I've always found the 20th anniversary editions to be superior than the 30th anniversary editions, I've tried to find the in utero one but I couldn't find any

Nirvana Related Credit To The Nation - Call It What You Want (1993) British Hip-Hop Band Sampled Smells Like Teen Spirit ILLEGALLY but Kurt Cobain Said NO PROBLEM ! He Even Gave His Blessing.

Eventually the sample was cleared AFTER THE BAND SIGNED TO ONE LITTLE INDIAN LABEL IN THE UK. Originally when Teen Spirit was used for the song, it WAS. NOT CLEARED AND IN INTERVIEWS, CREDIT TO THE NATION SAID KURT COBAIN GAVE HIS BLESSING.

THE SONG BECAME an underground anthem and British DJ JOHN PEEL picked it up and played on his radio show.

This is really a piece of music history.

Please do your research on this song and what Kurt Cobain said when asked about Credit To The Nation using Teen Spirit riffs.

Stop accusing me of making this story up !

Discussion Nirvana Alternate History - Sub Pop Sound Forever???

Post image
13 Upvotes

It is July 1990 and Nirvana's record label wants a sophomore record to the successful "Bleach" and on November 16th 1990, Nirvana would release their second Sub-Pop studio album "Sheep". Sheep goes on to sell about 150,000 copies by early 1991. It is a massive victory for Sub Pop, saving the indie label from bankruptcy. Nirvana becomes the heroes of college radio alongside Sonic Youth and Pixies. becomes a cult-classic transitional record. It bridges the heavy, abrasive sludge of Bleach with the brilliant pop sensibilities Kurt was secretly harboring. What is the alternate history you ask? Well, Because they are locked into promoting Sheep, Chad Channing stays in the band through the end of 1990 and early 1991. And Dave Grohl remains the drummer of Scream, completely altering the timeline of alternative rock. Because Sheep drops in 1990, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are and Lithium would have turned out much different due to the fact that Dave Grohl and Kurt Cobain would have not had the Boombox Rehearsals, due to the fact that Nirvana would be legally obligated to do heavy touring through late 1990 to somewhere around May or June of 1991 to promote Sheep. This heavy touring would probably lead to a break around mid to late 1991 so around when our timeline's second album came out. However, without the world-shattering blast of "Teen Spirit" in the fall of 1991, 80s Hair metal hangs on for a few more years, Nirvana remains a tightly guarded underground secret, and they also remain a brilliant, critically adored, but mid-sized club band.

Question/Request Any Nirvana songs you misunderstood the lyrics to?

67 Upvotes

Are there any lyrics to any nirvana songs that you got wrong, or a misunderstood? For me it's the song " lithium," i always thought that kurt was saying, " i'm not gonna cry."

I literally just found out after all these years that he was saying, "im not gonna crack."

I was just wondering if any of you all have experienced anything similar?
