I would have to say that it would have been awesome to go to a Nirvana concert but I wasn't very old at the time Kurt Cobain took his life.


Jimmy Hendrix, what an amazing musician, if only he was still alive, I'm sure we all thought about this. And then there was SRV, this guy was amazing, he played with so much passion, I still can't believe hes gone, and that I never saw his band live...Hendrix and SRV have been huge influences on my life, you have idea how many times Ive envisioned going to one of their concerts. Believe it or not, I once had the opportunity to go see Nirvana a long time ago, but because of personal problems I passed up the opportunity, thinking that there would be several other shows along the way. But you have no idea how completely numb my body wen't once I found out the news of Kurt Cobain's passing, it was like a hard punch to my stomach. There aren't many musicians quite like him who put their heart and soul into their songs, this man expressed his personally through his songs in just about every possible way. I'm still kicking myself till this very day for passing up a Nirvana concert, its just not the same on video...
