Nirvana Source Yes, this is about that Nirvana band which used to feature Kurt Cobain as singer and guitarist. It seems that the band was added to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and with this occasion at the ceremony also attended the former Nirvana members, Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic and Kurt Cobain’s ex-wife Courtney Love and family. Check out below the band’s acceptance speech: Even though the band lost…
Documentary maker Dave Markey has uploaded the footage he shot in December 1993 at Los Angeles’ Great Western Forum – one of the last concerts Nirvana performed. Four months later, Cobain would take his own life. The footage, which you can watch above, includes performances of ‘All Apologies’ and a cover of David Bowie’s ‘The Man Who Sold The World’. Writing about the footage, Markey says: “20 years ago tonight (December 30, 1993) I stood…
Now now, don’t get your hopes up – this isn’t about Nirvana reuniting or something like this – it’s about another band with a Nirvana-like impact. “We meant a lot of different things to a lot of different people,” he told the Guardian. “That’s one of the great things about music. You can sing a song to 85,000 people and they’ll sing it back for 85,000 different reasons.” Dave Grohl went further, explaining that the…
Supergroups are not really a novelty or a shock, but what Dave Grohl is planning is just crazy: he wants to create a group called the Sound City Players, with Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks, Nirvana’s Krist Novoselic and Pat Smear (long time colaborator, Creedence Clearwater Revival’s John Fogerty, Foo Fighters’ Taylor Hawkins, Nate Mendel and Chris Shiflett, Alain Johannes, Chris Goss, Cheap Trick’s Rick Nielsen, Rage Against The Machine drummer Brad Wilk and more (not…
There’s been a lot of discussion lately about the members of Nirvana reuniting with Paul McCartney for a 12-12-12 Hurricane Sandy benefit concert last week. They actually performed a brand new song, “Cut Me Some Slack”, rather than go for any Nirvana or Beatles tracks. They went on to perform Saturday Night Live, which left fans asking a logical question: will they do some more stuff together? According to bass player Krist Novoselic, the answer…
As I was telling you in a previous post, for the Sandy relief concert which took place last night, Nirvana’s Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic teamed up with Beatles legend Paul McCartney in what has to be the most unlikely reunion in years. Kurt and the guys stated on more than one occasion that they are big fans of the Beatles, but who could have guessed something like this would happen? Is it just a…
It’s a last minute bid for “What the hell?!” of the year: Paul McCartney will front a reformed Nirvana at a Hurricane Sandy benefit concert tonight. Both Dave Grohl and Krist Novoselic are joining in, as will Pat Smear who once toured as an additional Nirvana guitarist and now plays the Foo Fighters. With Kurt Cobain openly expressing his admiration for McCartney, this will be as close to a Nirvana reunion as we’ll ever get…
So, just another morning, browsing the internet and all, when I came across this picture. I’m gonna chalk it up to no comment, but seriously, do you remember Nirvana ?
The guy behind American Hardcore: A Tribal History, a book detailing the history of hardcore punk that later spawned a film, has uploaded 24 hours of hardcore punk (911 songs). The set contains all the logical inclusions: D.R.I., Black Flag, Bad Religion, NOFX, and Scream (the band Dave Grohl was in before Nirvana). You can stream any of the 911 songs or download them if you like. Which is what makes this compilation slightly dubious….
Spencer Elden, the kid on the cover of Nevermind, is now 19. He’s a starving artist – of course he is – and, in this candid three-minute interview, admits, “Everyone out there in the world has seen my penis.” In the short piece, Elden explains how the photo shoot went down for the iconic album cover, as well as his own art and style. It’s a good way to spend a few minutes. Nirvana Baby,…
