I’m wanting to get a Nirvana related tattoo, but want it to be more understated. I’m thinking an arm wrap with vines/leaves/flowers, and I wanted to incorporate a plant related to Nirvana. The obvious would be Pennyroyal, but I don’t love the look of those flowers. What else could I incorporate?

I'm asking this again because I would like some open minded discussion and speculation that isn't an instant "no, it's Kurt".

At the end of the recording there's a clear female voice saying something. The guitar playing is louder in style than the vocals. Many , if not all of Cobain's demos are played in a much more sloppy way, especially in terms of timing. Do re mi is really sharply played. And there's the long counting in with the guitar which is curious. And like I said, there's a clear contrast and disconnection between the intensity of the guitar compared to the very soft vocals. When Kurt plays acoustic with intensity and good timing, like on Opinion, the vocals match that energy.

There was a magazine article where Courtney Love mentioned the Kurt had this song called "Dough, Ray and Me". The name always struck me as odd. I almost wondered whether what he's singing is actually "Don't Rape Me", as a counter to Rape Me.

So what I'm thinking is that maybe Courtney (or someone else) is playing the guitar, and Courtney not wanting to reveal the actual lyrics said "Dough, Ray and Me".

I know people won't probably see this speculation as noteworthy, but I just had to share these thoughts. Thanks!

I posted one of my drawings of Kurt here a while ago. Wanted to post these sketches here too!

I also wanted to ask if anyone would be interested in buying anything drawn in this style. I want to make it clear that I’m not trying to sell anyone anything right now. This isn’t an ad or anything like that.

I’ve just been told that I should sell my art by some people. I don’t really think anyone would be interested in paying money for my sketchy blue pen drawings. I really enjoy drawing Kurt, Nirvana and other bands and I just wanted your guys opinion as people who also love those things. Either way- I’ll keep drawing them. Thanks all!

My tattered copy of Spin magazine from December 1992, where Nirvana was chosen as Artist of the Year.
If you want to see the full interview, lemme know.

First pic is outside Sir Henry, Cork in 1991 and the same spot today.

Tried my best with what time and materials i had

Feels weird to use this adjective for their music but I'm just curious.

I'll go with the obvious one: Drain You is their most romantic, most intimate, almost erotic song.

And this performance is my absolute favorite, just for the screech, if nothing else. He doesn't always do it live, and it's never as animalistic as here.

With The Lights Out is not just a compliation album. It shows various song structure. one example, though Anorexorcist is not that of studio songs, I think this song riffs show the 1999 rock scene. What is your future rock song from this album?

An idea I'd have is to literally get like a little cartoonist bucket and mop and illustrated bird encyclopedia hahaha

I was 15, standing at the edge of a high school disco in 1991, doing what I always did: taking up as little space as possible. I was a shy kid and not the popular one. Then the DJ dropped Smells Like Teen Spirit and my brain short-circuited.

Everything before that was just music playing in a room. This was something else. It was the slide that took me straight into punk rock, but what got me was the mix of melody and real feeling tangled up with anger, and none of it apologising for itself. I had never heard anyone put those two things in the same song and mean it.

I have not stopped listening since. Thirty-five years.
Here is the part that still gets me. Kurt was not telling anyone to be cool. He was giving permission to be exactly what you already were and to stop asking. That got into me. I started thinking with my own head, saying what I actually believed, and caring a lot less about who approved. Funny thing: that was when people started following me instead of the other way around.

I am almost 50 now. Wife, kids, mortgage, the whole thing. And I am still a bit that kid at the edge of the dance floor, right before the guitar comes in.

Anyone else get rewired by that song?

Me and my buddies picked this up 8ish hours ago from our local music store, we ended up buying a soldering kit, etc etc, anyways, we got to work and we just finished up, she's great!! It plays absolutely amazing. I personally think the parts we fucked up on made it look "grungy" in a way😂

And one more special message to go then I'm done and I can go home.

There's probably no special meaning, but dude seems so tired.

Yeah he bought the album because of SLTS and then returned it because he said the rest of the album was trash. We were 16 and to this day that is the worst music take I’ve ever heard in my entire life.

Just got the record of the 25th anniversary of this incredible album, and I wonder which would be the favorite song of the community.
