[quote=Gizmo;463190]What i said about Kurt Cobain was a statement of fact, he WAS a whiney self pitying , for gods sake man, he had the world at his feet, a successful band, money in the bank, a wife and family, yet he would bitch and moan about the success he had, he was pathetic, anyone who puts a gun in their mouth and takes the easy way out leaving a wife and child behind is in my book pathetic, i don't buy into all that tortured artist rubbish, we all have problems in life, i've had more ups and downs in life than an Alton Towers rollercoaster, didn't blow my brains out over it though, i really don't understand how people can show such hero worship towards a man who was so selfish as to blow his own head off in the ultimate act of self pity, you need to look past the music.
So please forgive me for disrespecting a man who blew his own head off...what on earth was i thinking
Best post of the week on here, Cobain was a whingebucket - no loss to society in my opinion either- the coward.
Gizmo has had more ups & downs than most but no bullet has been used, I take my hat off to folks like him- Cobain made 1 great song, smells like teen spirit. That was it

I'd like to throw in a few names here, starting with a couple that were taken from us at the height of their talent, and who could have gone on to shape modern music even more than they did:
Randy Rhoads
Bon Scott
Maggie Bell
Sir Alex Harvey, Esq.
St. Jimi, who art in heaven..
And I'll continue with a few who are sadly missed (by me anyway), yet taken from us after their particular star had faded somewhat:
Phil Lynott
Frank Zappa
Dallas 'Digger' Royale
Pete Wells
Steve Clarke
And I'll finish with the three best drummers the world has ever seen:
Keith Moon
Bonzo
Cozy Powell
R.I.P. one and all.
"It makes my blood burn with metal energy..."
Yes! To Jeff Buckley!
Dimebag!!!
I feel a lol coming on...
Yep, a definite lol.
lol lollol
Kurt did write some good songs. teen spirit was a classic but when something becomes so popular it then means that the hardcore fans hate it!. Dont know why that is,but always seems to be so.
"He blew his mind out in a car
He didnt notice that the light had changed"
Somebody mentioned Maggie Bell, but the wifie's no deid yet! She's 63, and probably still beltin' it oot!
I'd like to bring back Freddie Mercury of Queen, Michael Hutchence of INXS, and Layne Staley of Alice in Chains.
Also Eva Cassidy - not a rock star, but with the voice of an angel.
