Here Today... Gone To Hell!

 According to The Internet Nirvana Fan Club, a NIRVANA box set will be released on November 23, 2004. Consisting of three CDs and one DVD, the box set will contain "previously unreleased rarities and b-sides," including a total of over 50 unreleased recordings including Kurt Cobain's demos. The DVD, which will come with the first pressing only, will feature previously unseen footage and live performances. A 60-page booklet will also be included in the package.

Haven't listened to Nirvana for about 6 years, but I guess I'll buy that anyway.. I don't really know why, though :P

I'd imagine most of these 'new songs' will be demo's of existing songs - but if they ain't i'll be uying this

Sounds nice, but theres gotta be a catch...  :-\

WHat is wrong with nirvana?

CObain is over rated but he is a great lyricist and singer...

there are some demos of already released songs but from what I've heard about 2/3 of it are songs that haven't been heard and are mostly acustic stuff.

Cool I'll be buying that

probably songs from the outcesticide bootleg series

Here the lastest news from today

Nirvana: Box Set Title, Release Date Announced
(Source: Blabbermouth.net)

According to Amazon.com and a several other Internet sources, the hotly anticipated three-CD/one-DVD NIRVANA box set will be entitled "With The Lights Out" (a lyric from the legendary NIRVANA track "Smells Like Teen Spirit") and will hit stores on November 23 via Geffen (November 22 in Europe).

The four-disc compilation is made up of three audio CDs, with over 40 tracks on them, and one DVD with archive footage.

The audio tracks will be rare and previously unheard demos, alternative versions and radio session tracks.

The DVD footage includes a rare promo of "In Bloom" and is also expected to feature an early live show. Pre-order the box here.

No offically word yet still rumor though...

Later

There are two kinds of box sets:

The Good Kind
These contain mainly "new" songs, B-sides, or previously unreleased recordings of songs that nobody's heard.  This is good because it's like an actual new record, but Supersized.  This usually means that the artist is extremely prolific and wrote a lot of songs that didn't make it onto released studio albums.  Examples include Bruce Springsteen's Tracks and Bon Jovi's upcoming 100,000,000 Bon Jovi Fans Can't Be Wrong.

The Lame Kind
These contain rereleased masters, "alternative takes, demos, and radio session tracks" - in other words, songs that people have heard a million times before, but in slightly modified versions.  This results when an artist is less prolific in their writing, OR the vault doesn't contain many more original songs.  Examples include Motley Crue's Music To Crash Your Car To, The Beatles' Anthology, and Nirvana's upcoming With The Lights Out, or so it seems.

What kinda catch, how can there be a catch ???

There is dozens of unreleased Nirvana material, 'You Know Your Right' was the first n' definatly not the last they said when the Greatest Hits was released, i hope they release Live Tonight Sold Out on DVD.!!! : ok: : ok:

I m kinda suprised some of you are even interested in this, most times someone mentions Nirvana then it's all over ::) :hihi:

Hmm, 50 un-released tracks? Have you thought about why they were un-released?

It's just a damn money-making scheme.

Yeah, but if you were going to promote a Greatest Hits CD, then wouldn't you choose the best of the unreleased songs with which to promote?

Meaning, in essence, that it won't get any better than You Know You're Right...(Of course this is all in opinion)

....And You Know You're Right was...

...Well...

...Hmm.

Yeah of course another one trying put down Nirvana. Well thats b/c Kurdt when out in his prime. Maybe Bon and Bruce should have thought about doing that... and the fact that nirvana  still has alot of unrelease songs out thier they could be box set..

Alot more people will be intrested in nirvana than bon jovi thats a fact...

I'm not trying to put down Nirvana...I'm listening to them a lot these days.  They were a great punk band, I just think they were a little overrated.  Music journalists and stuff deify Kurt Cobain primarily because he's dead and his band was around at the right time.  He wrote a lot of great songs, but Nirvana albums also had a lot of filler.  I think that if Kurt was still around, Nirvana would be primarily remembered as a better-than-average punk band that crossed over into the mainstream.

I am looking forward to this release, I am looking forward to seeing the tracks that are going to be on this, I am sure there are going to be alot of alternate versions of tracks that already are available, but this will still be a worthwhile purchase, alot of people dont like Nirvana that follow bands such as Guns etc , but i have always been a huge fan, In Utero is a great album, possibly the best album of the 90's.

Thats what i mean by catch.

