The cover of "Teen Spirit"

[Beto Brasil]

the cover from Melvins is better than Teen Spirit original!!
course!!!

[Greenmushroom]

Was Beck supposed to do this song, but because of management problems they settled with Lief?

So it is written in the Booklet. I'd say the problem is that Beck converted to fukking Scientology and they are his management nowadays. Wouldn't surprise me if they don't want to be somewhat like connected to the Melvins

[JAWBONE BREAKINGMOUTH]

its just sad to see such hostility towards a friend. comeon, Kurt helped produce Houdini and they toured together in 94, so they had to at least be friends up until his death.  i think Buzz is just sad and angry at the wasting of a life.

It's just a shame that Buzz can't be more honest with himself and the audience. The Kurt bahsing is the one attribute of Buzz's that makes me cringe because he sounds like all these pathetic 'scenester' wankers who constantly feel the need to sound as 'underground' as possible. Although, what do I know? I'm not Buzz. Maybe he really does hate Kurt, but then again as you say, he let him help produce a record and toured alongside him...

exactly what do you do again?


HA!

CAN'T YOU SEE BUZZ'S BEING SARCASTIC???
Although, methinks he is not beeing sarcastic about junkies. He hates them

[Reverend Ebeneezer]

You pair of fools really underestimate my intelligence don't you? I fail to see the obviousness of Buzz's sarcasm when I've only ever read comments regarding his Kurt slating. Maybe if he was inclined to spout at every show, I would've heard the evidence from his mouth and be in a better position to judge. Your argument is therefore akin to saying that Hitler was only being sarcastic. Incidentally, Buzz showed Kurt how to shoot up, you twat. He may not be a full on junkie, but he's been there.

And Asterisk...is that really your best shot? You poor, sad fuck...

Fuck, you people can really be a bunch of myopic cunts when you're defending your idols can't you? I love Buzz, but he's not perfect. God, why do I bother...

[Mario Lemieux]

yeah, Buzz's comments very consistently give me that awkward feeling of embarrassment for him.   he always just says the opposite of what he "should" say regardless of whether it's rational or not.  some of his political quotes don't even make sense to me.  his music is smart, but I don't think he is!
occasionally, though, he's dead on and it's worth it...like the spending more money can help make a better album

it is hard to judge just based on quotes, but it's happened so many times.
i think it's safe to say cobain wasn't a bad musician.  he should be rewarded for doing something good for music and complaining is disrespectful.  it's also hard to judge his motives.  it seems he resents the nirvana association because it belittles his work...like nirvana made his career.  this is gonna get quoted like a mofo

also, if the SLTS cover is sarcastic, it is extremely dry sarcasm in my opinion.  why would they do such a good, powerful version if they didn't like it?  or do it at all? if they were planning on getting beck to do it, didn't they want to do it really good?  they made prick, why wouldn't they just make the shittiest dumbest version of the song ever heard?

my take is that they wanted to OUTdo nirvana's version to prove that it's not that hard.

also again, buzz likes elvis and furthermore, he's got respect for guys who left mainstream for "authenticity"  like Patton and Wes Borland
so maybe it's making a double point with the irony of garret and the overall craft of the song

[Vcavallo]

like Patton and Wes Borland

what did wes borland go on to do?  i always felt there was something about him that had potential but was being wasted in that band.  i like him and i don't know why....

[Mario Lemieux]

he did this unbelievably shitty Patton rip-off album..i mean, it was BAD it was like...I wrote it or something.   i can't remamber to well, but i think it was in the direction of mr. bungle, i don't remember, all i know is that it was bad.  i don't know what else he's done




side note:   someone mentioned Youth of America earlier.  i love that song, but i had no idea it was a cover.  who wrote the original??

[speaker fuzz]

im also a melvins fan through nirvana, ive been listening to them for years on songs 'cow' 'revolve' 'hooch' 'lizzy' and i really got into them when i heard night goat.....buzz is indeed not perfect as many other idols, weird how fans are driven to be purposely naive towards their idols..
