Way is supposed to be about Kurt's life when he was kicked out of the house and had to live under a bridge, etc. It could be about what you said it was about, however. No one's ever gonna know, because Kurt's dead.

4 stars.

[KillRoy Ver 3.0]

Shouldn't this be under the reviews section?

[SLOWeMOTION21]

yeah, right. Nirvana is the reason we have bands like simple plan and blink 182 around....

Well the funny thing is that neither of these bands were influenced by Nirvana. Bands that Nirvana did influence are bands like Stone Temple Pilots and Pearl Jam. Bands like Blink and Simple Plan were influenced by bands like Green Day and the Cure.

[Nirvana12390]

This article had a lot of fu**ing cussing

[levelwisedallas]

'griff1987:
why didnt you just put this in the 'review' section?
KillRoy Ver 3.0:
Shouldn't this be under the reviews section?'
Yeah, my mistake, already acknowledged it.
'thats as far as I got... I dont want to hear "shit" in everyother sentance... not worth reading'
Ok.
'im not mental:
you sure like to cuss alot, don't you?'
Not denying it.
'yeah, right. Nirvana is the reason we have bands like simple plan and blink 182 around....'
Blink 182 is much better than Nelly or Nicole Simpson, don't you agree.
'I read the title and concluded you're an idiot. I read the first paragraph and concluded you deserve to be shot in the head, much like your 'hero' and 'martyr.'
He's not my hero, he was a pansy and a coward. He's not my damned martyr, I don't even really like Cobain, he was fairly annoying. I like his music., not even HIS music, the band's music.

[levelwisedallas]

'That's a bit hypocritical, don't you think? Everyone has to give the music you like a chance, but you can just cuss off the music everyone else likes because it's not in your list of true music. Because we all know it's your job to decide what everyone else listens to. Different songs move different people so live with it.'
I never said they had to, I asked them to. You make alot of assumptions, judging by your name you're probably a fan of anime. Err off topic. I give all music a chance, that doesn't mean I won't criticize it without hearing it like an ignorant cuss. I may say I hate the Beatles but when I recently gave them a shot I liked them. Don't base an argument against a person on one article they wrote. I don't care what everyone listens to, I was hoping some non fans would read this and give it a shot maybe, and like it. Just trying to spread a good thing, Jesus.
'Oh, really? So that means all instrumentals are not music considering they have no lyrics? What about singing without using actual words? I know so many awesome song with singing without using actual words. I guess that means it's not music. *sigh* '
I love instrumentals, they can be more moving than lyrical songs. I never commented on instrumentals, I just said what I thought. If it moves you, it's music, to you. Alright?
'That's what's wrong with your attitude, if you personally don't like a song then it's not music. And stop trying to make yourself sound smart and make up stupid criteria to try to define true music. Seriously, grow up.'
What's wrong with your attitude is that you feel the need to insult me, someone you know next to nothing about. What's wrong with my attitude is that I bothered defending myself against people attacking someone who was merely trying to share an opinion, good job, real manly of you. I wasn't trying to make myself sound smart, if I wanted to sound smart I would of started by removing the cussing. I don't really care man. The criteria was my way of showing my thoughts on the song, grow up yourself.
I just tried to share my opinion, and of course people like yourself came to put my opinion down. How am I the one needing growing up, if you disagree with it, fine, you don't need to attack it. Peace.

[partyonwayne]

the artical was really good. i didnt care about the swearing...after all, they're just sentance enhancers in their core.

i'm a huge nirvana fan, but why is everyone suddenly writing articals about them?

[levelwisedallas]

lol, I don't really know. I just felt like it, I was bored and had nothing better to do, why not, ya know. Peace.

[Emenius Sleepus]

nice review man... personally Nevermind wasn't my favourite Nirvana album, I'd choose Bleach,.. but that's my opinion though. good job, although yes lol it would be more at home in review section

[levelwisedallas]

Yeah, my bad. I like In Utero, I haven't really been listening to Nirvana much lately I'm more into Audioslave RATM and other stuff.

