[QUOTE=“Thrawneen, post: 932869, member: 129”]I’m a big fan too. Maybe not an album band (though I’ve never really tried with them) but some set of singles to their name.

Remember that tune Big Me with the Mentos ad piss-take? That’d be a marquee song for most bands. With the Foos you’d nearly forget they ever made it. Some tunesmiths and Pat Smear on guitar gives them all the cred they need for the snob.[/QUOTE]

I have just listened to 2 songs from their debut album… (Released 14 months after Cobain blew his brains out)…

:clap:

What a sound.

“Oh George”

The first two Foo Fighters albums are excellent.

I particularly like these two.

The new Foo Fighters album is fantastic.

20 years out on his own and constantly living in the shadow of Cobain.

Ah ffs!! I thought Kurt was alive and well and had announced it to the world.

You can be a right prick at times.

Don’t pretend to know what pain is. I was at the tender age of 16 when Cobain ended it. I was devastated.

You were no more than 13 at the time and probably still thought your ladeen was for stirring the tae.

YOU DONT KNOW WHAT PAIN IS.

Grohl well and truly exists in his own right, long out of that other pricks shadow.

Pay-ayayay-ayayay-ayayayain!

Haven’t heard anything else off it, but Something from Nothing from the new FF album is well daycent.

Heard a couple of nirvana songs on the radio recently and was tempted to switch over the lyrics were so depressing and shite. Weird obsession with raping himself he had. The kind of shit Tossy would have got up to after a weekend session a year ago if imagine. I’m glad he got out of that spiral mind. Still a great band all the same though.

As I said already YOU DONT KNOW WHAT PAIN IS.

The baby in the pool on the Nevermind album cover is now a 20 year old man.



I am officially an old cunt.:frowning:

He has to be older than that… 24 maybe…

Nevermind was released in 1991,I think.

I feel even older now, cheers. :frowning:

Cobain was creatively brilliant within a genre that’s time had come, but there wasn’t a whole lot to him beyond that. I think the people who obsess over him are looking for something that’s not there.

96

It was a memorable moment in time. Nothing more.

Grohl has musically eclipsed him but will always live in his shadow.

The dead, and especially those who are seen to have died tragically and before their time, generally tend to leave a long shadow. Just ask McCartney.

Some load of scutter being spouted here.

99

Do you agree with any of it?

100

No.

What would you know about it ? With your showbands head on you… go way and stick on Big Tom there or the Chess men.
