Nirvana Greatest Hits - coming soon


Recommended Posts

Nirvana was my gateway band. They are the reason I am obsessed with music. So yeah, I know a lot of random shit about Nirvana. Haha. And my love for Nirvana is one of the reasons I love Foo so much. I've been listening to Foo since '95 I think, and Nirvana since about '93. I was only 6 or 7 when I hear 'Smells Like Teen Spirit' for the first time. Two decades later, and all their music just gets better, and better with age. The older I get, the better their music gets. I love it.

 

 

I used to get super focused on just one band and listen to almost nothing but them for months until I got burned out. Did that with Nirvana and it took years but I got burned out and now every once in a while I can listen to them a lot for a while. I do this with all my favorite bands really. Take breaks, then its awesome again when I'm ready. I still revisit G n' R sometimes and listen to all their albums.  Can't wait to hear about that one... they do sound pretty amazing on good headphones.  :) They were the band I was obsessed with before Nirvana. Before that I was into pop music..  :P

I have a copy, and it's pretty damn good. A lot better then the first batch of Paramount BluRays (audio wise). Haha.

How's the sound on these? I almost got one when they were released, but decided not to since I'm skeptical of bootlegs.

I was explaining that to a friend recently - the more time passes, the more I appreciate this band.

I was this way too. My dad bought me the guitar tab book for Nevermind, and the CD, when I was 10 and I didn't think much of it, but as years passed I have come to truly appreciate everything they've done. SmashPump was the same way for me. In all fairness, my dad bought me a copy of Machina 1 as my first SP CD, after being used to all the Mellon Collie stuff I grew up with on the radio. I was like....huh?! One of my favs now though.

Like Allen said, as a whole it is a great copy. There are a few spots where it gets a little "loud", but all in all it is definitely worth picking up. The packaging is well done, and the gate is nice and thick. Plus the discs are pretty heavy, and a nice transparent dark blue.

Short story time:

 

One time I was touring for Kids In The Hall doing merch (random, I know). One of the guys told me a story how he went to a Nirvana show, and Kurt called him out because he was such a fan of Kids In The Hall. Kurt then invited him back stage, and gave him his number. Apparently he told him that Kids In The Hall was one of the reasons he wore dresses on stage.

 

Kurt was supposed to be going to Kids In The Hall show like within the next week from when he passed.
The day it happened Scott was about to call him to see if he was still coming when he turned on the news.
I got chills talking to him about it.

 

I just talked to a guy who still has Kurt's number. It was a little haunting.
