Behind The Album: Nirvana | Bleach

[@ashlandstationmusic]

Bleach still holds up today as a great rock record.

[@skeptictoons8841]

My Second favorite Nirvana album besides In Utero

[@JDMacko23]

ASHLAND STATION MUSIC your correct, first albums usually do hold considering you have 10 years to perfect them

[@matzegehtdichnixan6768]

Not to forget: Bleach has one of the best, most bone chilling screams in rock history: School

[@petran4018]

B-Side of aneurysm. That's all I have to say.

[@jesusguerra1093]

The song itself is huge... Wild, powerful and straight to guts.... "No recessssssssssssssssss !!!! " Amazing song !!!

[@shermanmerman9956]

I like the scream in negative creep more......it sounds very anguished to me

[@vilimbubas1302]

Paper cuts man, that song is pure despair and inner fight, never heard anything close to that song. That song sound like orchestra is playing, an evil orchestra which gives song another level

[@cupofdesserts5648]

I think drain you has the best Nirvana screams ever. But it's from a live show...

Most underrated Nirvana album

[@NewMadrid01]

It’s criminal that Chad didn’t get inducted with Kurt, Krist and Dave

[@krisfrederick5001]

Yeah, I mean I understand Dale or Aaron or whomever else not being mentioned but, Chad recorded this with them. Dave acknowledged him but still.

[@NewMadrid01]

Kris Frederick The shout out was pretty disingenuous to me. It almost felt as if Dave was mocking him. That probably wasn’t his intention, but still...

He was with them in the early days, with the tough touring.

[@krisfrederick5001]

[@chromeadome]

Mudhoney and the Melvins have a lot to do with this sound, great first album

[@del7538]

Melvins and Scratch Acid were Kurt's two main reference points on Bleach. Mudhoney's influence came later with songs like Breed.

[@daveo7481]

A lot of people don’t know that.

[@FredericAmirAourarh]

I noticed that the artwork for Bleach is extremely similar to Mudhoney’s Superfuzz artwork too.

[@vonslagle]

I was lucky enough be there for a lot of awesome Nirvana experiences. They stayed at our house in Philly in 89’ and I was in the Green Room with them at SNL when they played. I saw them open up for Tad in 89’ at Maxwells in Hoboken and chatted with Kurt after the set while he picked up the pieces of the guitar he just smashed. Fine, outstanding young men

[@ChrisCarney91]

Me too. I think it speaks for itself.

[@killval849]

They are all my favorite, except anything produced by Butch Vig. Nevermind needed to happen, but still it really is just not that Nirvana sound. If you listen to enough of their live gigs, you'll know they were nowhere near as serious, polished, and Motley Crueish in terms of making a record as Nevermind turned out to be. So yeah Incesticide/In Utero/Bleach all the best material from them. Don't get me wrong though some tunes I adore on Nevermind, just when they played them live not with that heavy production found on the record.

[@r.edward5701]

@@killval849 totally agree. In utero sounds amazing imo. I've become an Albino fan years later and have become obsessed with any vids I can find with him in his studio

[@Suk-mi-cok]

"Just never give up..." If only Kurt had taken his own advice.

[@12monkeys95]

Thank you dudeman productions for this gift of a video.

[@brettgordon5569]

Fact: Jason Everman was never paid back his $600 something and whatever in change for paying to have the Bleach album recorded at Reciprocal Studios. Kurt & Krist forgot to write him a payback check after they blew up and became famous. O well. Whatever. Nevermind.

[@helterskelter2927]

First Nirvana song I've ever heard besides Teen Spirit was Blew. Immediately hooked. Bleach will always be my favorite Nirvana album.

[@helterskelter2927]

Paper Cuts is easily the darkest Nirvana song.. Brilliant album.

Kurt spelled it Kurdt on the album as a zing to Kurdt Vanderhoof from Metal Church, also from Aberdeen.

[@dudemcfaceyface]

My tape copy of bleach was made of black plastic and didn't have downer on it.

Mine was black plastic. It didn't mention Jason Everman on it either, and he was cropped out of the cover photo. But it did have Downer as a bonus track.

[@TheCreaturess]

Daniel Montoya the original album didn’t have big cheese or downer

[@JaceHuntley]

I love the ending of this video. The interview where Kurdt says Keep practicing don't give up. That's the Kurdt I was inspired by... Before major Heroin use.. I hate that drug. If I was his friend I would of found a way to make him to never do that shit... That's the Kurdt that was the best version of himself. The one that should still here today with us all.

[@jonnyl5442]

Induct Chad Channing into the music Hall of fame.

[@muddzy9063]

I think the reason why Kurt put his name as “kurdt” is because he spelt his name that way on his first demo tape, “literacy will prevail” that he made with his first band Fecal Matter. The spelling was for old times sake, though, a K in his last name is a mystery to me.

[@delete7266]

underrated channel

[@sasquatchwizard]

My favorite Nirvana record

[@ashscott6068]

Huh? Nooo. Kurdt is just a normal alternative spelling of the name Kurt, just like Cobain was originally spelled Cockbain. Kurdt Vanderhoof was playing in bands in Aberdeen when Kurt was a teenager, so that's likely where he first learned of the alternate spelling. It has nothing to do with Kurt's middle name. When have you ever heard of Kurt Cobain ever mentioning his middle name anywhere? You think a guy like Cobain wanted people to know his middle name was Donald? Highly unlikely.

[@OZKÄRSTALIN]

VERY NICE VIDEO MAN! WOW I REALLY ENJOYED IT!!

[@stubkar]

OR he put the "d" in Kurdt to reference Kurdt Vanderhoof, of Metal Church..... Also from Seattle. Way more likely.

[@GShumway132]

The cassette was all screwy. It had neither Big Cheese, nor Downer on it. Downer wasn't listed, but Big Cheese was. They put Downer on Incesticide since it was missing from the tape, but they didn't put Big Cheese on there; probably because they just looked at the track listing instead of actually listening to it in order to make sure that all the songs were there. I also listed Negative Creep as the last song on side 1, when it was actually the first song on side 2. Real cluster fuck.
