Was there a more pretentious rocker than Kurt Cobain?

I think not. The guy took an average band and made them famous by being pretentious.

Then he killed himself and the band really took off.

Well, the band became what he despised. It’s not unusual. People that are critical of something often commit the same acts soon after in the real world, myself included. Not unusual for celebrities either. Howard Stern is a prime example.

In what way was Elvis pretentious? Really interested to hear examples.

A certain other band member is probably more famous now with his new band...

Is this a bad troll thread you meant to start on the music board?

Eddie Vetter may actually be more pretentious. Cobain’s perceived pretentiousness was probably more straight up mental illness.

Now you want to talk pretentious I submit one Eddie Vedder. He’s the Bono of grunge.

More the case that others, critics and Courtney Love and to a lesser extent Dave Growler created that pretentiousness more than Cobain who was fukked up most of the time.

Foo Fighters are a good band, but Grohl, et al gets a lot of adulation that he does not deserve
