Nirvana's popularity nowadays is based on the media's portrayal of Kurt Cobain as some God. Because we all know that 90% of the people who actively watch MTV or listen to the radio on a regular basis can not think for themselves. Most of these people who idolize Cobain are 15 year old kids who were practically toddlers when he killed himself. The same people who idolize him are the same fags who listen to Panic at the Disco and My Chemcial Romance. And if Kurt was still alive and he knew his fans were listening to the crap, he'd kill himself all over again.
He is no where near a symbol as a God, pussies who kill themselves should be be pissed on, not worshipped...especially when said person's talent is somewhere above Ashlee Simpson and below Creed.
Metallica on the other hand is a collective assembly of crap. They think they are God's gift to music, but in reality they have not done anything remotely good in 15 years or so. They are basically the Hulk Hogan of music, they drew for so many years, but in the last 10+ years their popularity dropped off. So what did they do? They did everything they could draw attention to themselves (ie: Napster, that movie, suing fans, etc) so they could sell more albums, but it didn't work.
So this is a tie due to the vortex of suckitude that is surrounding both bands.
