ACW Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Grohl. He can drum, play guitar, and sing. Plus, I like the Foos more than Nirvana Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeysc23 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Grohl. He can drum, play guitar, and sing.Plus, I like the Foos more than Nirvana Agreed. I don't think Cobain could come to close with all that Grohl has accomplished. To me Nirvana was always a quick hit that only really lasted because of how Cobain died not their actual music.

Kilmer17 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Ive tried to "get" Nirvana. But just dont. Great anthem in Smells Like Teen Spirit. But other than that, just some okay rock songs. The Foos are better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianforster Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Grohl is alternative rock. Nirvana, Foo Fighters, Queens of the Stone Age, he does some stuff with Tenacious D too. Cobain was talented but Grohl was the money member of Nirvana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Evil Genius Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Grohl has evolved since Cobain's death. Don't you think, if Cobain was still alive, Cobain would have progressed some too? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Da'uud Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 foo fighters is "safe" rock. They are doing nothing new... Nirvana came out in the 80's and basically invented a genre of music Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilmer17 Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Grohl has evolved since Cobain's death. Don't you think, if Cobain was still alive, Cobain would have progressed some too? Certainly possible. But since he didnt, we're left with radio stations playing average rock songs ad nauseum because he's now seen as some sort of musical genius. Also, there wasnt a whole lot of decent music being made in the early 90s to compare it to. Give me Soundgarden over Nirvana any day of the week.

Disco Dave Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Dave Grohl is talented but he makes teen pop songs. I never liked any band that Grohl was in except Nirvana. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just became the first to get it into the mass market based on ONE, albeit great, song. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everlong seems like the only song ever mentioned along with Foo, yet, they have so many songs equal to, or better than Everlong, IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SRBFan Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Gotta be Grohl. He's a composer. Cobain is decomposed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forehead Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Grohl, no question. He can sing better than Cobain could, he can drum, which I don't believe Cobain could do, and I'm not sure that Cobain was much of a guitar player either. And whether rock is safe or not, who cares? Foo Fighters make good music. Everlong, Learn to Fly, etc...plenty of good songs. Nirvana was an alright band, but I rarely listen to them anymore.

ZoEd Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 foo fighters is "safe" rock. They are doing nothing new... Nirvana came out in the 80's and basically invented a genre of music True, but Grohl was part of that invention. It's hard to tell how much of Nirvana was Grohl and how much of it was Cobain. With the success that Grohl has had I'd guess he was a big part of that invention, don't you think? Besides, the front man always get's the credit for success. Hence Cobains hype.

SteveFromYellowstone Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 I'm just not really into Foo or Grohl's voice. Give me Kurt's any day of the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Commander PK Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Grohl easily. He is a musician, and he is much more accomplished then I think Cobain ever would have been. Nirvana's first album, while great was what I believe to be little more than a flash in the pan. The album has not aged well, and sounds dated. Now Pearl Jam: Ten on the other hand. :point2sky Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Technically, yes I meant their 2nd album. Bleach was released nationally after Nevermind started selling if I remember. The record company's attempt to cash in on the flavor of the month.

brianforster Posted April 6, 2009 Share Posted April 6, 2009 Lets not forget Grohl had the courage to deal with whatever problems he had. And is enjoying a successful career because of it. I'm sorry but I am sick of glorifying people who kill themselves, its a selfish, spineless, and immature way to solve your problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
