Band name Nirvana Founded in 1987 at Northwestern University of Political Science and Law in Maryland, USA Disbanded in 1994 Band members Pat Smear Chad Channing Kurt Cobain Jason Everman Dave Grohl Krist Novoselic Genre type Rock Style type Alternative Pop/Rock (alternative pop/ Rock) Grunge is a rock band that was born in the late 1980s and became very popular in the 1990s. In the 1990s, the unemployment crisis in the United States resurfaced, punk music exploded again in the music industry, and Seattle's grunge music storm caused a strong response and sensation. It was against this background that Nirvana was born. Soul man Kurt Cobain and former The Melvins band member Krist (later changed to Chris) Novoselic formed the core of the band. The band's drummer and band name changed several times, and Dave Grohl's drummer position was fixed when recording the second album. Kurt plays lead vocals and guitar, and Chris plays bass guitar. The band's name means: Perfect Blessing. Nirvana released its first single record: LoveBuzz/BigCheese in November 1988 and its first album: "Bleach" in June 1989. Since then, Nirvana has entered the world rock scene from an underground music band. In April 1991, Nirvana officially signed a contract with Geffen Records. In September of the same year, "Nevermind" was released and ranked 144th on the US Billboard chart in its first week. On January 11, 1992, it became the number one selling album in the United States. The album, which was recorded in just one and a half weeks, was not initially favored by the record company. Facts have proved that the album was very popular in the United States, and the first batch of 50,000 copies was quickly sold out. For a while, supply exceeded demand. The single "Smells Like Teen Spirit" was frequently played on MTV and made the band famous. In early 1992, the song reached the top 10 of the US charts. "Nevermind" finally knocked Michael Jackson's "Dangerous" from the top of the album chart. Not long after, it reached the top 10 in the UK charts. By February alone, the album had sold 30 million copies. At the same time, band members frequently participate in various tours and awards events. During a "Saturday Night Live" performance, they imitated Jimi Hendrix by burning guitars and destroying equipment on stage, and Novoselic and Grohl actually hugged and kissed in public, which brought the atmosphere to a boil. Kurt Cobain thought their success was just a coincidence. "There are at least 15 bands in the United States that are better than us. If they want to, they can do it." Kurt's creative style left a deep impression on others during this recording. He often messed up a few minutes before recording. Change the melody and lyrics. Drummer Dave said that he did not want to be a spokesperson for the "lost generation", although public opinion calls them that. In 1992, Kurt married Courtney Love, the lead singer of another underground rock band, "Hole". It was soon announced that their child would be born that fall. But by then there were rumors that the couple were both heavy heroin addicts. This statement seemed to be confirmed when Nirvana canceled their summer concerts one after another. Cobain argued that it was because he suffered from chronic stomach problems. But when someone wrote in a newspaper that Love continued to take drugs during her pregnancy, there was an uproar. Naturally, Cobain and Love severely criticized this article. On August 18, 1992, Love gave birth to a healthy baby. However, due to the influence of the article, according to the Los Angeles Child Protection Ordinance, the baby girl named France Bean Cobain was separated from the baby as soon as she was born. The parents were estranged, and it was not until early 1993 that the Cobains regained custody of her. Nirvana has not lost its status as an underground rock band just because of its success. They collected the previous Singles' Side-B songs and some unreleased songs together, and released the album "Incesticide" on December 15, 1992. Band members stated that the purpose of this record was to test the limits of underground rock acceptance by listeners and radio DJs. "Whether they are fans listening to the radio or watching MTV, I really want to test whether they can tolerate our record." Compared with the previous two albums, "Incest" is even more weird and bizarre. Since it has no concept of integrity, it fully embodies the extreme and contradictory aspects of "Nirvana".

The album reached number 39 on the US chart and number 14 on the UK chart. In September 1993, the album "In Utero" was released. The company invited famous producer Steve Albini to supervise their records. Unfortunately, Cobain attempted suicide due to a heroin overdose at this time, which almost caused Nirvana to collapse. At the same time, DGC was extremely dissatisfied with the non-commercial treatment of the "In Utero" demo. So R.E.M's producer Scott Litt took over and took Albini's place. Its success undoubtedly injected a shot in the arm into "Nirvana", which was in internal and external troubles. Once this album was released, it topped the charts in the UK and the US. The increasing sophistication of the band's own skills coupled with more rigorous production gave this record a very professional feel. The arrangement of the instruments and the mixing effect make people feel that Nirvana is no longer the band that liked to perform on small stages. On November 18, 1993, Nirvana was invited to produce the Unplugged concert for MTV. The three members of the band sat on stools for the rare occasion, dressed cleanly and neatly, and performed a concert that felt better than they imagined. "The day before the performance, we were still discussing whether we would sit there like idiots, but when the camera slowly panned over, we suddenly felt better." "You know, logically speaking, this kind of concert would not be possible. It was so good, I mean, we didn't like it at all, but it turned out to be quite satisfying, and we were surprised and happy. A month later, MTV aired the concert across the United States. They toured Europe again. But while in Rome, Cobain had thoughts of suicide, and people discovered his suicide note. On March 1, 1994, Nirvana's performance in Munich, Germany, became the band's last public performance. After returning to China, Cobain was forced to a rehabilitation center for drug rehabilitation, but after only two days, he successfully escaped from the hospital. On April 5, 1994, Kurt Cobain shot himself. An electrician discovered him at work. Kurt Cobain's body was accompanied by a suicide note. At the funeral, his widow Courtney dictated this suicide note in public. In November 1994, the recording of Nirvana's performance on MTV was released as the album "Unplugged in New York". Chris, the bass guitarist of the original band, selected 16 songs from more than 100 hours of concert recordings and released them as "From the Muddy Banks Of The Wishkah" for the TV show "MTV New York Unplugged". The program was recorded in November, and MTV began to play it repeatedly five months later. At that time, Cobain had just committed suicide. Today, it seems that it was Nirvana that changed the mode and style of unplugged performances, and gave music fans a sense of security at the time. It had a huge impact and sparked a trend of recording unplugged albums. “If you were to ask what led to that one performance of ours being so gloomy,” Pat Smil said, “well, all I can say is. You, are the cause of fear. We never thought about performing in a place like that, we were so nervous. "Northwestern University of Political Science and Law-Xizheng Online avoided their popular hit "Youth Heart" in this performance, sang six covers, and invited guests to attend. All MTV clichés were not exempted. Judging from the band's expression, it can be seen that It can be seen that they were very nervous at the time, but the music saved them, and when they focused on the performance, the nervousness was cleared. The show producer said: "We asked other members of the band to make necessary speeches to introduce their personal situations. , except Cobain, who has been dodging. Later we no longer forced him. We understand that he has his own way of expression and attitude. But later, Cobain asked us to take a shot of him smiling. I think in this smile, he left us a certain hint. After 5 months, he left us.
