Kermicheo Kermit awesome avatar man

He is seriously sarcasticly serious.

He's a true enigma. Danzig I understand but Rollins I can't pin point in my being. I get why he's the way he is and how he can be but I can't get him down at the same time.

it's because he's handsome, that's it

Or if hes being an asshole or not lmfaooo

Black flag is a huge influence on a lot of bands.

kurt apparently was considering getting a black flag tattoo at one time

More like one album of theirs was an influence. They weren't really into early Black Flag...at least it doesn't show in the sound.

@@amixofeverything Kurt loved my war and damage

@@amixofeverything Which album? I would have said the early BF was the stuff that might have influence, the punk stuff (First 4 Years, Damaged). Song like "territorial pissings" and "breed" have similarities to that stuff, though a lot of Nirvana is more melodic than any BF. Later BF? Way too weird, atonal, and random to be be similar to Nirvana, at least in general. Melvins influenced by BF? That's easy to see.

expectador Wow so much revealed trauma in one short sentence

i wish rollins was my dad

a n t i m a t e r i a haha indeed. At least you would be able to do smack and stay out with thugs committing crime until 4am on school nights. So cool

@@Emcfree2084 Rollins has never been into drugs or drinking.

@@matthewbrenneman5139 I didn't say he did, but I am sure any poor bstrd who had him as an absent father likely might. Then again probably better to have an absent father than one who murders his friend in cold blood and then blames it on "black people"

I'm turning my mind off.

The i cant breathe part takes a whole new meaning as of recently

Jon Focker damm right ! Life was harder music was better .people were real .I feel its are job now to share it with are kids the next fucked up generation .so it's not lost to all the bubblegum fake crap we are force fed

Without the internet you wouldn't be able to make this comment so stop being pretentious

@@briangrendahl4635 so you think we should not be able to listen to rap or whatever and shive shit down our throat because you like it? I can find this music my own way and guess what I found stuff like Black Flag where? ON FUCKING KZfaq!!! Stop trying to act like my generation is such a fucking disgrace your generation made my generation asshole and the generation before yours thought your generation was a fucking disaster aswell. You should learn to be smarter than a kid in the "FUCKED UP GENERATION"🖕

I would be able to make comments .you see beyond the mini blinds on the other side of that protective glass window .that's called the real world .I can go outside and say what ever i want to whom ever i want .with out a phone ,computer ,or internet you fucking whiny little prick

@@gunny2653 Shut up mouthbreathing pleb. This guy is a boomer but you really are making yourself look stupid

Circle of life, my friend. We are now primed (2019) for the next wave.

Hambone Jones Only reason I know that character is because of David Letterman... Despite being in my 20s..Well mid 20s..24 T. T Max is a veryold character though. ..

tsohgallik He’s not that old...

Jon Focker There were tv shows and some of them were bad. They just weren't as remotely bad as they are now.

Jon Focker *brain-steering

+Jon Focker yeah , imagine that. it went from music, to crapshit, gameshows and rap shit to just now being total trash sheople social engineering

Vox Populi it sucks to see all the engineering. very cut and dry once u learn the patters. like all the disney and nickolodean "stars" that magically became skumbags to lead their fans to ruin. like miley, britney, demi, beiber, taylor momsen, aguilara, beyonce, katy, minaj......every single star turns out trash for the masses to consume. blacks get hoooooorrible meaningless hip hop and shitty role models. no more r&b, no more marley, no ray charles. no nwa, no tupac. john legend is good but only to make people feel good but its still empty to me. record labels systematically push out their poison. once an artist signs a contract the game is on. they lose their control instantly. punk scene is ignored. meaningful music is ignored. i mostly like instrumental stuff now like ambient, prog, weird stuff. ozric tentacles, check them out.

Ambient? Prog? interesting. never heard of thos, i should check them out? Im pretyy much a rock only guy. but a very wide spectrum of all kinds of rock. Everything from PANTERA , to U2, or INXS, Janes Addiction, PSY-COM, all sorts of stuff. Even the cranberries. Will i be interested in the music you mentioned perhaps? Oh just in case u never heard this you need to...Check out Fugazi....Waiting room

True that! We really don't need a music industry of corporate labels now that there's social media sites everywhere & hopefully it will starve out the "music biz" to separate the musicians & artists from the ppl who are only in it for the money! The idea of "mainstream" is that it consists of music that sells the most & reaches the largest audience available-its target demographic of preteens & teens who buy the most posters, t-shirts, paraphernalia, etc. of any other demographic. It also consists of the radio stations & TV channels that give the bands/artists the airplay-it's not like just any band can walk in & say "hey, can you play our song/video? We're independent, but we made our own CD!", unless they happen to have some connections that can get them on, otherwise everything is pretty much preprogrammed fodder being plugged by the major labels to sell their signed bands music-basically it's advertising! It's also why a lot of ppl feel like they're being force fed crappy music when they hear it everywhere they go! Sure, they can wear earplugs/headphones, but it doesn't always work! I'm hoping that more & more ppl will start searching for better music rather than just buy what has the best distribution & can be found at every store-not every independent band has that kind of distribution! Hopefully someday they can, but for now it has to be special order, unless they use iTunes or bandcamp or something! RocknRoll!

+cjaygrove MOST hipster music SUCKS though. most modern day alternative rock or bands that get called alternative SUCK.

Nah, they sucked at their instruments, but had the creativity and forward-thinking ideas to distinguish themselves from their contemporaries.

+Jay Mazella they most certainly didn't "suck" at their instruments just because the technical ability isn't hindrix level dosen't mean its easy to do.

+FLORIDA From a theory perspective, they were below average skill-wise; playing simple power-chords to a 4/4 beat is objectively easy for any musician. Also, Jimi Hendrix wasn't that technically skilled, it's weird that you'd use him as an example of advanced musical technicality when he's renowned for his creativity/showmanship than anything else.

