Rock Legends DESTROYED by Nirvana? Their Reactions…

“That was great because it got rid of all those guys with hairspray and leotards. Then Kurt came in like a phoenix and cut them down like wheat before the sickle. 'You are DONE.' I particularly loved his music. When one of his songs came on it just hit you – it was so good and there won’t be any more." -Tom Petty

GNR suffered because of Axl not Nirvana

Layne Staley's interview was about In utero not Nevermind...💀

It never affected Pantera. I feel like 80s Metal was already on its way out and the 90s grunge scene was just another scene that music labels could exploit. It didnt take long for grunge to die either.

Guns N Roses still filled up stadiums after Nevermind. They imploded from within. Grunge didn't hurt them at all.

Kurt such a nice guy what he said about MJ was so respectful...

Guns N' Roses wasn't destroyed, or even diminished by Nirvana. The music video for November Rain came out 5 months after the release of Nevermind, and it still debuted #1 on MTV's most wanted, and went on to be the most requested video on MTV, ever. It is also the first music video on YouTube that was released before the advent of YouTube to reach 1 billion views. It currently has 2.1 billion views compared to 1.8 billion views for Smells Like Teen Spirit.

Sixx talking about fashion is hilarious

My uncle was their original drummer. Unfortunately for him, he got kicked out shortly before the made it big.

Im probably in the Minority here but i Loved both the illusion albums & Nevermind at the same time back in the day. I understood they were different bands with different styles but i could appreciate both styles of Music. The feud between Grunge & Hair Metal was totally created by the Media. Some of the bands got into it but most just wanted to write music and tour.

"Hair Metal", is actually a derogatory term, coined by 80's Thrash Bands, as an insult to Glam Metal...the actual subgenre. Nirvana, and Grunge, didn't kill anything. The 80's were all about having a good time, and enjoying life. The 90's brought in a time of change: angst, depression, despair; self loathing became the "new norm". The 90's were the hangover from the 80's; nobody wanted to have good times anymore. Glam Metal killed itself, it imploded...nothing to do with Nirvana or Grunge. Guns n Roses co-headlined tours with Metallica, a year after Nevermind was released...but they destroyed themselves, as well. Nirvana and Grunge didn't kill anything, they just added to the flavor. 🤘🏻

When I was growing up, I liked music of all of these bands, mostly of Gnr and Nirvana. I had no idea there was some clash of styles or whatever, it was just good music, evoking somewhat different emotions.

nevermind is such a masterpiece

A bunch of trend-followers from the 80s whining that they didn't manage to successfully follow the 90s trends. G'N'R continued to sell albums and sell out stadiums throughout "Grunge era". Grunge had no impact on their popularity. The writer sounds like they weren't there.

It's funny because everyone was sold on Nirvana because of Smells Like Teen Spirit. It was the Come as You Are video that sold me. I was 10 spending the weekend at my mom's because my parents were divorced. That video came on, and it blew my mind. I was like, "holy crap! This song is amazing!" I had the Nevermind cassette the very next weekend 😂

Forever NIRVANA 🗿

Nirvana Forever💯💥👊🏽🔥😎

Rachel was right 100% in his analysis. Lots of Nirvana copycats stagnated the market and ruined it.

Thats the problem with music industry. Always on rivalry. Not supporting all bands. Making bad opinion to other bands just to destroy reputations of other bands.

nikki cannot be talking about fashion movements lmao