Nirvana (Dave and Krist) just want all of Nirvana's music out so that fans can hear it all

I am also going to get this, and for those of you who want news on the box set here is a pretty good site

http://www.nirvana-music.com/nirvana-box-set.html

It all depends upon what they're considering to be "unreleased."  I have a feeling there will at least be a few nuggs for the die-hards....well worth it, IMO, even if it only serves to collect the rare stuff i've got on countless cd's and tapes into a single, tidy package...

DeepDiscountCD is taking preorders for a little over $50 plus free shipping.
http://www.deepdiscountcd.com/index.cfm?request=cd.cfm?upc=602498646649

You know how on UYI GnR finished songs they had for years that weren't done by AFD? (November rain, bad obsession, don't cry) Well I recall reading an interview where Kurt had said something similar to having done that with In Utero. He said he didn't have any left over material or anything so he was gonna write the next album from scratch. I only mention this because it leads me to believe that the unreleased recordings might mostly be demo's of songs and not alot of unreleased material. Then again You know your right was on the greatest hits package and I think it's one of their better songs ever so who kows.

A lot of it is Kurt's demos, new stuff, there are 68 tracks not on any other album, a total of 81 songs

There will also be another rearities album coming out after this, first the greatest hits CD "Nirvana", now the box set "With The Lights out", and later the rearities. (The first rarities album was Incesticide for those of you who do not know)

*begins saving

 According to a posting at The Internet Nirvana Fan Club, Britain's Q magazine will bring the full track listing and an early review of the upcoming NIRVANA "With the Lights Out" box set in their December 2004 issue (#221) as part of an article entitled "Last Testament. The Nirvana boxset. Kurt Cobain's curtain call."

The track listing for the box set, due on November 23 via Geffen Records (one day earlier internationally), doesn't specify where the songs are from ? as in the source session or performance. However, The Internet Nirvana Fan Club webmaster has tried to provide that information when possible, based on educated guesses and extensive knowledge of the NIRVANA recordings. He writes: "Please note that this source information is mostly speculation and by no means confirmed officially. Some sessions I'm sure of, while in other cases I've used the word 'possibly' to mark uncertainty. The source info is only intended to be used as reference. Though, the listing of actual song titles should be 100% accurate. "

so, it looks like Chad Channing plays drums on the entire first disc, cool. : ok:

Aw, no Dave.... never even thought about that

Yeah the foo fighters have some good songs but dave is a truely awesome drummer. Songs without him still have a chance to be pretty cool but the drums on bleach don't live up to other stuff with dave on it.

Dave is one of the greatest, but Chad was good too.

anyone know why he left Nirvana?
they had another guy on guitar on Bleach as well (Jason something I believe), wonder why they left, Ive never read up on that.

No Jason Everson was not on Bleach, he was listed in the credits as playing guitar, but he did not play. However he was on the cover for bleach, and I am not sure why Chad channing left, but there were other drummers too such as Dale Crover and Dan Peters.

Jason Everman played a handful of live shows with Nirvana, yet he was only listed on the credits of Bleach because he ponied up the money for the recording sessions...Never played a single note....According to Michael Azzerad, the author of the definitive Nirvana biography "Come As You Are", Channing left Nirvana because he was from Cambridge, supposedly a very hippie-like stoner town, very laid back, worlds apart from Kurt and Kris.....Kurt explains that he was once at Channing's house perusing hs record collection, and apparently was not very impressed by what he saw....Considered him a bit of a "poser", just looking for a ride to stardom...

Check out the trailer at MTV.com (http://www.mtv.com/music/special_features/nirvana/).  :drool:




/jarmo

the Trailer looks good.

Haven't seen anybody post this yet







Billboard.com is reporting that the upcoming NIRVANA box set "With the Lights Out" features 18 previously unreleased audio tracks and four video clips from the archives of venerable indie label Sub Pop, to which the Kurt Cobain-led band was signed early in its career.

Included are three LEADBELLY covers recorded in August 1989 at Seattle's Reciprocal Studios, with assistance from NIRVANA bassist Krist Novoselic, SCREAMING TREES vocalist Mark Lanegan and then-TREES drummer Mark Pickerel. Cobain had designs on forming a group around these players, to be named JURY OR LITHIUM, but it never materialized.

"When Lanegan was in the studio recording the [1990 album] 'The Winding Sheet', he was working with so many people," Sub Pop general manager Megan Jasper told Bilboard.com. "Kurt plays some music on that record. There were just people randomly coming into the studio. As musicians do, they'd end up goofing around and doing their own thing. In those sessions came those 'JURY' tracks, which have never been released. We've been sitting on those for a long, long time."