[Spl!nTeRgu!tAr]

has ne1 else here noticed that ONLY nirvana columns and articless get these many comments despite how amny ppl claim to hate them? kind funny if u ask me.
great article, you really nailed how u feel about the album, im not really big on nirvana but i highly respect them as musicians, good job

[ArtoissorryFLIP]

Yeah simple plan are ***ing crap but nirvana infulinced many decnt rock bands today.if nirvana never became famous then we would still be listning to the hair metal pish like motley crew
- i totally agree, and hair metal is just a bunch of guys that have thier pants on too tight, which causes them to sing too high.....and it sucks.And blink 182 also sucks.

[civildp1]

nevermind raw? I don't think so. Here's some advice.

Swears do not equal cool.

[SoulsStrife]

well your use of curse words overflowing thru the article makes it so i dont care what u have to say cause u obviously dont have the common sense that is needed to write to viewers

[levelwisedallas]

What's worse SoulsStrife, your lack of grammer skills, or my useage of curse words? If you don't like cussing, well, I mean if it bothers you that much, that's kind of strange.

[TorturedSoul666]

Maverick49: Oh and btw, Kurt could play, have you heard the solos from School and Serve the Servants? Not many people can play those!

Umm, that's cause Kurt played anti-solos. He pretty much played something to rhythm but it was never teh same thing twice.

[civildp1]

The palm muting in the signature chord riff, really brings out the anger here. The solo is perfect with that watery sort of stoned distortion, it all builds up to that simple but effective solo with the "nur nah," plucking of the b and high E strings on the first fret, and the white noise of the higher b and E string sounds, followed by the signature chord progression.

Have you ever played the song? No palm mutes, that stoned distorion sound is called chorus. There's no "nur nah" in the solo. that would be the verse, And its not played on the first fret of the b and e. Kurt played it on the 5th and 6th fret of the G and B strings. You got the chord progression part right though. so good job on that.

[AxeMan88uk]

i had trouble readin all that so i skimmed it, at least u put an effor to interpret and write all that, but from what i read u come across as a bit of a di*k head
'They rock their ***ing asses off in this one, and they are completely honest about it. This album just gives off a vibe of '*** you, like us or don't'. This is an album and kicks your ass and doesn't apologize. It is as powerful as an album get's, in my opinion.'
I mean read that paragraph, whats that all about, it gives me a feeling like i want to punch u and that ur one of those nirvana fans who likes it cos u think its cool to like it and therefore contradict ur complaining bout commercialness, but if u aint fair nuff, thats jus the vibe i get from reading it since i no alot of ppl like that

[costa]

why are you in love with the word shit, i mean okay you want to prove that you're a badass and all but it just makes the hole thing kinda repetitive

[cspin]

I don't care what anyone says. Sure Nevermind was a great album but In Utero is still their greatest.

[cspin]

But It doesn't even matter. Sure they were a great band, but the guy died over 10 years ago. Nowadays the band is very overrated like The Beatles. If I were my age then and someone told me that he shot himself, I would've definately believed it in a heartbeat. The guy was a nut job. Anyone who still mourns over his suicide should realize it is over about time to get over it and get on with there lives.

[feesk8ordie]

I just wanna say Nirvana ***ing rule and all always will and Kurt is my hero. Not for being a *** up, junkie suicidal guy, (thats what he was) I hate him for that. But I respect him for saying '*** that' to musicianship. he just had such charisma, wrote the best lyrics (I don't care what any of u say)
Also he reminds me that you can write awesome music without being an amazing guitarist or singer. Kurt was nether but he had something alot of bands lack: emotion, and the desire to create.

"Musicianship is fifth to passion, originality, emotion and creativity"

Also what you are by Audioslave is a ***ing awesome song. Download it if u aint heard it.

Kurt IS a legend

[kuddkrig]

I think Nevermind was boring. Sure it was great the first times u listened to it, Teen spirit, Lithium, Come as you are, In bloom are great songs. But I got tired of that cd quickly. The production was too slick. It lacks something... Even Kurt said that. My favorite Nirvana record is Unplugged in NY.

[The Oceanborn]

Nirvana really isn't that great, they made angry music when everybody was listening to weak shit and wanted to be and remain ordinary people, which ultimately failed by becoming famous and really popular, so people get over Nirvana their time is long since gone...

