This band, which is deeply loved by MTV generation, is composed of Kurt Cobain (lead singer and guitarist; Born in Seattle on February 20th,1967; April 5, died in Seattle 1994), KristNooselic (bassist; Born in1May 1965 16), DaveCrohl (drummer; Born in 1969 65438+ 10/4). When they recorded their first album Bleach, they only had a poor recording fee of $600, and their second album Never mind brought them great commercial success. Cobain's unique slow, dreamy poetry, fast chorus and restless harmony fascinated countless fans and made them crazy. ? ....................................................................................................................................................... ........................... Before that, their latest album "In the womb" sold well all over the world. Nirvana left only restlessness and deepest loneliness in their music. 1On April 8th, 994, rock idol Kurt Cobain committed suicide in the greenhouse at his home in Seattle. A bullet penetrated his skull and found an excessive amount of heroin in his blood. Officials believe that he committed suicide, but the rumor is not so. Some people think that Kotekuben was killed by others, probably the closest person around him. Recently, a documentary has collected and arranged this in detail, which may objectively answer this question or inadvertently reveal the truth. The documentary Kurt and Courtney (Kurt &; COURTNEY) began to search for Kuben's birthplace, covering northern Washington, Seattle and California. The filmmaker interviewed the people concerned, his wife and courtney love, a female rocker. Kurt and Courtney combines video scripts, dialogue clips and unpublished photos to show the audience an amazing and ugly scene. Kurt Kuben, the soul of Nirvana, a junk rock band, was born in Aberdeen, Washington, which is a settlement of manual workers. It was here that the filmmaker interviewed his relatives, friends and acquaintances. They hold different views on suicide. Interviewers included Aunt Mary, who gave Kurt audio equipment (she first supported Kurt to engage in rock music); A middle school teacher who once took Kurt in and provided him with accommodation for one year; Tracy Miranda, an ex-girlfriend who spent three years; Buy a gun for his friend Dylan Carlson; Tom Grant, a private investigator hired by his wife Courtney (Tom Grant now thinks Courtney has an unshirkable responsibility for Kurt's death); And Courtney's father, Hank Harrison (Hank Harrison once said that he knows best what's going on in his daughter's mind).

In an interview, Courtney's father and her old lover Rozz Rezabek pointed out that Courtney is an ambitious and resourceful woman, and she may use Courtney to gain fame and money. Many people also believe that Courtney's threat of divorce is part of the reason for Kurt's suicide. However, the producer rejected the idea of murder in the film, so at the end of the film, why and how did Kurt Cobain die? This question has not been settled. This documentary belongs to the Cinemax ReellLife documentary series. Cinemax ReellLife specializes in making documentaries about social celebrities, and has won Oscar, Oscar and Amy Awards.

Full memory: 25 highlights in the process of nirvana!

Nirvana is never a band that only complains about the dark side of life (such as drug abuse and suicide). Like other great rock bands, they secretly changed at least part of the world with their own music. Let's recall the 25 highlights of their whole journey as a sincere commemoration.

25. Love buzzes

This song was originally composed by the Dutch rock band "Shock Blue" on 1968. Nirvana's cover version has a new meaning: the chaotic and slightly metallic style brings out Kurt Ke Ben's lightest guitar improvisation. It was introduced by Krist Novoselic's wise and ethereal bass, and then an ocean of sound feedback and heavy rock broke out. "Love buzz" can easily distinguish Nirvana from other artists under the sub-popularity. More importantly, this song "Buzz of Love" is the first single recorded by Nirvana. We can know that Nirvana proved to people at that time that they created a brand-new kind of music-junk rock.

Wonderful moment: opening time 15 seconds, Ke Ben's guitar roared into the first chord.

Series: bleach (subprop1989)

24. Dress up for the Tent Ball

Time:1991101October 25th.

Riki Rachtman is a heavy metal program "TheHeadbanger's" on MTV.

The host of the ball). The band he was looking for was definitely different from the previous band. It must become popular quickly, and it must be completely different from the bands that appeared in tent ball programs in the past. He finally chose Nirvana. Unfortunately, before he went on the show, Ke Ben was carried away by what was in the cup.

