People come out of the woodwork saying they're a HUGE fan when a famous person dies. It's like their fanbas triples overnight. So then I guess a better way to phrase the wuestion would be...whose death made more people do that? |

.....What about it? I cant like two genres of music? I think he meant E made a bigger impact than both Kurt and Freddie. Yup. |

I don't like either, but I can at least listen to Kurt's music. |

I would say in terms of AIDS, Ricky Wilson dying was worse, because when he died, The B-52's were just a couple of years away from superstardom and have never been quite the same band they were with him, they can never get the guitar sound just right. Freddie died when Queen had been at it for over 20 years.
But really, in terms of deaths shocking me, Heath Ledger's or Steve Irwin's were worse because they were both such massive shocks, they were both at the height of their careers more or less. And Dimebag's, while I am not really a massive fan of Pantera, opened our eyes to the realities of gun crime, shockingly whilst the band were still in concert.
Nirvana are only famous because of what Kurt did, I swear if he was still alive they would not be remembered so strongly. The sole good thing to come out of it, was the Foo Fighters.

I still don't see how a man dying is influential? Often funny, but never influential. Kinda like Heath Ledger?!?  |

Anyone who said they can listen to Nirvana and not Queen should emulate their idol and shoot themselves.

Cobain easily. Just look at the entire post grunge scene after 1994. So many derivitive bands: Bush, Silverchair, Nickleback, Puddle of Mudd, Seether, Future leaders of the World, Threee days Grace, etc, ect. Yet Bush is the only band I can listen to out of all those. |