[agracer]

Wicked Column Man

[Glassy]

Nevermind was such a radio-friendly album, which always seems to me like there's something missing. When I think of their greatest songs they often come off of Bleach or In Utero.

yes, kurt has passed, and nirvana is no longer, but with the release of the Nirvana box set 'with the lights out' they can live on through their music. The raw and unpolished recording on the box set are haunting and even beautiful. there will always be a place in my (and many others') hearts and music collections for nirvana.

Nirvana = Overrated.

hah, not bad article. your writing style made me laugh. "it will kick my ass?" heh, anywyas good job. i like how you right out say that nirvana isnt the greatest, but they arent bad and are influential.

[bean_brain]

Good album. Weak article. Does nobody know how to proof read anymore? Just because we're musicians, that doesn't mean we have to sound uneducated.

[DisgruntledDuck]

*Doesn't anybody know how to proof read anymore.

proof reading is important, practise what you preach mm?

[DaddyTwoFoot]

The article was kinda weak. I love Nirvana with all of my sad little heart, but you basically said one thing, than repeated it over and over again and called it an article. 2 stars.

[levelwisedallas]

'costa:
why are you in love with the word shit, i mean okay you want to prove that you're a badass and all but it just makes the hole thing kinda repetitive'
Ehh whatever you say.
'Have you ever played the song? No palm mutes, that stoned distorion sound is called chorus. There's no "nur nah" in the solo. that would be the verse, And its not played on the first fret of the b and e. Kurt played it on the 5th and 6th fret of the G and B strings. You got the chord progression part right though. so good job on that.'
Teen Spirit does have palm muting, the chicka chicka. Listen. I know the nur nahs not the solo, I didn't put this together very well, but I'm not that retarded.

[NeverBeenKilled]

This is the most biased piece of shit ever,man. Well not ever, but still this crap sucks!

[HelpMeImHungry]

nirvana is a my favorite band. i find it funny how ur interpreting each song. kurt would laugh. maybe ull understand why

[HelpMeImHungry]

and teen spirit im pretty sure doesnt use palm mute, just putting his fingers lightly over the frets to kill the sound. its the same effect but if u watch him play ull see

[twocenttip]

i dare you: try to say 'shit' at least five more times in context cuz i think you like used that word until it broke. Swearing makes you sound like some stupid, ignorant, angry drunk who can't find a more creative way to get people to listen to them than to spew obscenities in every direction about every subject. Seriously. Grow up.

[levelwisedallas]

I don't give a shit what 'kurt' would think, I'll interpret the music however I feel like it. Dumbass.

[levelwisedallas]

Cussing has nothing to do with growing up. Get a ***ing life.

[Dlawso]

You are right, man.
Nirvana is a depressing, bullshit band with a no good guitarist and singer.
They suck.
It is the peoples fault that Nirvana got so famous.
They didnt deserve it.

[DisgruntledDuck]

Somebody should write an article about Mr Bungle.....

[Maverick49]

Umm, that's cause Kurt played anti-solos. He pretty much played something to rhythm but it was never teh same thing twice.

Sorry torturedsoul666 but I've heard loads of Nirvana live stuff and the majority Kurt's anti-solos, which according to you he never played the same twice, are pretty much note-for-note.

[Contraband]

Kurt Cobain wasn't a bad guitarist...lol he just never showed it.

[levicomics]

Good article, but you forgot that "Something in the way was slighty based on a period in Kurt's life where he was homeless and forced to live under a bridge, also mixing with themes of being lonely. Great article though, but don't excpect to get through to Nirvana-haters with your plea to "give it a chance". Most people who hate Nirvana are too close-minded and stupid to try and like something outside of music from 20-something years ago, and do we really want people like that to represent Nirvana fans?

Is there a reason you must use cuss words every single sentence you write? It makes your article look way less professional, less respectable, more biased, and less believeable. People don't like to be preached at with swearing. It makes them feel that the information being provided is by some loser who has a serious lack of vocabulary and a lack of good quality opinions. Just giving you some tips man, as far as the article itself,it was pretty decent.

