It could do with a polish.

That's a good one.

Pumpkins, baby, Pumpkins! Kurt does have the "advantage" of having stopped making music at his peak, so overall his catalogue is probably stronger. But if you cut Billy off after Mellon Collie, I would definitely go with him. I am a fan of both bands but the Pumpkins offered more variety.

On a different note, what kind of music do ya'll think Kurt would be making today? Surely by now his sound would have changed considerably. As others have mentioned, when musicians die young they aren't burdened by all the lesser music they almost certainly would have made later in their careers.

I had that, but don't remember anything about the Tori dance. I'll have to try to find it if I didn't lose it somewhere.

i KNOW i've seen it somewhere...maybe it was on that documentary about their tour with sonic youth? i've only seen clips from that film.

Anxiety said:

I've heard about this, but never seen it. It didn't seem like they thought too highly of Tori's remake.

Corgan was the shite!

i think they were just being silly. maybe they liked it, i dunno. i think they really enjoyed taking the piss out of that song - i love the UK music show where kurt sang "teen spirit" like morrissey.

Anxiety said:

whaaa ??

CinisterCee said:

now THIS i KNOW is on the "live! tonight! sold out!" video.

Anxiety said:

Courtney definitely didn't like it.

Anxiety said:

interesting.. I can imagine they liked poking fun at their signature hit.

sextonseven said:

why do you say that?

Anxiety said:

She used to make fun of Trent for being friends with someone who did such an awful remake of her husband's song. I know I read this somewhere.

sextonseven said:

that's a rant i'd love to have heard.

Anxiety said:

I'm currently looking for proof that it exists somewhere. I know I didn't make it up. I swear.

I did find an old Kurt interview on VH1 where he says he and Courtney used to dance to it before breakfast:

He actually called it 'flattering'.

Corgan. Fuck Kurt Cobain.



I know I'm gonna get in trouble for that.

nah. i'd long graduated high school before i had a chance to hear jocks chant that, so i figure i'm good for a few knuckleheads saying those three words before i go all bjork-in-an-airport on your ass.

Anx, did u get to see Nirvana play live ever? They totally toured Chicago 'n shit.

NWF said:

Wouldn't be the 1st time.

btw, that Duran Duran cover art is classic.

Even if the band isn't.

Hmm...This is a tough one. For me, it's a draw. If your talking about lyrics, Kurt wins. You can literally feel his words hitting you in the pit of your stomach.

However, as a musician, Billy's better. I think Billy's done stuff musically that Kurt couldnt do(I doubt Kurt could have pulled off messing with electro sounds like the Pumpkins did on Adore).

As for vocals, Kurt wins. Tho Im used to Billy's whiny voice, he's not that great in a technical sense.

CinisterCee said:

Nah. I wasn't able to see many shows back then.

i like these two drama queens alot..well used to..while cobain reminded me of a beat-nik rocker..and corgan a morrissey without hair..i must say corgan..cause i have history with this band..i dont know...i mean corgan..new album it was horrible..and well apperently cobain dosen't make albums anymore..
