Why are Americans such pussies?

I agree, but Inspiral Carpets were at minimum a B-list Madchester band, if not A-list

Kurt was actually homeless for a while.

There's a world of difference between suffering as a hard and almost inescapable fact of life(as represented by Oasis) and suffering as a temporary lifestyle choice(as represented by much of the grunge scene).
An escape from underprivileged, dead-end existences was nigh-on unfathomable for the members of Oasis. An escape from underprivileged, dead-end existences for the average grunge band was as simple as getting a haircut and getting a job.

Buzz Osbourne has stated that Cobain's homeless period was complete made-up horseshit(as were many other "tragic" bits in his biography).

What's more Oasis took over the country as well as many parts of the world all through an indie record label and then through their own label.

didn't buzz from the melvins work at kmart? that's pretty soul-sucking
>>
>>74770107
Buzz has always had a similar work ethic and outlook to someone like Noel though. As much as you'd think there'd be a massive cultural void between them, I'd imagine they'd probably get along alright if you put them in a room together.

>>74770212
I can actually see that happening to most of the members of Melvins just in general, honestly.

wish liam had sung that unplugged show, apparently he came on towards the end and wanted to sing but they didnt let him
