In response to "Kurt Cobain wouldn't be "KURT COBAIN" if he were still alive. nm" by Jim

only because his later output wouldn't have been able to keep up.

His death only had the impact it did because he was KURT COBAIN. No one's still talking about Shannon Hoon, for instance.

there's still a a decent Shannon Hoon group here in Indiana -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 11:53
Suck is suck. -- nm - David Sep 24, 11:49 10
- I wouldn't say suck, I like some of it, but over-hyped would certainly work for me. -- nm - Stephen Sep 24, 11:53 6
  - Over-hyped without a doubt. Nirvana wasn't even the best of their own genre. -- nm - Jim Sep 24, 11:55 5
    - They were a mediocre Soundgarden impersonator with two decent songs. -- nm - David Sep 24, 12:00 4
      - As someone who still listens to a lot of both, I don't get this comparison - Reagen Sep 24, 12:08 2
        
        SG contained a good helping of metal/Black Sabbath, something that's not at all part of Nirvana's sound -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 12:10 1
        
        Sabbath is a good pull out of that, yeah. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 12:11
      - Soundgarden was exactly who I was thinking of. -- nm - Jim Sep 24, 12:01
- we are all filled up with crazy today. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 11:50 2
  - i'm writing this off as some sort of post-2012 stupor -- nm - prayformojo Sep 24, 11:52 1
    - fair point. You can't come out of that unharmed. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 11:52
excellent point (I still have one Blind Melon song on my playlist) -- nm - crash davis Sep 24, 11:47
Nevermind, In Utero, Kurt Cobain Sings the Best of Burt Bacharach, cliff -- nm - Alternate Reality TFox Sep 24, 11:47
I'd suggest that if Cobain was still alive he'd be more like Axl Rose than the music God he's considered now. -- nm - Jim Sep 24, 11:45 2
- unless he put out only one crappy album in fifteen years, not even close -- nm - bugsy Sep 24, 11:47 1
  - I'm suggesting that as music caught up with him (which it didn't take long to do) I don't know that he could have adapted. - Jim Sep 24, 11:49
