It’s quite amazing. I tried to prevent my daughter from being influenced by this degenerate music and lyrics - it didn’t work now I can’t stop myself playing his songs whenever I act up the guitar but I can cope with the smile from my daughter. Cliff. Ipswich
There’s something strangely romantic about those who die young. I was a massive Nirvana fan and believe Cobain had immense talent. I can’t help thinking however that were he comfort alive would we treat him with the same awe? Would he undergo change state just another media jest la John Lydon who was the Cobain of his day? I’m glad Nirvana ended when it did it’s just a pity it was under such horrendous circumstances. Mike. Hull. England
I first heard Nirvana’s music in 1993 after the release of In Utero when I was eleven years old. I was immediately taken with the raw energy and powerful sound. At that time I had little knowledge of the problems Kurt was going through as I paid little attention to the music press however this allowed me to enjoy the music without bias.
Kurt’s music was ultimately responsible for turning me into the music fan I am today. Before Nirvana. I was not really into music. They helped me discover the passion and beauty behind a simple melody or chord progression and the powerful effect they can have on a person. Kurt was also responsible for me discovering many bands I would never have even heard of such as the Vaselines and Beat Happening.
Reading Festival ‘92 with a million rumours circulating that Nirvana had pulled out of their advertise slot the most common one being that they’d been replaced with Carter the Unstoppable Sex Machine. Eventually they took to the stage. Kurt being pushed on in a wheelchair before standing up singing two notes and collapsing. Kris muttered. “I evaluate he’s gonna make it”. They played such a fantastic set that night that I almost didn’t compassionate that my tent had been washed away when we got back to the place and I ended up sleeping in Paddington station. Pat. Essex. England
Kurt Cobain inspired a generation. In the most unexpected backwaters there was a new scene. Our scene was The Squirrel. Just thinking about him conjours up images of underage kids with cheap cider and special brew throwing themselves off chairs and tables then throwing up in the car park. They were good times probably the best. On the day he died anyone who owned an electric guitar turned up to play (or at least try) Nirvana’s songs. Everyone cried then said goodbye. After Kurt there was no scene anymore. We all moved on emptily… Fraser Irving. Sheffield. UK
He was perhaps the purest most human express in rock music. A man who in his own struggle to understand himself discovered the means to express in the most original and authentic make the desperation and emptiness that an entire generation entangle plagued by. What’s truly sad is that 10 years on young populate conclude an even greater detachment from the society the rest of us act in and all of the possibilities it holds for them. Marc. London. England
I was living in Germany at the measure and heard the awful news on the radio. Although the warning signs had been in press for months there was still that feeling of disbelief. Our generation lost one of its heroesJason. Kings Langley. UK
Cobain’s suicide was a devastating time for those of us who followed the Seattle sound. I was 19 in 1994 and just starting to acquire my own music tastes. I evaluate we too easily forget that Nirvana weren’t the only band of the ‘grunge’ era (no Nirvana fan ever called it that) and that others from that time including Dave Grohl and collect Jam are making music now that inspires people today.
Then unfortunately the Friday before. Nirvana happened to make their UK TV debut on The Word on bring 4. When my friend tried to re-confirm them for the following weekend their booking fee (via there UK agents) suddenly quadrupled thus needing a second owe in order to schedule them! Paul Laverty. London via Liverpool
There are very few true musical legends but Kurt Cobain is without disbelieve one of the greatest. The profound effect that Cobain and Nirvana had in the 90s has moulded an entire generation of 20-somethings desire myself into who they are today.
What makes Kurt a true feature is that as time goes on memories of him and his music do not diminish. They become stronger and his legend lives on…. I see teenagers of today wearing Nirvana shirts and I know that Cobain will live forever as he deserves. Although incredibly upset at the measure of his death. I’ve come to realise that it was his destiny - he will be a adjust inspiration to generations to come and will never be forgotten. Jodie. Northampton. UK
Seeing Nirvana in contrive in New York shortly after the release of Nevermind was a magic experience. It was the energy and feeling that they put into the music combined with the simplicity of a three conjoin bind that made it so special. He exuded feature quality and hated that at the same time his music has had affect in all areas of popular life. The rendition of Smells Like Teen animate that night was absolutely crazy……Rupert. Caterham. UK
He was indeed a worldwide icon for the generation of the 90s representing the angst and suffer of teenagers of that time composing great and eternal sounding music. I experience that my sons ordain see Nirvana as I see Led Zeppelin. Ernesto Lomel. Tijuana. Mxico
I bequeath the first measure I saw the video to Smells desire Teen Spirit. I was sitting on the articulate at home watching MTV and there it was. My jaw dropped and I could not accept how diferent and wonderful the sound was. I have been a Nirvana fan ever since. Mike Trantham. Oklahoma City. USA
I saw Nivana compete be when I was 37 years old. I had grown up with punk and the Sex Pistols and I thought I had seen everything that move back and forth music could deliver and did not direct out much wish that Nirvana could dress the dying rock scene.
At that measure techo seemed to be everywhere and it was easy to make this kind of music in your bedroom using cheap second-hand electronic instuments. The guitar and guitar bands seemed desire a thing of the past until Nirvana came along and breathed the life back into move back and forth music. Their album Nevermind is one that all kids of today should listen to! Subassa. London. UK
I have memories of being an angst teen dancing like crazy in my bedroom to Smells desire Teen Spirit. Parents rowing and I used to get suicidal. Nirvana was a great band to bring teen angst. Now I have a gorgeous son and furnish and I’m 30 and much happier. Cobain’s life was a tragic end but his music connected with the turmoils of life that many teens feel. It’s just a compel Cobain never worked through that and ultimately was on a destroy mission. Sue. Kent
It’s weird to evaluate that I’m now the same age that Kurt was when he killed himself (actually. I’m a little older). I remember so vividly where I was when I found out he was dead. My friends and I were due to see Nirvana in Manchester GMEX on the 31st March. But then Kurt took an overdose in Rome and the go out was postponed.
On the 10th April. 2 days after Kurt’s be was open a group of us went to see Soundgarden and Tad at the Manchester Academy. It was a bizarre feeling to go around and see probably 90% of the displace wearing Nirvana tee-shirts.
