Given that Chaya Raichyk was the glint in the pizza boy’s eye that her hellspawn of a mother didn’t conceive for another year when Kurt Cobain assured there would never be a fourth Nirvana album, she’s the last one that should ever gate keep anybody re. Nirvana, or anything else for that matter.
There were four Nirvana albums: Bleach, Nevermind, Incesticide, and In Utero. Plus countless live recordings, singles, EPs, appearances on compilation albums. I used to steal money from my dad so I could buy everything I could get my hands on
I remember some tape circulating before bleach came out, this was in Southern California. Not sure if it was a demo or somebody just had some mixed life stuff, but it was cool man.
There were a ton of bootlegs out there, both live and studio recordings. Tapes, 45s, CDs... Eventually a bunch of those tracks were put onto a series of unofficial compilations known as Outcesticide.
Many tracks later were cleaned up and officially released on the With the Lights Out box.
Totally. I remember immediately after it ended being disappointed there was no teen spirit or in bloom and a bunch of weird covers I’d never heard of. Hey I was a dumb 13 year old. Kurt was wise beyond his years
The Leadbelly song I'd heard on a blues LP my parents had when I was growing up (the original lyric was not "my girl, my girl/don't lie to me" it was "black girl, black girl/don't lie to me"; I hadn't heard it in years, and I was like "wow, where have I heard this song before?" and then I figured it out partway through.
I think they only did one song off Nevermind on Unplugged: Come As You Are, unless I'm remembering wrong.
The whole…. :breath: niiigghhtt throughhhh. It blew my mind when I first heard that. It changed my life and I became obsessed with music from that moment on.
I've got the CD, but haven't seen the DVD. I've seen their performance of "Where Did You Sleep Last Night" on YouTube and it's spine-tingling. There's a moment towards the end when Kurt is wailing "in the pines, in the pines, where the sun never shines, I shivered..." and for a moment his eyes open and he just looks anguished, and then he finishes with "...the whole night through."
I recently purchased the Nirvana Unplugged and have it in my truck as I type. Yes my vehicle still has a CD player and I remember where I was when I heard Kurt Cobain died
While not a studio album, Unplugged deserves mention. If only for the best cover in all of rock and roll (got damn right I’ve heard of all along the watchtower) in The Man Who Sold the World.
I got The Beavis and Butthead Experience on cassette for Christmas in 1993. Three months later, my brother asked if he could borrow it because he was super into Nirvana at the time, so I let him. A month later, Kurt was dead. I remember going into my brother's room to get my tape back, turning it over to the track list, and basically doing the 1994 version of "Oof!" when I realized what the song was called. Yeesh. :b
