I grew up with your music Brent, but now listening to you, I have a whole new respect for you. How you felt about Nirvana, is how I feel about Shinedown. Just...don't die damn it. <3I hope to be saying the same thing one day.

Oh one more comment it can be one song, but if the guy is like Brent there every song that great, Also, number of songs selling 100 million not looking to debate I look for people that know than is one thing I love is more than I do, There are plenty like I met a guy last week and was a producer talked about Rolling Stones he took out every thing but K Richards and other guitar and I understood the heart of the band. tu

I am older than most of you folk, but in my old age I decided to see the best of were it was basketball, baseball, football, but in each, thing you find you seen the best, like baseball, when Maddox, then Randy Johnson at field level I could even dream of how the batter felt, boxing for good reason when from 15 to 12 round but I was younger could travel, see Ali and Joe fight. After the night I would see one other, Alice and seeing Lane sing, started looking for better singer, TU for any help.

I think he appreciates and understands what Kurt Cobain stood for and was about more than most people his/our age. But that's just me.

ok , reality ck.! kurt was a follower ! he admitted on camera (it's on a documentary, actually) their signature sound , fast -slow-fast-slow was a direct ripoff (following/borrowing ) of a band called the pixies , who never got the attention given nirvana ! as well as other seattle bands for song structure/lyric.. also, if u don't want money, don't take it, simple. oh right , then u can't be a tortured artist and blame others, for your actions. it's called accountability ! own ur experience !

You're right. It is selfish. But there are a lot of people out there that justify their decisions to themselves that they think it's fair for them to commit suicide. It's sad, but it happens. Watching the documentary about the last moments of Kurt: He broke out of an open rehab facility. When he could have just walked out the door, no questions. He was damaged. Some may say beyond therapy. It's sad, but it happens.

Good concept/mindset (as far as the anti-money thing), yes... does that justify suicide... no.... Suicide is the single, most selfish act a person can commit... yes, maybe he had issues... that's what therapy is for.... now he has a daughter growing up without her father around....

he was trying to say hey'! stop making money to rock 'n' roll . it's rock music it isn't pop or corporate business. he never wanted those money it's just making him sick that's why he's gone now.....

kurt was never been a follower of his own era., he hates being in that state in that moment he knows somewhere at somewhat , some point he's gonna end coz he has got to believe that being in the limelight is overrated and somehow he knew that it's just got to end and the history he made , he knew all of this that it's going to happen he just didn't want everyone to believe that he's smart enough to predict that what he created as an artist will become a legendary huge blow to rock industry .
