3 Things Nirvana Did BETTER Than ANY Other Grunge Band

[@travisrolbiecki-qi4fm]

Kurt Cobain was a rare genius. It’s simple and not hard to understand. Listen to him in interviews. He was 27 years old speaking with so much wisdom. It’s not complicated. Nirvana is amazing band that will be remembered 100 years from now.

[@CynicoleT]

All his Demos tell a story too, if they had fully released songs like Do Re Mi, Burn the Rain or She only Lies he wouldve had another hit album, such a great artist.

[@jessiepinkman7736]

The thing that still amazes me about Kurt Cobain was how good he was at expressing himself. Whether spoken or written, Kurt always had something to say that was interesting. He was clearly extremely intelligent and more perceptive than anybody his age had a right to be. The fact he was driven to self-destruction at such a young age, is a sad loss to the whole world.

[@folksurvival]

It was normal back then for people in their 20s and younger to be intelligent, thoughtful and articulate.

[@jessiepinkman7736]

@@folksurvival I grew up in the 1960's and '70's, was the 1990's really that long ago? It might be true that more people had slightly better "people skills" in those long lost days of yore pre internet (it only existed c. 1995 after all) but I hadn't noticed how much more thoughtful the 20'ish folk were than they are now.

[@youngsuccess6330]

Born in 1999 I started playing guitar because of Cobain. And now my band is starting to do gigs original music.

[@themashugana9440]

What Nirvana did better than most bands do was they were 100% dedicated to what they were doing. They never wavered & they never compromised. It was complete, 24/7, balls to the wall dedication & passion for the art that they wanted to portray & perform. What you saw with them was what you got. Take it or leave it, they did it their way & on their terms. Pure integrity.

[@SecularProphet2112]

I was exactly 10 years older, 25 when Kurt died and they're still my favourite band of all time.

[@matthewsolina4920]

Nirvana’s songs were the main thing that made them great. And I feel like Kurt and Krist are both underestimated as players. I started playing guitar in the early nineties as a young kid and the beauty of punk rock is that it’s something a kid can get into. It’s not technically challenging, it’s more physical and visceral. That was really inspiring to me.

[@grungetea]

I love Pearl Jam and the others seattle bands, but Nirvana had something different and special, like The Beatles. I can't explain what it is with words, maybe a combination of songs, style, image, meaning.

[@wvu05]

The reason why Alice in Chains was able to keep going was that the primary songwriter (Jerry Cantrell) is very much alive and still working. You couldn't have Nirvana without Kurt Cobain.

[@DannyLeeOGT]

And Alice in chains has only had one real hit since Layne died. The older AIC blows Nirvana out of the water now. Just look at documentaries on Kurt Cobain and documentaries on Layne Staley. The numbers are obvious. Almost every time they sing live now, they play their setlist with the songs that were sang by Layne.

[@taxevader7777]

@@gregoryandrus5322​​⁠for me personally, AIC is just something that ill never get tired of. For one their music is more diverse than nirvana. Plenty of their songs sound a lot different than other songs. Nirvana songs for the most part are all pretty similar to each other. Each Nirvana song is very similar to the every other song on the same album. At most the sound changes a bit with each album, and even then, the change isnt as significant as the change between each AIC song. Because of this, for me personally, Nirvana loses its magic pretty fast. On the other hand, i can listen to an AIC album multiple times a day, often doing this for days on end, and they still sound amazing every time i listen to them. AIC is also more unique. For one, Laynes voice is extremely unique, and no one can really replicate it to the point where its indistinguishable from the real Layne. Kurts voice on the other hand is a lot more simple, and a lot of people can replicate it near perfectly. This also applies to just the overall sound. Nirvana’s sound isnt all that unique. Its very simple and doesnt differ a ton from the bands that came before Nirvana. You can find bands out there that sound noticeable similar, both from before and after Nirvana. On the other hand AIC is really unique. Ive never heard a band that sounds like AIC, neither from before or after AIC. Also if you look at it objectively, AIC is a lot more technically skilled and complex than Nirvana, which also plays a part in why AIC sounds more unique, and also why their songs sound significantly different from each other. The song writing is also WAY better than Nirvana. Its deeper, darker, and just overall has more meaning and is a lot better than Nirvana. Theres some other reasons and i maybe couldve explained a bit better, but off the top of my head this is mainly why i think AIC is WAY better than Nirvana. I do like Nirvana ofc and im not saying theyre bad or anything. To be fair though, ill also say that Nirvana and AIC are a lot different from each other. Theyre different genres, have different influences, and different goals/ideas when it comes to their music. I honestly dont even like to compare them because i find it unfair. I dont think theyre similar enough to really even be compared. The only reason theyre seen as similar, is because they were both rock bands from seattle in the early 90s, so they all got lumped together under the term “grunge”. People see grunge as a genre, but in reality its just a scene. All of the more well known grunge bands differ a lot from each other, and their music explores different genres/styles. To me, comparing nirvana and AIC is like comparing the beatles to the doors or something. I mean you can compare them if you want, but the beatles and the doors are way different from each other for the most part, similar to how AIC and Nirvana are way different from each other, and its hard to say in good faith that one band is better than the other, when they arent all that similar to each other, other than the fact that they existed at the same time, and in the case of AIC and Nirvana, were from the same “scene” that happened to blow up.

