that's true!
now to con't the latest flap.....
first chad channing was going to be inducted , in the HOF along with kurt , krist and dave.
they even invited the guy to the ceremony....
now he isn't. no one seems to know why.
krist lobbied for it, so it's not him.
I mean CHAD played on "bleach" which is the album that got them eligible.

Chad needs to be inducted too! He WAS part of Nirvana at that point!
From what I read, Chad mistook his invite to the ceremony as him being inducted. It turns out that he was never going to be inducted along with Kurt, Dave, and Krist. Which blows because Chad most definitely deserves to be up there.

Wow!! what in the world? They wouldn't do this unless they had something to go on, right?
Nothing new was found with the Cobain thing either. I bet Courtney was shitting a brick there for a sec...

I was speaking about his family........as a fellow death hag....I will look too! LOL
now onto kurt and dave's talent....
dave grohl is a genius drummer. I happen to like his songwriting also.
kurt wasn't a great guitarist, no. and his voice, though I happen to like it, sounded like he gargled with gravel!
when he sang within his range, it was a good voice.
what was kurt's gift, was his melodies, and his lyrics.
they aren't releasing the photos (I wouldn't put it past them to release them in april.) after all these rolls of film were supposedly destroyed....yeah right.
these were the photos released. the works box.....

(hands over my eyes, and peeking through my fingers) I would look too! I wonder what kind of sunglasses those are? I know the thick, white sunglasses were Christian Roth, which, I am surprised, for Kurt, cost a friggin' fortune!
I know he killed himself but I'm really starting to think it was foul play

I can't believe he's been gone almost 20 yrs!
ok. you have your opinion and i have mine. i used to love kurt, i once believed courtney had something to do with his death, read into tom grants bs. but that is all it is, bs. now that i am alot older, i do believe kurt was overrated. ok so his hits were rip offs, what musician doesnt lift something from someone else or get inspiration from? nirvana being inducted in the hall of fame, i dont believe they deserve it. they had how many hit albums. i dont know the rules for being inducted but there is better musicians out there that deserve the award over nirvana.
I personally don't see the HOF as a competition but rather an acknowledgement of accomplishment. Other's are likely more deserving. That doesn't mean Nirvana is less untitled because if it. Tons of less talented musicians have helped to shape the industry. But they still have a greater impact than many of the most talented musicians. Think about Elvis. He popularized music that many people would've otherwise never heard. And because of his sex appeal he was able to influence the industry well beyond the people that created the music he performed. Does the king himself not deserve his place in the HOF? For that matter what sets the standard for good and lousy? Opinion that's what. Many people prefer Nirvana's sound over the bands they supposedly ripped off. Record sells prove it.
I am the king of all things stupid!
It's all subjective. Nobody is right or wrong.

But they changed the way music was going in the 90's. Many hard rock/ metal bands carried a hatred towards Nirvana for that. Maybe rightfully so. These are guys who live and breathe their instruments to be knocked out of the park buy a guy who untunes his guitar, plays a couple of cords, and sings out of tune. It was just the luck of the draw, what the kids were feeling at the time. Think of what older folks thought when Jimi Hendrix first made it big! HARUMPPH!
Am I the only person who hated Nirvana? I didn't think Kurt had one ounce of talent. However, I did not celebrate his death. I feel for anyone who is depressed enough to kill themselves. I don't care what anyone says about it being a cowardly act, etc. If you think that way then you have no idea what it's like to feel like it's your only option and to be in that deep, dark, place. It's a horrible feeling and I don't wish it on anyone.

For me, I like Nirvana, their music brings back many good/bad memories for me. Reminds me of people I had in my life. But I was in a deep, dark place and found my way out. Many, MANY times. Just sad that someone whos music cheered me up was really at the end of his rope, and slipped off.
speaking of kurt cobain, i seen a magazine of him at the checkout stand at the store. I looked it over and decided to buy it.

All I remember is playing Sonic the hedgehog endlessly with Nevermind playing in the background.

This week's issue of Entertainment Weekly did a nice piece about him and what his music would possibly have been like if he were still alive. Here's a small companion piece to that article:

Some compare Elvis to God.. I mean He is good, but He is no Elvis
same thing with KISS, they only want to induct the original 4 members... meanwhile KISS has had about 6 or so new members since 1980.
uh, everyone on this forum?
I highly doubt we'd even know who Grohl was if not for Cobain. Kurts stuff being easy/catchy was a testament to his talent and it's not very hard to play Grohl's stuff either.

Very interesting topic. I was a mad KISS fan back in the late 70's, which comprised the original four. When Eric Carr stepped in to replace Peter Criss I wasn't too fussed. Peter was sick, and Eric was the goods.
In my opinion, between the five of them, they pretty much pumped out the iconic tracks and sounds of the band. The rest were fillers.
I think KISS was right not choosing to be inducted unless it was the original four. Though not including Carr I think was a mistake.
However, in later years, when the other performers stood in to make up the numbers, I think the bands best work was done.

