Get over it!
What is it with you people? Can't you just realize that these were two excellent bands (much different I might add) but both paved the way and influenced SO many bands to come. Why can't you all just accept the fact that they were great? I am an enormous Pearl Jam fan, but I'm not blind in that Nirvana was a great band. Nirvana wasn't overrated, but Kurt Cobain was. Are we that blind to realize how much musical talent Dave Grohl has (and not to mention the fact that he has a little fun being famous)? But yet over and over again we're faced with the idea that Kurt Cobain was the only reason Nirvana was a band. I wouldn't say in a million years that Eddie Vedder is Pearl Jam. Eddie is as far from fake, I might add, as you can get. He can't be blamed for the "one-after-another" copycat bands to follow (like Creed, STP, Nickelback etc.). He isn't responsible for that. It's like blaming Red Hot for rap-metal, or Nirvana for Puddle of Mudd. It's absolutley ridiculous. Accept the fact that Eddie is a wonderful musician and deal with it. Fake? What fake artists fights Ticketmaster to support his fans, sells every bootlegged cd for his fans (you think the Fargo, ND bootleg really makes him a lot of money?), participates in Hurricane Katrina relief, Tibetan relief, the ONE organization, and a number of other foundations. How often did "Oh I'm so sad because I'm famous" Kurt Cobain offer help to the poorly deprived? Face it idiots! They were both great artists and there should be enough room (if your a fan of one of the other) in your heart for both of them. And Eddie Vedder overrated? Please, he's had to live in Kurt's shadow since his suicide made him a "pop culture" icon! (think Biggie and Tupac. Did you listen to them before they were shot? Nope.) And to the idiot that argued "pop culture"...it is pop culture you putts...it doesn't mean they were pop music. Amen to the Seattle sound. I support it all. Pearl Jam, Nirvana, Soundgarden, Alice,Mudhoney, the Screaming Trees, and Sonic Youth. It was all B-E-A-utiful! By the way, I haven't seen this movie but Gus rocks! I have heard some bad things about this one though.
