Songs and Cover Versions

And I never want to hear anything more by Nirvana than I already have, thanks much. 

Haven't heard it, is there somewhere it can be heard?  My previous comment considered, I wonder what hash he made of that?  Morbid curiosity is a funny thing.

Exhibit B if the jury gets hung on the first charge.

Nirvana's mainstream music, their big studio releases, while very good, do not do them justice.

Their real power was being recorded as a live band. Sort of like Kiss. Studio cuts are never the same. The studio cuts were always sort of disapointing and flat. Raw and powerful, but they edited out all of the emotion of the live sound where Kurt could really strut his stuff.

The Outcesticides, the out takes, cuts, snips, live recordings, bootlegs, the things that really showed true talent, the good stuff™, the real deal, was available through European markets. It was about 30 cds worth of material plus a couple of videos. Lots of other sets too. Most of the really good stuff never sold here in the US because the big name studio didn't want to cut in to album sales of Nevermind or In Utero. There were other "live" boxed sets. Some of them I am still looking for. They would get up on stage, and in the middle of a performance, some times in the middle of a song, Kurt would just stop. And everything would just sort of die out and get quiet. Instead of playing their big hit singles, which Kurt felt had no soul, he would bust in to classics, which the band would follow in on. Beatles tunes, the Stones, classic punk, accoustic stuff, really really old rhythm and blues gospel, weird stuff. Stuff you wouldn't expect to hear at a concert. Like Ledbelly's Where Did You Sleep Last Night or Billie Holiday tunes. The people that know, the people that have heard this music, this is why so many say that Kurt changed the music world and why he had so much influence. The man was musical and gifted. The studio cuts boxed him in and forced him to play in a certain style, limiting the scope of what he was truly capable of. And people still judge him by that standard, when they really don't know what he was capable of. There is a huge backlog of material that could be released... That the surviving members of Nirvana want to have released, to really show what Kurt was like away from the studio. His wife is being a real bitch about that though and will not allow it. :angry:

It's not fair that people judge Nirvana based on the major label recordings.

As for the comment about Nirvana's drummer being better... It's because he is mimicking Nirvana perfectly. What you are hearing now is no different than the stuff that Nirvana previously put out. Flawless execution.
