i was too young to listen to his music when he was popular, but i appreciate him as both a person, and a singer.

i am talking about Kurt Cobain. he would be 40 years old right now, and would have churned out even more great music.


:cry: :( :x

RIP
i love you

Certainly Curt's choice in guitars was interesting! Wasn't it something like a '65 Musicmaster or perhaps a Duosonic? I still have mine. Short scale, low radius. Playing anything above the 12th fret is tight. Noisy, low-output SCs and hideously cheap tuners. Same guitar John McLaughlin played with Larry Young and Tony Williams back in '69/70. You gotta be brave to play that ax in public!

Not that Kurt was ever much bothered about tuning! :p

Certainly a loss to the music world, RIP. :)

Kurt is one of my biggest inspirations for my guitar playing as well as my taste in guitars. He's one of the reasons I bought a Mustang as well as buying a flanel shirt!

I've got to say that I enjoyed Kurt and it is a shame that he left so early. Out of the members of Nirvana, I do think that Dave Grohl is a better song writter.

I was always a huge fan of Nirvana and all of the music that came out of Seattle at that time. The world lost a songwriter whose lyrics made you think. There are very few of those left. But out of the ashes came one of my favorite bands of all time. The FOO FIGHTERS! I think Dave Grohl is writing some of the best music available today, and I appreciate the fact that he doesn't forget that it was Kurt and Nirvana that gave him a chance to be who he is today!

i'm a fan of nirvana's music.... kurt was definitely innovative in all the music he made, guitar and vocals, but in my opinion he wasn't necessarily the "best musician".... if you look at a lot of his work, its not very complicated...... thats not saying he wasnt a good musician, he was, i'm just saying i don't think he was the best of the time

Cobain was an average guitar player at best. He was hardly the best musician of his time. What he was was a good songwriter, an angry one at that, who struck a chord with his audience. He was also a whining, self obsessed, manic depressive heroin addict. He wrote his pain, got a lot of fame that he hated and then he killed himself over it. Not exactly the best of anything really.

And got blown away by his pycho-addict wife. Beethoven was the best musician of his time. Cobain knew 3.5 chords and just happened to have the perfect gravelly voice for screaming into a microphone. And the perfect face for swooning gold-star-on-the-forehead underaged drinkers. He was The Man with the Golden Arm for the 80's. A crooner for the Crybaby Generation that leaves home at 30 and still takes their Playstation with em.

Popstar, certainly. Musician? Don't insult the real ones.
