Nirvana

[MangoLicious]

Ok im a big fan of Nirvana and heard somewhere that they are planning on coming back with a new lead singer! Does anyone know if this is true! I would be so angry because it would be so disrespectful to Kurt Cobain and no way would the band be the same and as good as before! >;[ please relpy its URGENT!!! ; ) Thank you.

It shouldn't and probably wont happen

Theres lots of rumours flying around i took this from the 'Nirvana Fan Club'


After almost 20,000 votes, the latest NFC Poll finished with a very clear result: 80% of the voters did not fancy the idea of Nirvana reforming with a new lead singer. While expected, the choice to end Nirvana with Kurt Cobain's untimely death in 1994 is clearly supported by the vast majority of their fans.

I doubt it will happen. You cant replace some1 like Him... Same with Queen, Freddie Mercury can never be replaced.

Ok thanx so much guys, i really really really hope they dont, you know it would be nice for Nirvana to come back but no way with a lead singer. God i wish i went to one of Nirvana's gigs when Kurt was alive but i was only 2 ; ). Listenin to them now. Lol.

It's never going to happen.

Dave Grohl has obviously moved on - with Foo Fighters, and his various other projects, and Krist Novoselic has left the music industry altogether and works in politics.

It would never be Nirvana, it would be two guys who used to be in Nirvana, and someone else.

Why would Dave Grohl ever agree to it? I loved Nirvana back In the 90s, where they belong. The Foo Fighters are awesome and I would hate to see them side tracked in the name on nostalgia.

Does it pee anyone else off when they see 9 yr olds in Nirvana hoodies?

goodsoulette, good point with the hoodies, my younger stepbrother was the same,i made him listen to bleach with me one night and drilled into him kurts life story and what some of his songs mean,
why should they be deprived of listening to the best band of the time, i have a beatles t-shirt and hope their generation dont get peeved at me for wearing it. i am one of the few lucky ones to have seen nirvana at reading, my mate who was there with me had tickets to what would have been their last gig, when he shot himself, his mother sent the tickets back and had a refund, hate to think what they'd fetch on e-bay.
has anyone seen the film 'last days' loosely based around kurts final hours, what a load of *****

[Goodsoulette]

I have tickets for the gig at the Cardiff Arms Park. I refused to go to school when he shot himself.

Goodsoulette - I entirely appreciate why you feel the way you do about children wearing Nirvana clothing as a 'fashion' item, but really, we have to be mature enough to override our deep seated desire to keep our memories intact.

Welshwil makes a valid point - any generation gets annoyed when the next generation not only has its 'own' culture, but hi-jacks 'theirs' as well - that's the way the world turns. I was chatting to a couple at Milton Keynes at the Robbie show, and the guy was telling me he though �60.00 was a lot for a ticket, but it was his fierst ever live gig. I told him I paid �1.50 to say Bowie on the Ziggy tour in 1973, which i thought was a bit steep, but similarly worth it, and then felt about 197!!!!

Music, like all culture, evolves, and the white-heat intesnity of our teens discovering what makes our hearts beat faster is a heady, valuable, and fleeting time, and we must never deny others the right to enjoy thier time - even if they discover what their hoody logos mean a little later, it's not worth getting upset about.
