Oh shit no.

Dude's bass playing was fantastic in Nirvana; simple but really effective.


Yeah, I love his bass playing. Though the parts themselves were relatively easy to play, they were crafty--he would go from following Kurt on the root note to following him on another note within the chord, all the while creating a free-standing riff that resolved itself in its own way. The "Lithium" bassline is a good example of this. Very beboppy in theory, if not in execution.

For years I've heard people criticize his bass playing--I always suspected it's because he just looked like such a big doofus bouncing around onstage.

That Lithium bassline is half the reason that song comes across as poppy as it does.

Combinations of "Rape Me" and Beatles songs could be a thread unto itself.

Honey Don't Rape Me
Love You To Rape Me
Please Mr. Postman, Rape Me
Roll Over Beethoven (and Rape Me)
Don't Let Me Down, Rape Me
