Nirvana 1991 Alone + Easy Target live in Europe Soundcheck 

By now everyone knows that some of Dave Grohl’s first foo fighters song demo were liked by Kurt. In an interview, Grohl confirmed that in Europe 1991, Nirvana played “Alone + Easy Target” as a soundcheck. I know that generally this is considered to be audio we don’t have, but im curious as to if there is a know recording even if it isn’t circulating, similar to the 1994 Do Re Mi Erland session. thanks

So, I see lots of people (including me at one point!) asking how they could become a dev, this is my guide to that question for the in-depth readers who want to thoroughly figure out the answer.  

Its simple; you just do it. Many people hesitate at first, a lot of the time it's fear of not making enough money, or not making high quality games, but that is not the case. I hear you saying "but what if I don't have talent?", and my answer to that is.. you do! (totally not like everyone says that). Everyone has talent, but it may not be apparent. To give an anecdote; I thought the exact same. When I started dev, I had no skills, so I started by just doing what I could. My mind learns all at once and not in steps, so for me, I couldn't learn code because of the amount of individual pieces that goes into it, so I started by doing game reviews. I would ask developers in the community if they wanted me to play the game and tell them all my thoughts on it, and on occasion, bugs. That's all I did, I would often even buy the game and not even request a key for the free service I was doing, but instead of earning games, I was earning something much more valuable, knowledge and trust. As I did more and more reviews, I got higher roles, I started doing free beta testing, at this time it was still for small games, such as "The Shade" on Steam, this time I would get the keys, but that isn't necessary. Doing this beta testing on these small projects helped me learn, along the way I learnt about different bugs (keep this in mind for future reference) and I also once again, gained trust.

For a while I kept doing this free beta testing, but I kept having this lingering thought, what if I was stuck? In my mind, I couldn't do more, and I was stuck as a beta tester. Nevertheless, I persevered. At this time, I wasn't getting the same "promotion" as I was before,so I did it myself. I messaged Indie devs and asked if I could write sections of dialogue on their games.  This was a huge step, I learnt independence in the industry, and gained more skills. I wrote dialogue, and had to work hard constantly on it (as I had no skills). While I was doing this, I started doing the same but with story writing. Once again, I just kept going. I continued, and kept applying to projects, as I was gaining recognition, I started to get messages from smaller devs, asking for my help. At this time, I met Vladislive Dev (https://vladislive-dev.itch.io/), which was an amazing opportunity. He helped me with finding projects, and let me work on his. Once again, I worked hard, and ended up getting more opportunities, i had eventually met so many people that when someone needed someone for a game on a task I couldn't do (I had mid level skil) I had a whole array of people to recommend. I stayed at it, and kept working. I started heading my own projects, collecting my friends, making a team, and getting a story from someone who wanted a game adapted off their story. I once again, kept working, doing the QA, coordination, and production. I stayed at it, and I am where I am now. I had no skill to begin with, I started from 0 and ended up where I am, overseeing and managing different projects.

I am where I am because of potential and the goodness of people. I ended up with knowledge on Unity, knowledge of Blender, and knowledge of other things. I could successfully coordinate teams and make models and code, and ended up with the skill we missed. I still have more to learn, and don’t know it all, I am learning too, but hope to share my words to others who started like I did.

But theres a little more. Do you remember earlier when I told you to remember my first beta testing venture? The bugs from that game, taught me what I know about fixing game bugs permanently, I learnt simple fixes that worked, and how to apply them.

I hope this helps you all! In our next episode we will be discussing what to do if an issue arises in your team, and what steps you can take to start a project.

Love you all.

as far as I know, the drain you scream was clearly on the album but Kurt started it prominently in 1993, however, it started scarcely in 1992. the first recorded one that I know of was at saint kilds Feb first 1992. Were there any before that?

The rehearsal for unplugged was done in weehawken, and on the rehearsal setlist Old Age and StS were there, do we have any audio at all from that rehearsal? even just things like what they ended up playing, or banter, literally anything at all.

hello lovecraft subreddit, I was curious as to what you all thought of Robert Chambers well known work “The King In Yellow” and its Carcosa related parts, and if any of you knew of “The Novel of The White Powder” by Arthur Machen, it’s part of a short stories series about loathesome fear.

I’m curious, what did the nirvana members parents think of their children being in the band? More specifically Krist, did Maria ever go to their shows after 1991? And being an immigrant, did she even like the music? I just wonder if she acknowledged the world wide success they had.
