That's why I don't really like Nirvana - Kurt Cobain played the guitar like Lil' Wayne, which is an insult to guitar players everywhere. |

I'm not a guitarist but I thought the whole allure of Nirvana and grunge in general was the whole "do it yourself" ethos. Sort of the second coming of punk.

A good deal of guitarsturbators leave me cold, even if I appreciate their skill. And a good deal of sloppy garage bands inspire me with their exuberance.

Yeah, there's a TON of unnecessary, ego driven bullshit that bogs down genres **cough metal cough**. I lean towards the metal/punk crossover stuff that strips out the one upping, insecure standing within the fanbase, bullshit that gets labeled as "technical" and just stays focused on the fury. Anyone that's been in a band knows it and that's how weird solo parts turn a good 3 minute song into a 4.5 minute mess that people skip to the next track before it ends and usually why the first 2 albums of a discography are the best.

We part ways here. It's just impossible for me to enjoy music where they're literally beating on their instruments without any thought to musical construction. I just can't do it. I guess I'm a snob. |

I mean, I'm not a Ramones superfan, but I appreciate what they did and why they did it, short powerful fast ditties in response to the meandering studiobound math major opuses of the late 70s. Also, since people are ragging on Nirvana specifically, and Teen Spirit ultra-specifically, to my point I always thought that the star of that video was Dave Grohl's knees and elbows. His contortions wailing on the drums and the way the cinematographer framed it, is the essence of garage band passion, reminds you of Animal on drums in The Muppets.
