Grohl alone is regarded by a huge number of drummers as one of the greatest of all time. His speed and technical ability even in the early pre-nirvana days is astounding. |

I don't think Nirvana was as good as Radiohead or REM, but man, did they really shake things up. Kurt's voice still haunts me after all these years. Yes, he did matter.

They were a very good band.
But I'm afraid they represent the death of R n R.
Their Pain, Angst, Anger, Despair (PAAD) "thud n drone" formula was unique in 1991 but ever "R n R" band since then has followed this formula. 2013 is 1991. Stagnation.
I'm afraid R n R is evolving into jazz. Each hit a peak and then stagnated...no experimentation. Just same ole formula.

If it was Nirvana, Kurt, why were you in such a f******g hurry to leave?
Too much whining.

Exactly, which is why the track has a 7,2 rating, not a 10  |

Maybe of all time.
Translation: I don't like Nirvana and don't understand why they are more popular than my favorite band, Hanson.   |

Wow. So much emotion. They were a good band and had some good songs, dude was troubled and killed himself. Happens all the time, what's the big deal? This is one of their good ones. 8

Great stuff and just what I need after spending about 6 hours writing a very difficult letter...I love the unplugged stuff it is right from his very troubled soul. RIP Kurt

I enjoy every song on this album more than the studio counterpart. Unplugged is one of my favorite CDs of all time. It just goes to show, there's no accounting for taste. There's just so much more feeling in the unplugged versions.

I didn't get Nirvana or their music at first. But the rawness in his voice grew on me after while.
And the band is a lot tighter than people give them credit for. After all, these are the guys who turned into the Foo Fighters.
Still, it would have been interesting to see him develope further, had he survived his addiction and the accompanying depression.

Certainly a classic, but I will say I much prefer the stuff Dave Grohl has been putting out with Foo Fighters (notwithstanding the fact that the time I saw FF, they blew live). The music is just more vibrant. I guess I don't appreciate the tortured aspect of Nirvana. Is that the difference? Easy to say knowing how it turned out, but I can't remember how I saw them back in the day... other than resentment that they were considered the the godfathers of grunge when I much prefered Soundgarden and Screaming Trees. |
