It’s honestly kinda sad how Dave Grohl has been part of 2 bands, and two of his best friends died.

It truly is a shame that we never got to see nirvana continue their discography

Their gig history after Nevermind is nuts - they were toured to the bone. And their live performances were no joke in terms of effort and energy. It’s insane what the band did in such a short amount of time and it needs to be understood they were a working gigging band

When I was a teenager in the later 90s I read the entire catalogue of Calvin and Hobbs while listening to Nirvana as background music, as one does. And now I have this deep connection as Calvin being some sort of younger version of Kurt dealing with the injustices of being a kid before he became a musician. As weird as that is, it's a warm memory and makes me happy.

My parents went to go see Nirvana in San Francisco just before Nevermind released and they blew up. Cut to about 30 years later with my parents still married with three kids (one of them being me). My Dad was talking about how he and my mom went to go watch them and bragged about seeing them before they got popular (he did this with a lot of bands that toured when he lived in the us) and my mom turned to him and went "Yeah I didn't really like them." and didn't tell him for 30 years because she didn't want to ruin the date.

Nirvana was responsible for the biggest rock music culture shift of all time. No other band in the last 50 years can say that they radically altered the landscape of rock music with one song and album as much as Nirvana did. Alternative rock existed and even found chart success before Nirvana but Nirvana is truly the band that changed the entire zeitgeist of music. You don’t even have to like them (I happen to absolutely love them) but that is without a doubt their legacy.

My grandma was the mayor that put the “Come as you are” on the Welcome to Aberdeen sign. She asked me, “What does ‘Come as you are’ mean to you?” And I said, well it’s my favorite Nirvana song, but I think it means ‘just be yourself’ and she smiled and showed me the a design before they put it up. She was happy that those that “know”, knew what the signs real meaning was, a tribute to Kurt.

Can’t believe there wasn’t a single mention of their magnum opus “Beans”. That song is beyond anything else. The combo of guitars and the vocals are just amazing. Reccomended to all

Here's a neat fact: Kurt Cobain wrote something like 80% of the lyrics to Bleach the night before the recording session.

Fun fact: Dave Grohl invited Krist Novoselic to play bass on the Foo Fighters song "I Should Have Known" off their album Wasting Light. It's an epic song!

Some points about Cobain's death that I find important:

Is not only that Cobain was depressed and spiraled into an addiction, is also that his efforts to withdraw were cut short because he suffered from some undetermined stomach disease that was very painful to him, so drugs (legal or not) were the only option. It was a very dangerous catch 22 in which the drugs alleviated his pain but made him an addict but leaving the drugs made his life miserable all of that on top of his depression. It was a very complicated situation.

Cobain's suicide was his second attempt, the first one was in Rome and he was saved by... Courtney Love. So was she the one that took care for him in Munich and afterwards. I think is important to clear the air for her every time we have the chance because, as you said, all those theories about her are sickening.

If I could go back in time and prevent one artist from dying prematurely, it would be Kurt Cobain. An absolute visionary for rock music and I would've paid money to see the other ideas he and the rest of Nirvana would come up with

Whenever you cover an artist’s mental health, death, controversy, etc, you always do it in a very gracious and good way. Thank you for that.

One of my favorite bits of Nirvana trivia comes from the Come As You Are biography. When DGC label execs were asked about how they marketed Nevermind as the album took off, they responded "get out of the way and duck". I don't know why that amuses me so. I just love the idea that the public seized upon this band with so much passion, the label COULDN'T market it. It just had a life of its own. It's a phenomenon I don't know that we'll ever see again.

I was 14 yrs old and on a school trip to Canada when Kurt was found dead. The shock became an immediate bond to friends. I wasn't even a huge fan at the time but liked them. Still, it became one of those generation-defining events and I think the more positive way to digest it all was to just appreciate the heart and soul that all of them poured into those songs. Truly amazing! BTW, In Utero is my favorite.

What a lovely band, surely they will have an expansive catalog with more than 3 albums!

I’m so used to Mic the Snare covering artists with many albums throughout the decades, but this video really hits home just how small Nirvana’s discography really is. This video somehow feels emptier than most of Mike’s other video, which really just makes me miss Kurt Cobain even more 😢

Kurt was my age. I was in uni when Nirvana started, and it was a real pleasure to have a band with members the same age as me and my peers. We rooted for them and worried, going through that last part of growing up. I think we knew Nirvana was on borrowed time, because they were practically burning themselves alive.

It's weird to be middle-aged without Kurt. My favorite song is "In Bloom".

Growing up in a very music-loving family where everyone had a favorite genre, I decided when I was 8 that I would look for a band or a genre I could claim as my favorite inspired by my older sister's love of punk and my older brother's love of metal.

I found Smells Like Teen Spirit and Nirvana. This is such a special band to me and thanks for doing this dive.
