Let's talk about music

The one thing that surprised me about the show was no "Teen Spirit". Found out later that it was because Kurt couldn't remember how to play the solo.

lolwut.

here's the closest thing I can find to it.

David Fricke: Along with everything else that went wrong onstage tonight, you left without playing "Smells Like Teen Spirit." Why?

Kurt Cobain: That would have been the icing on the cake [smiles grimly]. That would have made everything twice as worse. I don’t even remember the guitar solo on "Teen Spirit" It would take me five minutes to sit in the catering room and learn the solo. But I'm not interested in that kind of stuff. I don’t know if that’s so lazy that I don’t care anymore or what. I still like playing "Teen Spirit," but it’s almost an embarrassment to play it.

So is he saying that he could play it if he wanted to, but was too lazy to re-learn it?

[Gaucho]

I could see him just being fed up with Teen Spirit.

[the wicked child]

I just found it funny that he could forget a solo that uses like what 5 notes?

[Gaucho]

Ha, I never believed it anyway.

[skullman80]

I didn't even know there was a solo in Teen spirit?

I think he was in some way disgusted with that song and the success it brought to them. He was obviously not in the music business to be rich and famous. Much like that video I posted on Random Songs of Chumbawamba mocking their success by wearing "One Hit Wonder", etc emblazoned on their shirts while playing their hit song on The Tonight Show. Some on here might not understand it but there are many that don't want fame and fortune and I believe he was clearly one of those people.

[Gaucho]

Yes.

[eddysnake]

Who came first, moby grape or buffalo Springfield?

Poor knowledge of why The Birthday Party broke up.

My girl Brandi Carlile said, "I truly believe Ray LaMontagne is the voice of our generation." Not sure about that, but I like listening to Ray also. You should check out BC's cover of "Burn" -- amazing.

[Gaucho]

the last big record they did that had anything good on it was Some Girls, and that was 35 years ago

[columbia]

Yes, your comment reminded me to post this.

[Gaucho]

Good read, btw. Made me immediately listen to Zen Arcade again. So good.

I'll check that out. I'm a little biased towards Ray as "you are the best thing" was our first dance at our wedding.

One Hot Minute is a vastly underated album. Dave Navaro got a good album out of the Chili Peppers.

[viva la ben]

Lol One Hot Minute was where they blew it.
I was a fan of the Hillel Slovak era RHCP.

[FreeCandy44]

I disagree

The video volume controls on the BBC website go to 11.
Hmmmm.......

[Gaucho]

John Bonham and Ginger Baker are overrated at what?

Lady Gaga, through no fault of her own, has no chance in hell to be more loved and remembered than Madonna.

[Gaucho]

Oh, you said Ginger Baker is underrated. Sorry.

Thom Yorke from Radiohead is like that about "Creep". He called it a 'fridge buzz', meaning little more than background noise. But he understands that fans want to hear it live. So they play it..... he just refuses to sing it. Which seems dooshy.

(That was 10-12 years ago, he might be alright with it now)

[Gaucho]

Meh. Radiohead.
