Nirvana

Nirvana was an American rock band that was founded in 1987 in Aberdeen, Washington by singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic. The band experienced a set of different drummers whose Dave Grohl, who joined the band in 1990, the longest serving was.

The band established themselves within the Seattle 's music scene by in 1989 their debut album Bleach to bring out on the indie label Sub Pop. After the band was signed to the major label DGC Records, knew the unexpected success with the single "Smells Like Teen Spirit", from his second album Nevermind (1991). This entered Nirvana the mainstream and it took the genre 'grunge' listen. Frontman Kurt Cobain was labeled by the media as "voice of a generation", while Nirvana was seen as flag-bearer forgeneration X. [1]  Cobain felt uncomfortable with all the attention and dedicated himself to the band's music, believing the band's message and artistic vision were interpreted wrong that he challenged by the general public with their third Studio album In Utero (1993).

With Cobains death in april 1994 brought an end to the short existence of Nirvana. The bands influence and popularity, however, remained intact in the years that followed.The song "You Know you're Right", a never-before released demo, stood in 2002 high in radio playlists around the world. The band sold since its debut more than fifty million records worldwide, including more than 25 million in the United States. [2]  [3]

[hide] *1 Band history  ==Band History[ Edit] == ===Rise and culmination[ Edit] === Nirvana was founded in 1987 in Aberdeen, Washingtonplace, after Kurt Cobain and Krist Novoselic had met each other for several years earlier. Initially the band a four-piece with Chad Channing on drums and Jason Everman on guitar. In 1989, in this formation called the debut album, Bleach, recorded and released by Sub Pop. The band went on tour in America and later in Europe. The band then left Channing and Everman. There was temporarily appointed a drummer, Dale Crover, but cooperation was short and concerned only recordings of some songs, before being relieved. In 1990, Cobain and Novoselic via Buzz Osborne of the Melvins in contact with Dave Grohl, he became the new drummer, with whom their second European tour did. In the same year as Nirvana at DGC Records signed with producer Butch Vig. (part of Geffen Records) and the band began to work on a new album. With the appearance of that new album with the name Nevermind, a year later, the band reached international popularity: the album itself marked the breakthrough at the general public and the single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was a worldwide hit. After "Smells Like Teen Spirit" from the same album still followed Lithium, Come As You Are and In Bloom. ===Lifting<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === The setlist of the latest Nirvana-occur, 1 March 1994 in Munich<p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;">After a failed suicide attempt in Rome and a hospitalization was Cobain on the morning of 8 april 1994 by an electrician found dead in the garage of his country house in Seattle. He had three days earlier with a shotgun by his head shot. There is still controversy about Cobains cause of death, according to some points some issues previously on murder rather than suicide. The concentration of heroin that Cobain was found in the body, would be so high that he could no longer could stand or a bullet firing and in his suicide note would be the final piece in a different handwriting are written. By other scientists, however, are these theories into question.

In 2002, on the occasion of the release of the compilation album released a final single, "You Know you're Right". To the release of that compilation album went years of haggling, arguing and lawsuits with Cobains widow Courtney Love, and part-owner of the rights, in advance. The other band members, Krist Novoselic andDave Grohl will work under the name Nirvana no more back. In 2004, however, the box set With the Lights Out released, which is a 3-cd + dvd with as they on many sites call "Rare B-Sides and Singles". A year later, in 2005, was Sliver: The Best of the Box , a kind of summary of the released that year before released ' demo and rarities box set '. This album also contains 3 ' new ' (only on tape for some time, was never released), unknown numbers. Also the holy grailfor many Nirvana fans, the song "Spank Thru" from the Fecal Matterdemo. This song was the debut single by Nirvana and also occurs on various bootlegs and on From the Muddy Banks of the Wishkah. This demo-tape, with Dale Crover 's drums and backing vocals and lead vocals and guitar of Kurt Cobain, Novoselic moved to start a band with Cobain. There are also two demo versions of songs already released and were known.

Often the intended hiding under a superficial image of anger and/or insanity. A single song, such as "Turnaround" (Incesticide) proclaims a political opinion, but that's for Nirvana quite unusual (this is a cover of Devo). The band members regularly preached that view in the usual texts, along with their ' anti-Rockstar attitude '. Nirvana is a response to the dominance of the hairmetal in that time, and is considered to be the band that the mainly urban youth of Generation X is most associated, which their success in the us, but also abroad explains.

At Nirvana and Cobain comes clear one problem where also other musicians suffer from it: the opposing wishes to be successful and be famous and at the same time to remain independent (such as from record sales and expectations). Although Cobain wanted to be a rock star from childhood on, he didn't want the responsibilities and often apathetic and banal circumstances of showbiz undergo. The In Utero album opens with "Teenage angst has paid off well/Now I'm bored and old", which is a reference to the success of Nevermind and everything that came looking.

 * The Melvins: especially in the songs "Pen Cap Chew", "Downer" and "Paper Cuts" are the influences.

 * The Beatles: Kurt Cobain told him the song "About a Girl" has written a whole day after he had listened to the first American album by The Beatles.

 * Flipper: In the early years they played the song "Sex Bomb" of this band. Novoselic and Grohl appear together with Buzz Osborne of the Melvins, if Melvana still on a 7 "on which" Sacrifice "and" Way of the World "are.
 * Shocking Blue: for the album Bleach covered the song "Love Buzz Nirvana" of this Dutch band, also known from the song "Venus".

 * The Wipers: Covers "D7" and "Return of the Rat", songs that appeared on the Eight Songs for Greg Sage and the Wipers.
