April 8, 1994
 

Rest in Peace Kurt D. Cobain, 1967-1994.

umm isn't that second picture the london calling cover?

i didn't realize until now that he died today 14 years ago.

whatever you want to say, lets all have some respect, because you all damned well know that In Utero is a fucking good album, and the Unplugged was a good set, and that Kurt's contributions musically are solid. regardless of the hype, the image, the popularity, this is bullshit, lets not taint our memories of the man and the fun and rewarding experience of art which he brought to us, even from the heights of the mainstream media sources, with our political interpretations. Kurt Cobain is one of the last great American ARTISTS, and after him, so much has been utter crap.

post your favorite cobain tunes, videos, pictures, paintings, collages, photographs, sayings, quotes, publicity, gossip etc etc.... lekiyum lekiyum [so be it so be it]

why is there a picture of the clash on there?

just asking?

because I highlighted the wrong link without paying attention, you guys are way to critical sometimes.

what a hot looking harlot, who would have known she'd turn out to be so (self-)destructive.

ahh....I miss Trees. #1 spot to beat up rock stars. good times.

although I never got to punch Kurt there (the guy who did was a friend of a friend), I gave the guy from Consolidated a bloody nose.....no, that's not Kurt related. but who cares? I'm reminiscing.

11 up, 6 down

 

Kurt Cobain was a reflection of all of us. He exists in the things we do openly or shunned because we want to conform to the norms of society. He brought out in all of us a conscience that is extremely hard to find be it in music or life. Kurt Cobain will always be remembered for being an honest, genuine and true artist, some one who aimed for perfection but was frustrated with things that he could not change no matter how hard he tried. If anything we should all learn and respect him for who he was more than what he did.
My need to do is a pure as Kurt Cobain.

right. should I light the candles now, or wait until the witching hour?

oh yeah, and happy birthday Jade.

like these

Kurt Cobain was a good rocker. He was a good lyricist. He had a fantatic scream. He played rock music with the abandon and love that it requires. For all this, I am sad he is not with us.

the man is not at fault for the cult of personality that developed around him and his band and life.

In Utero is boring though.

We're supposed to remember/celebrate the dead on their birthday, not the day some repair guy came to thier house and found his body lying in a pool of their own blood. That's not a day you want to remember year after year. I digress, the man would have been fourty-one years old this year. Imagine that.

I was about to post with a similiar response as the one above.. might as well...
Why are we celebrating the finding of his bloated, rotting, maggot infested corpse? Why are we celebrating a heroin induced shotgun suicide death? Why not celebrate his birthday instead? I know your intentions are not to be unkind, suchfriends, but this is not just the case with you: People everywhere, magazines/music websites, whatever celebrate this day... odd.

Anyway, "Bleach" and "Incesticide" are pretty good albums. My favorite Nirvana tracks are Marigold and Beeswax. Kurt molested turtles with pencils and spit on his fans, according to that book Heavier than Heaven.

I am in favour of the very worst taste jokes about celebrities, alive or dead. If you live as a celeb you should be prepared to die as a celeb. Sadness is clear and i wish people wouldnt feel the need to point that out about death.

Serve the Servants eats our collective face though.

memorials are appropriate on death days as well, most saints in Christianity are commerorated on the days of their death as well as birth, and as such, I felt it acceptable, and I am sorry, I didn't realize it might might even be taken as an offense.



son of a bitch, remember my thread dissing the kurt cons and saying they should be Kurt One Stars?

pssh. you weren't celebrating his death. you were remembering him. :rolleyes:
and yeah. rip, kurt.

hell yes it is important to remember people's day of passing.

Nirvana is cool and all but I don't see why people care for Cobain so much and I doubt he himself would want to so much attention after death.

Pablo Picasso died on April 8th of 1973 but lol who gives a fuck.

I do. pablo is god.

cobain is a cumstain on god's undies.

mmmm. more...

well allright, rest in peace.

Wow you've got a good memory, I turned 14 a few days before and I was genuinely sad when I heard from a friend that he had passed away. I had just moved from Australia to Croatia a few months before and Croatia was still in a rocky state, everything seemed to be changing for me and losing Kurt was saddening as he was one of my favourite musicians. It was weird though how immediately after his death all these people who didn't listen to Nirvana suddenly started listening to them for a while, then after a few months this died down and everyone went back to normal, including me who still thinks Nirvana was a great band, I don't care about how popular they became or the hype, that stuff is crap anyway and I try not to take notice of it in general.

my friend just completed this video for Pennyroyal Tea: http://youtube.com/watch?v=WW6R0qj65u4

the footage comes from a documentary called 'the miracle of life.'
uploaded just in time for Kurt Cobain Day, it seems.

Well... Kurt Cobain's death was a major event for people of our generation(s), Picasso's death wasn't... a great deal of us probably weren't even born at that time.

Listening to Nirvana tapes at my cousin's was probably my first introduction to 'punk rock,' or any non-pop radio type music... and introduced me to the idea that musicians can just be normal ordinary people from a small town like mine who picked up a guitar and started making their own songs with their friends.

Guernica versus Smells Like Teen Spirit though

a side note, its my sons 3rd birthday today.

Okay.

But not my generation.

So you have to put up with my I-don't-give-a-fuck's.

Happy birthday to your boy then. Ah, the wonderful circle of life.

ummmm, didn't he die on the 5th???

I think his body was found on the 8th.

but he died on the 5th
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kurt_cobain

aren't you supposed to mourn people on the day they died? not the day the repair man found them dead.

he died inside a long time before that, whenthe muscle frat head fucks that used to kick his ass every day at school started to be the ain audience at all his shows.

imagine how upset and outraged he'd be now if he came back and saw what had become of Courtney and the music he left behind.

Everyone remembers the 8th because that is when everyone remembers hearing about it.

well i was like 5 or 6 when i happened, so i remember the proper date. The date when he actually died.

I was nine. I remember a lot of fuss in the news and I didn't care. I knew he was the lead singer of Nirvana and all and a huge deal but I was too young for all the angsty grunge shit to sink in. Anyways all the idol worship annoyed me since.

exactly.






who else could have brought such sarcasm to mainstream American rock and roll, to have worn a gown to the headbanger's ball...
