I think you're right on that one, Ron. I think they figured out that one on their own - and even though Ten and Vs sold better than all the rest, are they really THAT commercial?
I read somewhere that Cobain was a hypocrite himself where deep down he wanted to make hits - just in his own way.
I think Nirvana released two, fantasitic, five-star albums. They are both classics and are/were definitely influential, both musically and commercially. I cannot knock them one bit. However, I appreciate your comments, Ed, about Cobain's inability to be a good father...hey, maybe it was THAT disappointment in himself that truly led to his demise.
I won't even get started on Courtney Love - at least as a human being - although some of Hole's music did rock - if only because it was heavily influenced by Cobain, and later Billy Corgan.
Kurt is one of the most controversial character on the scene for sure.
he never searched for a "hit" even though he put some little "pop" ingredients .. mostly the sound was rounded post production, both for Nevermind and In Utero, when he got sick of all the attempt od imposition after the conclusion of the recording. Butch Vig production and mix are much more rough than the final result. same thing for In Utero maybe even more .. and the live versions testisfy that.
...that truly led to his demise.
.. if things went in that official way for real ...
ok ok i stop there's another topic where discuss and talk about Kurt (and Nirvana of course) hehe
