- factorizer 14y agoalso the atrocious guitar playing and constant mumbling helped a lot in that department. but we digress. on the topic: i like comic sans. it looks friendly. there, i said it.
- PerryCox 14y ago> also the atrocious guitar playing You're joking right? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoiUpe7N3D0 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BoiUpe7N3D0
- factorizer 14y agoalright, i was (kinda) joking. but i don't think that the guitar playing was the unique selling value of nirvana. the song writing was stellar though.
- coldtea 14y agoReally? Heavy Metal fans were into cross dressing ever since the seventies. Including gay all-leather biker chic, long curly bubblegum hair and tights in the eighties...
- digitalengineer 14y agoOkay, I'm no expert on heave metal. Perhaps another kind of audience.
- laumars 14y agoI think him releasing accessible anthems that had widespread popular appeal did far more to isolate Navana from the core metal elitists than any styling choices Kurt may have made. Plus it's not as if metal bands were against 'glamming' up in the first place. In fact it became it's own sub-genre.
- epsylon 14y agoHeavy metal and grunge are two very different genres.
