elef Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hi, I do remember Nirvana and recognize Cobains face on the photo in the newspaper today. IMO Nirvana is not better than Aqua so I quickly leave this thread! elef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pattaya127 Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Most people would be loathe to turn down such a lifestyle SLH. ------------------------ Or they can go the LOS! Same treatment at a fraction of the price (or cost, speaking of a mopped out rocker), and nobody asks for your autograph or your opinion on the state of the world and what did you mean when you sang.....

elef Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hi WA, 32 years (1972) and a "synthesizer" before the synthesizer was invented! elef Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUZIBANDIT Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 [color:"red"] i always found that nirvana and most of that grunge stuff was a cheap, meaningless, soulless imitation of bands like the doors, spiced up with a few commercial punkish tunes. just some middleclass rebellion ... [/color] I can't see how Cobain could be called some mistrewn, soulless middle-class kid. Growing up in Aberdeen and Montesano, two nowhere, down-and-out logging towns is hardly middle class. In fact, until he hit it big he was too poor to even consider living in Seattle. The original Seattle rockers, Nirvana, Mudhoney, Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Alice in Chains, were anything but commercial in the early years. Sure the later years of grunge were commercial, just look at bands like Candlebox. But who knows, before the name grunge applied, Cobain was asked what style his music was. He said it was simply pop music nut heavier. True enough, but it sure sounded good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SUZIBANDIT Posted April 7, 2004 Author Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Pat Smear was the guitarist and his band was The Germs. He also used to tour with Nirvana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
limbo Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hi Suzi, OK. Theramin, not really a synthesizer, but an 'instrument' or device that reacted to putting and object close to it and it will produce tones. The closer or further away or up and down the devise and the tone will change. The Beach Boys used in Good Vibrations and it got reincarnated by Jon Spencer and the Blues Explosion. Great thing.

elef Posted April 7, 2004 Report Share Posted April 7, 2004 Hi Limbo, I defined it as a "synthesizer" before the synthesizer was invented, as it had 2 oscillators. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