"When he appeared, he was wearing his usual street clothes," Ricky Rodman recalled. "Then he went to the dressing room." In Ke Ben's own words, he had talked to Courtney the night before the performance.

Love) loitering all night-drinking and having sex, and I don't want to talk to anyone when I'm sleepy. As a result, at the beginning of the program, he strolled out of the dressing room in a yellow pajamas. The whole person looks like a ball. He said to Ricky Rogerman, "This program is called Tent Ball, which seems to suit me just right."

Ricky Rodman doesn't think so. He later said: "He wears funny clothes like that, which is equivalent to saying to us, idiot, let me get out of bed and leave me alone!"

23. Lithium

Li's guitar and chords are as restless as an igniter, which shows Ke Ben's infinite fascination with those strange melodies and twisted guitars. This song appeared with their more famous song "smokes Like Teen Spirit" (the band's self-reflection is considered to be too flattering to the public interest). The hoarse voice and simple lyrics shaped the image of a fraternity boy. Besides rusty guitar, simple lyrics are also interesting: I am so ugly, but it doesn't matter, because at least you are at the bottom.

Wonderful moment: 38 seconds after the opening of the song, Ke Ben's singing slowed down, "Yeah, yeah, yeah ..."

Including: it doesn't matter (Geffen 199 1)

22. Guitarist Pat Smith joined Nirvana.

Time: 1993 10 month

"Before the publication of In utero, I read an interview about Ke Ben. He said that Nirvana would become a band of four, and they were looking for the right guitarist. I think the person they are looking for is me. " Pat Smyer later explained. Pat Smith has been a friend of Kony Love since 1980s, so he began to ask his friends for Ke Ben's phone number, but Cobain called him first because he heard that Pat Smith had a private tape of bacteria. Later, Pat Smith gave Ke Ben this private tape that he had been with for 15 years. He became a new member of Nirvana, composed music with Ke Ben, Ques Novoselich and david grohl in Seattle, and toured the United States after the band was released in the womb.

"This is a fascinating tour, and I think everyone in the band is very friendly and interesting. I think performing with them is the happiest thing in my life. " Pat Smith said. After the disintegration of Nirvana, Pat Smith and Dave Gro began to cooperate in Foo Fighters until 1997.

2 1. Nirvana eliminated "Long Hair Metal"

Time: before September 199 1.

"Hair metal" refers to heavy metal music played by men who wear fiber pants and have long hair. Americans who grew up in the 1980s are familiar with this kind of music. However, with the release of Never mind, the bands that composed these music before, such as Poison, found that their "achievements" had been usurped, and "long hair metal" was no longer the favorite of teenagers, and they had a new choice-junk music. People call this musical phenomenon "alternative revolution". This phenomenon has influenced many bands and artists, such as the notorious band that already has two platinum records. Faced with the embarrassing situation that the scenery is no longer there, the band tried to cater to the fans in the external image. They started to wear worn-out jeans and second-hand clothes bought from flea markets, only to get more ridicule from fans. Bret Michaels of Poison said: "We at least provided a rock party for our fans. It is puzzling that fans still flock to the scene of nirvana or mud honey. Why do they spend $60 to treat depression? "

20 "About a Girl"

Hidden in the honed debut album Bleaching, About a Girl is actually a heartbreaking ballad, which is very different from other songs in the album. Broken chords and hoarse voices are suffocating harmony and heartbreak. If "About a Girl" in "Bleaching" is still full of memories, then the unplugged version on MTV five years later reveals endless sadness and depression behind the shiny watch case.

Wonderful moment: 2 minutes and 38 seconds, the moment when Ke Ben spit out the word "I do".

Include: bleach (subprop 1989) and nirvana (new york MTV unplugged) (Geffen 1994).

