Both came out of the same scene. One a wasted life, the other relatively well adjusted and just an all around cool guy. What happened?

He accomplished a lot in 27 years, wasn't too wasted. I still look at Dave as "the drummer for nirvana". May have came from the same scene, but he lived a totally different lifestyle.

Sometimes it seems like some people are just born to die.

One, talented.

Not really. Grohl is from Ohio and played in Scream out of Washington D.C.

He operated in the Seattle grunge scene for only about three years.

Kurt Cobain's depression told him that death would bring happiness he could never find on earth.

Now you ask, how could a young, successful, highly acclaimed artist believe his life was so hopeless that only death could bring peace of mind?

Well, that's what depression does to your perceptions.

One had an illness and a messed up upbringing and the other didn't (at least that we know of). GTFO

I don't know what happened to separate them in life, but I can tell you that they both suck and their music is annoying

Grohl seemed to enjoy the ride that nirvana was on. Where cobain resented their success.

Cobain was 100x the songwriter and musician that Grohl will be ever be. Cobain was probably a better drummer too.

One made interesting, raw, and punk inspired music.

The other is a commercially oriented self promoter who's been exploiting his connection to the first one for 20 years.

David Eric Grohl is the better of the two.

Time has a way of distorting things.
