Some assorted Nirvana trivia, all true...

Nirvana were offered a Gibson endorsement, but Kurt couldn't find a Gibson he liked. [10]
I've almost always seen pictures of Kurt using Ernie Ball straps, in solid black or solid white [3]

Kurt claimed to use a Radio Shack burglar alarm [7] and Radio Shack speakers. [10] Its sounds like he's kidding, though you never know. He also claimed to use strings made out of piano wire, shipped in long boxes, as he couldn't find guitar wire thick enough for his taste. [7]

Hole's "Doll Parts" video has guitarist Eric Erlandson playing a left-handed Jaguar guitar (with neck position humbucker pickups) strung so a right-handed guitarist can play it. [11] It looks like Kurt's '66 Jaguar. Peter Buck plays a sonic blue lefty Jag-stang of Kurt's (upside-down) in the video for R.E.M.'s "What's the Frequency, Kenneth?" [16]

hmmm I dont agree on that one mate....

Mike patton is a great singer... forget Faith No More (that I think its good) but his other stuff as well.... he is great..

 

 

To be fair, I haven't heard his stuff since early FNM. I remember when "Epic" hit and was soooo played out on the radio - maybe I should see what he's been up to lately?

Dude, WTF? :freak:

You ever try to watch pro golf? Or pro fishing or even freakin' nascar? All way more boring than baseball. Don't even get me started on bowling.

What about all those damn pro poker tournaments? There is NOTHING more boring than watching a bunch of OCD card counters grind each other into dust. Makes me want to peel my eyeballs. :poke:

he's ventured pretty far since then... i don't know your tastes so i can't make a good reccommendation but my favorite are the Patton + Kaada album, the EP he did with the Dillinger Escape Plan, and the Fantomas records

Sonic Youth is a talentless bunch of hacks who can make barely listenable music in the studio but sound like a bunch of ass scratching chimps live. Musicians like them only because it makes them feel a little better about their own crappy music.

The singer from Tool had some ribs removed so he could bend over further and suck himself off. (See the cd insert to that one album.)
