I didn't necessarily think it was sick humor, but either way it's stupid. Probably more stupid if you were serious, because you're encouraging people to think about something that no sane person should ever dwell on.
You were too much of a pussy to call me out directly, so you indirectly baited me. Then, when I called you on it, you first said that I was ruining your thread, then you said I took your bait. Well listen here pal - those are contradicting statements, because if you didn't want me to "ruin" your thread, you wouldn't baited me in the first place, and since you DID bait me, apparently "knowing" that I would run with it and "ruin" the thread - THAT shows that you didn't take the thread seriously in the first place, so you just contradicted what you said earlier. Take some time to think about that one, because you can't have it every way.
Agreed on pretty much all counts, and Chinese Democracy was defo worth the wait.
Don't agree, the album was dope. Particularly the title track, "Better", "Shackler's Revenge", "Madagascar", and "Riad & The Bedouins".
Yeah, I agree with this, but since Nirvana is my favorite rock band of all time (NIN #2, GnR #3), then for me Kurt > everyone.
Kurt was a better songwriter and a better musician than Axl.
However, Axl was a better vocalist (in terms of range), but I prefer Kurt's voice.
Agree. Solid album.
You know it's not as simple as that. He had a major addiction problem and major health problems (he stated that the former was due to the latter - "I decided that if I was going to feel like a junkie anyway, I may as well be one").
Also only someone who knows next to nothing about Courtney Love would dismiss her as a "nasty ass wife". Yeah, Courtney is a little unstable, but she wasn't any crazier or any nastier than Kurt. I've more or less studied both of them in depth as individuals as well as a couple, in case you're wondering what my opinion is based on. Courtney gets all the blame from a misogynistic male-dominated media (aka the Yoko syndrome).
For all their ups and downs (and EVERY relationship has them) the fact remains that they both cared very deeply for each other.
There's so much incorrect with this post that I don't know where to start. KNOW YOUR FACTS before you speak otherwise you'll look ignorant.
1) Nirvana made three (and arguably 4 including the unplugged set) AMAZING albums. Bleach, Nevermind and In Utero, and Kurt grew and matured as a songwriter with each subsequent album, with In Utero containing his best work. His work on these albums is actually more substantial than Axl's work with G'N'R - why? Because Kurt was the sole songwriter for the vast majority of Nirvana's songs.
Axl, on the other hand is virtually incapable of writing a song on his own. The genius of "Appetite" and the two "Use Your Illusion" albums was an equal effort between Axl, Slash, Duff, and most importantly, Izzy Stradlin.
"Chinese Democracy"'s best tracks were all co-writes. The title track was a co-write with drummer and songwriter Josh Freese, of A Perfect Circle and Devo - he also went on to work with NIN after being in GnR for a few years. Unsurprisingly, given the industrial nature of the song, "Better" was a co-write with longtime Marilyn Manson and NIN guitarist Robin Finck.
Credit where it's due - Axl can write a killer piano power ballad on his own (he had some formal piano training as a child), see "This I Love" from "Chinese Democracy" and "November Rain" from "Use Your Illusion". He's just not in Kurt's league as a songwriter.
2) Did you SERIOUSLY just say that Biggie made one good album and then was never heard from again? The guy made 3 stone-cold classic albums (Ready To Die, and both discs of Life After Death).
Ja Rule is a maybe, but I personally thought that "Rule 3.36" was a fairly solid album, and not a bad follow up to "Venni Vetti Vicci".
3) I don't see what Slash auditioning for Poison has to do with anything. Bret Michaels explicitly stated that Slash was looking for a dual guitarist situation and to be able to play long solo's, and so it was obvious that Poison wasn't the band for him. He also said that Slash clearly wasn't into the makeup and bleach blonde hair look either and so although they knew he was a good guitarist, both Bret and Slash knew that Slash was not the right person for Poison.