19. Nirvana became a band of four.

Time:1April, 989

After bleaching was recorded, long-haired guitarist Jason ullman joined Nirvana, and the band was changed from three to four. Oman has never participated in the recording work of the band, and his only contribution to the band may only be to pay the recording fee of $ 606.438+07. As a musician, Ou Man prefers metal music to punk music. Because of this, Oman's relationship with other members of the band seems a bit out of place. It is said that Ou Man was dismissed in August 1989 due to the difference in musical concepts. Oman has always claimed that he voluntarily quit Nirvana. "I feel like an outsider," he said. "I have never been invited to participate in the creation or modification of any songs. Although I know that every band has this situation, I still offered to leave. This is not the band I am eager for. "

18. Lobes

"Tears" was published on 1990, and Dan Peters was a drummer at the time of recording. Tearing is the transition between sleepy punk improvisation in Bleaching and chaos and no melody in Never mind. By telling the story of a visit to Ke Ben's grandparents, Tears constantly changes between fluent howling and sincere request. Ke Ben shouted, "Grandpa, take me home." This single produced by Butch Vig clearly guides the development route of Never mind. After making this album, Butchweig helped the band make a demo containing six singles, which eventually developed into Never mind. History was thus created.

Flash moment: 1 minute 2 1 second, Ke Ben sings on the top of his lungs: "After dinner, we eat ice cream."

"When we first met Nirvana, we invited them to write a single with us," recalled David Yow, the soul of the disbanded Chicago rock band Jesus Lizard. "We had a performance with them in New Jersey that day, and I fell in love with them at first sight." Despite the snowball of Nirvana's wealth, Ke Ben still maintained a good creative enthusiasm, and he enthusiastically contributed to this project. He wrote "Oh Guilt" for Jesus Lizard, which was later released in February 1993. This single helped "Jesus Lizard" reach 12 in the British singles chart, which is the band's best achievement in the pop music chart.

14. invasion 1992 reading festival (reading festival 1992)

Time:1August 30, 992

At first, it was rumored that this was the last live performance of Nirvana. Some people say that Ke Ben's soul is dead. Afterwards, people thought that the rumors were exaggerated, but Nirvana really began to decline after this performance. The positive significance of the success of this performance may only lie in exposing people's lies at that time. In addition, Ke Ben also selected some bands to perform with him that day and achieved good results. Ke Ben added a group of his favorite bands to the list of performances, and then told the organizers: "If they don't play, we won't play." These bands include L7, Pavement and Melvin. As a result, these bands successfully helped Nirvana become the real protagonist on the last day of this music festival, which people will never forget.

13. All apologies

All apologies, mixed with explicit introspection and self-doubt, have the simplest melody and erratic guitar echo. Half is self-mockery, half is repentance, and all apologies remind people of all the things that puzzled Ke Ben.

Wonderful moment: After 2 minutes 16 seconds of guitar feedback, Ke Ben sang "Yeah, Yeah, Yeah".

12. "Never mind" awakened the record company.

Time: 1992 65438+ 10 month

With the unexpected success of 199 1 It doesn't matter in the second half of the year, mainstream brands began to turn their attention to American indie music that was neglected in the past 10 years. At that time, the underground music circle had a relatively complete network, including Kill rock stars and Touch &；; Go is a mature independent music label with a large number of independent music magazines and loyal independent music fans. Many independent music producers are snared by mainstream record companies, hoping that they can find the next nirvana band. Honey syrup band is the biggest beneficiary. Mark Eminem of the band said, "Mainstream record companies smell money in indie music. They hastily signed those independent bands, hoping to bring more money to themselves. We are also one of these bands. However, we have proved to these mainstream record companies through three records that we have no commercial value to use. Haha. "

1 1. Nirvana deafened jonathan ross.

Time:199165438+February 6th.

Before participating in the BBC2 talk show "Tonight and jonathan ross", Nirvana had a great reputation, and it seems that this reputation is getting bigger and bigger. In addition, they have also participated in many TV programs, and they are already very clear about the tricks, and they are a little tired. This may be the root cause of Ke Ben's later outrageous behavior. The producer had a premonition that something was going to happen. These rock bands are always in trouble, but this time he just didn't expect it. Before the official start of the program, the band rehearsed in the afternoon according to the requirements of the TV station. Ke Ben refused to rehearse, so only Quez Novoselich and Dave Gro were present. An hour before the live broadcast, Ke Ben joined in and began to rehearse. After the broadcast, the band played the prepared lithium, but the live version was completely out of tune. Jonathan ross, a fan of the band, didn't realize that they were playing this song. When the stage supervisor signaled the band to stop playing, Ke Ben began to tear down the stage and walked away. Later, Dave apologized to his host and followed Ke Ben. Only their poor agent came to apologize sadly and said, "We will compensate for all the losses. I am really sorry. "

10. People who betray the world.

This is David Bowie's work in 1970. In the unplugged concert of MTV, Nirvana covered this song. At this time, the band Nirvana had just finished touring to support the sales of "In the womb", and Ke Ben temporarily forgot the confusion and pain between the rock star and the inner world. In this cover version, Ke Ben added more emotions and styles of his own.

