   I would never take a guy named "Brandon Flowers" seriously.

   Listened to Nirvana all the way back from Vegas today and it was fun to me.

   Grunge is better than his pop bs.

   I think what he's trying to say is that grunge replaced the fun hair metal bands of the 80's. So then that would make what he said, not really offencive. I don't know what you people are getting so upset for. (and don't bash me, I do love Nirvana…and I like the Killers)
   But seriously, this guy has got to be careful. Comments like this (since people take it the wrong way) make people lose respect for him.

   Okay so this guy needs to keep his mouth shut. He's a freakin' idiot. Kurt Cobain and Nirvana were the voice of that generation, and the Killer's have maybe put out one DECENT song. Plus, since putting out Mr. Brightside, they've been pretty much DOA. I'll never spend another dime on any of their music because Kurt Cobain is an idol. STFU Brandon Flowers

   Re: cobhc6669 – Was 80's hair metal fun? I think that some were wishing it were Zeppelin and Ozzy instead of backcombed and bleached hair /jean jackets turning well written metal and rock into a.m. format; Hook, melody, chorus, hook, melody, chorus, 3.5 minutes, ka-ching.

    Re: She says…. – I'm not 'holding on to the 90's' I'm defending them, I'd do the same for the 60's, 70's & 80's as well. Music from the last 10 years has SUCKED BALLS and has done NOTHING to contribute creatively to the music industry, ie. look where MTV has gone (to shit, as the 90's ended)…

    As a person who was a teenager during grunge's heyday, and was a Kurt Cobain and Nirvana fanatic, I have to say I agree. Grunge was a huge gift to music but at the same time it contributed greatly to my depression and gave me an excuse to be sad and angry. As much as I love it I also understand the sadness it brought.

    Why are people getting so riled up about this comment? He didn't insult Nirvana. He simply said that the grunge period was devoid of the more whimsical, quirky elements of rock music. Is that incorrect? If you could conjure kurt's spirit & ask him about his music do you think he would describe it as fun? It is so annoying that people have this god-like conception of Kurt Cobain. Sure he was great, but let it go. He is certainly not deserving (who is?) or likely desiring sainthood (wherever he is).

    You have to consider what he's saying. He is commenting on the style & feel of grunge music- he's not saying he doesn't like Kurt Cobain. He's actually been inspired by Kurt Cobain. Look it up & look at the whole picture before you go apeshit over one sentence.

    ""Rumour: You wrote "Enterlude" and "Exitlude" on Sam's Town after having a dream about Kurt Cobain singing its melody?
    A. "Yes…""

    Google it if you don't believe me.

    The majority of people here are taking this quote waaay too seriously, lol. All Brandon meant was that grunge bands like Nirvana made Rock & Roll all angsty and depressing. Now, I'm not dissing Nirvana but it's true. Before the grunge movement Rock & Roll was fun, nowadays see Rock as being all about angst and deep lyrics and heavy guitars. And it shows here - all you Nirvana fans are like, OMFGHEDIDNOTSAYTHATIHATETHEKILLARZ!!1!1! You should be more like us Killers fans, you know? Unlike you grunge fanatics, we're not serious business. Rock & Roll is fun. Reading all these serious comments from the Nirvana fans kinda prove that Brandon's right, y/y?

    Jesus people, slow your roll. I love nirvana and the killers and alot of other bands. It was just a statement and in fact a true one. BFD! So grunge wasnt fun? So what? No reason to go apeshit about the fact that brandon said that. P.S. the only reason kurt cobain is idolized now is because the jackass killed himself. if he were still alive perez would be featuring his heroin and meth addicted ass on this site. Sorry, sad but true

    Is this guy kidding me? Honestly. Nerve on him to even mention Kurt's name, much less insult Nirvana. Grunge was an important period in music history, one that helped define new music today. And if it's not fun anymore, why are there still shows? Brandon Floooowers has to learn to shut his fucking mouth before insulting a band better than his will ever be. Nirvana is art. Jealousy is not.

    Kurt Cobain is god! Brandon Flowers is a TOOL!!!! Kurt was A REAL PERSON and people could relate to him because his fans were REAL JUST LIKE HIM!Unlike the hair metal bands that were driving Porches and banging 500 girls a night,which the average person can not relate to,sorry.You can put on a Nirvana record and embrace music and lyrics that you could relate to what was going on in your own life. The hair bands just didn't have that deep kind of connection with people like Nirvana's music did.

    I don't think he meant anything negative by it. Maybe just that grunge music was depressing…and it was. I was apart of that whole trend back then but it was definitely suicidal music. Then again Kurt Cobain was one fucked up individual. HE KILLED HIMSELF :X Yah…and so people say things like that.

    By the way for all you losers that don't know. Download shadowplay. It's The Killers and it rocks I'm sure Kurt would have loved it. I loved Nirvana back then, who didn't? I'm sure Brandon did too.

    Wow, I never thought I'd live to agree with a member of the Killers. He couldn't be more correct - grunge kicked the life out of Rock. I'm glad Cobain didn't live to piss on music any longer than he did. PS, *victoriaaaa*, if by "define" you mean whimpering cowardice, then yeah, you're right.

    tbh, I don't think he meant it as an insult, I love nirvana but the last word I would describe them with is 'fun', they didn't want to be fun. I think it's more a lament of how after grunge artists stopped producing campy, bouncy rock and only concentrated on the depressing stuff so they'd be taken seriously. Nirvana were brilliant- the thousands of shitty wannabe grungers that took over the scene as the result of their music are not.

    I can't stand this guy but its kind of true. You wouldn't know that if you were born in the 80's and too young to really know ROCK. Grunge was angry and Kurt was a freakin herion addict and well, kids, there is just not a lot of "fun" associated with that drug, especially since he was self medicating! So yeah, it put a negative type spin on things. But I liked the music, it is what it is.

    First of all, all you Nirvana and Kurt Cobain addicts need to chill out, it's not like he's saying they suck. He realizes they had a huge impact on music, but simply wishes to bring back some of what Nirvana took away. And believe it or not, Kurt Cobain is not god, so you don't have to worship at his feet. Second of all, what he's saying is true. The grunge movement was not about having fun, it was more about letting out your emotions out. It's sort of therapeutic in a way to listen to angry or depressing songs as it can relieve those feelings, but it's not fun. Perhaps all of these angry and hostile outbursts about this quote kind of proves that.

Kurt Cobain helped introduce a new genre into the rock category. plus, rock and roll is such a 1950s way to talk about rock today. if you want rock and roll, go listen to Elvis or something.

    some songs of the period were depressing, but many more were fun.. and maybe even influential. how many killer songs have influenced anyone to do anything but play guitar hero?
