It's been 9 years..... - Sitcoms Online Message Boards

It's been 9 years today since the tragic and untimely death of the grunge legend, Kurt Cobain. Your fans miss you Kurt, but we all know that your music, your band's music, and your legacy live on forever. In honor of Kurt, I would like for everyone to take the time to listen to "You Know You're Right", Kurt's last hit. Here's a link to a place where you can hear it.

Rest in Peace, Kurt Cobain.....

I was there at the Kurt Cobain Memorial Vigil at the Seattle Center. I wished I'd stayed longer and not had to go to work across the street, I heard stuff went crazy with cops spraying people who were in the fountain (you're not supposed to be in it, but hey, people are mourning, get it, SPD??

No one likes Seattle cops). They were using fire hoses and things on them, from what I saw on the news.

It would've been interesting to see what would have happened in music had he lived.

R.I.P. Kurt.

9 years already!? Wow. I was young, but I remember hearing it on the news... I can't believe it. Time has flown.

9 years goes by fast. I'm not a fan but I remember hearing about it when I was young.

I was only 6 when it happened, but I remember hearing about it too. I'm not sure if I was 6 when I heard about it, but I remember I didn't know who Nirvana was. I can recall watching Nirvana "Behind the Music" and hearing the songs and thinking, hey they're pretty good.

Grunge would definately still be alive and kicking if Kurt had have lived.

You know, the other day I was watching this thing that was talking about Kurt and the unplugged performance and how he commited suicide 3 months after, and I started crying. His talent was so amazing, it makes me sad that someone that awesome had to leave the world. I know Im mushy gushy, but oh well.

I don't think grunge would still be around.

I don't even think it's fair to peg his music as "grunge."
I think terming music like that is more applicable to immitators and people trying to be part of a style or niche- the originals defy labels in my opinion.

His music is what he was. And I think it would have evolved into something even greater and much different than anything we have heard.

It's an f-ing shame.

ABlairican Pie · 04-06-2003, 12:12 AM

I remember a Guitar Player issue I had which had an article 12 years ago called "Seattle Erupts! Nirvana, Pearl Jam, Soundgarden" and it was such a great time when the music of Seattle was so bloody, so brutal, and so HONEST TO GOD HOLY because it was so untainted and unpretentious. It was great to know we had something that no one could touch, that we were about to unleash it on the world. It wasn't all taken over and imitated by wannabe attitudes...yet. It was like metal was reborn...like Black Sabbath and other bands in Birmingham, England in the late '60's. That feeling of the perfect power chord, that noise, that dissonance, that rage and edge that tore through your gut when you heard it full blast....There was no way to describe it.

And it was over just too damned quick.

I agree. You really can't put Nirvana into a category. They stand out too far above the rest. It's like trying to put the Beatles in a category. You can't really do it, you just say the Beatles and expect everyone to know what you're talking about.

Oh, I started crying when I was watching parts of the Unplugged performance. And when I read Courtney Love's Euology.....man, that brought the tears.
Every night I've been sleeping with his mother, and I wake up in the morning and think it's him because their bodies are sort of the same. And I have to go now.

This really gets me for some reason.....
Just tell him he's a ****er, OK? Just say "****er." "You're a ****er." And that you love him.

Rest in Peace, Kurt.. You and your music will always be remembered.

Layne Staley died exactly nine years after Kurt Cobain, on April 5, 2002. A very eerie coincidence, indeed.

There are actually a lot of things these two have in common that make that even more eerie. They were both born in the same year, 1967. They both grew up with divorced parents. They both began playing on the drums, and both got their starts in Seattle.