Here is the nirvana site, it has the trailer and the Sub Pop version of In Bloom in the videos section as well as other things

man that would be a nice Christmas present  :hihi:

lol, my sister is getting it for me for xmas

I'm not trying to put down Nirvana...I'm listening to them a lot these days.? They were a great punk band, I just think they were a little overrated.? Music journalists and stuff deify Kurt Cobain primarily because he's dead and his band was around at the right time.? He wrote a lot of great songs, but Nirvana albums also had a lot of filler.? I think that if Kurt was still around, Nirvana would be primarily remembered as a better-than-average punk band that crossed over into the mainstream.

Kurt Cobain was ok but he is definitely the most overated artist in the history of modern music.

Here's a taste of You Know Your Right Demo....

The Bcc played it on the radio check it out


http://www.nirvana2.com/system/display.php?thread=4494&forum=1&perpage=30&page=1

It's awsome no idea what the lyrics are really are and yes its a demo

later

For all you people in USA, Bestbuy.com (http://www.bestbuy.com/site/olspage.jsp?id=1395138&skuId=6909553&type=product) sells the box for $40.

It's $54 at Amazon.com.


And $84 (579SEK) here in Sweden.  :crying:



/jarmo

Target's ad has the box listed as  $27.99.

Best Buy is going to be selling it for $36.99 including a $5 gift certificate. Anyone who has the Target ad can go to Best Buy and try to get then to pricematch.

"I Hate Myself and Want To Die" was originally on a Beavis and Butt-Head compilation album.  I wonder if the version of the song on the Nirvana box set is going to include the intro by Beavis and Butt-Head.  Probably not; they want to preserve the "mystique" of Nirvana.  :P

I think that the deification of Kurt as this musical god is exactly the sort of thing he had a distaste for...

Kurt Cobain wasn't a musical God don't be so ignorant. I can't believe some of you are actually buying this money-making scam, it's the kind of thing Lars Ulrich would sell.

Um...I didn't say he was a musical god.  I meant that it's the media who worships the guy.

So did anyone get this yet?

The Nirvana Box set is great.  So far the highlights for me is hearing Do Re Mi, it's the last song kurdt wrote. Many people I have talk to likes it cause close to a john lennon tune. I also like Rape Me kinda funny with Franic Bean crying in the background it defintely  changes the vibe for it. Also led zepplin heartbeaker has rough lyrics on the cd but it fucking shows that kurtd could play the guitar (not the greatest all time but), I here so many people claiming the guy can't play shit well he could.  Also the smells like teen spirit mix by butch vig is great too. The demos are good to hear too b/c the lyrics have been changed.

Exactly. The media sucks.

...and he was a dick anyway.

 :rant: DON'T YOU EVER SAY THAT AGAIN, YOU HEAR ME????????????? YEAH, THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT? ?:rant: What the hell did Kurt ever do to you, and how do you know he was a dick? Do you know anything about him? huh? I didn't think so. Stupid loser, go to Hell, and BURN.? :rant:

Well, I suppose that he could be referring to Kurt's alternative snobbiness - you know, the idea of deeming only certain people to be worthy to listen to your music and stuff.  Things like that, and spitting on Axl's piano - did I mention that Kurt considered the band that we're all here for "so unbelievably untalented, and yet they're the biggest rock band in the world...I can't believe it."

Doesn't really matter if he was a dick, though, because he did a lot of good tunes.  Besides, it's not like Axl is a saint either.

...or I could just throw my money down the toilet.

Either way.

Bought it today for 66 ?, a fair price I guess. I haven't listened to a Nirvana recording for years, so this is pretty cool right now.


This thread is obviously for you. Thanks for visiting, genius.  ::)

1. You're a Nirvana fan.

2. You think Stairway to Heaven is "mediocre and boring."

.....you're obviously the genius here.? ?:-X

I wouldn't call myself a fan actually, but that's beside the point, much like everything you say.

...I am smart enough to stay out of threads that don't interest me, though. Perhaps once you grow up, you'll be able to do the same thing.

The last song on the dvd, their cover of 'seasons in the sun' is nice. anyone agree?

good times, good times

I bought it and only dislike one track from all the discs...And that is Beans.

Ill tell you how he was a dick. How about not playing Smells Like Teen Spirit because that was what almost all of the audience came to hear them play. What kind of asshole takes someone's hard earned cash and not deliver?
