Has anyone else noticed this?

The chords in Tourette's (Nirvana; In Utero) are the same as the first four chords in The Sad Punk (Well, a couple of notes lower, but same none-the-less). Either that or I'm hearing things...not sure which..which is why I started this thread...Personally, I imagine Cobain was thinking to himself, "Well I've already ripped the Pixies off in every way imaginable...No one will notice anyways...".

is it possible to censor the words "nirvana, curt, and cobain" on the board and replace them with "twinkie, hamster, and jungle hump"?

Aw come on. Talking about these things is how to deal with our mental problems. It's good and healthy.

I'm sure hamster jungle hump and the members of twinkie would agree.

No, I don't think the two songs are that similar. I do see what you mean about the chord progression similarity....Tourette's is a repetition of that first four-chord part of the song. I was covering Tourette's w/ my band last night, that song is fun fun fun to play! very cathartic
