Aerozeppelin Lyrics
Some of these lyrics are wrong. here are the lyrics strait from Kurt Cobain: Journals, which is one of the best books ever.
whats a season in a right if you can't have anything whats the reason in a rhyme if a plan means anything whats the meaning in a crime it's a fan if anything wheres a leaning in a line it's a brand it's a brand
how a culture comes again it was all here yesterday and you swear it's not a trend doesn't matter anyways they're only here to talk to friends nothing new is everyday you could shit upon the stage they'll be fans
all the kids will eat it up if its packaged properly steal a sound and imitate keep a format equally not an ode just the facts where our world is nowadays an idea is what we lack it doesn't matter anyways
Just wanted to clear that up. I think this song is about bands that make songs by imitating other bands and making music that will sell records and it's also about music fans that like meaningless, prepackaged music.
Thanks
Thanks
How come incesticide is so overlooked? I listen to this one the most out of all of Nirvana's cds'. It has some really great songs on it, including this one. Check out incesticide if you have'nt!!
KIM04- Totally agree with you. It's sadly overlooked.

Yep, definitely one of the most underrated albums ever. As Allmusic said about the album, it captures the "freewheeling indie spirit" of Nirvana whereas Nevermind, with all due respect to that incredible album, doesn't.

It's more of an album for those Nirvana fans with acquired tastes, compared to your average die hard Nevermind-thumping Nirvana fans that don't really like the more Grunge/metal sound of Kurt's early recordings. I can say that first hand because when I first listened to Nirvana I loved Smells Like Teen Spirit but I shied away from songs like Been a Son and Stain, and so on. But now I can say Incesticide is probably my favorite Nirvana album.

i agree with jabbatron, awesome drums but unfortunately dave grohl did not play them, this is their pre-nevermind, pre-grohl era and chad channing still played drums on this track, check out bleach and incesticide if you haven't already, some of their hardest rocking shit is on those albums
Wasn't Chad either...

This site annoys me, and so do you people who say things that you don't know about. Having an opinion on what it means is one thing, but stating things as facts is just so wrong. If you don't know something, don't say it... You are only misleading people with false information.
First off, the lyrics on the main page are not only very wrong, but they are stupid and they make no sense. Many of them aren't even close. Read the post by "jamiethomas3333" on page 1 who has the lyrics pretty right, and also explains exactly what the song is about.
PuppetStringWorld, You can find the album in lots of places. Use "The Internet".

There is a meaning. Just because you don't know what it means, doesn't mean it has no meaning.
To all you people saying Aerosmith suck, and also this person: by Line on 04-05-2003 @ 05:08:44 PM Well Nirvana was pretty anti cock rock and all that macho shit floating around. Kurt may have liked those bands when he grew up but I doubt he was a fan in his later years. I see this song more as a criticism than a tribute. Of all the bands I remember Kurt having mentioned as an influence I don't ever recall either of Led Zeppelin or Aerosmith mentioned. All I can recall is The Pixies, Vasolines, Black Flag, Black Sabbath.... /end of quote
You don't know Kurt very well then. Aerosmith started out in 1970, as a serious hard rock band, and they stayed like that for many years. The Aerosmith you hear today, doing cheesy ballads for movies and stuff, is not the Aerosmith Kurt is referring to. He is referring to the rock n roll band that all real Aerosmith fans know about. He mentioned them numerous times, he was a big fan, he listed them in his top 100, and there is even a video interview where he talks about going to see them live. As for Led Zeppelin, he worshipped them. He played covers of them in the early days, and you can even find live recordings of Nirvana playing Led Zeppelin songs. I have at least two covers he did, Dazed and Confused, and Heartbreaker. He loved them, they all loved them, and he has talked about them in various interviews.
ac/dc on 05-08-2005 @ 10:22:55 AM chad diddnt play drums, this is their 3rd CD..after nevermind.it was dave grohl /end of quote
Wrong. Did you even buy this album? If you did, open the sleeve and read it.
OpiumForThePeople on 05-18-2005 @ 05:21:43 AM None of the songs on Incesticide are new recordings. Thats waht I meant.
You were right about the first part, but wrong about that bit. Only some of the songs were old songs. The majority were new. Again, read the sleeve. It tells you what is what and from when.
by JosephWolf on 07-02-2005 @ 09:39:22 PM NRIVANA SUCKS. IT'S A TREND. YOU WILL GROW OUT OF THEM. /end of quote
It's now 14 years since the band ended and people still love them, do you STILL think it's a trend? :P
THANK YOU for your post.

@ilikethepixies I'm not entirely sure where you get off saying that guy doesn't know Kurt very well. Kurt said he hated the members of the bands as they were dramatic and sexist and took themselves too seriously, but he did enjoy a lot of their music. I'm not saying you're wrong to say he liked them, I do think you're wrong to say that he worshiped, he's very obviously not someone who is fond of obsessing over celebrities. But he did enjoy their music.

None of us know Kurt, but there's no need to be such a soggy ass cheek...

All the kids will eat it up, if it's packaged properly. like eminem's lyrics...
Pretttty sure Nirvana was out way before eminem dude

sourD, of course whitepoett would know that, he/she's just comparing the lyrics of artists. I think whitepoett has a point.

Personally I think the song is talking about how the society at the times the kids weren't going anywhere. They were just going through life buying what they wanted not thinking about what they should and shouldn't do and what they beleive. Also I don't really know what he means "You could shit up they stage they'll be fans". Most would think Kurt meant that. I don't think he meant they give you shitty music because Im pretty sure Kurt realized music was all oppinionated and beleived in the whole concept of beauty in the eye of the beholder stuff. It could be geared towards just the idea that people get less and less and still put up with it.
This to me appears to be about fads or "trends." Kurt seems to be saying that throughout the 20th and 21st centry people have mindlessly been following trends. He could also be talking about how repetitive history seems and how it's dehumanizing society. Either way, it's still a good song. I'm not sure if my interpretation is correct, but at least it's an attempt, considering that nobody else seems to want to say anything about it.
I think your assessment is probably accurate. Kurt would sometimes write about more than one thing at a time and leave it open to interpretation, but I can totally see what you mean.

i agree too. Its like he's saying"whats the point?" like there's no way of society changing or getting a friggen brain. He was so smart, he knew the world/ pop cultural world would only get worse and if you listen to music on the radio today its nothing. It's like he saw right through it all.

probably not so much the 21st :)

YES! Incesticide is a great album. Hairspray Queen is a really cool song too. Im pretty sure the title of this song comes from 2 of Kurts adolescent favourite bands...Aerosmith and Led Zeppelin???
incesticide is a great albim and every song on that cd is great and has great meaning yea and i also think thats how the name was made.
My fave. album is "In utero" but Insecticide comes in a close secound.
