His extended drum solo was flashy and impressive, but lacked groove/swing. Of course it would have been awesome to have Bill Ward up there, but all signs point to him being physically, mentally, and musically not up to the task.

Well, I didnīt mean the way he looks. I have heard he`s quite opposite of playing comparing Bill Ward & Brad Wilk. I have heard he has to put fills in every part of the song he just can (like really many heavy drummers do), so I think itīs quite awful playing when you compare it to the style of Wardīs.

uhh i'm not really into that type of music either. i still love Nirvana much more than the average rock fan though. i would take them over the Pixies anyday. some people seem to think i'm crazy for that.

of course i like them but Nirvana has a special place in my heart. perhaps nostalgia is a big part of it too. but i love their music, atittude, what they stood for (at least in my mind), everything. would still watch Kurt documentaries for hours.

@louder-

Same about Nirvana. They were the giants of our era, even if we're both probably a bit too young (I rarely get to use those words in reference to myself... that's the only reason I'm typing right now) to have had the full experience. The Pixies are, of course, classic. But compared to their own peers (Husker Du, REM, Dino) they have aged very poorly. Nirvana obliterates every band they were associated with in the 90s. And I get more of an emotional reaction from listening to Nirvana than I do from the Pixies. This is obviously because, while I may not still be a horny collegiate narcissist, taking black and white photos of things to show girls my depth ( for more on this read my entry in the Pixies thread ), I AM still TOTALLY pissed off about ALMOST every single aspect of existence.

So, fuck yeah Nirvana.

Nirvana only survived with grace because they didn't survive at all. Had Nirvana tried to make another album, it would have been the beginning of the end. Kurt may have bee able to start a career in a new band, clearly Dave moved on with Foo Fighters, but Nirvana was definitely at its high-water mark, Then Kurt died, and the Elvis effect kicked it. Bob Marley, Tupac, when artists who are already popular die in their prime, they not only become martyrs, they become almost Greek Titan heroes!! Nirvana is at that threshold, it is a trip to see my teenage students wearing Nirvana shirts, even the Seniors were born in 1996/97!!! They're listening to Nirvana like us 80s/90s kids were listening to Zeppelin, Floyd, and Sabbath, a FULL GENERATION REMOVED.

my neighbor said he saw Sabbath at the LA Memorial Sports Arena this week, and it was fucking epic, and this guy isn't a die-hard Sabbath fan or even that into metal. He said the sound was good, the stage show and production was even better, and the crowd feeling it. We're all just so glad Tony is still alive and well

No. Please done tell me I'm old enough to have my own version of Zep and Sanbath. Wow. Guess you're right though.

Nirvana kills them both.

Nirvana kills Sabbath? Ain't happening. Sabbath is everything Nirvana was an more. It is fun, yet serious. It is immensely popular, yet still has an underground feel. It is at the same time the most over-rated and yet conversely under-rated music. The band also appears for the most part to have ben sincerely having fun while making this music, it wasn't a burden.

I'd defend Zeppelin with similar zeal, but the truth is I don't like Zeppelin aside from III..
