Yeah, well let's not pretend Dave doesn't have his own claim to some pretty significant street cred. Nirvana and Foo, not one but two major groups of the past 20+ years. Not to mention all the great side work he's done.
Personally a fan of Them Crooked Vultures.

Being a successful musician doesn't say much about a person's character. Dave is a ***.

Oh? News to me.
He's always seemed pretty legit to me.

He talked a bunch of crap about Courtney and Kurt. Have a little respect for the dead and don't be the guy who badmouths colleagues. That is the epitome of classless.

I've seen him talk smack about Courtney, but Courtney isn't dead and she's a mega-***.

If he'd limited it to Courtney, I wouldn't care, but he said some things about Kurt being selfish and put some blame on him for their daughter's problems. The dude was mentally ill and strung out, that's not cool even if it's true.

I consider myself a sorta Nirvana biographer and Dave was essential for Nirvana being successful. The previous drummer was this guy.
He was okay wasn't a bad drummer. But Dave is a hell of a drummer !

I'm...sorry, I seem to have stumbled into the girl's locker room by mistake. I'll just see myself out.

Pfft, where were the girls who talked about Nirvana when I was in school? I had a girlfriend that was a Pink Floyd fan, but that's about it.

The running mate has been vaguely hinted at today.

Sometimes you're a bit too candid. Even about friends.
It's shitty if he said that publicly though, and I'm not going to defend it beyond saying that the pressure to share things about Nirvana has to be pretty intense, especially as time goes by and there's nothing "new" to tell, so you open up more and more about things you probably shouldn't.
But that said...maybe that's something you just keep to yourself even if people are pushing. I dunno. I'm not in his shoes to say that though.

Let's be honest Courtney was Courtney before she met Kurt...they both were heavy drug users. Kurt was getting ready to divorce her also according to most accounts. She didn't exactly help Kurt...

I'm not an "expert" by any means. I wasn't a huge fan when they were an ongoing thing, but I listened and had friends who were huge fans, and being a drummer myself I covered a lot of their stuff at the time.
I don't know what the dude is like as a human being, but as a musician and personality in the music world, I really like the man. His head seems like it's in the right place.

I think Jas is basically just saying "Yeah, Kurt had issues and may not have done any favors to some people, but it really does zero good to throw a beloved figure under the bus at this point, even if maybe it's not entirely unfair to do so."
Then again, I'll talk smack on John Lennon and the way he ***all over Julian's life and treated women like garbage, including physically abusing them.
John is one of the great figures in music history. Period. Full stop.
But sometimes great men aren't very good ones. And John could be a real *** at times.

From most of what I've read Dave and Kurt were very good friends. Courtney was always very controversial from the time the start.

Its been narrowed down to 5 and more than likely one of his biggest rivals during the primaries.
By fonewear 2016-06-08 17:40:00
He should get Bernie to be his running mate just to piss off the Bernie bros !

Yeah, it really sucks when you hear good music but can't help thinking about how much you don't like the person behind it, but there are some additional factors that add to or take away that feeling for me personally.
For example, Axl Rose was bad in so many ways but he owned it, so I don't feel weird about enjoying Guns 'N Roses music. On the other hand, I can't hear the song "Imagine" without thinking about what a hypocrite John Lennon was.
Similarly, I still don't like Apple products because of that jerk Steve Jobs, whether he was a genius or not.

That's the word on the wire. Courtney was bad news from day one. Call her the Yoko of the 90's.

Pretty much. It's more the fact that he's in the public eye. I get that he's a musician and not some kind diplomat, but I lose a lot of respect for someone who can't leave well enough alone when they have a soapbox.

Is not liking them because they suck and are overpriced not enough reason?

Steve jobs was good in the business world but he was a lousy father in my book. He denied being a father etc. A real jerk ***.

Apple used to make good products back in the day. Now they basically make smart phones and that is it.

Don't you hate it when people defy stereotypes? I keep trying to get some tips on discreet body disposal from my Italian neighbor, but he keeps threatening to call the cops.
Quote: US TV network NBC is cutting ties with Donald Trump over "recent derogatory statements" that the veteran businessman made about immigrants.
NBC said the company would now not be airing the Miss USA and Miss Universe pageants that are co-owned by Mr Trump.
Responding to the announcement, Mr Trump said he would consider suing NBC.
Earlier this month, he accused Mexicans of adding drugs and crime to the US as he announced he was seeking the Republican presidential nomination.
"They're bringing drugs, they're bringing crime, they're rapists, and some I assume are good people, but I speak to border guards, and they tell us what we are getting," he said in his speech on 16 June.
He also pledged to build a "great wall" on the US border with Mexico and insisted it would be paid for by Mexicans.
He later insisted he was criticising US lawmakers, not Mexican people. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-33321290
I'm honestly surprised with some of the shit he says. Even though I probably shouldn't be.
