Will there ever ben another band like Nirvana??

A lot of people consider them to be in the same class as the Beatles or even Bach. What do you think? What did they mean to music?

Check out this rare video of one of their best performances - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NN75im_us4k

probably not but it would be alright to see a decent grunge band ???

I think that a lot of people overrate Nirvana. :P

I mean, that was kind of the whole point of the matter - Kurt never wanted to be a "guitar hero", so to speak. So I can respect that. Kind of makes it ironic how much people tend to deify him now, though...

yes, and it wasnt funny.

2004's Greenday?

2001's Blink 182?

IMO Nirvana wasn't that big of a deal... lol

Dunno. Overall i think they are a tad bit overrated. But it would be nice to see another Nirvana-ish band. Especialy if they throw out something as great as Smells like teen Spirit

And that video is awsome lol :D
Guy that made that has got some skill. Solo part is major roflcopter

Bach

Bach

Bach

Eventually. There always seems to be a band that ushers in some kind of change when least expected. Maybe it'll take longer than we hope since radio is not a force anymore.

I think the OP Started this thread so people would watch the awesome video..yet no one did...

Of course, there will be room for another Grunge revival. It probably already exists in some form or another. It may not take the mainstream in the same way however. Nirvana happened to release the right album at the right time. It was a spring board to the others, but they were almost all on the cusp of breaking the mainstream, hence the short lived popularity of the genre.

The Beatles were very influential..Nirvana wasn't. There were "better" bands with a simliar sound. Anyways...Who knows? Linkin Park was similar to Nirvana back in 2000. Remember the Nu-Metal phase?

As much as I like Nirvana I can't put them in a class like The Beatles, they just don't have the body of work The Beatles do. Accordingly the same time I think comparing them is a bit unfair.

[QUOTE="Travo_basic"][QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"] Much of the reason for being short lived was the bands themselves didn't want to be marketed as is common business practice. Which gets them props from me. That is why the uninteresting post grunge genre was created. It's radio/business friendly. Unfortunately. Notice post grunge bands are not creative and tend to be formulaic.LJS9502_basic

A lot of people like to blown anything they identify with, completely out of proportion. They meant a lot to music, hence the documentaries revolving how they impacted music I think they gave more to music than they took, so i consider nirvana an overall positive contribution to modern musicBiancaDK

You have frengers In your signature :shock:

I love you :oops:

On topic, I don't think we'll be seeing bands like Nirvana hit it big again, the industry ain't what it use to be.

[QUOTE="Jamiemydearx3"]

[QUOTE="LJS9502_basic"]If you are using influence then your statement about Nirvana is incorrect. They did influence other bands. They also cracked the grunge genre to the mainstream which helped other grunge bands get notice. Some of which were very good bands. In fact, within the next decade we should see more bands that were influenced by grunge (and thus Nirvana in some cases) coming to notice. Right now we have the post punk 80's revival. The next generation will soon step up.

I like Nirvana, but only because of nostalgia. The Beatles had four talented band members, and everyone of them showed it. Especially after they broke up, while Nirvana was an overrated-mediocre band that got lucky. Dave continued to prove Nirvana was mediocre when he got the band Foo Fighters together. Where as when The Beatles broke up, each member created atleast one top notch album. You compared Nirvana to The Beatles..Being overrated. I can see where Nirvana being overrated comes from, but if someone thinks The Beatle's are overrated..They must not have heard any of their music past 1966, or are just biased in some shape. BUT that's just my opinion.

Jamiemydearx3

Your last sentence seems be the bias. If someone doesn't agree with they are wrong. The Beatles cultivated the influences of their day to change their music. But they didn't invent the genre.

Don't get me wrong...I enjoy some Beatles music....I just don't think they deserve all the hype.

I seriously hope not.

But then again if a band that is like Nirvana is created then I just wont listen to their songs.