[civildp1]

Teen Spirit does have palm muting, the chicka chicka. Listen. I know the nur nahs not the solo, I didn't put this together very well, but I'm not that retarded.

I'm going to teach you how to quote somebody. First you copy what they said. Then you press the quote button. then you paste the quote. Then you press the quote button again. There are no palm mutes in the song. That "chika chika" sound is a fret hand mute. They are completely different. To do a palm mute you place your right palm on the strings near the bridge. A fret hand mute is when you don't fret any strings, you just lay your hand across them. If you've ever seen a video of Nirvana playing this song, you can tell that he's not palm muting.

[Dexter Smith]

shitty article

[SoundIncursion]

i wish i could just destroy this article, but i cant, so i will just give it one star oh and try not to compare yourself to cobain then mock him when people critisize you. your pathetic and if (not saying you are) trying to be him, kill yourself in advance, it will help.
ps
your probably a youngin so dont use a shot gun to kill yourself, your little fingers probably cant reach it and it leaves a big mess oh, good luck though

[regulador34]

that is the worst article ive ever read.

[levelwisedallas]

Kurt Cobain is a bitch, I'm not. My comparison was that we both were from shitty little towns in Washington. Cobain wasted his ***ing life because he was a damned coward, I thoroughly enjoy his music however. Go choke on that cock. Better yet, don't bother reading an article you don't like, and then ask the author to commit suicide. If you realized how much of an ignorant worthless jackass that made you, you would go hang yourself. Get a ***ing life all of you, seriously, if you disagree with a ***ing article get the *** over it. I mean Jesus Christ, ***ing baby shits, grow the *** up and go bitch at people face to face instead of being ***ing pansies about something that means nothing in the scheme of things. Most of you are deeply pathetic, I hope you come to realize this. Now, respond with a bunch of crap about how immature and young I am, and ignore the fact that you've wasted more time on me, because you obviously love me. Why else are you wasting so much time and emotion on me, the dude who needs a shotgun!? Get a ***ing life. Jesus Christ. I'm done laughing at you.

Look you illiterate, ignorant, immature moron. There are several things that need to be addressed here:

1 - Stop cussing, you suck at it

2 - Don't come tell us about criticizing something we don't like, that is the biggest hipocritical statement I've ever heard because you are sitting there taking the time to rant about all the comments people have made against your article. See, in your eyes, it should be that sense you don't like their comments, it would be a waste of time to go complain about them and say you don't like them. I mean, that's what you tell us to do with your article. So again, you're contradicting yourself bud.

3 - Get some new vocabulary words before you go calling US ignorant

4 - Stop whining about a few criticisms you "coward"

5 - and um, as far as the "If you realized how much of an ignorant worthless jackass that made you, you would go hang yourself" part goes, well.....I'm not going to say you should hang yourself because I can see that stuff gets to you.....so um....you get my point? Yeah, in other words you are the biggest jackass in here.

6 - Just shut up

I mean, everyone who loves Nirvana already knows this shit, and your just pissing off the retards who think that they're gay, or whatever.

[MisterChainsaw]

cool article, but stop writing them, they are getting gay. Besides, as much as nirvana was a good band (opinionated, but not nesessary to be arguable), they were highly overrated and way over credited. Listen to some Mudhoney, Green River, or Scream, they are the real poineers.

[Analog_Matyr]

once again... trhis is someone's opinion... and they went to a shitelload of trouble writing it down.... respect that... I think some of you song interpretations are farily "off the mark" but hey, meaning is different for everyone, it's entiely related to contexts... and yes... you are quite ignorant to the english language... not ignorant... just lacking in creativity, or artistic flair... o just a theasaurus lol... there's always www.dictionary.com seriously go there expand your horizons.
I love Nirvana... but seriously, how many articles like this are there, or have there been?

[ZuluWarrior182]

I too agree this article is terrible and should go in the review section. im glad nirvana is overrated because it benefits me. I get to hear there songs on the radio all the time and that is why the box set came out. Im glad nirvana is overrated cause that is why they continue to print the cds so i can buy them and listen to them. I think this article was pointless and the kid cursed too much. if there wasnt any curse words it would be a paragraph long. Nevermind wasnt that great of an ablum probably my least favorite. Lithium wasn't their best work. Aero Zeppelin was by far. Bleach and In Utero are the best ablums they wrote. This tried too hard not to be the sterotypical kid who says kurt was a god.

