    I don't think Ian Curtis was in Sonic Youth.

    I knew he was being out of order.

    Doh

    Why do I always mix up sonic youth with new order? They don’t even sound the same?

    I remember everyone in school going around in army surplus combat jackets and doc martins for a bout 2 or 3 years. My favourite bands were nirvana, pumpkins and radio head at the time. Propbably listen to the pumpkins more now on the odd occasion I stroll down memory lane between themselves and nirvana but I still listen to radio head most days. Think they were unreal. Nirvana for pure adrenaline pumping euphoria though.

    There is no band that has matched the raw dark edged, manic intensity of Nirvana.

    Alice in chains did.

    Did they though? I love both bands but I think Alice and chains relied more on technical proficiency being that cantrell is a hell of a guitar player and kinney is an excellent technical drummer. Nirvana had more of a punk edge to them.

    Bleach is better though. Both in terms of its rawness and the songwriting.

    I mean, I loved Nevermind at the time but it's just too overproduced and some lyrics or indeed entire songs are trite filler. :(

    I liked that record it was good garage rock chock full of hooks. A real rollercoaster ride

    The fact Dave Grohl did so much and is still going adds to it as well. Younger people get exposed to his music and then learn the backstory.

    Shame that Grohl’s post-Nirvana music is so pedestrian.

    The Foo Fighters bear no relation to Nirvana, awful generic dross, if grohl wasn't the lead, they'd be rated no higher than Nickleback

    Abso-bally-lutely. Well, they might rate slightly higher than Nickleback but that’s not saying much.

    Ian Curtis wasn't in New Order either. It was Joy Division, and after he died, they became New Order (with a new member added).

    I'd say Alice took it much much further; AIC can be both a hugely uplifting and harrowing listen depending on the listeners mood.

    The fascination with his death has to do with the fact that he died so young and that his death is surrounded in mystery. A lot of people think that he was murdered and that Courtney Love had something to do with it. Not me, though. I think it was a straightforward case of suicide.

    There a many theories abound, about how he met his demise but let there be no obfuscation. Here was a man who achieved critical approval; commercial success beyond his wildest expectations

    A success which was the very antithesis, of a man of his cultural ethos and so in his heavily burdened/guiltridden mind it still stands to reason. And we can only draw the conclusion ~ he did it out of kurtesy.

    Played there as a support act to Sonic Youth. Oh, if I had a time machine that would surely be one of the gigs I'd like to go back to and visit.

    I was there to see Sonic Youth, the following day I had ringing in my ears, that was from Nirvana I'd say!

    I was too busy watching OJ in his white bronco with a 100 LAPD behind him to notice anything else.

    Is his death more talked about than 2Pac's death or other famous people who died young & violently? Like JFK or Marat?