Flash moment: 50 seconds, the first sentence "Oh, no, not me".

9.Dev Gro joined Nirvana.

Time:1September 25, 990

1In September, 989, the original drummer Chad Channing finally left the band because he was dissatisfied with many behaviors of Ke Ben during his tour. Nirvana began to look for the right drummer.

"I spent the past three years with other members of the band," Chad said. "It was quite a hard life. I performed around in a van without pay. I can't stand this life any longer. That's why I left. There is no unhappiness between us. " During the performance, the band tested whether the drummer who came to apply for the job was suitable for their band's style. Among them is Dan Petes from Honey Paste, who plays drums in Tears. Later, the best candidate finally fell to Dave Gro, who was a member of the hardcore band Scream in Washington, D.C. "I listened to Nirvana's Bleaching and I thought they were great," Dave Gro recalled. "Scream broke up in L.A. A friend told me that Ke Ben was looking for a drummer, so I went to see them and observed them for a few days before formally joining. Ke Ben is a child, which is my first impression when I met him. He is the kind of whimsical child who will jump off his roof to see if he can fly. He is the most special person I have ever met in my life. Seattle and Los Angeles are very different. People here are wearing strange clothes. It rained for several days, and the sun set at three o'clock in the afternoon. I don't know anyone here, but they want me to join the band. Nevertheless, I joined. It was their music that attracted me. We have the most perfect communication in the world through music, so that many times, we can know each other's meaning without talking at all. "

8. Ke Ben shocked the world.

Time: 199 1 year 1 1 month 8.

The band Nirvana made its debut in Britain and participated in a program called "The Word" on British national television. The band was asked to sing "The Taste of Youth Spirit". As you can imagine, the whole process will not be very smooth. "Nirvana asked us to do this and that like fools," said the producer. "We shortened the band's performance time according to the requirements of the program and met with fierce opposition from the band." The performance of Nirvana shocked Britain, and Ke Ben declared in the program: "Kony Love Cave Band is the most fucking awesome person in the world. I don't think it's necessary to make any nonsense introduction. Let's start the performance. " Finally, the staff left the scene with movable equipment, and the band's agent was still chasing the producer to ask for the unfair treatment of the band. Anyway, this performance made the British see the madness of Ke Ben, and paved the way for the marriage between Ke Ben and Coe Nilov.

7. Record "Young Heart"

Time:1991May 2.

Killed by his then girlfriend, Catherine Hannah (Katherine), the bikini killer.

Hannah), Ke Ben wrote The Taste of Juvenile Spirit, which finally made Nirvana the first superstar of the junk music school. The band works in a recording studio in California, and the producer is Butch Vig. Recording work is slow, and bands often stay on the sofa or play pinball games. Until one day, they started recording Young Heart, and the situation changed rapidly. Vig later recalled: "I asked them to sing this song over and over again, and then I went to another room." I said to myself, this is a great song. " I am very happy to witness its birth. "Later, Vig proposed some amendments, and Nirvana band adopted his suggestions and made some changes to the original. This single was released on1991September 10, and was quickly touted. By the end of 10, it had become a golden record, which also promoted the album "Never mind" including this single to become a platinum record.

6. Ke Ben married Nilov.

Time:1Feb. 24, 992

The wedding was originally scheduled for Valentine's Day, but Ke Ben insisted on proving property justice, which was delayed for more than a week. Before the wedding, Ralph gave birth to a baby girl for Ke Ben, and Ke Ben named his friend Dylan.

Carlson) be the godfather of the child (by the way, let him bring himself some evil cocaine). Dave Gro and Ques Novoserick, two teammates, were invited to the wedding, but their tacit understanding was destroyed because Ke Ben refused to let the latter's wife attend the wedding. "After that incident, we all pretended that nothing had happened," Ques Novoserick said. "We are still discussing the future development direction of the band. But somehow, we all seem to think that Nirvana has come to an end. This discovery makes us infinitely sad. " This marriage has given Kony Rafe a lot of financial help. The fact that she is the wife of a rock star certainly contributes to the success of her band Cave. Similarly, after Ke Ben's death, she also gained a considerable fortune and most of the music rights of Nirvana.

