Merzbow Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I've never actually owned Nevermind for some reason or another, although my Father bought me Bleach on tape though and a 6ft Unplugged poster when i was around 13 due to me liking RATM (Parent logic) and i loved them. Â I soon got into heavier music though so that may be why i missed it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ulf ist Gut Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I got into Nirvana relatively late at 15/16 (26 now)and to be honest, after all the hype, I was a little underawed and I think that's followed me though to today. Don't get me wrong, I still own Bleach Nevermind and (probably my favourite) In Utero and will often dip into them every now and again but seldom for a whole album. I actually thought about sticking some on the other day, ummed and aah'd about which album and then decided what I really wanted to listen to was Alice In Chains and ended up sticking on Dirt end to end instead. I just find it a bit toothless for what it's meant to be compaired to the likes of Alice In Chains which seems to have a bit more bite, if you'll pardon the repeated dental references, to it if that makes sense. Â I guess Nirvana for me are really one of those bands that i'll happily bounce around to in a club or enjoy the odd song of if it comes on the radio or a playlist on my ipod but who I can't really sit down and listen to a whole album.

PC316 Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 Yea, they were a huge influence on me, even if I don't listen to them all that much these days. Whilst for a lot of people Nirvana seems to have led them to listen to more grunge bands, for me they opened the door to many of the punk bands I listen to today. I think they are one of those bands where their influence spans so far and as has been mentioned there aren't many people I know who haven't been a fan at some stage.

Seratonin Posted September 22, 2011 Share Posted September 22, 2011 I didn't mind Heart Shaped Box, but I think that was largely down to it giving me another tune to play in dropped D, before which I'd only had Ozzy's No More Tears (which is very screechy and very widdly). To be pedantic, HSB is Drop C# Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members FLips Posted September 22, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 22, 2011 Loved them when I was a moody teenager, but grew out of them. Pearl Jam are 10 times the band they were anyway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members SpiritOfTheForest Posted September 23, 2011 Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 Replace "Pearl Jam" with "Alice In Chains" and you'll be correct. By far the best grunge band. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Paid Members Egg Shen Posted September 23, 2011 Author Paid Members Share Posted September 23, 2011 See, the whole fringe thing completely passed me by despite being a Nirvana fan. Obviously the grunge boom was fizzling out when i really got into music but ny respect for that genre didn't really start until i purchased Pearl Jam's self titled record when that came out. Then i got into Alice In Chains, Soundgarden etc. I need to delve deeper into it though, theres gotta be so many great bands that just disappeared.

Alan Wrigglesworth Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Their infamous show at the Paramount is out on DVD tomorrow. It's meant to be the only proper Nirvana gig ever record. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got it on DVD earlier in the week. Good stuff. Don't know what you mean by "infamous" though? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
