Nirvana Bassist Deletes Twitter After Backlash For Coming Out

I recall that Kurt's mom said, after he died, that the remaining Nirvana members were all reactionary homophobes.

He’s a fucking cunt!

Why is that band still around it died when Kurt died.

He seems stupid and contagious.

R1, I somehow find that hard to believe with Dave Grohl?

". Imagine if so-called ‘patriot militias’ were raising this kind of hell? "

I'll take "armed militia in the Michigan statehouse" for 500, Alex.

r5 She was very much including him in what she said. IIRC, she was implying that his and Novoselic's reluctant to work with David Geffen was caused by their homophobia.

Pat Smear is in Foo Fighters and is one fo Dave Grohl's best friends. They wrote a song about homophobia as a fuck you to the Westboro Church. If Dave was homophobic, I think he's now an ally. And fuck Krist!

Without Kurt he'd be a vinyl record store clerk living with his mom.

A new update on his now re-opened FB

[quote] To clarify a few things: As an avowed independent, I don’t endorse a major party or candidate. And it feels insane to have to say this , but I don’t support fascism, and I don’t support an authoritarian state. I believe in a civilized society and that we all have to work toward that. Love and thanks to anyone who cares to read this.

me guess, posted under the advice of friends and family or some PR person

Although many of those protesting are on the left side of the political spectrum, these protests have nothing to do with what party you belong to or your political affiliation. Everybody has skin in this game. The police do police differently and more agressively in Black and POC communties, but don't be fooled that White people are immune to police violence.

Everyone loses when even one of us is harmed. For him to call protesters a "leftist insurrection" speaks volumes about him. Did he say anything about the white supremacists groups infiltrating the protests and instigating violence? Of course not.

Does he still make music?

Dave Grohl was definitely the one to go on and have a huge career, post-Nirvana.

Name 3 Dave Grohl songs.

He was never the cute one.

I'm over the histronic on twitter. Some people aren't going to agree with SJWs but they don't accept that. Democrats always alienate normal people before elections and then point the fingers at russians and white people when they lose.

R13, Everlong, Learn to Fly, Monkey Wrench

R15 LOL “Normal people” like ... who? Trumpers? GTFOH You think all the shit that has gone on for the past 3 years is normal?

Obviously mentally ill and racist.

Yes! He's awful! Everyone focus on him and his awfulness!

R18 which describes all trump supporters

Dave Grohl swished it up pretty good in this video,

Biden is an evil piece of shit. He has the blood of women and children o his hands. He and Obama droned American citizens.

We. Will. Not. Forget.

^^^Guurl, enough.

He threw his heavy bass guitar into the air while performing at the VMAs and it smashed his head when it came back down. He has been semi tardish ever since.

R15 is correct.

Trump is the lesser of the two evils between him and Joe Biden. I understand where this Nirvana giy is coming from.

Block R22 and magically R15 disappears too ...lol

R26 He's not.

Another reason not to listen to Nirvana.

[quote] R234, Black people may have wpn Biden the primary bit they won't win him the election. Nobody else likes Biden other than social media/cable news junkies who are told by billionaire elites who are told who to like and vote for Literally no one else wants to go back to the Obama days. That kind of Democrat's days are over and thank goodness.

We are over your histrionics.

R6 Did they danage anything or actually shoot anyone?

R25 is an idiot.

R15 and R25. Nice try, but invoking Twitter drama as being tiresome and using "SJW" as some kind of pithy dismissal does not alter the actual substance of this issue. Trump talked about using military force against American citizens. Down the slippery slope of fascism. This musician praised it.

And yes, let's simply dismiss as "SJWs" those who think it's problematic... like General Mad Dog Mattis.

if obama was using military force against "white supremacist" these hypocrites would applaud it.