5. 199 1 Reading Music Festival

Time:1991August 23rd.

It was already very cold in Berkshire in August, and the performance was held on a windy afternoon. At the beginning of the performance, Silverfish ignited the audience's enthusiasm with their bulldozer-style guitar improvisation. After another well-known band "Revolver" came on stage, a little-known Seattle punk band was waiting to play, that is Nirvana. People think that they are just a small band playing noisy music with traditional three pieces. However, to everyone's surprise, the band's good live performance surprised people. "After the performance, two other members of the band walked off the stage, but Ke Ben walked to the front of the stage," a witness said. "His back to the audience, suddenly jumped up and landed heavily on the drum stage. I think he must be hurt. I saw members of Sonic Youth laughing there and thought, they must have seen Ke Ben hurt themselves like this. "Later, people saw Ke Ben drinking in the background with his arm hanging, and more people were asking each other," Did you see the man who cut himself? "

4. Pull Michael Jackson down from the peak.

Time:199165438+February 28th.

"We didn't do anything," said Ed Rosenblat, chairman of Geffen Records, triumphantly after Nirvana's record Never mind pulled Michael Jackson off the top. "We never thought this album would be on the billboard charts. After all, it is a record that is contrary to people's listening habits. " 199 1 released on September 24th, only the record company is expected to achieve gold record sales. I didn't expect to come out and rush to the leaderboard 144. It rose rapidly in less than three months, and finally Michael Jackson's Dangerous Situation was pulled down. "Never mind" has achieved such good results, of course, because it is popular among the top 40 radio stations in the United States, but the most fundamental reason lies in its superior quality. Since then, the band has become a veritable "king of junk music" and finally became the highest peak in alternative rock in the 1990s.

3. Young mind

The lyrics of A Young Man's Heart are actually common rubbish in pop music. Roaring singing style and familiar style give people the impression that this is another style of band work. In fact, it was the taste of American teenagers at that time that "shaped" it into a popular golden song, and Nirvana never admitted that it was their favorite work.

Wonderful moment: 3 minutes and 42 seconds, Ke Ben sang: "I find it difficult to find hope ... never mind."

Collection: It doesn't matter (Gefen 1993)

2. Singing in the "Pop List" program

Time: 199 1 year165438+1October 28th.

Photographers have never seen such a thing. Ke Ben, who sang Young Heart, seemed to embed his voice deeply into the microphone, and the singing method of mixing the voices of Morrissey and Captain Beaverhart was unheard of. No one knows who such a strange singer in Ke Ben comes from. They were performing in Sheffield at that time, and people were surprised to see this scene. "We toured with them," said Eugene Kelly. "When the photographers of the pop charts started to work, people crowded into the room to see what they were doing. Ke Ben: They looked shy and a little nervous, and then they started singing like that. I didn't expect the effect to be so good. This is really a mistake. "

1. Recording MTV in new york is unplugged.

Time:1993165438+10/8.

This TV program was recorded in June 5438+065438+ 10. Five months later, just after Ke Ben committed suicide, MTV began to play it again and again. Today, it seems that Nirvana changed the mode and style of unplugged performance, which had a great influence on fans at that time and triggered a recording craze for unplugged albums. "If you want to ask what caused our performance to be gloomy," Pat said with a smile, "I can only tell you that it was the fear. We never thought of performing in such a place. We are too nervous. " This performance avoided their hit single "Young People's Heart", covered six songs, invited guests to attend, and all the stereotypes of MTV were not exempted. It can be seen from the expression of the band that they were very nervous at that time, but the music saved them. When they concentrated on the performance, the tension was eliminated. The producer said, "We asked all the other members of the band to introduce themselves, except Ke Ben, who has been avoiding it. Then we won't push him. We understand that he has his own expression and attitude. But later, Ke Ben asked us to take a picture of him smiling. I think he left us a hint in this smile. Five months later, he left us. "
