Some of you people are dolts.
Obviously, this is a thread that was created for someone to express their feelings in hopes of remembering an individual.
I don't care if its kurt cobain that died, or tom cruise. The point of this thread was to pay tribute, and to create a common thread for people who actually enjoyed his music.
Amish, I just lost all respect for you. Blatant hatred is senseless, and you know damn well your opinion couldn't be given two fvcks around here.
<< He was an over-rated junkie loser. >>
Oh really? So was Bradley Nowell, Shannon Hoon, Jimmy Hendrix, The Stones, the Chilli Peppers, and every other famous, amazingly talented explosion of in the music industry that ever dared to dabble on the dark side. Obviously you're to ignorant to recognize that there MIGHT just be a strange relationship between musical talent and heroin. [/b]SAD-BUT-TRUE[/b].
You're only insulting your own intelligence by writing him off as you are. Whether you, or anyone else chooses to admit it, the following and devastation of his music was influential in itself. His music did change the course of the industry, whether you choose to acknowledge it or not. Its too bad you're ignorance has clouded your arguments. Do a little research on Seattle circa 1980 - Late 90's.
<< I do not miss Kurt Cobain one iota, and I do not feel any sympathy for a rich, healthy, talented man who stuffs himself with booze and dope and then blows his head off leaving his young daughter fatherless. God help little Frances Bean, with parents like Kurt and Courtney she is probably gonna be in rehab while she is still in elementary school. >>
Well, wretched success has claimed the life of more than just this person. It happens to many people in rock and stardom, sadly. He never wanted to be a superstar. He didn't want his venues to be bigger than bars. He didn't want to perform to arenas full of fans, nor did he appreciate the cult following that haunted him on a daily basis. His mental and physical problems, as well as addiction led him to his death. Too bad he had 2-3 times over the lethal limit of drugs in his body when he was found dead, unable to even life the shotgun and coordinate a shot to his head. Strangely they still haven't been able to answer why the shells and gun were left with no finger prints. There are many unknowns surrounding his death and not very many things were done to learn otherwise.
Amish. You're a fool. You clearly don't care about the artists at hand, nor do you want anymore than to be a piece of flamebait.
Show some respect and just pass on by next time you see a thread you feel like sh|ting in - or do you have nothing better to do?