He's always been a weird guy. Now he's very rich guy whose made it and is pretty much, "fuck everyone else". Most rich people are. I don't even know why he cares. This isn't affecting him. He lives on a farm and he's worth enough money to last 5 lifetimes

I will admit, I wouldn't want to work with/for david geffen either. He's scum

r34 Useless comment... and is clear you didn't pay attention. Huge pushback from progressives AGAINST Obama for using drones all over the world as lethal tools.... exponentially more deaths than under Bush. Also, huge increases in deportations.

There were many wonderful things about Obama, but he received real and relentless criticism from the left.

R36, He recieved crititicisim from what was then known as the FRINGE left. The MSM kept their tongues firmly planted in his anal cavity for the full 8 years.

R37 Revisionist history... history you want because it satisfies some internal need or supports your argument. Remember even this campaign Bernie was defending his suggestion that Obama needed to be primaried in 2012. But I'm sure Bernie, who almost was nominated in 2016, is FRINGE to you.

R38, Bernie was getting his ass handed to him by the mainstream media at that time. And he didnt have the movement he has now then. Peopl3 acted like he committed a cardinak sin by questioning Obama.

And of course anything not fawning over Obama was dismissed as racist .

Did this cunt speak out against the murdering White Supremacists at Charlottesville?

[quote] Bernie was getting his ass handed to him by the mainstream media at that time

This never happened. Bernie was treated with kid gloves up until the later part of the 2020 primary. Until then, he was never seriously challenged.

Side note: It's hilarious how Bernie wanted to primary Obama and then tried to make it seem like Obama loved him in his commercials for this year's primary. What a joke.

R41, Are you kidding? He was portrayed as a sexidst by the media for not getting out of the way for Hillary. The media defamed him every step of the way and continue to even to this day. 5 years straight of constant defamation

How did they "defame" him? If anything, the media helped spread the BS that the democratic primary was rigged. Which only helped Bernie, so he has no reason to complain.

R44, Nope. That was spread on social media and by far left news outlets. The MSM covered for the DNC and Hillary

Except there was nothing to cover for because nothing wrong was done. There was no rigging of the primary. It makes a great conspiracy, I know. But it never happened.

This shitty band is one of the most overrated bands ever.

OMG I just bought a pair of Nirvana Stance socks!

I don’t think I will wear them now. They are unopened, so at least I can return them.

Unlike the Michael Jackson socks I’m stuck with!

For some reason, this one caught me by surprise.

R8, I am not sure about Pat Smear. Think he is currently married to a woman (not that this makes you straight, but I was surprised when I found out, as I also thought he was supposed to be super gay).

Weird that he would end up being a Trumpeteer. Kurt most certainly would not approve of Trump or the MAGA rally crowds.

Kurt wanted to shed these two backup musicians, and his psycho wife. But he never got the chance. Now he's dead and they're rich.

Once during a Nirvana show Krist was clever and threw his bass guitar up in the air. He forget to move out of the way before the dang thing crashed into him. I wonder if this Trumpery wet kiss is brain damage.

[quote] Kurt wanted to shed these two backup musicians

R52, I never knew that?

He's a 60 yo white guy, of course he supports Chump.

Donna Brazille says otherwise.

Something stinks in this thread.

Nothing in that article proves that it was "rigged"--that headline is pure sensationalism.

Jesus Krist!

Let’s get some FFs going in here, shall we? Enough with these racists.

I want them out of my sight. They make sick already.

One of the disadvantages to blocking Trump trolls/Bernie cultists is that you can't see their posts anymore to FF.

Fox News polls: Trump trails Biden in Ohio, Arizona and Wisconsin

Did any of those Nirvana dudes have working, big, veiny, rock star cock?

R63 No. Look to Courtney Love for that.

He’s always been a brilliantly provocative political analyst:

Yeah, R65. He's a turdblossom alright.

What was he on in the video at R65?

He said he's an independent yet he called the protests a "leftist insurrection." That's not the language of an apolitical independent like he tries to describe himself as.