On top of all of that Kurt was on a mission.

[@baratheda777]

Kurt was a musical genius. Lyrically he was poetic, cryptic and clever. You can take his lyrics literally or infer them how you like. The songs are very easy to hum too. Lovely rhymes and interesting combinations of words. I remember a point when hipsters pretended to not like or listen to Nirvana because Kurt was gone and they were too mainstream. Pretended that they were over it and only liked Neutral Milk Hotel, Fugazi or etc. Nirvana are a band you love for life. Its like The Beatles, Hendrix, Bob Dylan and Bob Marley. Universal and very much representative of its era. Nirvana is one of the greatest bands of all time

[@IloveKurtCobain-z5k]

Kurt was the band. He was a poet that put his poems to music.

[@konheeed]

[@stukabomber7533]

Yeah but Courtney was Kurts Yoko Ono for sure. Yes Kurt was the lyricist and the focal point. And I believe give credit where credit is due. But after Courtney was done hypnotizing Kurt with all her (drugs and charm??) She complained until Kurt was receiving 75% of the income! Money meant nothing to Kurt, except I'm sure he enjoyed not couch hoping anymore. But 25% off what the largest band in the world at the time was making...split between 2 is an insult. Then here comes Pat Smear! (Imagine having that name 😅) So 3 people now have to split a quarter of the profit. Pat was brought on because Kurt started forgetting different chords among other things. So Kurt's personal problems caused the remaining members to make even less money.

Im almost forty and seems like Nirvana had a big resurgence, when i was a teen it was years after grunge had peaked. I remember when i got my smile face t shirt was hard to come by back then, now it is so popular that my better have got same shirt for our kid recently at Walmart.

[@LuminaireNoire]

I'm around the same age and I also find Nirvana's resurgence wild. It gladdens my heart to hear Gen Z embracing a lot of bands such as Nirvana who meant so much to me growing up in the '90s, but it's also a very strange sensation when somebody like Kurt becomes legendary & almost mythical in status posthumously 30 years later.

[@jackalhusband6717]

when i was a kid i remember listening to many nirvana songs in the car with my dad as he would sometime sing along with them and my dad had loved nirvana back when they were thriving and still to this day he listens to them and loves them. he tells me that even today listening to their songs are almost refreshing. many artists today do the lowest bare minimum for music and almost don’t seem to care and only want fame. kurt was doing his own thing with good morals with the music. the expression he expressed was remarkable and amazing. nirvana was is and always a banger. in every way it is nostalgic and beautiful.

[@jessiepinkman7736]

Kurt ultimately felt dismayed about many aspects of stardom. He went through a crowd at one of his concerts and saw a couple kids actually shooting up smack - they said "See Kurt, we're just like you!" This shocked and dismayed him and i think it really stuck with him for the rest of his days. He never wanted to be any kind of role model but for him it was unavoidable, and he hated that part of celebrity -

He didn't have to do that. If he did that. Not 100% convinced. But as someone who's had problems with opioids, and has gone through multiple withdrawals, I totally get how hopeless things can seem. During withdrawals, you can't even escape the torture by sleeping, cuz you can't sleep. Try being tortured for more than 22 hours a day for 10 consecutive days. Feels like years. 😭

So perfect how you quoted Rick beato. We've known that Kurt was a genious for Centurys, but Rick actually went ahead and proved it showing how complex Cobains compositions actually were, with key changes mid riff and multiple modal changes within a single song, from someone who never bothered to learn a scale.

[@wvu05]

I think that he was definitely doing the punk thing of understating how hard he worked. Krist Novoselic later admitted that they treated their eight and nine hour rehearsal sessions as more serious than any job. Unfortunately, too many never saw the skill behind the simplicity and never got better because they thought it was counterproductive.

Not quite ahead of their time. Kurt was a very talented singer & songwriter who blended punk rock with the riffage & heaviness of metal and the structure of pop music; many bands did that before Nirvana. However, had he lived, he may have leaned more into his folk, country, and blues influences as he did in the Unplugged performance, and he may have added more classical instruments as he did with the cellists on In Utero & its tour. It's sad that we can only speculate.

Why Nirvana got famous?

Additionally their music still sounds much better than many other things that are played on the radio. And not to forget even for all the hate and murder-innuendo she got: Courtney's (and also Dave's) legacy-work. Dave is the worker, and she keeps them in talk, adding new fuel to the fire whenever the sales go low. She understands that bad press is better than no press. That keeps the franchise alive.

