Parsley Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 April 5th, 1994 (found dead the 8th)... As a teen and huge fan of Nirvana, this was a very tough tragedy to fully comprehend. I remember confusion, sorrow, anger and sadness that lasted for days. I remember playing all the Nirvana's CDs on my "boom box" over and over again as it was my way to cope. Such a major loss to not only the music world, but more importantly to his family/friends. He had a rough childhood and even with fame and admiration the mental stress he was under was too overwhelming. RIP Kurt.

Phil Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 His death was the first real major "shock" to my life. I was ten years old, and really starting to get into music. Nirvana, Alice in Chains, Metallica, etc. were all gateways for me. In a lot of ways, I'm glad I was probably too young for it to hit me as hard as it hit older fans who had more mature relationships with the band.

I was 15 at the time and luckily had very little death "around me" up to that point. Kurt and Nirvana were by far my favorite musicians at the time. Real tough couple of days.... So many great videos that can be posted in this thread, I don't even know where to begin. The unplugged set is just phenomenal. http://youtu.be/9pb8iLS18wo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyb Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 only reason i ever picked up a guitar was because of this man. did my senior project on him and basically wrote a research paper about his life, death, controversies, and theories. rest in power.

NYR2711 Posted April 7, 2014 Share Posted April 7, 2014 I still can't believe that it's 20 years already man. Such a terrible loss. I still listen to them all the time on my iPod. Their Unplugged performance is the greatest one MTV has ever had, no one will ever top that. I remember they were supposed to play Lolapolozza that summer and we were set to get tickets, so pissed I never got to see them live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
