Yes, it was.
Actually, it wasn't.
Kurt said that in an interview with Guitar World or some other magazine with Guitar in the title and he was speaking specifically about Nirvana.

I will bet you $10 that this was on the cover of a SPIN magazine, and not a quote from Cobain.
I will mail you a check if I am wrong. It will not bounce!

One of you two are either getting the qoute mixed up or combining multiple quotes into one. The Kurt Cobain quote is "I think we sound like The Knack and the Bay City Rollers being molested by Black Flag and Black Sabbath."

If you discount the existence of a genre called "grunge", then y'know, enjoy rewriting history. If you acknowledge the existence of a genre called "grunge", they were kinda one of the main archetypes, werent' they? I mean, sure, Mudhoney (who never got big) were, moreso. Okay. But weren't Soundgarden a band that was a bit of a measuring stick, unlike a Stone Temple Pilots or other band that was a "these guys sound like that grunge stuff that everybody is into nowadays" sort of thing?
I sit corrected.

I should have written, "Soundgarden were kinda one of the main archetypes of a genre called 'grunge.'"

Well, in all fairness, one of my favourite bands from the American midwest does
a brilliant cover of "Slaves and Bulldozers" on the otherwise mediocre
Black Days: The Midwest Movement Tribute To Soundgarden CD.

Judging from the amount of posting you've done on this thread, Faiz, i'd conclude that your feelings are slightly more than "whatever." Why such an axe to grind?
