His death allowed them to be remembered as they were and made them more millions, his death assured that they didnt go through a 2, 3 or 4 record streak of shit music. I never said they were better, I said his eating a bullet kept them relevant instead of featured on a where are they now episode
I get what you're saying but they changed the music scene overnight for a generation. Not many bands can say that. It does help as Grohl's Foo Fighters have been relevant for over a decade also. I hope to never hear Smells Like Teen Spirit anymore, but their music holds up very well today, very very hard to do.
This is about the only thing in this thread I can agree with you on. There isn't much of a difference between them, because they were (and are) both GREAT bands. They both were hugely influential on music for a decade or more. A decade which, IMO, is one of the best in music history..
You have to be looking pretty hard to find new music in the last 10-15 years that can match that era in music. Nirvana and Guns N' Roses were a major reason for the explosion.
