Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, and AiC have all aged better than Nirvana.
Nirvana is Bush/STP tier
Pixies is great, agree there.

Cool, you're here so I can straight up tell you this.
There is another.
How'd you like to fight Tyson again, but with losing even once booting you back to the start of the circuit?

with soundgarden it's pretty much just "play jesus christ pose then get the fuck out of here"

Ultraman is still king, but you're not wrong here
you know what, I think Undertow is a pretty rad album and I don't really feel bad about saying that
but I refuse to align myself with Tool fans because Tool fans are the worst
Yep.
Dex looks neat, anyone try it yet? I picked up Invisible Inc. which I hope they do another video on, it is super fun so far.

Ok, I'm going all in on you non-nirvana folks by telling you you need to see Montage of Heck.
Nirvana was a moment, it was pretty much 3-4 years of every teenager in the country looking up to a bunch of ragtag misfits from Seattle who never tuned their guitars right and embarrassed the remains of the hair metal excessively glamourous bullshit bands from the 80s by sounded harder than they ever did. The documentary did a really great job of not just capturing Nirvana as they rose from nothing into a moment in time, it's also like discovering a time capsule that either reminds or introduces the viewer to what the late 80s and early 90s were like in the states. Mind you, it doesn't cover the other musical revolution that was coming up through Southern California, that Compton west coast rap era that deserves similar recognition butttttt it's still a documentary worth viewing if only to gather some perspective as to why the band is so well regarded.
If you watch it and still don't like them then find an egg and suck on it.

was montage of heck 90 minutes of "well kurt really liked the melvins"
I have never understood why Tool has always attracted such an angry fan base. It might be the worst fan base of any act out there, in terms of believing that anyone who doesn't like what they like are fucking idiots.

This video is quintessential Nirvana for me. Where they were supposed to play Smells Like Teen Spirit but instead played Territorial Pissings because it was way shorter and they wanted to get the fuck out of there.

I never really had anything against Nirvana (except that I think Nevermind is an overproduced and under-inspired album), but at the time when they were "huge" it's not like they were the only game in town
I'm old enough to have kind of seen alt-rock kind of bubble up from the fringes so Nirvana's appearance wasn't necessarily a life-changing experience, even if their eventual popularity did kind of change the landscape entirely
I'm always impressed how long Vedder, Grohl, and Cornell have stuck around and remained relevant in music. Surely no one would have thought those guys were still selling out arena shows and doing major motion picture soundtracks past the 90s.
Foo Fighters is the most boring rock band ever created though.

it's this perfect storm of music that's technically competent but also accessible. it's dumbass angst music that paraphrases Jung. it's the hard rock equivalent of a community college intro to psych class.
Undertow (and Aenima to an extent) holds up because at that point they hadn't totally dropped the ruse of being a "smart" version of Helmet and it's enjoyable on its own merits as an aggressive hard rock/metal thing
I went to see cornell in 2009 after the release of that album and the live versions of some of those songs were actually pretty good.
Edit: To clarify, that's relative of course. I very much dislike that album.
Does bill discuss the science behind tool being poo

nearly everything
Trent Reznor and Cornell yelling at each other over Twitter was the best thing to come out of that album.

you're close
Even Closer [feat. Justin Timberlake and Maynard James Keenan]
Still Hurts [feat. Alicia Keys]
Pussygrinder [Feat. Sheryl Crow]
Most likely late June or early July after E3 and GB moving floors. That should give them enough time before MGS5 the only delay could come when Dan goes to Ireland before Gamescom if that is still happening.
A Pretty Panda
fuckin' called it, man
Dunston Checks In is on the television
yup. "they're still getting used to their new office" posts incoming
Two floors down in the same building along with Gamespot. No big deal.

Uh, if they get a floor that has cold vending machine, than yeah, it is a big deal. Duh.
Though, what could that mean for the little fridge
I sometimes find Brad's tastes to be more enigmatic than Jeff's but he is getting me excited to play this tonight.
