Nirvana strategically using their fame to promote other artists that influenced them tells you so much about kurt and about Nirvana as a whole. Kurt - but all of them really - will always be respected by the underground for how strict their morality was when it came to how to approach being famous in the music industry. I believe that they never "sold out" and in utero is a perfect example of that.
I saw Nirvana at the Club Soda in Kalamazoo Michigan in the fall of 1989. Fantastic show forever etched in my mind! After their set Kurt walked through the empty dance floor of that small club and I stopped him to say how much I loved the show. There were maybe 20 people there. We talked for a bit and I sang him one of my songs. Unbelievable!!
I just miss Kurt but I still listen to his music on a regular basis always have always will
Jerry Springer was Nirvana’s manager?
People forget that Jane’s Addiction and the Pixies were the american alt rock standard bearers prior to Nirvana breaking
I liked how butch vig talked about nevermind. He put the tape on at his BBQ. everyone shut up and listened. when the tape was done, no one said anything, then "can you play it again?" and they again shut up and listened. they knew, as music lovers, what a great album it was.
He left us 26 years ago. I miss his music. Kurt Cobain, never forgotten ❤️❤️❤️
The book should be called "Milk It"
People shit on this guy for milking Nirvana but take a step back and realize if it wasn’t for this guy and others we wouldn’t have the records and the stories, so lighten up
Kurt always told people not to read too much into his lyrics. He said his song lyrics never really had an in depth explanation. I found that extraordinary.
"Krist is in the DNA code of Nirvana in every way' I love that!
This guy look like mrs doubt fire
So many antisemitic comments on here: you’re the types of people who Kurt and Nirvana detested. Get a hobby that doesn’t involve hating people.
Kurt said in the about a son documentary(I think) something about nirvana's followers calling them sellouts when they first signed. Screw worrying about being a "sell out." They did their own thing and made some of the most unique music you'll ever hear. And they signed record deals and got famous. Nobody on earth is going to turn down a record deal or a lot of money because somebody back home is gonna call them a "sell out"
I don't know why people are making such a big deal of this. Of course Kurt wanted to be successful, but not in the way most people think. He he wanted to do great music and art and have recognition for it and be able to make a living, meeting great artists... well, basically just have his talent recognized. But he wasn't interested with everything that was involved with being famous. I mean, the public persona and everything.
Appreciate sharing the experiences!
The mention of Stevie Nicks' Bella Donna album made me remember how much I loved the duet she did with Tom Petty (R.i.P.) "Draggin' My Heart Around" which was featured on that album!! I never owned a copy of that album, but my exposure to that song was via the video for it which was on major rotation back in M-TV's first year when they only had a relative handful of videos to play per-day and was a regular feature over the years to come. That collaboration featured amongst the best male and female vocalists in the mainstream Rock genre at that time, and their combined performances on that song were complimentary to, and well-matched with, one another -- both for authentically delivering the tone of the subject matter in the lyrics and for the musical arrangement around their vocal performances.
All these vids remind me of a Buzz Osborne quote about Kurt : " He found himself surrounded by the worst people on earth."
That was wonderful, thank you for sharing.
I believe it was Steve Albini who said that everyone associated with the band were complete pieces of shit when he recorded in utero in 1993. He said the Nirvana guys were awesome guys but everyone else around the band, the label, management, agents, etc were all corporate dog shit.
