87Zeppelin Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 In light of recent bands coming back..i thought.. What would everyone think to a Nirvana reunion? I mean with Dave on drums, Krist on Bass, Pat Smear guitar.. AND ***** on vocals. I think ***** would be great if it was the crowd..how unique would that be? A whole tour of the crowd singing! Haha I know its "frowned upon" normally the idea of a Nirvana reunion, but ive been a fan for years, and would love the chance to even see 80% of the band playing, just to be able to sing along and enjoy the music. Damn, one can dream i guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
King of the Hill People Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 eh, I can't really get excited about that. I think Dave's doing way too much cool stuff with the Foo Fighters. I've always wondered if Kurt hadn't died would we have the Foo Fighters? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Misty Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 nirvana without cobain???? can't see it. its not like what happened with Zep, Jason filling in for his dad was a beautiful homage to bonzo's leagcy, if you will Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jarlaxle 56 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 What would be the point? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheBulle Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 As much as I like Dave and think he's a nice guy, talented and all... Nirvana was Kurt. I personally wouldn't go to a Nirvana gig without him. What I loved about Nirvana was Kurt's voice, his screams etc. and his presence! He had an aura...charisma.

kaztor (slight return) Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 While I really think they made some good stuff (Incesticide is a great album, imo) I don't quite understand why everyone's so hot about this particular band... To me they're more like the 'opening act' to the greatness that's Foo Fighters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBadZep Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 I never thought the Foo Fighters were ever very good to begin with. I mean, I couldn't even get into the first album when I was convinced everything remotely related to Nirvana was gold. I spun that 90 times trying to force myself to like it. And what I heard from the new album on the radio just sounded embarrassing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wolfman Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Have Courtney step in for Kurt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KPinsidelight Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Dave & Krist wouldn't even consider b/c of the fact of Cobain's greedy widow/tramp would want 100% of the earnings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bonham Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Have Courtney step in for Kurt That would go down well in a Nirvana forum. :hysterical: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donteatpoop Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 No way. You would need someone on vocals, but I can't think of anyone with the right sound. 'Course, if DNA advancements continue, maybe we can just take some of Cobains brain matter off of the tool-shed wall and create a Kurt clone. A Kurt clone would do well in Kurts role.

redeyedrichard Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Weird Al on vocals. This thread is obviously taking the piss...but I found it funny. I mean, I guess Kurt could play, if they managed to fish his ashes out of the Wishkah that is!!! RIP Cobain. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jarlaxle 56 Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 Actually, Weird Al wouldn't be a bad choice. Anyone else heard Smells Like Nirvana? Well, we don't sound like Madonna Here we are now, we're Nirvana Sing distinctly? We don't wanna Buy our album, we're Nirvana A garage band from Seattle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jahfin Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I've always wondered if Kurt hadn't died would we have the Foo Fighters? I'm not sure when the Foo Fighters officially came into being but I remember hearing Eddie Vedder spin some early demos of theirs on Rockline one night when he did the first of a couple of broadcasts from a trailer in an undisclosed location somewhere near Seattle.

We don't wanna Buy our album, we're Nirvana A garage band from Seattle Which always reminds of Todd Snider's take on the whole Seattle/grunge thing of the early 90s: hey, hey, my, my rock and roll will never die hang your hair down in your eye you'll make a million dollars well i was in this band goin' nowhere fast we sent out demos but everybody passed so one day we finally took the plunge moved out to seattle to play some grunge washington state that is space needle eddie vedder mudhoney now to fit in fast we wear flannel shirts we turn our amps up until it hurts we've got bad attitudes and what's more when we play we stare straight down at the floor wowee pretty scary how pensive how totally alternative now to fit in on the seattle scene you've gotta do somethin' they ain't never seen so thinkin' up a gimmick one day we decided to be the only band that wouldn't play a note under any circumstances silence music's original alternative root's grunge well we spread the word through the underground that we were the hottest new thing in town the record guy came out to see us one day and just like always we didn't play it knocked him out he said he loved our work he said he loved our work but he wasn't sure if he could sell a record with nothing on it i said tell 'em we're from seattle he advanced us two and a half million dollars hey, hey, my, my rock and roll will never die hang your hair down in your eye you'll make a million dollars well they made us do a video but that wasn't tough 'cuz we just filmed ourselves smashin' stuff it was kinda weird 'cuz there was no music but mtv said they'd love to use it the kids went wild, the kids went nuts rolling stone gave us a five-star review said we played with guts we're scorin' chicks, takin' drugs then we got asked to play mtv unplugged you should have seen it we went right out there and refused to do acoustical versions of the electrical songs we had refused to record in the first place then we smashed our shit well we blew 'em away at the grammy's show by refusing to play and refusing to go and then just when we thought fame would last forever along come this band that wasn't even together now that's alternative now that's alternative to alternative i feel stupid and contagious well our band got dropped and that ain't funny 'cuz we're all hooked on drugs but we're outta money so the other day i called up the band i said boys i've taken all i can shave off your goatees pack the van we're goin' back to athens Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
