@@silversnoops568 because they had just had one of the biggest albums of all time and they just took all the junk they had laying around and put it onto an album. I believe Dave Grohl even said as much that the studio really said they were gonna make a lot of money. Kurt wasn't comfortable doing it but he eventually relented.

[@a_llja1099]

Nirvana MTV Unplugged is a must, too! Honestly, I love every single album by them, they have so much feelings, whatever they are: anger, sadness, fear, even happiness sometimes. Kurt was majestic.

About A Girl is what convinced the producer of Bleach to work with Nirvana.He knew Kurt was special

[@duffelbag1127]

It’s a crime Chad Channing didn’t make the Hall of Fame with Nirvana. He was not only pivotal in launching their distinctive sound on the Bleach album, but had also already written many drum parts on Nevermind, which Dave Grohl kept, and I believe influenced his playing moving forward.

[@johncarolina4950]

I think they pushed to try to have him included in some way but the committee wouldn't budge. All three members really liked Chad. There's a concert they played on the In Utero tour in Ohio where they hear a rumor Chad is in the crowd, and they spend the entire show trying to get him to come up and play School. Kurt at one point even apologizes and says if him asking Chad to come on stage freaked him out, he's really sorry. They ended up waiting for him until they closed the show playing School, the only time that ever happened in band history. Chad wasn't there 😢

[@jacktilghman9797]

Yeah, I mean, it wasn’t even like Kurt and Chad disliked each other, it’s just Kurt was the songwriter and Chad wanted to have more input writing songs, they both didn’t want to budge on their opinion, so, Chad was out, heard all of the band still liked him though.

[@hotstankygarbage788]

LITERALLY A CHAD

[@aw3046]

IIRC, Krist Dave and Pat tried to have him included but were blocked by the committee. Dave Grohl did give him a tribute in his speech though, saying that Chad deserved to be there and said that many of "his" iconic drum parts are from Chad's notes (He'd never said they were his, but people assumed) I don't think there was any hostility between Chad and the others when he left, it was said to be creative differences. If you compare the drums on Bleach era songs and then Dave Grohls, you can see that he wouldn't have fit in. Channing's best work is on the heavy tracks like Floyd the Barber, not the soft things like About a Girl - which Nevermind is similar too. It's 100% a shame that he wasn't included, though. Especially because Pat Smear, the touring guitarist for a year, got included. I'm glad Pat got recognition, he deserved it, but Channing did too.

If you guys want more grunge like “Bleach”, check out TAD - Inhaler (1993) and Melvins - Houdini (1993, this album was partially produced by Kurt too). If you want more grunge like “Dirt”, check out Soundgarden - Badmotorfinger (1991) and King’s X - Dogman (1994). Also, if you ever get curious about “post-grunge”, Silverchair - Frogstomp (1995) is an absolute killer album from front-to-back.

[@unvinhags2518]

Stone Temple Pilots- Core

[@tsg_frank5829]

I love how much you guys are into the heavy shit, this album is easily the most adrenaline inducing record Nirvana has made, it has a raw and unfiltered energy that is hard to match. Also to add context to some tracks, About A Girl actually is about a girl Kurt was dating around the late 80s that dumped him because he couldn't get a job, and School is actually inspired by Kurt going to work as a janitor at his old highschool. A lot of the lyrics on this album are definitely last minute, and Kurt confirms that but there's still songs that have a rhyme and a reason behind them.

[@lavabeansj66]

I know i already commented, but also surfer rosa by pixies. Kurt cobain took a lot of inspiration from that album to make nevermind.

[@SPGhettus]

Badmotorfinger should not be missed. It was part of a threesome with _Nevermind_ and _Ten_ that introduced grunge to the world outside of Seattle back in '91. If you've only heard "Black Hole Sun", you may not be prepared for the aggressive rock full of alt tunings and timings.

[@CitizenScorn]

The lyrics to Floyd were based on characters from The Andy Griffith Show, which Kurt watched as a kid. It's like his grown up/twisted/whateverthefuck of what he really thought was going down in Mayberry 😂 🤘

[@felixwebb1466]

The guy on the album cover is actually Jason Everman, Kurt is on his left

[@grantgrafgames5894]

Love buzz was their first recorded single, which was a cover song, I believe they released it alongside Blew. Pearl Jam Ten is a must for this grunge week. Edit: Jar of Flies too! When my dad attended a Nirvana concert he said it was right before they blew up, probably right before nevermind came out. They went from playing clubs and bars to arenas and stadiums instantly

[@asyouwere2137]

react to "You Know You're Right" is the last song Nirvana ever recorded

[@CBGB_1977]

This album was made for $600. The hubbins and I saw Nirvana right before they hit it big with “Smells Like Teen Spirit “ at SXSW in Austin. There was probably 20 or so people there. It was awesome and unhinged! A few months later, we were at our favorite punk bar. Ministry’s song, “So What” had just ended, and just like a bomb went off….the DJ dropped “Smells Like Teen Spirit”! We were like, “WE KNOW THIS SONG!!! WE JUST SAW THIS BAND!! HOLY SHIT!!” The whole bar seemed to stop and just listened with amazement then we all hit the floor aggressively slam dancing. That song was an embodiment of our anger and cynicism. Music totally changed after that. Hair bands were DONE, to which we all were thankful! I just wished we would’ve picked up a poster bill from that SXSW show! We could’ve totally had them sign it. That’ll be one of our biggest regrets. BUT, we got to see them at their most raw!

