I was listening to the box set yesterday (first time listening to Nirvana in months) and remembered exactly why I fell in love with them in the first place~

^Yeah that happened to me last week but I haven't listened to any Nirvana since.

SY is going to be my first show, I'm finally going to see them this fall.

^ lucky bastard. why dont they ever come here???

anyway yes motorhead was cool, i even cought that guys guitar pick

I'm going to see them too. When I heard they were coming to Milwaukee I nearly shit myself~

Check out Fear Factory's version of School on Archetype......it rules.

i only found out about this today, sorry if it's been posted before.

Nirvana’s 1992 Reading Set Debuting as CD/DVD in November

My first concert was Ozzy Osbourne.

First time I saw a pair of tits, too.

My first was Motorhead. I went with my guitar teacher and I was 12 I think.

wow some old quotes in here from before i got banned.



embarrassing.

cool cool exact same, never heard anything decent then heard nirvana and was obsessed with them for a year, through them heard of sonic youth which has been my favourite band ever since of coure, and through sy learned of all other cool music. tried to play guitar for about a year but got annoyed with myself, was fun though while it lasted.
now dont really listen to them much except 'here she comes now' i love that song, and the in utero version of all apologies.
used to have the live tonight sold out video and had tried unsuccessfully to get hold of the year punk broke, reading this thread has prompted me to think aha yes now there is youtube!!! so just watching it all now, pretty cool

"if we could just turn some people on to different things.. thats sort of like our mission." Krist Novoselic

"you know more people smoke marijuana in the united states than voted for George Bush, think about it"




Nirvana is one of the last great, mainstream rock bands to be having actual fun and to be laced with such potent sarcasm.. I miss that in rock music. where is the fun?

My first show was when my mom took me to see Blue Oyster Cult when I was 2 or 4 or something like that.

HAHAHA.

That's one of the funniest things I've ever said, I don't even remember saying it.

Decent band, LOVE "Muddy Banks" and a lot of their lesser known songs.

Why is this in Non-Sonics? I entered this thread expecting karmic enlightenment, you sick fucks.

i still lovelovelove them. after all these years.

BLANDEST!

My favourite one is 'Dive'.

i've been listening to them this week for the first time in a long time because of the favourite nirvana song thread on the non sonic sounds board.
nirvana got me into rock music when nevermind came out. i became totally obsessed with them, when kurt cobain killed himself i was so distraught i could barely talk to anyone for about a week.
when i listen to their music now it still bums me out that he killed himself, i just wonder about what the music he would have made were he still around would be like, probably great.

"Nirvana" hasn't meant that in 18 years.

I had forgotten what a cool kid demonbox is. Well i hope he didnt top himself like kurdt. NIRVANA ROCKED!

does anyone know where i can download the book from with the lights out? scored the set at the pawnshop but without the book, the torrents i've found don't include it

my thoughts about nirvana
i can't believe how it ended
alot of people angry about this an that

on the other hand
nirvana as what the word means
has nothing to do with a deathdrag

in life there is only continue

i explain this with my words
and i'm not responsible for how it got translated in your mind

its shite even without a mind to translate it.

listening to music and enjoying it
that's what music is about
and having a good time

gast30 and kinn are trolls

at least half are floatingsorely

you're in a sensitive mood phradley

for the rest i don't have much to say about nirvana or sonic youth
that's why i always post in the non sonics

i buy a vinyl and listen to music that is my spending money
for the rest i live alone like a hermit
what i have to tell, nothing much

Drain You came on my Zune the other day driving to work, so that was pretty sweet.

Pulled from my blog. Pretty much covers the most important aspects of my love for Nirvana:

Fifth grade will forever be burned/scorched/branded somewhere directly in the center of my skull. That year marked some significant changes...changes that without any shadow of doubt would forever alter the person I would become. Personal circumstances that took place before that year, + a sudden change of pace from utter chaos (in the RED!) to something a bit more stable left me, well, slightly pissed and confused about virtually everything around and within me. Puberty probably didn't help matters much either, but certain details shall be spared. I'll just say that despite the anger + confusion, there was also a great deal of frustration...+ that will be left @ that.

I began some sort of "voyage" that year in hopes of something/anything that would make sense to me + I found it via the most intense (! ! !) drug I've ever encountered...music. An Uncle began letting me borrow CD's (and sometimes even cassettes...this was '93-'94) by artists w/ names like Soundgarden/Nirvana/+ White Zombie. I dug them all, but Nirvana hit a very specific nerve. I felt as if I understood this music, and the strange part was, I felt it understood me, too. I vividly remember looking forward to going to bed. Bedtime meant laying under bundles of blankets, ears sore from earphones blasting Nevermind.

Kurt also died that year. How convenient. I think this fact led to me taking his music much more seriously...I mean, clearly at least some of the emotions he was displaying weren't just theater. Somewhere along the line...maybe 8th or 9th grade, I became obsessed w/ Kurt C., the individual. Reading/saving/collecting any scrap interview/book I could find. Seeing names like "Sonic Youth", "Black Flag", + "Butthole Surfers" being dropped. I had to check out these other artists...not long after everything was full blown punk rock...AND...something else....

If I loved those Nirvana guys because I COULD understand, over the course of time I began to love Sonic Youth because I COULD NOT! They were an open invitation to all things weird. Cheap speakers spitting mystery all over my walls, covering everything in sonic goo(p). They began to open doors (that in turn would occasionally open other doors) to ideas + forms of art/music I may not have considered otherwise. Fucked up French cinema + free jazz. Walt Whitman + Phillip K. Dick. Noise and a sense of freedom to create anything I want, anyway I want. INSTANT COMPOSITION! Something about the Youth made it easy for me to accept anything as being art, even if it happened to be art I couldn't dig.

If Nirvana was me searching for answers, Sonic Youth was me growing up a bit + accepting the fact that answers aren't always there. There is a very specific strand of beauty that can come with "NOT knowing". Just leaving one's mind open to all things (im)possible.



Whatever....

To quote a friend: "Nirvana taught me about passion, Sonic Youth taught me about freedom". < Couldn't have said it better myself.

It's 5:03 am, and to be quite honest I can't remember where I intended to go with any of this...just a rant for rant's sake. I've grown bored with it. My audits running + my thoughts have shifted towards going home, drinking a beer, and crawling in bed w/ my GF.

Again, whatever....





Stay Free,

fucking puke.

krut curbone is burning in a pit in hell for eternity, and there is a needle filled with a delicious dose of heroin dangled in front of him constantly, but as soon as he grabs it it turns into a laptop with nothing but swa's posts about him on the display. no matter how hard he types he can't remove swa's posts from the screen, eventually he throws the laptop away in disgust, and it turns into a needle again. ad infinitum.

nirvana is pure brilliance and they were still in the "growing" process in the point of songwriting.if kurt had not killed himself this would not have been even the start of it

and their song catalogue includes the best riffs ever
