Nirvana ain't that good either.
They're better
THAN ANY BLOATED TEN-MINUTE GUITAR SOLO HARD ROCK BANDS
:wink:

Yes, most live albums (of any band) are good. AC/DC has a pretty good live album too.

Cobain just ruins the style.
But Page was a guitar expert!
Cobain's true gifts lie in his awesome emotional song-writing
THAT HE AUGMENTS WITH
Distinctive yet not overly-complicated guitar-playing!

I'd much rather be listening to Jimmy Page rock out to Stairway to Heaven for 10 minutes, John Bonham or Neil Peart bust out an awesome yet long drum solo or the might of Geddy Lee/Robert Plante's voice screeching above the powerful instruments then hear Cobain trying to sing and snort coke at the same time.

That is a tired and oft-repeated way of
TRYING TO DISCREDIT WHAT NIRVANA
did
Personally the one ahmed johnson would find their music excellent
WHETHER COBAIN DIED OR NOT

Taking coke and writting lyrics about how sad people make you surely doesn't take that much talent.

It pains me when I'm talking to somebody and they mention that Nirvana is great and even compare them to greats such as Led Zep, AC/DC, GNR, etc.... When people say that I go off on a rant about how that is blashepmy to compare them to those greats!
AC/DC - one of the least creative (and dumbest) bands ever
HOW CAN THEY BE GREAT??
GnR created one magnificent album
BUT THE FOLLOW-UPS WERE BLOATED AFFAIRS

Of Course! I always forget Black Album, even though it is one of their best.
Electric Ladyland- Jimi Hendrix
At Folsom Prison- Johnny Cash

Thre one ahmed johnson loves led zeppelin too!
But in general that histrionic style of guitar playing is pretty naff
AND OVER-DONE
Jimmy Page was inspired enough to make his solos memorable and necessary to most of LZ's songs
In general that style though is overblown and pompous

Page's guitar solo's are overblown and pompous but he's got the raw talent to support the level of pompousness (word??) that he gives out. Many other guitarists just don't have the talent to even attempt something like Page's work yet always try.

The "nirvana had one great album" line should read
GNR HAD ONE GREAT ALBUM
sorry about that
In Utero is a brillian album as well
as for AC/DC being responsible for Nirvana???
WRONG
Nirvana come from bands like Pixies and alternative rock not dumb
HARD-ROCKERS

GnR totally brought back rock & roll. Nirvana in a way killed it. They made it so mainstream and just made the MTV world crazy about them. How can that be bringing back R&R?

exactly
That is why Ahmed is backing Nirvana cause they didn't try that style of rock
THEY WERE MUCH MORE EFFECTIVE AND DIRECT (not than Zepp but that style of rock in general)
and they also killed off the naff 80s metallers!
so be thankful! :wink:

GNR has three great albums...... So your telling my that nirvana never listened to people like AC/DC, and even if nirvana wasn't influenced by AC/DC, AC/DC was popular enough to open the doors for people like GNR, and then later on Nirvana

With Nirvana alt-rock became more mainstream
BUT THEY DID BRING BACK RNR BECAUSE
they took the emphasis away from 80s hair-rock which wasn't
rock and roll
AT ALL

Appetite for Destruction
Use Your Illusions I
Use Your Illusions II
Now those 3 albums rock very hard. GnR have 5 albums out there. 3 awesome albums out of 5 beats the hell out of Nirvana.

Theres a ton of guitar bands many of them popular
AC/DC WEREN'T SOME SINGULAR DRIVING FORCE BEHIND ROCK N ROLL RESURGENCE
Cobain seems to be strongly influenced by The Beatles (his melodies)
AND NEIL YOUNG (his abrasive distorted guitar style)
AS MUCH AS HARD ROCK STUFF
which also played an influence

UYI 1 & II have their
INSPIRED
moments!
But they are bloated as hell
AND LACK THE TRUE GREATNESS TO BE CLASSICS
If they were combined into one singular 12 track album
WITH THE BEST SONGS
Perhaps then it would be a classic follow-up!

Nirvana is just a bunch of stoned out people trying to play instruments! The only one with some kind of talent was Grohl. GnR killed off the 80s hair metal (pop metal...  hate saying that word) with AfD.

Yea, but atleast somebody was listening to some kind of rock, even if I don't like the band. Isn't it better that people be listening to rock, instead of NOT listening to rock?
