I'm a pretty big Elvis fan, have been since I was in primary school.

But Jovi64 is one of the most stupidest wankers I've ever had the displeasure of not meeting so I shall ignore his post and he can carry on listening to Bon frickin' Jovi.

I don't see that Nirvana had as big of an impact as you're saying. There have been MANY more bands far more successful and relevant than Nirvana. Cobain didn't destroy rock or heavy metal. All styles of music hit peaks and lows. He just happened to be the main man when that style hit it's low. As for killed it - No. There are more of the glam bands around still today than grunge bands. Grunge was a fast moving fad.

Michael Jackson is a legend. John Lennon is a legend. Elvis Presley is a legend. Kurt Cobain is not a legend.

danfan, you are intriguing. Sometimes you make some of the most thoughtful comments around here, and sometimes you simply appear to be a dumbass. Sorry to be so blunt!

I am not a fan of Kurt Cobain, the only Nirvana songs which I truly dig are covers of other bands, and I personally think they are highly overrated. Yet denying their magnitude, impact, and legacy would mean to close my eyes and lie to myself. You say there have been many more bands far more successful and relevant? Really? Name another band that was around for 5 years and had the same or even close to such an impact. I personally can't think of any.

You are saying that glam rock bands are more successful today. That's because the 80s have had a revival. And anyhow, other than Bon Jovi, I can't think of any band that would draw the same crowds as say Pearl Jam, so your statement is purely subjective and based on some kind of retarded hatred for a music style, which might not be the greatest ever, but it surely shook this world and I am personally glad it happened, without actually being a fan or even listening to any of those bands.

Well, as a matter of fact - yes, that is better. Don't talk about suicide like people that do it are a piece of shit. Because it just proves you're ignorant and have no idea. And it's people like you that make people even more suicidal.

Haha. Bullshit. Wether you like him or not, you can't deny he's a legend. It doesn't matter if you think he deserves the title or not - he is. I'm another one that think Elvis is as overrated as anything. But I'm also aware it would be completely dumb of me to say he's not a legend.

Elvis is a legend because he was well, Elvis. You have to put it in perspective. For the times, he was more glam, more sensual, more down and dirty if you will than any artist. An entire generation found a new way to express themselves because of Elvis. And you can't deny, the guy could sing. Would he be as much of a legend if he hadn't died tragically??? Yes, because he changed music forever.
A Band that had an impact as big as Nirvana??? Hmm... how bout a band with an impact bigger than Nirvana ever thought of...... The Beatles.

The question is if KC hadn't done himself in would he be the "icon" he is now to some??? My guess is no. He was a talented guy, he wrote and sang a type of music that at the time shook up the music world , something it desperately needed. Had he lived however< my guess is much like his Mrs, he would have made decisions that would have affected his "icon" status and made it something else.

Courtney Love is the best!
She reserved all rights to tell em how he should look and act like in the game. She signed an official contract. Now she sues the GH people for using Cobain in the game

It's a boring subject. Nobody was complaining over the last game when Ozzy Osbourne was singing Paramore songs and stuff?