[@Christopher-Baltimore]

Looks like you guys got Bleached! This is my favorite grunge album, no question. Low budget, sounds like a show at a small club. Best $600 ever spent. This is how rock should sound. Soundgarden should definitely be in your grunge lineup. Either Badmotorfinger or Superunknown. Badmotorfinger is a more classic grunge album, but they’re both classics. Soundgarden was also a titan of grunge from Seattle with Pearl Jam, Nirvana, and others. Also, The Melvins are I think are looked at as kind of the godfathers of grunge. They are from Seattle as well I think. This was a lot of fun. My favorite moment was, “I know what bass is.” Lol. Thanks, guys! Hope you had a great 4th!

[@DustinRodriguez1_0]

'Floyd the Barber' is excellent and brilliant. The Andy Griffith Show was, and to a degree still is, held up as an image of the 'small town American lifestyle' perfection. Conformity, no one having any real problems, no one struggling or hopeless, etc. It was delusional and dishonest, depicting a reality that never existed, glossing over and denying the dark realities that simmer behind the closed doors of outwardly 'perfect' and 'squeaky clean' small town America in the 50s. Gen X has no patience with that WASPy denial and 'we don't talk about that' bullshit. Kurt was our avatar. He would take the characters and setting of the Andy Griffith Show and degrade it with visions of abuse and cult-like murder. Just like the 50s family home gave birth to the Charles Manson cult and his murderous family. Nirvana concerts during the production of Bleach would have just been club shows, mostly local. The music from Bleach is absolutely perfect for a club environment. You can just picture these raw, grungy, powerful songs getting the small crowd cramped into a dark club moshing together in front of the stage, only a foot or two away from Kurt screaming and shredding on the guitar. Where music is played and how it is listened to actually has a very big influence on the music itself. Music made for a huge concert hall has to be different than music for a tiny club. The acoustics are all different, what sounds travel well over large spaces is different, etc. David Byrne from The Talking Heads wrote a book called 'How Music Works' that talks about this a great deal. It's a very good book if you're curious about why different kinds of music were popular during different eras. Like why don't we have lots of 'classical' style music now or why didn't they have loud, driving basslines and piercing vocals back in the past? As technology develops and how and where music is listened to changes, music also changes. When classical music was dominant, it was listened to in giant concert halls where the audience was mostly walking around, talking to each other, and music listening was an inherently social gathering event. When recorded music was developed, lots of people predicted it would destroy music completely. They described listening to a record at home, alone, as a sort of craven masturbation. They predicted that no one would ever learn to make music because they could always just buy a recording of a true master playing more beautifully than the amateur could ever see themselves as capable of. Philip de Souza, the marching band guy, was particularly doom-and-gloom about it and reading his opinions on the matter is quite fascinating from the modern era. But such things still have influence today. Now people generally don't listen to music on home stereos, they have earbuds in playing compressed digital audio. All of that has an impact on what type of music can be successful. The 'poop as hard as rock' lyric that might seem strange and out of place is a consequence of heroin. Opiates bind to opioid receptors in the body. In the brain, that can lead to euphoria (and analgesia, painkilling, suppression of breathing, addiction, there are a bunch of different receptors and different opiates stimulate different ones to different degrees... neuropharmacokinetics are as complicated as the name makes it sound) but there are also receptors in the intestines. There, it slows and temporarily paralyzes the intestines. Which leads to poop not moving through the intestines as fast as normal. When such stuff hangs around, the body pulls water out of it. Which results in, well, poop as hard as rocks. (Insert 'the more you know' gif here) (Another fun fact, the most popular anti-diarrhea medicine is actually an opiate derivative that works the same way, stimulating the same receptors in the intestine, but it can't cross the blood-brain barrier so that's why it is legal without prescription - they don't have to worry about it making anyone happy)

The first song Nirvana released was Love Buzz, this was a cover of a Dutch band (not grunge/punk at all, very hippie sounding actually), which is why this song sounds so different compared to the rest of the album. They released Love Buzz together with Big Cheese. The album itself is a bit of a mess (a good one don't get me wrong), because they recorder the album at different studios and times. The first session they did was 6 hours (recording and mastering), yet only 3 songs where chosen from this session for this album. The next session they recorded Love Buzz and Big Cheese, for only around 100-200 dollars. The last session also didn't take very long and was for the final songs on the album, costing around 600 dollars.. They did not have a lot of budget simply because their lable at the time (Sub Pop) was very poor and going almost bankrupt at some point, meaning that their budget was very small. Nirvana also wasn't their priority at the time, Mudhoney was their more popular band at the time. A great, but messy album in my opinion, but very important to Kurt for finding his sound and finaly feeling like he could make music for a living. If you ever want a very detailed biography on Kurt, you should check out the book 'Heavier than Heaven' by Charles R. Cross. This is one of the best and most acurate books about Kurt's life.