[ZuluWarrior182]

this Kid^

[nightprowler]

Well now. Next time you right an article, please take out the swearing and replace them with some decent words. I'm not trying to sound like a freak or make you mad or anything, it would just make your article a lot better and make some of the messed up people in here look at more than "the first paragraph".

Well about the article. The article was ok but it had some minor errors, in my opinion. You should have told the readers that no interpritation of Nirvana's songs will be totally or even the least bit correct. Second, I believe that Kurt was not as bad a guitarist as you make him seem. His stuff is easy, I have to addmit, but he was one of the few lefties that actually went somewhere with their music. Last, Under the Bridge by Red Hot Chili Peppers IS NOT a example of good music. God, I can't stand that song. It is just a repitition of the same lyrics through the whole song.

Good points about the article: You had very descriptive interpritations of the songs, made you seem smarter than all your cussing appeared you to be. You gave a lot of good examples of good music, yet you missed a lot of good songs. Last, THANK YOU for showing people the true name for rappers (rapfags).

I like the way that you actually respond to peoples' posts, unlike other reviewers.

Good Article, take out the cussing, add some stretching room for interpritation, and possibly add some more songs to your examples of good music list.

PEOPLE PLEASE STOP writing Nirvana reviews, there are so many already out there, no matter how different you think yours is.

Kurt is not a god, but he a least deserves the title of "Legend", if not in guitar, then in vocals.

Please keep putting the f***..s who open their mouths without thinking in check.

Lol, Nightprowler, you're alright man.

[jimbo66]

ok its pretty dumb how people just go into an article or coloumn or anything to do with a band that they hate and just start dissing them withought clear legitiment reasons.


first of all id like to say if you say kurt cobain shot himself than your dumb cas you obviously havent read or dont know anything about him because he really did love the world to much to kill himself. and if you look at the facts how can a guy thats extremely overdosed on heroin even hold a gun and if you look at the suicide letter the top half (written by him) looks completly different than the second half and the top was actually about how he was leaving seattle and quiting the band because he was getting sick of the fame.

secondly you can diss grunge and the type of music they created as much as you want but think withought grunge music what would we be listening to like f***ing hair mettal bands and singing along to sh*t like shes me cherry pie and nirvana didnt start blink 182 or good charlotte or simple plan green day truely impacted them the most(even though i like green day alot its true)and it wasnt just green day either any band with catchy melodic lyrics like green day's impacted them.

and finally let the f*cking guy die in peace i mean its not fair how we still talk about him he wouldnt like that at all i mean even if your saying hes god he wouldnt like that he just wanted to play music and have fun and then the huge success of nevermind took them by surprise and made them extremely popular. even if nevermind didnt get big or whatever kurt and them would have still been having fun playing music and doing what they wanted but there are so many reviews or articles or whatever about them and there all the same, they start the same explaining how nirvana are incredible influences on bands, and it always ends in peoiple dissing and deffending nirvana. so i say leave the guy alone and stop writing articles and reviews if that happens its good for everyone the people that dont like them can stop dissing them and the people that do like them can finally believe that kurt isnt being talked about (good or bad) which would make kurt happy and therefore he can finally die in peace

so just stop the articles and reviews oh yea courtney love is a f*cking crach whore

Lol nightprowler, you my friend, are hillarious. Thanks a bunch for re-opening the "Was kurt murdered" debate. It's been over 10 years, just let it go! The majority of people who believe in the conspiracy theories are teen girls who are desperate for their latest crush Cobain to remain as a God-like icon, and sad, washed up nirvana fans, living in the past. I respect him for what he did as a musician, and it is sad that he passed away, but 10 years later, who cares anymore? More importantly, WHY does anyone care anymore? RIP kurt, and leave it at that.

Who is responsible for the flaws of the article? The author. The was the one cussing? The author. Okay, so you're definitely wrong there.

