like most bands they sold-out, in Nirvana's case it was for sanitary products:
-
- Mr. Tomlinson's feud started after members of the now-defunct Reddit site r/opieandanthony got his Twitter account suspended, causing him to threaten some bored trolls who never heard of him with a libel lawsuit. The trolls responded predictably.
- Mr. Tomlinson has been instructed many times by friends, family, police, and attorneys to stop engaging with his trolls, and that continuing to provoke them will cause him to be trolled even more. Mr. Tomlinson wilfully ignores this advice.
- He would eventually file a defamation suit against 60 anonymous people which was dismissed with Mr. Tomlinson being ordered to pay $34,762.25 for opposing parties' attorney fees.
- He ended up paying $83,736.99 due to his unsuccessful attempts to dodge the court-ordered judgement, for which he faced jail time and contempt charges.
- He also filed 2 frivolous restraining orders against people who had engaged in First Amendment-protected behavior (one for texting him and another for attending his contempt of court hearing), both of which were dismissed.
- Early on in the lawsuit, Mr. Tomlinson vandalized his own motorcycle and submitted a false police report blaming the people he was suing.
- He accidentally sent surveillance video of the alleged vandal to a troll. The individual in the video is very obviously Patrick S. Tomlinson.
- Mr. Tomlinson has never submitted this video footage during any of his many media tours, and desperately tries to scrub it from the internet.
- Mr. Tomlinson claims that the surveillance video was initiated by his "motion-activated" camera, which only collects "30 seconds at a time", despite the video being 32 seconds long and beginning several seconds before the "vandal" enters into the frame.
- On 13 April 2023, the individual responsible for calling the fake emergences (SWATs) to Mr. Tomlinson's house, a SWAT-for-hire dealer named "Torswats", revealed that Mr. Tomlinson ordered the SWATs to his own house because he wanted to get in the news and sue the MPD for money.
- Torswats would repeat these allegations in private chats which were not intended for public view.
- Mr. Tomlinson has gone on multiple news tours since the SWATtings started in order to promote his victimhood brand, utilizing the services of Lenora Claire.
- He also recently sued the MPD for money.
Where we at with the Nirvana?

Faggy image but some decent music. Unplugged in New York is legendary, especially Lake of Fire and All Apologies. Not much of a Foo Fighters fan but they have a couple good songs. I like Dave Grohl because he's one of the few who gives Rush and Neil Peart(rip) the respect they deserve as being one of the greatest bands ever.
I mostly agree. "Nevermind" has been overplayed to death but objectively speaking it was a damn fine record, as were their two other proper studio records. And their posthumous live disc was pretty goddamned noisy and, dare I say, "heavy". Cobain wasn't afraid to be noisy and abrasive in an obnoxious punk rock sort of way and I really respected that. One of their last tunes, "I Hate Myself And Want To Die" from the Beavis & Butthead soundtrack album was a wonderfully sludgy and sloppy piece of work that demonstrated how little they cared about "people pleasing".
IMO AIC may have been the most talented of those bands, but the heroin just ruined Staley, as evidenced by their somewhat lackluster third album. "Dirt" was the single most harrowing album from that entire scene, it's a masterpiece. I always liked Soundgarden too, although IMO they sometimes tried too hard to be "quirky", let's say. It's not a popular opinion but I always really liked STP too, IMO they were underrated and often unfairly judged. I was never real big on Pearl Jam, but it's not like I detest them or anything.
Kurt died, and then a year later Layne was an inoperable skeleton junkie. By ‘96 STP and Pearl Jam were no longer relevant except for maybe a hit once in a blue moon. Everyone else other than Chris Cornell from that point on were complete wannabe butt rockers. Its insane how such a great musical movement fizzled out completely in like 5 years time.

Waaah! I didn't want you to make it sound like that! Yes, I'll still make more albums exactly like it, but I'm going to tell all those kids buying the concert tickets, CDs and t-shirts that I'm not in it for money and fame. I'm an artist!
Cobain strikes me as a complete faggot.

I really liked them when I was 11/12 years old. Nevermind and In Utero were the first albums (CDs) I bought with my own earned money. Appetite For Destruction (tape) was the first album I was really into that I owned before that but my older brother bought it for me (cheapskate.)
Because of these circumstances, I will never be able to have an objective opinion about Nirvana or Guns 'n Roses. While I might be able to recognise that they are dated, gay and cringe, they're my dated, gay and cringe and so will always hold a special place in my guts.

Really enjoyed their music in my teens, although the older I've gotten the more I've started to feel they were a bit overrated. I think it's fair to say Nevermind was one of the best rock albums of the 90's and the Unplugged performance was fantastic. As others have said, I couldn't stand Cobain as a person. Just don't think their music has aged as well as others.
I agree, brotherman. Out of all the grunge albums Core is the one I go back to the most.
The first three STP records are really good, some of the fourth one too. Yeah, they were somewhat derivative, but so what?
"Dirt" is one really fucked-up album, the darkest record of that era by far. There have been a shitload of tunes and albums about the descent into heroin hell but "Dirt" is the most harrowing one of them all.
I love me some Nirvana. However I'm able to acknowledge what a complete fucking faggot selfish junky Kurt was. He'd go Out on stage and fuck up smells like teen spirit on purpose to really stick it to the hard working fans that payed to see him. Real nice. He left a daughter alone with a psychotic junky mom without a second thought. He was a damn good songwriter but I have zero respect or reverence towards him as a person.
Dirt by AiC resonated with me way more than Nevermind ever could. I saw them live in 09 with Duvall and he did a good job filling in. But nothing can match the strung out desperation of Laynes original vocals. Down in a Hole and Rain When I Die don't pack the same punch anymore.

STP is the only one of those bands that I love. The rest I would be ok with never hearing again.
Everyone loves fucking Rush, it's getting old. There are much better Canadian bands, namely April Wine, BTO, Guess Who, Triumph.
Foo Fighters are faggots and Dave Grohl is an evil piece of faggot shit
Dude could actually sing well(not that the screaming is bad). You can hear pieces of a normal voice on "Unplugged." Would have been interesting eventually hearing him sing some of that shit with a piano, going all Nilsson on everybody.
Call me crazy, but I like the Tripod album more. 'Frogs' is darker than anything from Dirt, except Angry Chair maybe.
Kill yourself. Seriously.
Yeah, the Tripod album is way darker. But I think Dirt is an overall better album. I love Sap and Jar of Flies EPs too. Fucking love AIC.
Have you brothermen listened to Mad Season? Layne's vocals are something else on that album. And I'm sure he wrote all the lyrics to those songs too. Good shit.
@P-Reddy What's wrong with "BLEACH?"
There are about 2 good songs on there.
