Kurt Cobain's guitar - WTF???
Kurt Cobain's guitar - WTF???
$6M - seriously?
Dave Gilmour's Black Strat raised $4M and, whilst still a ridiculous amount of money, was better "value" than this self-righteous, talentless hack's Martin...

He could’ve bought Joe Hart in 2018 for that.

talentless
Re: Kurt Cobain's guitar - WTF???
I am, of course, referring to his guitar playing, not his songwriting.

Impossible to put a price tag on items like this. They are "worth" as much as anyone is willing to pay.

Re: Kurt Cobain's guitar - WTF???
Anyways, he was hardly talentless and I wouldn't have classed him as self-righteous, certainly not by todays standards. He was more self-hating if anything.

I was going to say, ‘self-righteous’ is the last think you could accuse Cobain / Nirvana of being.
Pink Floyd on the other hand...

It was far from Nirvanas normal performance and probably the most famous live performance of all time.

Re: Kurt Cobain's guitar - WTF???
It's not a particularly good guitar either. Martin do make some exceptional acoustic guitars but that isn't one of them.
At least the person who bought it is going to use it to raise money for charities.

I tend to think that self righteous is people saying ‘end of thread’ because they think there is nothing to add.

My poor attempt at irony has clearly failed here.

Of course, I meant as an individual one off gig.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 12:36 pmOne of the most recognised but it isn't as famous as Queen/Live Aid
Re: Kurt Cobain's guitar - WTF???
As a one off band performances not associated with a festival/live aid. I’d say so yes. I know loads did MTV Unplugged but they didn’t all do it on the same day etc.Clarets4me wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 12:28 pmThe most famous live performance of all time was by " Nirvana " ? ...... Really ?
So yeah, I’d say so. I’m not an Nirvana fan btw. That’s just how I see it. I can’t think of another band gig that comes close.

If that's worth six million I wonder what Bowie's blue acoustic would go for.

Which wasn't as good as George thorogood and the destroyers who did a bit of a Denmark, coming on as a late replacement and then won live aid.GodIsADeeJay81 wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 12:36 pmOne of the most recognised but it isn't as famous as Queen/Live Aid

The same one the ‘bum’ notes were played on during “the man who sold the world”.CJW wrote: ↑Mon Jun 22, 2020 8:37 am$6M - seriously?

Re: Kurt Cobain's guitar - WTF???
Agree with Dyched’s view that the performance was one of the big , iconic performances in rock music history. I always think of the incredible power and emotion he put into the old Leadbelly song In The Pines . A tremendous vocal from someone whose aura is sadly increased by dying young.