Advertisments were in any nespaper. And not to forget: every larger city suddenly had a Virgin Megastore in the late 80's, in a sort of 'cultural mission'. The first thing they advertised and hyped was political rock like U2 and the anti-apartheit-musicians and then Guns'n'Roses, and the LA - Rockscene. And after those were known and expoited, they featured Seatle-Bands. I know that me and my friend who had collected all the blues and rock records, our record-dealer suggested to us, even bought Nevermind for our collections, thinking if it was Grunge it might sound like Temple Of The Dog, that we both loved, but realized the rest was just a 'noise-pit with a front-screamer' and it remained sitting on our shelves gathering dust, until he died.

I believe Kurt would have left Nirvana if he survived. He would have focused on arts for a while because he was creative. He would have gone on with music after a couple of years. He would have joined Nirvana making new records and probably a solo project until his death. During an interview in Seattle at Edgewater Hotel he said he saw himself like Johnny Cash in older age, playing guitar on his chair. And I still can't believe he took his life, because his wife was a toxic egomaniacal wife and she lied all over the years to protect herself.

NEVER ENDING ARGUMENT:THEORY VS SELF TAUGHT.

[@jakeanderson1068]

Hahaha that's a tall Kurt of thrones

[@joshbau5481]

What’s the last song playing?

[@kabiam]

Their catalog has been constantly in print and available. It also seems nowadays bands from the past can still make millions from t-shit royalties. They're over licenced to every outlet that sells clothes. Not to mention that music never got any better after the mid 90's. It actually got worse. Kind of why The Beatles are also still popular.

Hilarious, and at the same time illuminating, how Kurt expresses zero interest in 'musicianship' and music theory, which in his view gets in the way of originality, followed immediately by the clip of an expert in music theory, explaining how Kurt was spot on with structure, melody etc. And this was because he had a natural 'ear for music'. Seems like Kurt's strengths were his creativity and originality - finding an innovative way to combine different styles, combined with passion and commitment to do whatever it took making his dreams a reality, combined with integrity, empathy and an ability to connect on a human level. It's a shame that his unhealed wounds from his childhood, self doubt, and health problems sabotaged his success and led to drug addiction and premature death. But great that what he achieved in such a short space of time has become a lasting legacy. ❤

[@joejones9520]

he said he had no desire to get better on guitar but if he'd made it to the internet times and saw how easy it is now to learn literally any cool song you can think of he'dve laughed at himself for saying that

[@Merlina7]

@@joejones9520 Yes I'm sure he would have embraced new technology for both music and as a visual artist. Virtual reality was just beginning to emerge at that time, and he did express an interest in how that could be used. And given his love of dolls, he might have designed some weird and wonderful Avatars and even created customised bots, and brought his imaginary friend Boddah to life! At the same time I think he would have realised the importance of staying connected with the unique human qualities of intuition, originality, raw emotion and empathy.

no, nirvana had to have kc to be nirvana whereas aic needed layne badly but because most songs were written by jerry they could continue on convincingly enough w/o layne

[@JProhask1]

I’m sorry they were no Jane’s Addiction. They were OK. Nirvana Nevermind was a great album but other than that, they just fell into the right spot at the right time. It was all luck.

[@federicozig6365]

ok im a big fan of Janes Addiction, one of my favorites. But Nirvana had great energy, amazing drumming, fantastic melodies in many songs, really honest productions without overdoing it and really fun live act. Come on!! watch some early gigs they rocked

[@dustystarr2297]

I mean Kurts hero was John Lennon, so it seems reasonable that his songs would have a depth beyond the simple presentation.

[@loriredwood2269]

I really don't like the use of the phrase "it would have been far better if he hadn't done that". What been killed? Also remember he had only recently recorded "You Know You're Right" before his death. Not really a fade out.

[@nicholaskruger9460]

AI picture. Kurt all buff. Kurt was thinking as could be

[@peytonlong5573]

Think it’s simple Kurt Cobain was apart of the band

[@sebastian8710]

Background song in the beginning?

[@gwoodtones]

Alice in chains didn't lose their songwriter... Jerry cantrell wrote the most of the aic stuff....with the death of kurt cobain nirvana lost besides its voice and guitar also its songwriter.... no nirvana without kurt.... alice in chains made some new alice in chains songs...without its voice.... of Lane...

[@frankjamesbonarrigo7162]

Ramones did alright

[@austindize]

people talking about music theory sounds really annoying - like who cares just play what sounds good

[@Metalheadreaper87]

Just because you see kids and young adults wear the shirts with nirvana doesnt mean they listen to them. They just wear band shirts because its a trend. And alot of these gen z kids listen to thay garbage trap hip hop hyperpop crap. Just saying.

[@AGENT_MIFTAHUL]

im a 14 yo gen z and im sad about the fact that how i am a huge fan of nirvana and i'd love to get one nirvana tshirt but cant, but people who dont even listen to nirvana have like 30 different of those.

[@joejones9520]

"just sayin" negates your comment and labels u a typical conformist

[@miltonblipp]
