The Beatles meet The Ramones-Let there be Nirvana.........:

im: dying to read jelly roll-luke sutherland.got it today
listening to: johnny cash-hurt (Nine Inch Nails Cover)

this is just a response to mae's comments abt cobain..well i dont think im the first one to think nirvana has beatles influences..or ramones but ttd b an understatemnt..any number of songs on nevermind have extremly beatlesque guitars..wt distortion..wch does not nullify the influence..some of their music itself is quite beatlish pop..more than a few songs hav 'come together' hangovers..one reason u may not hav noticed is bcoz of his 'whiny angst ridden' vocals in ur own words..lol..i agree they get a little repetitive thematically..they wld make for miserably boring concept albums..but at the time it was defintly new n ground-breaking..i doubt any generation musically speaking has been more vocal abt insecurities wch is a good thing..kinda put a human more mortal face to rock n roll.rockstars cld b losers n failres too suddenly..n it was a lesson learnt..but more importantly a point of confluence for a lot disillusioned music fans..hair metal took as much out of music as it gave to its sale-ability..id venture as far to say tht it turned off a lot of music fans to the extent of turning away..nirvana brought them back to the record shops bcoz here was somethng they cld identify wt..howver fake it may seem to u now sitting in ur living room listeng to crazytown..times change but i doubt nirvana has become any less relevant...as for ramones, if i feel like listeng to punk, id play myself a sex pistols song..mebe even greenday or nofx..not quite ramones..but ive liked pretty much evrythng ive heard of theirs n theres no doubt theyve influenced most of curreent punk..incl. the 2 latter mentioned bands who may not quite qualify as punk..nirvana's punk sensibilities r unquestionable..right from tehir converses to break-and-start-agen drum rolls, theres punk oozing out of their songs..wch is prob wht made the beatles influence not so easy to pick out..so like i said..beatles meets ramones..to some extent..wt nirvana..
abt the other stuff..well i cnt see hw anyone cn quite hate nirvana or cobain..but i guess they were a bit over hyped wch is no real fault of theirs..wld b nice if so called grunge fans listened to lesser knwn but brilliant bands of the era like screaming trees, greenriver, mother love bone, mad season, temple of the dog(u know woh they are)..not to mention the successful ones..alice in chains, soundgarden, stp, pearljam, and the fore-runners..meatpuppets, vaselines..hw abt some credit to neil young?frankly i think audioslave is a great contemporary band(hate the term post-grunge..or grunge for that matter) ..wt metal roots and 'grunge' sensibilities..AIC is a personal favourite..R.I.P Layne Staley

p.s. if ur really into music of the early 90s, esp the seattle sound, check out this documentry called HYPE! its abt grunge as a moment n has footage n intervws of almost all leading musicians of the time..also a good watch is SINGLES, a movie by cameron crowe ..the soundtrK is wt really gets u..movies ok-mush..a skeletel REALITY BITES...
