yeah, the one piece of evidence that stands out is the position they found the shotgun. also how his friends were at his home and didnt discover the body or whatnot. i dunno if that means there is a conspiracy, its jst a weird occurrence.

Kurt cited the Pixies as a huge influence, but I wouldn't consider them in any way lumped in with the "grunge" sound.
I guess they are also under the generic "90's alt rock" term, but that also includes Tool, Primus, RATM, etc. Pretty much any rock band that got airplay on 90's alt-rock radio stations.
Also, any love for Mudhoney? Had their first couple albums, which were pretty good.

it is weird. I read the OP info, and I've heard about this for years. I just don't see a conspiracy.
Pixies is a rock band, period. Grunge, alternative, genre this genre that.

Any excuse to post a bunch of awesome Pixies videos is good enough for me! Also, while you may not want call them grunge or whatever, you certainly draw more of a straight line from them to the grunge bands than any of the other bands you listed.

supposedly kurt was going to leave her. also some ado about his suicide note. claiming it wasnt in his hand or that the note was his handwriting, but the suicidey bits was written in a different hand. and was there a rumor about a new will? its provocative stuff, but at the end of the day its all just conjecture. the police revisited the case some time ago and i never heard any further news about it.

Negative. Nirvana had great songs. But I'm a musician snob and almost all the other grunge bands had vastly better musicians in them. Soundgarden is by far my favorite. Matt Cameron: dope drummer. Kim Thayil: dope guitarist. Chris Cornell: voice so good I get wiggles in my pants. Plus they wrote some weird ass chord progressions that actually made sense. The chord progressions in Black Hole Sun are insanely original. And that's their biggest hit!

That's how I see it, as provocative conjecture. Whenever a celebrity dies, especially one so sudden, under such troubling & suspicious circumstances, there's always going to be the rumor mill.
Pixies is pre-grunge for sure. As was Sonic Youth. Kurt even said that Teen Spirit was him trying to write a Pixies song.
Bleach is an underrated album, very old school hardcore punk influenced.Trivia quiz. Did you know this was a cover of the 60's band that did "I'm your Venus, I'm your fire"?

I'm just grateful that "Smells Like Teen Spirit" came out my freshman year in HS because my friends that are even a couple years older than me still like Motley Crue/Def Leppard/Van Halen bullshit and I give Kurt credit for saving me from that grim fate.

Don't you dare badmouth Sammy Hagar.
Edit: Nah, but seriously the first album I ever bought with my own money was GNR's Appetite and Dr. Feelgood was huge at the time. I can't tell you how many times I listened to my Shout At The Devil cassette. And though I first got into VH when Poundcake came out, it's true they turned into a bunch of ballad lovesong pussies when Diamond Dave went solo.
