Nirvana’s MTV Unplugged

[dangermows]

Perhaps not, some still believe he was murdered - I'm not so sure tbh.

Nuggets.

 

[luvulongtime]

You know, I mourn the loss of the music Nirvana gave us, we'll never hear the like of again and it's such a f***ing shame.

ffs

 

[NewAdventuresInWiFi]

Yay, page 3 & the Courtney dunnit stuff starts.

That Nick Broomfield documentary was a canny watch mind.

"You either die a hero or you live long enough for Courtney Love to shoot your ass dead"

My first ever festival was 92. His f***ing drummer is one of the biggest rock stars on the planet and even he refuses to do his shit. f***ing love the guy.

 

[look out piano]

ffs

Shurrup man, you know I have good taste, I love soul music and a bit of the blues too .

Eh ?

 

[Tadger]

Didn't he say being a dad was a reason for doing himself in. Something to do with him not be able to bear the thought of a child being innocent and perfect being born into a corrupt and imperfect world?

Whatever you think of his music, he was a right f***ing fanny wasn’t he.

Eh ?

Reading festival 1991 was my first festival and seen them and I'd only ever heard a few songs.... Reading 1992 they headlined!!!! Special times

Aye. He was the first to admit it tbf.

Lucky bastard.

He was a deep fella, blighted by depression and heroin addiction.

 

[offshore]

Aye.


Lucky bastard.

It seems funny now but in 1991 they were almost unknown in the UK an so far down the listing. I don't know if time has made it better but I think it was a bit shit to be honest. Then over the next few months they got huge!!

Only cobain could look cool as fuck in a homeless mans cardi

Cardis were always the cool mans choice through the 80s and early 90s

 

[conrad]

Went to see elvana last year at the academy and they were proper class. I Hadn’t listened nirvana properly since been a youngin but when you hear those songs played through a live rig you can’t help but just lose your shit
All apologies is a masterpiece like

 

[Good Bloke Fairly]

Greatest live performance of all time, a rival to Queen at Live Aid 1985.

I took his picture once, nice headshot!

Superb band. Probably went out at the right time too. The music scene is still alive and kicking mind, it's just you got older and the music business has changed (so there won't be another movement or band "kicking down the door") .

Mind, Nirvana weren't exactly original and clearly 'borrowed' from the likes of Pixies. Still brilliant though.

When bands made it, they made it. Full national attention. New music styles changed the world.

Those days have gone.

 

[Summer Bee]

The first band I properly got into as a young 'un. This performance and set list was phenomenal

 

[Dave Herbal]

That should be on his headstone

His half a head stone?

If Kurt had lived they would have only gotten bigger IMO, they appealed to the masses.

I don’t think they did in the way you think though. Ask man in the street to name 3 nirvana songs and they probably can’t. I was the right age and demographic (student indie rock kid) at the time but I didn’t explore them beyond a taped copy of Nevermind. I’ve still never listened to Bleach or Incesticide.

Lithium for example has 168m listens on Spotify. For a release that is nearly 30 years old, that a lot of people will own on cd shows how big they are/were

Aye but that’s what I mean. Millions of people bought Nevermind - a lot of them just cos it was fashionable - but didn’t listen to anything else by them.
