| --{-(X)-}-- User Info... | blink182(adams song): I took my time, I hurried up the choice was mine I didn't think enough Nirvana(come as you are): Take your time, hurry up The choice is yours, don't be late So blatant, no respect for Blink on this one. What do you guys think? - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 12:48pm | ||
| Pierce User Info... | Maybe they are simply replying to Nirvana's lyrics, could be. But nice eye, or ear to catch that! - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 1:21pm | ||
| Adrenaline Animal User Info... | I think you have way to much time on your hands - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 1:58pm | ||
| Waldo User Info... | Blink 182 are the vanguard of originality. This is clearly a coincidence. - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 1:59pm | ||
| Perpetual_Burn User Info... | He's dead...get over it! - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 2:09pm | ||
| micoll User Info... | "So blatant, no respect for Blink on this one" -as opposed to what? - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 3:51pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | who's nirvana? - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 3:58pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | But Cobain ripped off the main riff for "Come As You Are" from Killing Joke, so I guess fair is fair. :) - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 4:33pm | ||
| Nate User Info... | You're riding that for all its worth aren't yah griphin ;) I think that blink thing is retarded, you can tell they didn't sit there and say "hey i really like it when kurt cobain said ""take your time hurry up the choice is yours don't be late"" its just a coincidence. - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 6:03pm | ||
| METALNECK User Info... | I just listened to an interview with Mr. Cobain and he said that Nirvana was punk but people don't understand what punk truely is. Think on that one for a minute. - Fri, 28 Nov 2003 9:02pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Not really, I just thought it was an interesting point, so I replied with an equally interesting counterpoint. :) There have been numerous examples where artists have borrowed riffs and lyrics and used them in their own work (Led Zeppelin is another example, take a look at the first album and how they blatently copied old blues songs without giving those artists original credit). Besides, Kur(d)t Cobain is one of my guitar heroes. - Sat, 29 Nov 2003 5:37am | ||
| Wreaker of Havoc User Info... | Fuck where do you think Meatlocker Seven got the idea for the song "Smells like Mr. Hell" - Sat, 29 Nov 2003 7:34am | ||
| --{-(X)-}-- User Info... | it can't be a coincidence, too many words fit together - Sat, 29 Nov 2003 7:49am | ||
| josh User Info... | OK, I just did a google search for lyrics to this "adam's song" Sounds to me like the song alludes to suicide. Using cobain lyrics would be fitting. - Sat, 29 Nov 2003 5:44pm | ||
| DogFuck User Info... | The song is about suicide, and I think those lyrics in particular were more of a reference to Cobains suicide. - Sun, 30 Nov 2003 8:14am | ||
| Waldo User Info... | No dude, it's a coincidence. - Sun, 30 Nov 2003 8:36am | ||
| S.V. User Info... | Little Rat Bastards!!!! Kill em! ;) - Sun, 30 Nov 2003 3:06pm | ||
| --{-(X)-}-- User Info... | the suicide reference is interesting...good insight - Mon, 1 Dec 2003 4:10pm | ||
| Hoffa User Info... | Gold star for Josh's comment: "OK, I just did a google search for lyrics to this "adam's song". Sounds to me like the song alludes to suicide. Using cobain lyrics would be fitting" Clearly Josh stayed awake in English class. Allusion is the literary technique where other works of literature, art or historical events are specifically referred to in order to add another layer or a deeper meaning to a given text. This has been a hallmark of Western literature since the middle ages. Blink182's awkward use of the Nirvanna lyric is intentional you can be sure of that. - Tue, 2 Dec 2003 8:17am | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Intentional?!? How so?!? - Tue, 2 Dec 2003 9:55am | ||
| Fred the Dragon User Info... | They are directly replying to Nirvana: N: Take your time / B: I took my time N: Hurry up / B: I hurried up Basically, Blink is explaining itself to Nirvana. It's not copying, it's more like an homage. - Tue, 2 Dec 2003 9:58am | ||
| --{-(X)-}-- User Info... | nice fred, that seems like a good hypothesis to me - Tue, 2 Dec 2003 12:19pm | ||
| ROSS B AY User Info... | when someone else has done it better, then it's alright to steal. - Tue, 2 Dec 2003 2:21pm | ||
| jake User Info... | or maybe, just maybe, blink 182 fucking sucks. - Tue, 2 Dec 2003 3:22pm | ||
| _Griphin_ User Info... | Blink 182 have a few catchy songs, I'll admit to that. - Tue, 2 Dec 2003 10:47pm | ||
| --{-(X)-}-- User Info... | a few good songs, but will never ever been in the same boat as Nirvana - Wed, 3 Dec 2003 7:01am | ||