Secondly, you don't think critizing the punctuation, swearing, lack of vocabulary, and not that great of a writing relates to the article? We are sitting here talking about the article and you're saying we're not? Both the author AND the article are part of the criticizing. Lay off and just write your own comments. Stop whining about us.

Oh and one question.....how the hell do I NOT talk about jackasses around myself?.....aren't I ALWAYS around myself?.....that had to be the dumbest thing you said.

Anyway, just lay off. You didn't even come close to putting up a good argument.

I am not a Coabain hater but come on Nirvana is over rated. As far as talent goes Soundgarden and Pearl Jam had 5 times more. Cornell was the best singer of the 90s, Vedder had the best lyrics. Camerson was the greatest drummer of the grunge bands and McCready was the best guitar palyer. Ament and Sheperd has there own diffrent talents. Because SLTS was the first major grunge song to come out people think Nirvana are gods. Don't tell me they didnt want to be famous. If he didnt want to be famous don't make a music video. At least Cameron said he wanted to on an interveiw. After working your ass off don't you think you would want to be known for what you do. If you worked in the same building for 5 years and no one knew your name would you want people to know who you are? I like Nirvana this is just my opinion

"Anything by Bob Dylan". Too true mr.levelwisedallas. Nirvava, i think, are fantastic. I can see why people may not like them, namely due to theyre quite metally riffs namely in Bleach. But the songs in Nevermind and In Utero exude such raw emotion that you cannot ignore. The music was simplistic, the feelings emanated were complex. A great combination - oh, and to spark an argument : the best Nirvana song is Aneurysm!

Nirvana truly is the greatest band of all time.

[Cobain-iac_90]

I agree with a lot you had to say in the article. I just hate these d*mn idiots who only come on here to flame Kurt, and the people who respected his way of thinking. Grow up everyone, he's dead, no need to poke fun at him. His lyrics were beautiful, even if he wasn't the greatest musician. If you're not gonna say something nice, just shut the hell up! We don't care.

[GAC1989]

first of all MOTLEY CRUE RULE, NIRVANA RULE! and bands like simple plan suck because they suck. you cant blame Nirvana for the people they influenced.

[tomobrien]

pretty good article man nirvana is the best band in the world even though kurt is dead but he was one of the coolest musicians eva i think

[tomobrien]

good speed go fuk yourself leave this guy alone he wrote a better article than you could ever write and theres nuthing wrong with cursing

[Gothic_ed]

funny, you're writing an article on on nirvana, and like everyone else you only really mention Kurt Cobain. Right at the start its all about him as if there weren't actually 3 members. Ah well not bad

[SoWhat?]

haha didnt kurt cobain only use a distortion pedal?
and every one knows about Kurt Cobain, but what about dave Grohl and Krist?

[headbanginroach]

u live in plano i will destroy you. kurt is awesome but u are not.
p.s. whoever said they will break dance fight him i laughed my ass off that was funny my friend

[lil_Cobain_123]

kurt did use more than a distortion pedal, listen to the solo in in bloom and various other songs... further more Nirvana was a badass band and to be able to influence people today when they were a band back in the 80/90's is still amazing

[AneurysmARG]

LOL....well i read all the posts.....well the review was fine but i think that you are a hypocrite, kurt composed the 95% of the songs, so you shouldn't hate him.
I hate nirvana haters. They don't like music. They are just anti-nirvana.
and the best song is Aneurysm. And the article ****

PS: when i read the comments...i almost cry of joy and happiness, THANK GOD I WAS BORN IN ARGENTINA, THANK GOD I LIVE IN ARGENTINA, THANK GOD I DON'T LIVE IN A COUNTRY WITH A 90% OF PSYCHOS.....but i have to admit that that 10% is awesome...USA has a lot of shit, lot...many of you are crazy, what your doing is to insult your country and your culture, your insulting yourselves, and insulting the best band of all times, NIRVANA, who is part of that 10% of that shitty society from the USA....plus: USA IS NOT AMERICA, AMERICA IS THE CONTINENT, SO IF U SAY U ARE 'AMERICAN' I'AM AMERICAN TO BECAUSE I'M PART OF THIS CONTINENT U FUCKING GRINGO BUSH MOTHE' FUCKA'.
AFTER I INSULTED U, I HAVE THE HONOR TO SAY:
PEACE

[hak_hap]

Listen to come as you are, f*ckers...you'll recognize the effects.

