Then it struck me about nirvana, and how much i used to love that band. it was unreal. It brings back memories, litreally like a whole new landscape of all these forgotten memories buried in the music. Im telling you i havent listened to this band in years. since i was about 16, and im 19 now. the more i listen the more nostalgic i feel. almost as if i had travelled back in time and just relived all those youthful and inquisitive moments of my life. Then it hit that these are the roots and chains that got me into the music i listen to now. The depth of how much i respect music, all because of one snot nosed teenaged audienced band! But looking back in retrospect, you just see things in a completely different light. The power chord driven, kurt cobain wailing lyrics always reminds me of my roots in terms of music. and roots are always important in giving you a sense of where you have come from. no matter how far youve travelled. youve walked down a spesific path. and that path is unique to all of us...I have to say, my present view on nirvana is that i think they are bloody overated! But we have to start somewhere....
In my case i guess its special for me that, no matter how much im not into them. i'll always have this undying respect for them as a band. as nirvana was the beginning of it all for me. It would be foolish not to respect them in my case :P
No matter how much you think they're overrated you'll always pay them tribute and in that case they have a special place in your musical heart - I know what you mean although I still like Kyuss lulz :P. It's the reason you picked up the guitar!
