There will never be another Nirvana… ever, not since the Beatles did a band have so much influence, not only on the entire music industry, but also on civilisation in general, people from all walks of life could relate to Cobains songs, and that doesn’t happen everyday…. oh, and if one more person mentions heroin or suicide I’m gonna scream, the herion was to lessen the chronic stomach pains that plagued Kurt since a child… and suicide, pfft, well thats just impossible, dead men don’t pull triggers and they certainly don’t wipe fingerprints off the weapon

There will never be a another NIRVANA. No band will change music and take it over as quick as NIRVANA.

Ther will never, I repeat, NEVER be another Nirvana. Period. Okay no period, but no one will ever have the talent, the potential, the WHATEVER you want to call it that Kurt had. No matter how great Panic! may be, or any of those other bands you see on MTV are, no band beats Nirvana. Nirvana changed the course (sp?) of rock music.
mark in nyc: “In today’s musical climate – if Kurt WERE alive today – Nirvana’s music would have faded away, replaced on the charts by cheap crapola ripoffs like Nickelback.
Lest we not forget who these cheap imitators got their influence from.
It was the genius of Kurt Cobain.”
I couldn’t have said it better myself.

Ok, regarding what I said before about Whitney’s blog entries being funny, that was really out of place in an entry about Nirvana. Sorry. I should have posted that somewhere else.

There was a another Nirvana. There was a band in the 60s named Nirvana. The memebers of this band acutally sued the band for using there name. Go to amazon or allmusic.com and type in Nirvana Uk to find out.

Maybe I’m just in a really good mood, but:
1. Gina, here here. Well said.
2. Whitney Pastorek, glad to see them giving you some more work at EW.com! Your blog entries are so funny and thought-provoking.

I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again–there will never be another Nirvana if the record industry has anything to say about it. Suicidal heroin addicts are just not a sound investment (and I am not even trying to be funny).
But there will be plenty more pre-packaged boy bands as soon as the next generation of squealing tween girls is identified by youth marketers.

I agree with you that all of these anniversaries are a little much. And I am not a fan of Panic! at the Disco, but after reading Ryan Ross’s entire quote, what he said is not as outrageous as your post would suggest:
“I remember seeing the video for ‘Teen Spirit’on MTV. I was like 11, and honestly, I felt like I was a little too young to be watching it, because it kind of scared me. But now I see why it was so popular, because it just flew in the face of everything else that was happening at the time. And in that sense, I don’t think it’s impossible that we’ll see another Nirvana in our lifetime. [Panic] were doing something different, and we’ve sort of sparked something in people. And I think a band like [Seattle quartet and Panic's labelmates] Forgive Durden could be the next really big thing. Their record has a lot of things that I wish our record has, and I would love for them to get huge.”
I think he’s only suggesting that there may be artists that come along with music that’s different from everything else at the time and that people will really love it and other artists will be influenced by it. And he’s probably right, because music, like everything else, is influenced by trends. But will the arrival of such a new artist ever be as big as when Nirvana emerged on the scene, or have the same lasting effect on people’s lives? In my opinion, it hasn’t happened since Nirvana, and none of us can know for sure if it will ever happen again. But Nirvana is not the only group throughout the history of music to cause such a revolution. Beatlemania, anyone? And I don’t think that Ryan Ross was trying to say that Panic! is about to have the same impact on music and people’s lives that Nirvana did. He’s just saying he thinks they have a different sound that people seem to take a liking to.