Its not easy. I meet so many people like you who think playing 3 or 4 chords and a basic rock beat is nothing , you need to really feel the chords and the beat. Yeah you can play smells like teen spirit if a computer was monitoring what you were playing but to play it right its a whole other dimension it takes years to be able to play a song that good, most musicians think that can play 4 chords until you tell them to do it for 3 minutes alot of them won't be able to do it, literally i see it everyday working in studios and live sound. Also hendrix is hard to play again he's no tommy emmanual or whatever but if you can't understand that its more than whats written on paper and im not talking about creativity its when someone is playing and they are genuine they have a personality with the chords thats the real challenge not how fucking fast can you play or how complicated it can be , to make the songs you own is the most difficult thing to do.

+FLORIDA From what I can ascertain, you're conflating creativity with technical complexity. Being able to make simple power-chords interesting is a display of (yes, I agree with you), personality and ability to bring ones own flavour to the instrument and the song as a whole; however, when I talk about "complex", I'm not referring to playing fast or showing off, I mean playing odd-meters, syncopation, extended riffs ect- things common in Progressive music and Jazz. TL;DR : Nirvana weren't very skilled, but they were very comfortable with their instruments, hence why their music gelled so well.

I think there is still lots of music that reflects what is happening today but you certainly won't find it in mainstream music.

No shit. Same old sad sap story.

Did you just cut-n-paste a term paper for music class?

Moozle Yak yeah duck 🦆 reading all that shit.

Alot of what you said was true and I agree, but as a kid during that era I saw a few things you missed. I was born in 1975, the last of the pre-internet generations. GenX. What killed Rock n Roll was a dominoe effect... First came CDs, then digital trading, then the internet, then Carson Dailey and Total Request Live, then NAPSTER, then social media, then the end of "Xtreme sports." CDs CDs are great. What an idea, no more rewinding or fast forwarding. I remember saying that to all my friends. Too bad they were $12-20 each, LoL. We could only buy like one a month. We still had cassettes until the mid90's. Digital trading. We used to make mix tapes and trade with each other. What harm could digital trading do? The internet. WoW, I just made a friend from England and Germany in a chat room, and now I can trade for all those imports that I could never get because they are like 50 bucks a pop. Cool! Carson freakin Dailey and Total Request Live. Total Request Live was a TV show on MTV where kids could call in and request songs. The catch was; you had to pay by the minute to call in, so only rich kids could call in. This is when we went from Soundgarden, Faith no More, Smashing Pumpkins and NiN; to Spice Girls, NSync, Brittany Spears and Christina Aguilera. NAPSTER. Free illegal online trading site. If bands don't get paid, they don't make money and they aren't a band anymore. Period. This killed so many up and coming bands and bands that were already established. The only bands who benefited from it were the ones who had about 2-3 years or albums behind them. Blink 182, Rage Against the Machine, Kid Rock, ect... Social media. MySpace, awesome, loved it. The only thing wrong was that it made it acceptable to bootleg bands music. Even the bands didn't care because they so desperately wanted to get heard and signed. They didn't get paid though, and as I said earlier; no pay, no money, no band. I love KZfaq, but it has made an already image laden industry into that even more. Now a group can start a KZfaq channel, never tour, get liked and subscribed, get a record deal and become a megastar; Justin Bieber, Lady Gaga, Sia, ect... The end of "Xtreme sports." As a Skater and BMX punk kid from the 80's and 90's, I always hated that they called it "Xtreme sports." Skateboarding is not a crime and it definitely ain't no sport. At the skateparks there was always music. Loud music, angry music, obnoxious music, NEW MUSIC. No other era had a more loyal fanbase than this. From the beginning of Bones Brigade to the last Tony Hawk's Pro Skater video game, these are the last of the real music fans. IMHO, the greatest music came from 1967-2007 with the peak being 1987-1997. We had some valleys with Disco, Boy Bands, Glam Metal, 70's mellowyellowpop, 80's cokepop, 90's altpop and the Kid Star revolution of the eary 2000's; but there were so many mountain tops to be proud of with Pink Floyd, Sabbath, Zeppelin, The Stones, Beatles, the punk movement, metallica, the cure, U2, Elton John, Queen, Jimi, Janice, Nirvana, lollapalooza, Mike Patton, Run DMC, Biggie, NWA, Stevie Ray Vaughn, Selena, the Highwaymen, Soundgarden, The Midnight Special, SNL live performances, Austin City Limits, SXSW, the Forrest Gump and the Crow soundtracks, ect... I sometimes wish I was born 10-12 years sooner, so I could have seen more of the 70's.

Josaphina...?

Yeah, 120 Minutes was the only place you would see a Gene Loves Jezebel music video.

What's wrong with Rap?

rap is good actually

IS THIS THE FACE OF PLATINUM SALES

no

That is debatable, but Rollins certainly has had an interesting career.

Listen to the song Negative Creep and try to tell me that it’s pop.

Emi_97 Dijo que eran una buena banda mejor que las que muestran en mtv y que su musica era honesta :)

El Padrino Muchas gracias amigo!

Emi_97 De nada wey Nirvana es lo maximo!

HappilyWithMonotony I think Creed came around a bit later, but you're absolutely right. Once the record labels started trying to artificially produce the sound that caught on in the early part of the decade, alternative music's turn in the "mainstream" was done.

creed was horrible

Yep you hit the nail on the head. Once the mainstream music industry capitalises on a scene and starts churning it out artificially, the soul of the music is removed and the scene eventually dies.

Yes I also noticed that reference at 2:33

illuvatar27 He looks like a High School bathroom wall.
