well ??? was he?

in my eyes he was.

do you think they'll be as good a songwritter as him in the near future ?

just wondered what your view were on this subject !

No.

Lots of people write just as good songs but go on to write crap stuff. Not everyone has the chance to die before their overall song writing level average goes down.

By Keondra on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 02:00 am:

Fuck no. If it wasn't for the smack he shot in his arms he wouldn't have gotten famous at all. Then again, even with the smack the songs were still shit so... no.

By wakey on Sunday, December 16, 2001 - 02:43 pm:

keondra, i think few million people will disagree with you on that note.

the songs were never shit !

you will find a lot of people who dont like rock music still have a certain amount of respect for kurt cobain and his song writting.

He was a great song writer, but come off it: it's quite obvious Courtney Love wrote all his songs. After all, they were married and both musicians, right? Hur Hur.

And Keondra, how come the smack addicts I've met aren't famous?

By Rob Ruck on Monday, December 17, 2001 - 11:33 am:

Hmmm.. I know a couple of guys who would kill me (or at least punch me forcefully in my nose) if I should try to tell them Courtney *bitch* Love wrote Cobain's songs.

Yeah, he was great, but I don't think he was the greatest.

By Keondra on Wednesday, December 19, 2001 - 03:03 am:

Well those few million people are also the people who worship a dead man. If he didn't want to be famous he should have kept his songs to himself. If he had kept those songs to himself he wouldn't be six feet under pushing up daisies. Fine whatever, I'll give it to him, wait no I won't because he went out like an asshole!
Gee, I don't know the smack addicts you know, Trumpeter, they quite possibly could get famous because if Mr. Cobain could get famous writing what he wrote I think your smackhead friends could get famous too.

I don't worship Kurt Cobain, I worship drugs, fer fucksakes.

He obviously had a hole lot up in his head to sing about. A good shot at being an established song writer, but could sometimes lose his head over it at the same time.


(pun was intended)

OK, since everyone just pissed about on this topic and never actually answered the question, I shall answer it for you because I am, of course the brainiest and most knowledgeable user of coping.

No, Cobain wasn't the best song-writer that ever lived, that was Lennon of course, but he was a decent song writer who had a nack for inventing smart melodies which could make a basic grungy power-chord tune into a catchy classic song which rocked!
I still love my Nirvana records despite being bored to tears with SLTS. They did 3 great albums and achieved so much in such a short period of times and it was great how they killed off these dominating shit bands like Kiss and such shite.

What really pissed me off though is all these shitty bands trying to be the next Nirvana and thinking they can bring grunge back to life. The fact of the matter is, grunge died the moment Cobain pulled that trigger.
Now, you can't better that for saying the world's shit can you? haha. These shitty Nirvana wannabe grunge bands should all just give up by now and pack it in, there'll never be a next Nirvana.

Though, I seriously think they should wait until Eddie Veller blows his head off before they give up.
