i'm not a big nirvania fan but cabain was 23 or 24 when nevermind came out so i don't think he was selling youth to anybody. i could see if he was 40 but he was just a kid himself. and i applaud him for helping start a movement that would eventually kill off hair metal. i wish i would have thought of a way to do it.

let freedom ring with a shotgun blast !

Yeah their "smells like TEEN spirit" was clearly intended for a wider audience and not manufactured pop-rock for the teenage MTV crowd.


I don't applaud him for grunge, because all he did was make music stupid with untuned guitars, singers who can't sing, musicians who can't play more htan four notes per song, and shitty record productions.

and he would have noticed how Anthrax album sales went downhill when Bush joined haha

Or perhaps he would have noticed that EVERY metal band except Metallica's sales went downhill after 1992!

I think no-brain had talent but I will never accept him as spokesman for my generation (I'm in his age group) because I wouldn't give up on life when I had a kid. He's a pussy but was a talented one. my two cents.

*score*


(oh, and don't forget, nothing of Metallica's has sold as well as the Black Album. but it did sell a lot after 1992)

I liked Kurt's songs and would never deny that I'm a fan of Nirvana's music, but I gotta agree with Darby's Dad in that I never voted for this guy to be the voice of my generation. I did not feel like Kurt or Tori Amos or Fiona Apple or whoever MTV and Rolling Stone thought should speak for me. The 90s were the most pretentious decade in music and everyone thought they were some kinda of poetic genius.

[DumbAss]

Grunge was just an excuse to wear Plaid and work socks. Other than that it was good for nothing.

DD, this is how I feel. I like Nirvana, but I can't look up to someone like that. Well said.

I once got busy in a burger king bathroom

 

[DarbysDad]

Like Bartles and James would say thank you for your support Karina and Bigphat.

zing!

Yeah I noticed the Bsh era songs a few weeks back when I added him as a friend, I was going to mention something myself, but did not want to start another reunion bashing thread.

I have to admit, I regularly visit Scott’s page just to listen to What Doesn’t Die, much like I am whilst typing this. Great f’n song.

Thats not really true, Megadeth went gold and plat after 92, as Slayer went gold with Divine. And you cant forget Pantera. So while some metal bands did have sales slumps in the 90's for various reasons, some bands, that stayed more true to style than others, continued selling well

 

[Karina_666]

actually, Sound Of White Noise was released in '93 and had excellent sales. I think Elektra dropped the ball after that because the people who were there when they signed Anthrax were gone and nobody understood the music or how to promote it. You had to be on top of shit to even know Stomp 442 was released. I saw absolutely no ads for that and that's the record companies fault.

Megadeth went double platinum with Countdown to Extinction, which came out in 1992. Youthanasia did not do as well as CTE, and Cryptic Writings did not do as well as Youthanasia.

And while Divine went gold, no Slayer album afterward has gone gold.

Anyone know how the new album is selling?