[pilonic man]

nirvana is wicked awesome

[Hart_Attack]

Ok... as much as I seriously want to flame Kurt I'll hold it in... He is a really great riff artist, not a soloist kind of guy... My major beef with him is that as soon as he died almost ALL!!! OF THE GRUNGE CROWD or any other type of rock moved to rap... I hope he had fun while he was alive, He did influence alot of other bands, which if you can do that should make you a great guitarist. But if you made about half of the music scene die into today's shitty ass simple plan, and today's dominate music scene (Rap). Therefore should be hated by the actual true Rockers that are still left alive...

[guitarkid2113]

Soilfan wow dude...Nirvana is awesome. Your probably some rich dude who doesn't know what it's like to be angry. Kurt Cobain was depressed because his Dad hated him, he lived in Aberdeen for Christs sake, nobody liked him cause he didn't wanna be a lumberjack. He was pissed because everyone around him were completed idiots. And he shot himself cause he was addicted to heroin and he was so depressed. He wrote the music to rebel against those idiots, and those idiots ended up being his crowd. And Dave Grohl is awesome too, Krist Novoselic was good too. So shut up about Nirvana being overrated shit and dead. You probably listen to Celine Dion or shit like that!

[guitarkid2113]

haha aneurysm i love it

i love it...great comment and i wish i didn't live in the US...as the clash would say...IM so bored with the USA!!!

[ThereGoesMyHero]

Does anyone else find it funny when people post something along the lines of "nirvana rulz!!!! ps smple plan suxx!!!!!"? I think it's because they think it makes them seem more hardcore or something. Don't get me wrong, I hate them too. Anyways, I liked the article, seeing as Nirvana are my favourite band. But if I don't like some type of music, I don't say it sucks. No music sucks. It sucks, in youropinion, sure. But no one has the right to decree that a genre of music sucks. I also find it funny how some people come in here to rag on a dead guy. Stop reading articles about bands you hate, dumbasses. You're not hurting anyone's feelings by talking down to a band. A band that doesn't exist, may I note.

nirvana=crap

[nirvana_d]

hahahah if nirvana are crap so what are you?...dont think or else your brain will burn hahaha like kurt say's-grunge is playing and singing the way you want and what you want. so like it or not he doesnt care for your opinion one thing i liked in him was he dont care what people think of him, he sing like he wanted to and dress like he wanted
Peace Love and Empathy***
P.S-and like the "ThereGoesMyHero" said-STOP READING ARTICLES ABOUT BANDS YOU HATE, DUMBASSES.

Yeah man, like totally BADASS and SHIT, its like filled with APATHY and NIHILISM and stuff. Like totally AWESOME dude. This is alright mate but its supposed to be an article, not a stoned conversation in your front room. You get some really good points across but you should get a dictionary/thesaurus or something! RIP Kurt, Nirvana were, are and will continue to be the greatest band ever. Oh and btw, Kurt could play, have you heard the solos from School and Serve the Servants? Not many people can play those!

also swap meet´s solo

[azz_kikr92]

Nevermind was the first Nirvana album that I listened to, and it was what got me hooked to them. I like them because their music was simple, but very effective at getting a message across, not because they were a famous band. To all of you people who hate Nirvana, you have a right to your own opinion, but in mine, you need to pull your ****in' heads out of your asses and listen to the way all of their stuff comes together.

[Nirvana6722]

Thats really good. Some people will pick up Nirvana for a couple of months maybe even a year and then forget. They get themselves into the theory that Courtney killed Kurt and everything like that. I used to think that way. But now its not that relevant anymore.. at least for me. No matter what happened he is dead and can't bring him back. Great music, great writer, and (semi) great guitarist.

[reaper21189]

great post dude!
10/10, i loves reading it
and by the way to all the people that are in here talking down at nirvana.... YEW SUCK!!

[Charlotte14]

[loco999]

[fendercobain87]
