This is my own little rock theory: In my mind, Nirvana slayed the hair bands. They shot the top off the poodles.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I never understood bands saying Nirvana had anything to do with derailing their career. Maybe those bands didn't have the goods.
Geez, I wish I could tell you I had a whole bunch of '80s hair bands, you know something you really wouldn't expect, but I don't know that the music police would be that surprised, because most of the stuff that I am influenced by is in evidence in the music.
Bands like Nirvana had theatrical sensibilities, playing with image, challenging assumptions people were making about them, the apex being Kurt Cobain in a dress to make a point.
If you take a band like Nirvana, their biggest hits are structurally the same as even a hair metal band's biggest hits. The structure's not different - the attitude was different. Except it really wasn't. It seemed a little more human.
We heard about people who went backstage at dog shows with scissors and cut parts of a poodle's hair off to sabotage the dog.
I'm a huge Nirvana fan.
We were perceived as a post-grunge band.
The band broke up because I couldn't bear Rotten anymore because he was an embarrassment with his silly hats and his, like, shabby, dirty, nasty looking appearance.
The Heads were the only band on that scene that had a groove.
I like Nirvana, but I couldn't say that I was influenced by them. I like to tell a story.
