Nirvana made one of my all time favourite albums ever: MTV unplugged in New York. Such an excellent album.

Hehe.. I never noticed how cool 'School'' was before the Fear Factory cover

Well, Nirvana's Bleach includes some song that's are so cool if they're performed in a heavier way. Beside Fear Factory's cover of School, there's also a cover of Negative Creep done by Machine Head, and that's cool in my opinion too.
Anyway Bleach is totally a Metal album in my view..

Where does this misconcetion come from? That they killed off metal. All grunge did was kill that atrocity called glam/hair metal.

And as far as I remember... Metal that was more well known [like thrash] wasn't doing very well in the 90s in the first place, you can't blame another [and completely different] genre for that : .

Exactly you can't blame another genre (in this case grunge, which btw had lots of metal in its sound) for the demise ofa large part of metal. Thrash was getting stale cause most bands had lost their anger and bite. Glam/hair metal had become even more ridiculous than it already was. But at the oppostie side of the spectrum Death metal was huge back then. The popularity death metal had reached by that point hasn't been matched since.

I'm not sure why people think that either. Grunge rushed into the mainstream light, something that Thrash and Death metal (ideally) despised. Though I wasn't old enough to remember stuff like that at the time I can't imagine that Nirvana made metalheads turn in their Entombed shirts for a Soundgarden one.

In my humble opinion, Fuck Nirvana and any band that sounds like Nirvana...

I read this somewhere, it would be nice if you read it too..

Don't go bashing bands (or any other subject for that matter) you don't like unless you really have something of worth to say.
Replying with a phrase like "it sucks" without backing it up with some argument is totally useless and will only offend people.

Nirvana are largely overrated, in my opinion, I prefer Soundgarden, Alice in Chains and Audioslave over them. That and the many Kurt Cobain conspiracies.

Well, I was/am a metalhead that actually liked Nirvana, Soundgarden, and especially Alice In Chains. (Never liked Pearl Jam though!) But still loved Entombed, death metal, and all the metal stuff I liked before grunge appeared. I think its totally ludicrous that anyone would think you have to ''turn in your metal shirt'', in order to start liking grunge. As for grunge ''killing'' metal, thats just a ludicrous suggestion. I guess it must have risen back from the dead then! lol I was still buying albums by Testament, Overkill, etc at a time when most people assumed metal was dead, or at least thrash was. No, it was never dead, it just got pushed underground, thats all. Bands like Overkill and Testament could never have survived that era if they didnt still have a substantial (if reduced) fan base still buying their albums.

don't know Mother Love Bone, do you know that the vocals of Temple Of The Dog is Chris(vocals)from soundgarden and the backing vocals is the Pearl Jam's vocalist

Of course I know I have the original cd. The Pearl jam guy does the back up and only does a couple of co-lead vocals on two or three tracks. The rest is purely alll Cornell. Who is btw a much much much better vocalist than Eddie Vedder

Can't say I've ever really heard a grunge band I dislike. Something about the style instantly reminds me of my younger days. Even Pearl Jam has managed to regain a decent amount of respect again with their last two albums. Which is nice. </irrelevant to thread>

A passionate despiser is always an asset for a band.

*Long list of covers that would take up to much space*

I coulnd't find the Type O Negative or Marilyn Manson cover on youtube. Ill Nino's cover was awesome, and The Melvins cover sounded almost identical to the original, only with inferior vocals. Do you know of any metal band covering In Bloom? That's by far my favorite Nirvana song.

The Type O Negative cover was awesome, I really love what they did with the song, so you need to check it, The MM cover sucked IMO, about "In Bloom" Tallywood Strings coverd it without a vocals, just a symphonic orchestra song, and Papa Roach covered either "In Bloom" or "Lithium" am not quite sure, but it wasn't good as I remember.

PS: I didn't get any notification that you quoted me here.

Love Nirvana, my second favorite grunge band after Alice in Chains. Probably the heaviest and noisest band to reach their level of success, but they've got a great sense of melody as well.

Alice in Chains was heavyer, most metal from all Grunge

Alice in Chains were more "metal" but they certainly weren't heavier.

Jesus H Christ all of you youngsters are clearly DEAF

I'm not saying that Nirvana is the heaviest grunge band, just they are the heaviest band to reach their level of success, which is significantly more than the other grunge bands because they've had more lasting popularity. However, while I agree in general Soundgarden is heavier than Nirvana, the heaviest thing I've heard from Nirvana is heavier than the heaviest thing I've heard from Soundgarden. Then again I'm a lot more familiar with Nirvana's discography than Soundgarden's.

I guess Alice in Chains and Tad are not grunge bands?

Btw, death metal killed metal. At least traditional metal and thrash (which was dead anyway by 1992). The dedicated airwaves were only playing death; hard rock and trad metal were simply no longer requested (or ignored if requested). Not that I'm judging or lamenting of anything, it's just how I remember it. Make of it what you will.

Remember getting Nevermind on audio cassette not long after it came out, then seeing them play at the ANU Bar in Canberra in February 1992. It was a wild and chaotic night and a great show. I was only 18 then and just really enjoyed the night and the music and have great memories of it. I still think that Nevermind is one of my favourite albums of all time. Just the raw energy and simplicity of it makes me want to get up and mosh out.
