Oasis frontman Liam Gallagher is no stranger to controvery, this time having a pop at late Nirvana singer Kurt Cobain. The outspoken Oasis singer insists he "didn't give a shit" when the Nirvana frontman tragically committed suicide in 1994, and brands the 90's grunge icon a "gearhead". Speaking with Q Magazine Liam said: "We were doing some gig when we heard Our Kid dedicated a song to him. Didn't give a shit myself. "Smackhead, man. Not my problem. Couple of good tunes, but other than that, a gearhead." stereoboard I agree with Liam. |

"What pisses me off now though is when you see 14yr old kids with greasy hair wearing Nirvana hoodies cos "he's like, dead man." " hey everyone needs an idol, or someone to look up to, no one here would make fun of me for saying Noel is the reason i first picked up an acoustic guitar, if they love nirvana's music, then that's great p.s. Heart Shaped Box is my favorite nirvana song, hands down, thinking back to 1994 it's definitely the number 1 song that sticks out in my head, sorry its not Live Forever... MTV didnt play Live Forever non-stop like heart shaped box yes... I agree. my fav nirvana song hands down "IN BLOOM !" one of the few music videos that I fucking enjoy... they stand there and play like crazy ! |

Kurt did like being famous. The whole anti-corporate thing was just an act. He'd get tapes of his interviews and watch 'em like any egotistical celebrity would. Killed himself cuz he can't handle his drugs. Oh well. Cry me a river.

Well, actually, I think Kurt was pretty stupid going on about "I hate myself and I want to die" all the time. He killed himself, fair enough, thanks for all the music you left us and good night, you depressive vagina.
He wrote a lot of great songs, and he had the best screaming voice in rock, but as a person he was just stupid.

Kurt gave all every night and never let the fans down... Liam sometimes does gigs half ass and many times let the fans down... historically Nirvana and Kurt always be higher than Oasis and Liam no matter what... Plus if Kurt heard what Liam said he said he's not being real with himself and he's trying make a name for himself.. Most likely also he would say make your own mark in music not trying saying you're better than someone or copy others.... Not in those words, but after reading and being a fan of Nirvana.. I know Kurt think Liam is ridiculous..Though Kurt would like Noel pretty well... |

Hmm, I think Kurt let quite a few people down when he put a shotgun to his mouth. |

I know Kurt think Liam is ridiculous..Though Kurt would like Noel pretty well... Because Liam walked of a few gigs doesn't make him a bad front man and Kurt a better singer. They are pretty much the same to me actually, except that when I were watching Nirvana I got this sad feeling, you just felt that one day he was going to kill himself, the same feeling I had with Alice In Chains. Kurt was not about a laugh, a few drinks and some sniffs, Liam is more like that, he just loves to get wasted. And for the record I think Kurt cared even less for his fans, otherwise he wouldn;t killed himself. |

And for the record I think Kurt cared even less for his fans, otherwise he wouldn;t killed himself. Well.... kurt is more musically sound than Liam and they're just different people really... Kurt would never try compare himself to Elvis nor John Lennon.. Don't get me wrong Kurt was biggest John Lennon fan, but he was inspired by him not try emulate him.. Of course Kurt wasn't your party frontman.. he wasn't like that... but if you want to break all down historically Kurt is way higher than Liam... It doesn't matter what side of the world either... Interview of Kurt in Rio 93' I Suggest people download and watch it... Kurt talked about british music and what he said was true... Little know it was Liam and Oasis were the people. |

Oasis changed popular culture in the UK, Nirvana didnt. Nirvana did the same in North America and Blink 182 is more popular and known here than Oasis... Most in the states either say they had that one great song cannon ball or confuse them with Blur.. |

Nirvana are shite, simple as that. They had one big album and that was Nevermind. Personally, I don't think it's very good.

Well, I don't think one can talk about the 90's and forget about Nirvana (and Oasis, and Guns N' Roses). Oasis was definitely the most popular in the UK, but Nirvana also sold over 50 million albums worldwide (and Guns N' Roses over 80 million). |

Im not saying Nirvana would be forgotten, they were a popular band here, of course they were, but Oasis changed youth/popular culture here. And I dont just mean musically - clothes, haircuts, even they way kids began to talk. Nirvana were just another band at the end of the day. |

G N' R was part of 80's cough up hair ball band.. They didn't made any movements in music.. They're most overrated and most discusting bands in music history... |

That's the UK, but in US Nirvana did the same and no band made any impact here since. |

Yes, but people know music understands both impacts both bands made on each side of the pond. Should respect it and Noel even said this DM wouldn't been what it is without influnce of Cobain... |

It's interesting that you should champion Guns n Roses as well, one of Nirvana's biggest achievements was kicking out the hair-rock shite over-night. Nirvana hated Guns n Roses, Van Halen and such like. |
