Smells Like Teen Bootlicker.... Former Nirvana bassist Krist Novoselic Posts An Absolutely Absurd Facebook Post Praising Trump
- Thread starter excelsiorlef
- Start date
Not trying to defend Billy Corgan, but the dude's childhood was pretty rough so I assume all his weird shitstain qualities came from there.
Cool. Would you like to ask Billy what he thinks about Trump?
Jello Biafra maybe? Also, no one will know who I'm talking about but the Japanese musician Takashi Nakagawa from the bands Newest Model and Soul Flower Union is pretty hardcore anti-fascist. Also, they are just on the cusp of 50 but the spanish band Ska-p.

Dave Grohl allowed, for years, promotion of AIDS denial on the Foo Fighters website.
But, he has called Trump an asshole.
I love Nirvana, but it's not surprising that counter culture figures turn like this. Just because he was famous doesn't make him any different.
Think you might want to look up definitions of "literally" and "carbon copy"!
SLTS was supposed to be more a rip off of More Than A Feeling by Boston. Then there's the Killing Joke riff that makes up Come As You Are.
Plenty of other amazing Nirvana songs though, and ones that weren't ripped off/plagiarized - wherever intentionally or not!

"I mean, even wearing medical masks in public can be seen as a political statement!"
Yeah, no, that claim just reeks of idiocy. Willingly not wearing one in public is a statement, yes, I agree, but it is a statement to your level of ignorance and stupidity.

How have I never heard about this, I'm a huge Pumpkins fan........I still like both bands, can't really hear enough of a resemblance though but I'll listen again later
Krist's comment is surprising, pretty sure he was bashing Trump not long ago
Butch Vig working on both makes it much more suspicious than that public dialogue.
Why does every fucknut that voted 3rd party think that they're some enlightened individual that's above partisan politics? You're not a free thinker just cause you voted for a lost cause, you're not a fucking rebel because you choose not to vote.
Liner notes on two of Nirvana's albums and echo the sentiment that Kurt Cobain had said himself.
"If any of you in any way hate homosexuals, people of different color, or women, please do this one favor for us — leave us the f--- alone! Don't come to our shows and don't buy our records."
"If you're a sexist, racist, homophobe or basically an a--hole, don't buy this CD. I don't care if you like me, I hate you."
This was the early 90s so it was very progressive and daring to hold that opinion at that time.

That is really pushing it. The riff is VERY different, it doesn't have the less heavy bits and the melody is completely different.
And I'm someone with a large music collection that has never bought a Nirvana record. It isn't like my favourite band has been insulted. Hell, I've got a couple of Smashing Pumpkins albums kicking around so if anything I am more a fan of them.
A lot of people have rough childhoods. Don't let this be an excuse for shitty political opinions.
He comes off as a guy who just doesn't understand politics.Damn, his Political activism section on Wikipedia is all over the place

Basically linking to a non-profit organisation that disputed links between HIV and AIDS and offering alternative therapies over recognised medical advice.
Yeah, that is legit more than I would have expected. More than Metallica at least, who simply put a generic "We all need to love each other!" message at the start of their Monday night concert stream last night.
Just came in to post this.
Fuck Krist Novoselic. Makes me rethink all of the times Courtney Love talked shit about him, maybe she knew something everyone else didn't.
Also, fun fact: riot grrl icon Kathleen Hanna spray painted "Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit" on his bedroom walls and that's how he got the title.
Greg Graffin from Bad Religion?
Fat Mike from NOFX?
Noodles from Offspring?
He's not quite 50 yet but I have a hard time believing Billie Joe Armstrong will change his views much within the next two years as well.

Yeah most of Pig Face and various related industrial bands are still pretty decent in their old age.

From their Facebook page, it was one of the first to post about it too, as far as I saw.
