the reason cobain wrote simple, loud music


No, it couldn't be because of mediocre talent, could it?

only complex and difficult music and guitar work was worth listening to


When did I say that? I wasn't talking about complexity or difficulty. I was talking about good old heart and soul. Albert King wasn't the most complex guitarist who ever lived, in fact he was quite subtle. But every note he played was wringing with emotion and came from the heart.

I can respect what Nirvana did for the music scene. They got rid of the 'hair band' craze for one thing. But their music (in my opinion) just leaves much to be desired, artistically. Heck, I loved them when I was thirteen, but I grew out of that phase, thankfully. I discovered that there is much, much better music out there. And when you've tasted prime rib and sirloin, you're not eager to go back to hamburgers and hot dogs.

Again, just my opinion. Feel free to flame away.
