Nirvana in general

With the release of the long-awaited Nirvana ‘With The Lights Out’ CD/DVD Box Set almost upon us, I thought it was about time I wrote a piece on my favourite band, chronicling everything from the band to the albums, the success to the failure ……. And of course, the final moments ! What Nirvana gave me was the unrivalled joy of their music, the unrivalled adoration for their front man, the unrivalled attention to rock music, and then the unrivalled sadness of ’that’ day in 1994. Every year it comes round, that day when Cobain put that shotgun in his mouth and pulled the trigger. Despite that not being my beliefs as to what happened, I wish to steer clear of ...  Read the complete review

The time is the beginning of the nineties and music was stale, we had the likes of Vanilla Ice bashing out corporate whiteboy rap music to the masses and everything in america was seen to be A-OK. However underneath there was a generation of young people who weren't happy with their lot. Then along came the 'grunge' scene with many bands breaking out of the whole 'Seattle' idea. The likes of Soundgarden, Pearl Jam, Mudhoney, Alice In Chains etc all contributed some great songs but there was always one band who were at the forefront and still in the grand scale of things now remain an incredible influence. That band were Nirvana who ...  Read the complete review

Nothing else will do. Yesterday was like that. I spent it flipping from album to album, single to single. They brought back happy memories of drunken dancing with friends at university. We would hear the opening chords and just fly to the middle of the dance floor, elbowing all the boys out the way and smiling inanely as we thrashed around in time to the melodic screaming. Sometimes I can’t listen. It hurts; it’s an actual pain, ...  Read the complete review

Nirvana may stake claim to just be the single greatest band ever. Maybe. Certainly, if Kurt Cobain had not committed suicide in early 1994, then this band's rise to the very top may have propelled them to even greater cult status. But as it is, Nirvana were cut short almost seven years ago; but not before releasing some of the best Seattle-grunge the world has ever known. Songs like "Lithium", "Smells Like Teen Spirit", and "Come As You Are" have gone down in history as all-time greats, but are played so often they still sound fresh and new each time they are played. In 1994, Nirvana recorded the superb MTV ...  Read the complete review
