Pixies question

[sail3005]

In my Nirvana thread some people said that Nirvana borrowed a lot from Pixies. Well, I downloaded a lot of Pixies music, and i just don't see the Nirvana in it ?

It does remind me a LOT of weezer though, it sounds almost exactly like them infact.

I sound nothing like Weezer

[sail3005]

but, did you influence nirvana?

[Pix]

I dunno, I've never asked them

nah I dont think they sound much like pixies either... pixies were definitely not grunge and you could probably say that nirvana 'started' the grunge phenomenon doo doo di doo doo ...ooopss sorry for the muppets there

It's the influence thing sail.
Put Gauge away or Bone Machine next to Nirvana's Teen Spirit and you'll clearly see the similarities in song structure : soft/loud, huge riffs, singing style etc.
They had an awkward, aggressive, seething and sometimes poppy nature.

Nirvana's music sounds different because they used heavier material they borrowed from Melvins, Sonic Youth and a whole host of hard rock/heavy metal bands.

Nirvana's uniqueness lies in the fact that Cobain was such a good song writer and could fuse the above elements into a catchy, modern hell of a noise.

Besides, Cobain himself called them often his greatest influence

Sandra Bullock looking like an idiot singing that to Kermit is one of the most hysterical moments on TV

If man is 5, if man is 5, if man is 5, if man is 5
And the devil is 6 and the devil is 6 and the devil is 6 and the devil is 6
then god is 7, god is 7, god is 7, god is 7
this monkey's gone to heaven...


ok i made that up but however it actually is it is surely the most prophetic lyrics ever written about genetic engineering
