This is very suspect and debatable.

Also your post makes no sense at all. Me card read good.

Alice in Chains are 100 times the band Nirvana were.

endasmail

eh no ,would disagree with ya on that one
i think they were more mainstream then any other grunge band and then the whole kurt cobain suicide ,made sure they went down in history
i was always a Stone temple pilots fan ,alice in chains and the like
come to think about it i was never a really big grunge fan

louisa200

mmmm the band foo fighter before they knew what a power cord was... or kurt cobain who indeed was nirvana, dated, loud, to the point, how and ever, mainstream and obviously no longevity, pain honesty(what does that mean) a small moment in musical history time.... nothing really except cash and.. welll stiched shut eyes during a wake which will keep the beats rolling, tho defo not the eyes rolling x xxx

(foo fighters rest my case).................

Grunge was a stcker and soundbyte label used by record companies. Not a single member of any band big or small in the history of Seattle EVER sat down and said ;lads, lets make grunge music!'

a lot of the rip off bands did (nickleback, creed, stone temple pilots to a lesser dgree) but none of the northwestern bands did.

there was a croiss fertilisation of sound and they were influencing each other a lot of them which is great.

Nirvana wouldnt even be a memory no if Kurt had kept his nerve and stayed around. You *might* remember their 'hit' but thats all. Him putting a full stop to his own life in such a poor me way befitted their (not that great at all) music and made the whole thing overblown for every band involved.

Theres an INCREDIBLE documentary about the whole 'grunge'/Seattle scene featuring ALL the bands involved called HYPE!! you hafta watch tis..its excellent and everyones in it.

heres the first part..its all on youtube..watch it..everything you need to know about the Seattle scene is in here

Since Kurt's death Nirvana are the most commercial, mainstream and popular grunge band

Kurt would vomit on your doubtless ripped up converse if you used that word in the same sentence as his band.

can ya explain that statement?
seen as CORE was released in 1992 i think and NEVERMIND was released 1993
how do ya reckon they were a rip?

dimejinky99

Well STP are a Pj rip, lets be honest, I like them but they were aping Seattle with Core. they found their own feet with Purple and Tiny Music particularly. Good band..

Ps-Nirvana don't come into the rip off thing..(other than they were ripped off they themselves ripping the pixies and the beatles off but thats academic)

bigeasyeah

Class band,prob the best of all that stuff but a was always turned off from them by their angsty fans.

bigeasyeah

oh and another thing the whole ripoff thing will never hold water.I hate the whole 'my fave band is better than your fave band' crap.grow up.

endasmail

IMO Core was and is their best album,apart from the vocals i dont see any other similarities

what ya on about??????
its called debating ,no ones getting into that side of it

dimejinky99

Nobody said better, they just got signed cos they sounded like a music scene a thousand miles away STP were from San Diego. Theyre earlier version was a hair metal cock rock bit, something theyve been at pains to hide by the way.
I like them, seen them play twice, but definitely a sound alike to begin with. they did find their own way musically though.

dimejinky99

And by the way ill take STP ANYDAY over Creed or Nickleback!! jesus those bands are horrible.

endasmail

Nevermind was released in 1991.

Sit down and listen to Pearl Jam's back catalogue and Nirvana's back catalogue. If you believe after this that Nirvana are the best grunge band, IMO you must of prefered The Monkees to The Beatles.

I do love Nirvana, i really do. But if you took Nevermind out of the occasion, Nirvana is nothing (not saying the rest is utter ****, but its not stunning stuff tbh!) You can take Ten from Pearl Jam or BadMotorFinger from Soundgarden and they'd still have a catalogue of awesome-ness. Catch my drift.

Cobain's anti-commercial stance was a bit ****ed too seeing as they were the NO. 1 most commercial Seattle band, even though they weren't the biggest.
