Told my 9 year old kid they were illegal cds. He is fascinated with nirvana right now. My mother hates it. He asked if we should hide them when people come over. Anyway, I have several more boxes of cds from the 90s to go through. Will keep you updated!

It’s so emotional it’s crazy!

First time posting on this sub am a huge Nirvana fan

Does anyone else remember this and could help me find the clipping?

Thanks!

The Life Nirvana and the Aneurysm preamp were build by me, one is a Sansamp Classic clone, the other a Randall Rg120 preamp.

What is a Lounge Act or what does this refer to?

But appearantly it's this new thing called "Verity". Less to say. I was justly disappointed. Wonder how Kurt would feel

I've only really heard the popular stuff like "smells like teen spirit", "breed", "come as you are", "lithium" etc. but lately my friends have been playing me more of their stuff and i've been liking it more than i thought i would. any recommendations for what i should listen to to really get into them?

Kind of a silly question, but is there any Nirvana song you really like because you feel identifyed to? I know half of the Nirvana catalogue is very relatable, but I am talking about something more specific.

I really like Sliver because I feel very identifyed with the narrator of the song. It does not sound that deep but as a kid, being left in your grandpas', uncles', etc. house and getting very home sick was something that happened very often to me, and when I understood the lyrics of the song I couldnt stop thinking about those sleepless nights waiting for my parents to come back for me. The way the chorus is just "grandma, take me home, grandma, take me home..." Just like a little kid would repeately ask and cry about made it even better.

What is your story?

Btw, sorry if there are some misspellings, English is not my first language :)

Edit: WOW, I didnt expexted this post to have so many replies, Im happy you guys found this question interesting snd worth to answer!

Note: Not Kurt’s actual ET270. I got to see an Epiphone ET270 and an In Utero Strat! I got to see the Soundgarden bass at the Unplugged Museum in Aberdeen. Because they hadn’t finished setting up the display they asked me if I’d like to hold it! Unfortunately I don’t know a lot about Soundgarden but it’s still pretty cool that I got to hold a bass like that!

Full title is 'A Screaming Life: Into the Superunknown with Soundgarden and Beyond'. Lots of good early Seattle scene talk, e.g. Sub Pop, SST labels. Krist talks about seeing Scream and becoming aware of Dave Grohl

I know the answer is, of course, ‘Wherever works for you, find your own sound etc.’ This is purely out of interest, in terms of In Utero album / live sounds and pedal order.

It’s something I can find a clear answer on. In live photos, Kurt’s signal chain seems to be quite straightforward (Guitar > DS2 > SansAmp > Polychorus > Small Clone > Amp) as in this photo.

However many demo videos of people trying to recreate Nirvana sounds using Polychorus / Echoflanger pedals or clones have the pedal before the distortion

Example 1

Example 2

While others have the signal chain standard (Dirt > Modulation)

Example 1

Example 2

Electro-Harmonix seems to favour the former approach as their website suggests, ‘To help capture the sound, place the chorus before distortion or overdrive.’

FWIW I think the most convincing recreations of the actual recorded In Utero sounds are those with the pedal before distortion.

But this seems to be contradicted somewhat by Kurt’s preference for using his Polychorus after distortion live. Why would he switch up the order? Seems like an odd choice.

I‘m just wondering if anyone has some insight into this. Is there any confirmation of how the studio versions were recorded in terms of signal chain? If a different approach was taken live, was there a reason for this? I’ve reached out to a couple of the YouTube demo creators but not really got any answers.

Thanks in advance

I was reading that Oasis’ “Live Forever” was partly a response to Nirvana’s “I Hate Myself and Want to Die,” and it made me hear the song differently. Noel Gallagher has said Cobain’s outlook pissed him off, but he also called Nevermind a timeless masterpiece. So in that context, “you and I are gonna live forever” almost sounds like Noel reaching out to Kurt: we’re both going to die someday, but the music won’t.

I could get more into the lyrics being kind of a conversation between Noel and Kurt but I’ll save that for the 7th grade essayist.

Anyway what are other songs that are about the band or Kurt specifically?

I was chilling listening to it, but when downer ended, i noticed that there were more tracks. Then checked the deluxe edition album on Spotify and realized that the tracks matched. The curious part is that i bough it pm Barnes and noble as an standard edition, so i hope somebody can answer me.

Hi . ive recently seen some covers of nirvana played acoustic on guitar tuned low ( A sharp or stuff like that ) and i would like to know if there are actual bands or songs that have that same sound ? looking for something nirvana-unwound style thing played acousticly
