Comments on: KRIST NOVOSELIC WONT LET COURTNEY LOVE COMPLETELY RUIN NIRVANA’S LEGACY

While I haven’t listened to much (if any) Nirvana in recent years, I still consider myself an avid fan because that’s what I grew up with. I was only 4 years old when Kurt Cobain died, but my mother filled the house with his music since before my earliest memories. I grew up being surrounded by the musical embraces of Nirvana, Alice In Chains, Black Sabbath (mainly the self-titled album), and Living Colour. It is to people like Kurt Cobain that I owe my fucking life (however ironic that may be). I still have his posters on my wall and every goddamn album (both CD and vinyl) in my possession and I will likely never part with them. The man deserves to be remembered for his musical genius, and whether Krist makes a pretty penny or two out of it in the process bothers me not. He obviously IS doing it for Kurt, because unlike Courtney fucking Love, he doesn’t have three separate houses in Hollywood, New York City, and London. He lives in a quiet suburban area with a three bedroom house with his family. He’s balding writer and activist. Not a pill-popping, star-killing whore.

Nirvana sucks and Cobain is just a dead asshole who could hardly play his instrument. …[puts in Dirt]

I can’t wait to hear what the re-master sounds like. If any Nirvana album needed this treatment, it’s “Bleach.”

Yea, I was 11 at that point, and let me tell you, that period of 5 years or so was freaking magical with the amount of really good music I was becoming exposed to. I suppose 11 year olds during any era in the last 50 years or so may have felt the same way when discovering new genres or musical pathways, but when rock/metal was “new” to me, I look back on those years with great nostalgia.

That’s a bit of revisionist history. Soundgarden was already on a major label and opening for GN’R at the end of 1991. ‘Man in the Box’ was getting MTV airplay and AIC were opening the Clash of the Titans tour before Nirvana broke. Once Nirvana exploded, marketing execs realized they were all from the same city and opted to promote them under the buzz word “grunge.” Undoubtedly it helped the other bands sell a lot of records but Soundgarden, AIC, and Pearl Jam too would’ve been around regardless.

I have always been a “casual” fan of Nirvana and always thought about getting more into them. I think this reissue is just the excuse i needed…

I never was a fan of Nirvana, but I think that was more of a childish angst “hate whatever is popular, only listen to Pantera” mode I was in at the time when Nirvana was at the height of their popularity, after Cobain exited the scene.
I must say that all the positive praise of this album has me interested enough, at least, to pick it up and give it a spin.

and I hate everything Courtney Love, just felt like putting that out there.

i kind of feel the same way but maybe for an entirely different reason altogether. i still listen to some songs occasionally but it just isn’t the same now. maybe because my teenage angst fizzled out and the ‘thrill is gone’, as bb king would have put it. i don’t have bleach (shame on me) so i’m looking forward to this one.

yes, the black album, and Nevermind are probably the most important albums of mid ninety´s, and they got me into rock music too

One of my favourite bands of all-time. Interested to hear the Oregon tracks :)

I’ve been going through the process of rebuilding my nirvana import/bootleg collection (all of my cd’s were stolen in college. Only took me ten years to get off my ass and start over) and I’ve found myself being more interested in the bands early output. It’s heavier, sludgier, and weirder than I remember. Outside of “about a girl” and portions of “love buzz” bleach is a heavy fucking record. I’m picking this one up on vinyl when it comes out and blasting it at full volume. For old times sake.

Meh, I used to like Nirvana’s early work somewhat. I would have to say that Bleach is in fact my favorite album of theirs. I’m just not much of a fan anymore.
