Kurt Cobain: 20 years on
Tomorrow april 5th marks 20 years since Kurt passed away.
What are peoples feelings towards his music, legacy, death, drugs and of course the father to francis beans??
For me the music sounds fresh as it did back then and the fact that nirvanas music still influences artists today is credit to kurts legacy.
I know the official version is suicide (not sure) so for kurt to leave his daughter behind must have been heartbreaking to do.
R.i.p. Kurt

As for the music, that will outlive us all. In Utero will still sound as fresh fifty years on as Revolver does now.
Other than that, he was a brilliant artist. Nirvana don't do it for me but i understand and can see the legacy he left.
I tend to find it's other people that do that, far more than Courtney herself.
I sometimes wonder what would have happened if he had lived. The pressure of fame was too much for him so I think he may have disbanded Nirvana, with Dave Grohl going on to do the Foo Fighters anyway, and Kurt would have built on the success of the MTV Unplugged session by going solo and doing low-key singer-songwriter stuff, possibly in the Mark Lanegan mould.
As for Kurt, the music still sounds fresh.
Nirvana was a band with unique character, energy, atmosphere and charm. One of those bands that simply stand out, if you know what I mean. Kurt was immensely talented, his death was tragic and a huge loss to the music world. It always hits me hard when I think about it
Given that Frances is 21 now, and had a restraining order granted against Courtney in 2009 on the grounds of domestic assault, I don't know how much Courtney has had to do with Frances growing up to be such a well-adjusted young woman (seemingly, of course). Kurt's sister and grandmother were appointed as her co-guardians.
Maybe everything that can be possibly said has been, time and time again.
I guess so for me the best artist that has ever lived, but theres a part of me is annoyed that hes no longer around making music.
Me too! Gutted about that gig.
Shame. I was lucky enough to see them at two Reading festivals.
They seem to be the last of the great rock/grunge bands. Today has been very mixed for me personally, tonight is kurt night from 9pm.
Finally decided to get a nirvana tattoo just gotta choose which one, i do fancy having having the lyric " I wish i was like you, easily amused" as i always say it to my baby daughter or the nirvana smiley.
Surprised more in the music forum haven't spoken.
Most would have seen it but their performance on the Johnathan Ross show always makes me chuckle.
Yeah, certainly no-one since has done what they did.
Pure raw energy and emotion, best live set i've seen and that says alot for some of the acts i've seen