They will be inducted, the issue is Gene and Paul don't want to play with just Ace and Peter, they want the current lineup to be recognized as well. Fans are pissed because they feel the original 4 should just perform one last time and then go their separate ways but it most likely won't happen. Bruce Kulick and Eric Singer def deserve some props along with Eric Carr... they were involved on the "Revenge" album as well as the MTV Unplugged performance, both very good (musically).
HJis mother said he had tried to kill himself how many timea? He didnt take his medicine for his depression, he shot up heroin, smoked pot and whatever else he put in his system and people think someone else killed him? He killed himself. He had been committing suicide for a long time slowly but surely. The people I feel sorry for are his Kid and his wife. His wife for being blamed for his death and having to live with that and his daughter whom he didnt think enough of to live for. How do you as a child live with that? Courtney is a lot of things but she isn't a killer, THey sometime go thru deaths that are celebs after so many years because all of the accusations come out on the annivrsary of these peoples deaths, Just like Natalie Wood. Every year there is another creep coming out and changing their story or writing a new book to make more money on her death. SAme with Cobain. There never was any evidene the he was murdered, I wish I could remember where I saw a few pictures of his body. Iyt showed his head (what was left of it, the gun at his feet where he dropped it and of course the needles and such next to him. Only his prints on the shotgun no one elses, no proof anyone else was in the room with him . I feel for his kid to have to live with this and to have to go thru this year after year with people blaming her mother.Too bad he wasted that talent by snuffing it out.
The only thing that had me questioning Courtney, was that SHE WAS JUST AS BAD AS HIM. If she knew he was going downhill fast, she should have got herself help first, before harping on him. When you have two people doing heroin together, it is pretty much a suicide pact. We know every dose is a game of Roulette. There is no way somebody supposedly clean can live around a junkie, and recover, or merely tolerate it. Just like with smoking, for two people to quit, two people HAVE TO quit! I don't think she had Kurt killed, I just think she could have put Frances ahead of Kurt and gave him the choice to follow, or stay put. She could have cleaned up her act, and moved on from there. Maybe that's what she was doing in Los Angeles with Frances during Kurt's last days. A day late, and a dollar short.
I remember Courtney once saying "tough love doesn't fck'n work!" Well, it doesn't work for your own children, but it sure does for a full grown stranger shacking up with you that you had a kid with, that is all messed up on smack. IMHO. Rant over. Thanks for your patience.

This may upset a few of you (if its true):
Courtney Love recently took a break from trying to put Robert Stack out of a job (don’t tell her he’s been dead for over 10 years; there are still mysteries that need solving!) to speak with NME for their issue commemorating the 20th anniversary of Kurt Cobain’s death. And since we’re talking about Courtney Love – the human equivalent of a question mark – she spoke less about her late husband and more about her desire to honor his legacy by writing a Broadway musical based on his life. Unfortunately (here we go) she just doesn’t have the means to make it happen on her own:
“Both Frances and I have thought long and hard and agreed that if we can reach up to the highest shelf and select a team of the greatest and most respected writers, producers and directors, then a Broadway musical is very likely to happen. I would devote countless hours with an A-team to create a project that reflects Kurt in the most respectful but honest way possible, so that his story, his music and his legacy can be resurrected on stage for not only the world to see, but more importantly for our daughter to see.”Clickety-clack, girl; do what you gotta do. Personally I think this sounds like a great idea, but I have some suggestions that I think would really win this show some Tony Awards:
1) Courtney Love plays every major character in the show, including Kurt, Dave Grohl, baby Frances, and in the scene where Nirvana meets RuPaul, RuPaulThere, I just wrote you the next CATS. Hey Courtney, if you need another person for that A-team, give me a call (you can pay me in mystery solving). And in the event there’s a growing interest in Broadway musicals based on 90s-era grunge, I have a dynamite idea for a one-woman show about Blind Melon’s Bee Girl.
2) There’s a song in the second act called “The Mystery of the Missing Money” and it’s just Courtney walking up and down the aisles asking people for a couple bucks
3) There’s also a song called “Can I Have Whatever Pills Are Floating Around the Bottom of Your Purse”
4) Frances Bean is played by Andrew Rannells

Just looked at the new death photos of Kurt. A few new, interesting ones. The one of his left hand, with the hospital band still on, was very sad. If I remember correctly, he had recently been admitted to rehab, but then left shortly after. Was this the hospital band from the rehab facility?
Also, is there an actual, full body shot of his death photo out there? I searched today, after seeing the new photos that were released, and the only one I could find (of him from the side, with the shotgun in his hand) looks fake and photoshopped. I can assume that it's not real.
The only other photo I've seen of his actual body was released years ago, and it's a view from outside the greenhouse garage, looking through the doorway. It's a partial picture of his leg and right arm, with a policeman squatting down near his foot. Any thoughts?
Anyway, my son Lucas will be 10 tomorrow, which is the 20th anniversary of Kurt's death. It's grey, drizzly and chilly here in NJ, which is very Seattle-like weather, so lots of thoughts of Kurt today.
