    "I was simply blown away when I found that Kurt Cobain liked my work, and have always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering ‘The Man Who Sold the World'. It was a good straight forward rendition and sounded somehow very honest. It would have been nice to have worked with him, but just talking with him would have been real cool.”

    Just to make a correction, Kurt was not a born again Christian but rather took a lot of inspiration from the religion itself. As far as we know he was non religious just a dude who liked to explore and experiment with religious tones in his music and art.

      I think that came from when he stayed for a while at Jesse Reed's family, a friend from school, who were devoted Christians, he was 17 yo or something at the time. I believe some of that experience ended up in the lyrics of "Lithium". He went along with them to church, but really was looking for an identity. After that I don't think he considered himself religious, but was simply interested in it

    Kathleen Hanna from Bikini Kill wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on his wall.
    The reference was to the fact Kurt was dating Toby Vail (Bikini Kill drummer) at the time and that was a deodorant she used.
    Kurt thought it was some phrophetic play on words when in fact Kathleen was poking fun at the fact that he smelt like her bandmate.
    He wasn't directly inspired by the deodorant brand.

      @@briankennedy1192 I would dispute 9 were.
      I already explained what teen spirit was, an indirect reference to tobi.
      In bloom, is about the people he hated (jocks/rednecks) singing their songs and how stupid they were to not realise he was mocking them.
      Polly is about a case he read about a guy that abucted and tortured young girls.
      Stay away was originally titled Pay to play and seems more of state of address of the music scene.
      I don't see it in Territorial pissings, On a plain or Something in the way.
      There's a few I could see an almost direct reference to her but to suggest nearly the whole album is about her is silly.

    I was 17 when Kurt took his own life. I wasn't a fan of the music. I actually dismissed him altogether. However, during the most difficult part of my life at year ago (45), I discovered Nirvana and now have so much respect for his music--I think his lyrics are brilliant. The way he plays with words--brilliant. I am excited to read his published journals. I knew he had constant stomach pain from his back--I also experienced serious GI issues. Yeah, I would have taken anything to make the pain stop. Bi-polar. So many brilliant people, famous and not famous, struggle with this disorder. I am usually a better writer than this, but I, too, have mental health issues that affect me daily. Kurt has helped me through a very personal, indescribable hell. Lithium is my favorite song. Cobain was a genius and a voice of our generation.

    According to Nirvana manager Danny Goldberg in his book, David Geffen was perfectly fine with the way "In Utero" sounded, and at no point the record company hesitated to release it. This rumour was picked up by the media through poor sources around the band, but not from the band or recordlabel itself.
    What in fact happened was that Kurt himself was initially unhappy with the way Albini had mixed in his vocals, therefor asked Scott Litt to remix some of the record

    This is a cool iceberg. I’m 46 and I’ve been a Kurt/Nirvana fan since I was 12. I was never a “cool kid”, but I somehow ended up with the Bleach album when it came out. For a while, I didn’t even know that the Teen Spirit band was the same band who released Bleach lol. For me, all of these could’ve all been just one tier, as I’ve been an obsessed fan for so long that I’ve known all the lore from the beginning. Well, almost…the first time I got internet access - in 1995 - I looked up every Nirvana website I could find and printed out literally everything on it, pictures and all.
    I also credit Kurt with turning me onto Pixies, my all time fave band. I’ve been fortunate enough to have met them several times and they’re still amazing, despite Kim no longer being in the band.

    The song is called Sliver not Silver
    And Kurt didnt even know that teen spirit deodorant existed. His girlfriend wore it leading to one of his female friends who was in a band with Kurts girlfriend wrote "Kurt Smells Like Teen Spirit" on his wall while they were goofing around drunk. The following morning when Kurt woke up he saw it and liked how smells like teen spirit sounded. While drunk they had been talking about teen revolution etc. Kurt thought she meant that he was a person who could inspire pepole. But what she actually menat was that his girlfriend had marked him with her scent.

      Kathleen Hannah was dating Dave Grohl while living at the Pear St apartment. Kurt was dating Toby at the time, Toby wore teen spirit deodorant. Kathleen spray painted kurt smells like teen spirit on the bedroom wall. Assuming kurt smelled like teen spirit because of Toby. Kurt didn't even know it was a deodorant until after the song was made. He just liked the spray painted message and rolled with it

    Perhaps a Nirvana Iceberg pt2 with corrections, and more information. Perhaps the "Sliver" / "Silver " mistake- and how even though the guys were aware of this frequent mistake probability they still rollled with it.
    They were correct & Silverchair even mistakingly called their band by this mistake. (In fact i think Kurt used it as a way to tell who his deepest fans truly were). Technically they should be SLIVERchair.
    I LOVE that Top of the Pops appearance and what they did. It's 150% worth watching the full performance here on TH-cam too!

    I was/am a die hard Nirvana fan but I have to admit that I hadn't heard of the album Bleach until I watched the Unplugged show. They were about to play About A Girl and Kurt said it was off their first record, most people don't own it. I immediately (well the next day or so) went to the record store and they actually had a copy of it on CD and I grabbed it like there were other people there for the same thing lol. But anyway, the supposed suicide note to Bodda was actually a note letting Bodda know that he was breaking Nirvana up. Courtney of course put it out to the world that it was Kurt's suicide note believing that all the fans would fall for it because of Kurt's so called suicide attempts. That's a whole other story that I don't wanna get into but I hope and pray that Courtney gets what should be coming to her and that's a prison sentence. Along with Kurt's murderer whom I really believe was her guitarist Eric Erlandson.

    Got some good stuff for younger fans who probably missed most this stuff.
    (Though those of us that were young teens in their original heyday in real time, that are also big fans, are familiar with all the info. However it's nice to see younger generations catching on to this info. )
    Also there's some incorrect stuff about "Kurt smells like teen spirit" that was Kathleen Hannah (Bikini Kill) that wrote that. It wasn't a direct obsession with the brand.
    Great job despite the mis-pronunciation(s).

    Great video, and I have a theory that the warped smiley face logo was a parody of the crude, cartoonish smiley face logo created in 1963 by American graphic artist and ad man, Harvey Ross Ball. Which eventually became the commercialized representation of the youth counter culture movement during the 1960s and 70s. Since Kurt liked himself an honorary Punk Rocker, he hated the corporate boho, hippie movement and wanted to poke fun at the misguided and wasted potential of his parents generation. I also think he might have been inspired to make a logo for his band that would be easily recognized and drawn by anyone, which he like to do with his favorite bands and was most akin to the Bay Area punk band Flipper. Again, just a theory. 🙃
