RE: Nirvana Acoustic songs for Three Tune Tuesday Week 80

in Musiclast year

Yeah i didn't care at ALL back then, we were high haha.... what a night. He was a bit of a mess too. I was lucky to see him nontheless. I also saw Jeff Buckley before he carked it too. Magical. I was beginning to think it was me and was waiting for the third haha.

I listened to Mark Lanegan's auto bio after he died and he talked about that entire scene. It's amazing anyone made it out alive. A very dark, very harrowing book in many ways. I am by no means naive and have seen, read and experienced a lot but sheesh, those guys did it hard. If Kurt didn't die when and how he did he would have died down the road of something else. I didn't realise that he was meant to go round and see Kurt that day. I'm not sure if you've ever listened to Mark Lanegan but I can't help think of him when I think about Nirvana.

It's this version that just kills me. They sure knew how to open with bass riffs in those days. So many of those songs I can id immediately by the first bass notes.
