I've just checked out www.nickdrake.net and it's fantastic. You can find all sorts of info, analytical biography and many unreleased stuff to download. Even if you don't like his music so much, go visit and download a few songs. You'll be surprised!

you don't become a rockstar by accident. nirvana were happy enuff to sign to geffen and have a big media machine push them into the major league. And then kobain starts indulging his persecuted martyr act cos that what middle class college kids want to hear from their idols innit??

If he did'nt like the fame and wealth he could have left the band and given his royalties to charity, odlly enuff he kept taking that fat paycheck. God I hate whinging indie rock stars.

well, he killed himself instead. so i reckon he was genuine. cobain never spent that much money, he never bought huge cars and huge houses like axl rose or james hetfield. i think it all came too fast and he lost control. he was just trying to do his own thing with his band and he did it dead well. and when he didnt enjoy it anymore and felt he had to lie, he killed himself. how could it be more genuine than this?

just for the record I think cobains house was pretty expensive, but he probably was genuine in his own way, I just hate self pitying rockstars with martyrdom complexes...fukking whingers

I don't have a clue about Mr Drake.
Please people recommend a dozen songs worth checking.
Make me a best-of tracklist and I'll DL it to see.
I'm beginning to really wonder bout him, you keep talking bout that guy on and on and on and on ....

Cheers virtual mates
