No Picture Athena-beana-fo Average	#1 by Athena-beana-fo-feena -katrina-gina-go-zeena-fe-fi-fo...ATHENA at Oct 2, 2006 at 8:31 PM EST
	this is a very deep song, the lyrics are great.... for those few people comparing nirvana to metallica, it is just dump the two bands are too different to compare.... metallica and nirvana are my 2 favourite bands, nirvana are just trashy and messy but still alright, and metallica somewhat cleaner in comparison, but musically metallica are better but i like cobain as a lyricist... i dunno most people like one or the other...

No Picture Andy Average	#2 by Andy Quinton at Nov 4, 2006 at 9:02 AM EST
	This song seems to personify the prodigle son. The only difference is that the older brother was in charge, if you will.

No Picture Rhys Average	#3 by Rhys at Jun 27, 2007 at 7:30 AM EST
	for me nirvana is greater.
