r/Nirvana

Another bootleg vinyl. Found this one in a record store in Aberdeen a few years ago. The whole thing is great, but this has my favorite version of polly. This version of drain you and spank thru are also amazing.

Hi everyone!

This is my first time posting on the Nirvana subreddit.

I'm a huge Nirvana fan! I even have a mini Fender guitar, and I've drawn a lot of Nirvana artwork.

I also collect their LPs, CDs, and cassette tapes.

I'm looking forward to getting to know everyone and being part of the community!

Everything you see in the video was made by me using a cardboard shipping box, colored paper, glue, and printed photos. I didn't spend any money on it at all—I just used things I already had at home and finished it in one day.

I recorded this a long time ago, so the video quality isn't very good, and it's a little fast. Please pause the video if you'd like to see the details!

"Heart-Shaped Box" is my favorite Nirvana song.

I uploaded the video to YouTube, but it didn't get many views. 😅

I hope you like it!

Found this year's ago in a thrift store near Seattle. I don't really know much about it but the quality is pretty decent for a bootleg vinyl of fecal matter and some early demos.

Edit: damn sorry, I should've cropped the photos

Former Nirvana drummer-turned-Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl gave his approval for Nirvana's "Breed" to be used as the opening song for the upcoming anime adaptation of The Guy She Was Interested in Wasn't a Guy at All.

In an interview provided by Aniplex, Grohl mentioned that his late bandmate Kurt Cobain would have loved the sapphic title, noting that it shares the band's aesthetic and vibe.

Almost a repost because it’s basically the same thing but the wording is changed because I forgot to copy the original post before I deleted it. The original post got removed because I accidentally posted it twice instead of once because when I pressed the post button it didn’t take me out of the menu to create the post.

Basically I wanna get a Mustang but I don’t know if it’s better to buy a cheaper sonic mustang then mod it into Nirvana Mustang specs (JB, new bridge, flipped tail piece, Japanese [?] Fender single coil, etc) or buy a more expensive classic vibe Mustang and do the same thing to it. My standard for quality is well I play a 2004 Squier Affinity Strat that has decent tuning stability (I did put the bridge flat though with 5 springs) and not sharp frets.

Notes: the Strat is modded to have a JB in the bridge so I might put a coil split hot rail in the bridge of the Mustang instead to go for the competition Mustang sound even though I much prefer the In Utero Stangs (Skystang 1 my beloved)

The first two pictures are the two mustangs I’m considering buying and the last one is my modded Strat

shoutout to nirvanalatino for the interview. idk if this has been talked about here, this interview is from 2025

between the life Kurt was about to leave and The Piano, the last film he saw, in which a woman is sold, brutalised and deprived of her beloved musical instrument. And Kurt ended up leaving this life and being stripped of his instrument and the talent and the type of person he was. Struggled so much with himself and battled a battle I know too well, but he showed everyone respect, didn't judge people on their belief or what they believed in or any type of status someone holds in any type of social or cared about money or himself. All that hate and judging and plastic fake corporate agenda our government pushes on us. Kurt said it best that he couldn't breathe or felt like he was living during the Reagan era. He felt like an alien. and his mother loved music and I remember in his memoir and journals he talked about right before nevermind was released he got a few days to come home and went to his mom's house. And she had a big speaker entertainment center with a record player and I think it played compact discs too. And Kurt brought a copy of Nevermind and him and his mom sat down and had some wine and listened to it together. And Kurt's mom was so Happy for him, but she realized the talent and how big nirvana was about to become and how nevermind was going to define a whole generation followed by someone could look up to and relate to Kurt Cobain. And she said "Oh honey.. You're not ready to be this famous.... Kurt.... do you realize what you are going to do with this album?" she said something like Baby no you aren't ready for this, because she seen him travel to Europe right after bleach and he had written nevermind in Olympia when he was living with Tracey while she would go to work every morning she said he could stay at the house and didn't have to have a job as long as he worked on his music. And that pear Street triplex where him and Tracey lived and then when Dave joined Nirvana he moved in with Kurt and they would drive to Krist house in Tacoma and do band practice. And not even a quarter mile for where Kurt lived there in Olympia where he sat at home for a year and wrote 90% of Nevermind and a few tracks off In Utero and Incesticide they would play their first show as Dave as their drummer at a bar which is now the key bank I believe and they would start teasing some of Neverminds tracks before they went and recorded it with Butch Vig in Cali. But by the time Kurt got his nevermind money from his record company he was using heroin and only staying clean for a couple days at a time. So much fame, Life going so fast, and how Kurt felt like an alien and didn't feel like he was like anyone else he could relate to music and his instrument, and even in the end when he was falling out with the bandmates and was spiraling deeper and deeper I can say I can relate to the opiate and opioid addiction as I've struggled with it my whole life too, but Kurt was numbing the fame, the constant nonstop feeling of being watched, not being left alone. And when you get addicted to heroin and you're no longer doing it to get high but using it to just get through the day and just feel like you're not dying from the flu and anxiety just from having to have a normal conversation with your day to day loved ones. Yeah that movie definitely made Kurt sad where he could relate to it I think. And after his Rome overdose, or maybe rhohypnol was put in his drink. But the amount of time he was overdosed and didn't have full oxygen going to his brain, He was never the same after that Krist, Dave, and people all close to him said. I know people will say he was never truly happy right when his mother and father got divorced, and I totally relate to that too growing up with a dad that I haven't seen since I was 4 years old. But I think Kurt and Courtney were definitely going through marital problems. He wasn't seeing eye to eye with the band. He didn't want to be under the spotlight and felt like he couldn't even spend time with his daughter without having to sign an autograph or take a picture and I think the drug fueled addiction, his struggle with mental health, and how 5 years went so fast for nirvana and how many days he just felt like he was fully burnt out and didn't want to continue faking it. And addiction can definitely cause mental health problems like depression which he said he suffered with and chronic pain and I think he just couldn't go on pretending and battling a battle he felt he couldn't win. And that piano movie just like the end Kurt's life, His instrument and passion in life was truly stripped from him, and I don't know if he knew how much he was loved, or how many people's life he changed or touched and made for the better. But I know I struggle everyday with my own demons and if you feel like you're at rock bottom and been stripped of what you truly love and nothing just seems colorful anymore. Life is just grey with dark shades of white and darker shades of darkness I know someone else is struggling and battling with something way harder than I am, and life's too short to let a disease like addiction and mental health is what a lot of people don't realize is a disease too. We all struggle and I know what Kurt was able to make and left behind for everyone that truly uses the feeling of relating and feelings that Kurt gave us with all his music and videos of his laughter and him just being a good loving soul and a loving father to his daughter it helps and will continue helping people who struggle and get stripped of what they love and get to wake up another day to enjoy what Nirvana and Kurt Cobain gave us and it should just make awareness and help people understand and help and be there more often when someone is struggling with addiction or mental health problems . Sorry for the long post but watching that movie and feeling what Kurt must have been feeling relating to the protagonist who lost all interest and the instrument that truly gave life to him and made him was one of the only things that kept him going besides his daughter and made him want to live. That's all I need is knowing that faith and that someone so special can make so many people happy with something such as an instrument and just letting people know how they feel and letting people relate and understand without having to speak a single word or actually know him.
