 Oh, come over and have a hug. (And their best songs are covers and even then the originals are better.) Nirvana is the first band tha t makes me notice I'm old when I see teenagers still wearing their T-shirts. Must be what others thought about me and the Beatles. |

Ditto. Same with Nevermind. |

Right. Not drop-D tuning (the low E string tuned to D) but D-based tuning where all strings are tuned down a step. I can see what you mean about singing and playing the songs being difficult. Never tried singing this song. I think the singing is simple if you drink 3/4 pint of cough syrup. Not being an ass--I'm a fan. |

Oh, good. Then I'll go to the local high school and find a lead singer/song writer to lead my band that will revolutionize music ...
Music is not the sound that comes from the guitar, it is the hand that plays it.

There is that but there is was also an extreme self-esteem problem there that was even evident watching Nirvana play live.
And, for better or worse, Nirvana brought rock and roll back into the top 40 and I will always appreciate them for that. |

Check out the book "Heavier than Heaven." It gives an excellent account of Kurt and his woes. Sad deal. Damn good music, though. |

Well, I am not going to go that far but I have never been a fan of them. They had their bit but to me I never 'got them'.
Many people I respect really like them so don't take this as a slap anyone. Just not my bag.

Yes, just look at Alice in Chains unplugged. Another one lost to Heroin. |

Yeah, but it wasn't "I'm all Plugged up". It was "I'm all Shook up".
