She's dead, guys. To honor her memory, I shall embed a YouTube video. I should stress that this is in no way an attempt to share with you guys a funny video. <insert name here> <(^_^<)Meh.^Meh. _Meh. or something like that 23:15, July 23, 2011 (UTC)

Beercastle is dead!

Your video sucks

Also, it has absolutely no connection with Amy Winehouse. Poor girl, she's now in the same league as Kurt Cobain- awesome musician, without the required awesome mental condition needed for coping with the resulting fame & fortune. It's really sad that some of the brightest stars in the entertainment business blow up so quickly. --Scofield & Friends 20:05, July 24, 2011 (UTC)

Well, there's really only two ways to go about it in showbiz. Either you blow up and die in youth and reach cult status, or your entire band grows old and fat as balls to the point where they have to include metamucil and prune juice in the contract liner for shows, and every tour you go to everyone insists on you playing that one hit song that everybody likes and you're so sick of playing over and over that you wish you had died gracefully in youth, and then when you finally do convince the crowd to try out your "new stuff" everybody thinks it sucks. So really in a way if you think about it, it's for the best. User:Mrthejazz/sig 06:32, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

Loss of your "status" isn't as important as staying alive, if you ask me. There are many things worse than death, but fading away ain't one of them. Heck, we've got veteran actors who are 20 years older than what Kurt Cobain would be today, and people still admire them. Wouldn't be possible if they'd gone the way of the addict. --Scofield & Friends 16:35, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

I agree with Scofield. I guess if you could ask Cobain right now if he'd rather be dead and famous or alive and unknown, he'd choose the latter. But your comment made me lol, MrtheJazz. :) Mattsnow 16:56, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

"You know..." said Kurt Cobain "what I really want to be is an unknown rock 'n' roll star." There's a word for people like that. "Morons". Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 20:24, July 30, 2011 (UTC)

YOU CALLED KURT COBAIN A MORON!!! I'LL BITCH-SLAP A GUITAR OVER UR ASS U FUCKING HATER!!!!! --Scofield & Friends 12:42, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

But seriously speaking, calling him a "moron" is rather judgmental. Not everybody's cut-out to handle the kind of fame Kurt Cobain and his band achieved. Including Mr Cobain himself. Heck, even Wikipedia says that he was uncomfortable with his new "image" after the success of "Nevermind". In his suicide note, he repeatedly mentions how he couldn't "pretend" anymore. What we're seeing is a whole group of people who's lives are destroyed because of the all the success and popularity they've achieved. They're not morons. They're disturbed. They're troubled. And with nobody to save them, they become tragedies. --Scofield & Friends 12:53, July 31, 2011 (UTC)

Too bad some of the most brilliant people become drug magnets, with the resulting Epic Fail, and the ultimate EPIC FAIL following soon after. That, plus the pressure to stay young and beautiful results in nasty tabloids and the following demise of the weak, when they realize that their youth is fading. 27 isn't that far off from 30, and its when the first sign of wrinkles, balding, and grey hairs starts to show up, and metabolism, slows down (resulting in either cellulite, anorexia, or exercise obsession). I am personally very glad that I am an unknown person to the tabloids, because they would be publishing hate left and right about me. -- Simsilikesims(♀UN) Talk here. 00:39, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

If he wanted to be in a band without being famous, instead of being in Nirvana he should've been in a Nirvana cover band. Sir Modusoperandi ^Boinc! 00:58, August 1, 2011 (UTC)

Um...he made Nirvana, so becoming a cover band would be kind of stupid (and playing the same old songs again and again for the rest of your life? Heck, even I would kill myself). I'm guessing he just wasn't happy with the kind of attention he was receiving after the band's breakthrough. He even tried to be a little different with "In Utero", but something inside him had clearly snapped when he escaped from rehab and shot himself. --Scofield & Friends 12:30, August 2, 2011 (UTC)