R54, toward the end of his life, Kurt was reportedly expressing irritation with the other two members, who were mad at the "Kurt and Courtney" publicity. You could see definite tension in interviews. His inclusion of Pat Smear in the band was seen as his first step in getting away from the others, and if I recall, Dave ran off for several months. A few years ago Courtney explained that was Dave being understanding and giving them space, but Krist didn't, and he kept hounding Kurt to clean up and go back to recording ASAP, which made Kurt feel "ganged up on."

[quote] exponentially more deaths than under Bush

Are you going to offer some proof for that statement? Because if you can't, then you have given us another reason to ignore you.

This would have been an interesting thread had the BernieBro not decided to spam the whole thing with "Biden sucks!" replies.

R50 Pat is the biggest non gay princess of all time. Though I wouldn't be surprised if he ever had a cock shoved up his ass or a cock in his mouth.

R69 This was common knowledge. And it took five seconds on Google. But go ahead and FF me if it makes you happy. Peace.

R72, the article is idiotic because it compares Obama's drone strikes with GWB's. GWB used war. A million died in Iraq because of his war.

It's like comparing Obama's drone strike's to George Washington's.

Utter nonsense from the right

Is anybody checking for this asshole who hasn’t been relevant for 25 years?

R73 Not from the right, leftist have commented on this a lot. Truly, you could do a little research rather than rush to post on a social media site. Information, critically reviewed... what a concept.

Critically reviewed information from a blog called "The Bureau Investigates"? Okay, sure,

thebureauinvestigates dot com is the Bureau of Investigative Journalism? Yeesh, terrible URL.

But they're the ones who boffed the McAlpine situation, right? And their editor is formerly of The Mail on Sunday?

Anyway, Obama's use of drone warfare doesn't really have anything to do with what Krist said, and I don't know why you're defending the "histrionic" dude who brought it up in the first place. Also, it's true that comparing W to Obama in drone warfare only, rather than overall warfare, is useless. Compare the death toll under W to the death toll under Obama, regardless of what weaponry was used.

R77 The original point was that the left "had its nose up Obama's ass" and would never criticize him for anything. The drone thing was intended to be but one concrete example. I am DSA, and that was commonly expressed concern in those circles. And the left in general constantly criticized Obama - "neo-liberal corporatist policies, never closing Guantanamo, trade deals with no human rights/labor rights elements, stopping at the Republican-lite Obamacare and not pushing for single payer..." on and on. To say Obama had no criticism from progressives is revisionist history, and patently untrue.

But now back to the thread about responses to Trumps oppressive militarist threats....

R78 is all over the Antifa thread cheering them on. PSA on the DSA.

I am R78 and I haven't posted on the Antifa thread at all. Anitfa bores the hell out of me. So don't know what you're talking about.

R74: DataLounge seems to be mostly a GenX board. People here will always have at least a mild interest in anything relating to Nirvana/Kurt/Courtney, Winona Ryder, River Phoenix, Christian Slater, Michael J. Fox, and other people who were famous when they were in their teens and twenties.

Does he have Eastern Euro Nazi-lover blood?

R80 I got you mixed up with someone else. The DSA have a few public supporters of Antifa, so it fit with my image of them. Not fair to you, sorry I jumped the gun.

Well, he is a very sick man. Too bad.

R21, that music video still cracks me up all of these years later.

I was glad Dave cut his hair -- he looks much better with short hair.

R83 Thanks, social media posters don't usually clarify and apologize like you.

I'm DSA for decades, but I was completely pissed off by those who resisted voting for Clinton/against Trump in 2016. So kind of middle of the road DSA if that's possible.

The Antifa character is.... well not one thing. There are so many different people with varied motivations under that umbrella. I've known (well, friends' kids) who were dumpster diving anarchists... absolutely wanting to bring the whole system down, and happy to see destruction of property as a necessary step in that. I also saw a shallowness and thrill seeking in them..... just the flip side of some jock bullshit. I find them tedious and narcissistic. Other than that....
