Music by AntiCon
Nirvana was an American rock band formed in Aberdeen, Washington, in 1987. Founded by lead singer and guitarist Kurt Cobain and bassist Krist Novoselic, the band went through a succession of drummers, most notably Chad Channing, and then recruited Dave Grohl in 1990. Nirvana's success popularized alternative rock, and they were often referenced as the figurehead band of Generation X. Their music maintains a popular following and continues to influence modern rock culture.
In the late 1980s, Nirvana established itself as part of the Seattle grunge scene, releasing its first album, Bleach, for the independent record label Sub Pop in 1989. They developed a sound that relied on dynamic contrasts, often between quiet verses and loud, heavy choruses. After signing to major label DGC Records in 1991, Nirvana found unexpected mainstream success with "Smells Like Teen Spirit", the first single from their landmark second album Nevermind (1991). A cultural phenomenon of the 1990s, Nevermind was certified Diamond by the RIAA and is credited for ending the dominance of hair metal.
Characterized by their punk aesthetic, Nirvana's fusion of pop melodies with noise, combined with their themes of abjection and social alienation, brought them global popularity. Following extensive tours and the 1992 compilation album Incesticide and EP Hormoaning, the band released their highly anticipated third studio album, In Utero (1993). The album topped both the US and UK album charts, and was acclaimed by critics. Nirvana disbanded following Cobain's suicide in April 1994. Various posthumous releases have been overseen by Novoselic, Grohl, and Cobain's widow Courtney Love. The posthumous live album MTV Unplugged in New York (1994) won Best Alternative Music Performance at the 1996 Grammy Awards.
Nirvana is one of the best-selling bands of all time, having sold more than 75 million records worldwide. During their three years as a mainstream act, Nirvana received an American Music Award, Brit Award and Grammy Award, as well as seven MTV Video Music Awards and two NME Awards. They achieved five number-one hits on the Billboard Alternative Songs chart and four number-one albums on the Billboard 200. In 2004, Rolling Stone named Nirvana among the 100 greatest artists of all time. They were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in their first year of eligibility in 2014.
Cobain became disenchanted after early touring because of the band's inability to draw substantial crowds and the difficulty in supporting themselves financially. During their first few years playing together, Novoselic and Cobain were hosts to a succession of drummers. Eventually, the band settled on Chad Channing, with whom Nirvana recorded the album Bleach, released on Sub Pop Records in 1989. Cobain, however, became dissatisfied with Channing's style and subsequently fired him. He and Novoselic eventually hired Dave Grohl to replace Channing. Nirvana played many gigs and shows around Olympia Washington. Grohl helped the band record their 1991 major-label debut, Nevermind. With Nevermind's lead single, "Smells Like Teen Spirit", Nirvana quickly entered the mainstream, popularizing a subgenre of alternative rock called "grunge". Since their debut, Nirvana has sold over 28 million albums in the United States alone, and over 75 million worldwide. The success of Nevermind provided numerous Seattle bands, such as Alice in Chains, Pearl Jam, and Soundgarden, access to wider audiences. As a result, alternative rock became a dominant genre on radio and music television in the U.S. during the first half of the 1990s. Nirvana was considered the "flagship band of Generation X", and Cobain found himself reluctantly anointed by the media as the generation's "spokesman". He resented this characterization, since he believed his artistic message had been misinterpreted by the public.

Nirvana never gets old. Always learn something new about them.
Back in college, I dated the woman who, a few years later, famously dated Kurt, at least for a little while, at least until Courtney found out😻
Scott, you are the hardest working man in show business! I love your style, your sensitivity, and the way your videos take me places I could never justify personally going❤
Mary Lou Lord?
In the record store they're playing Leonard Cohen in the background. Very fitting soundtrack for Kurt
I live in Olympia and my wife's from Aberdeen, we have Kurt flowing through our veigns
Love Nirvana! I was fortunate to see them live in 1993, Lakeland Fl. Breeders opened for them. It was my first concert, and by far most memorable. Great video guys!
He has a rainy day records shirt on he would remember Kevin Schultz used to work there. We lived there when Kurt lived there as well . We all lived down there during that time.
Wonderful to see Johnny again in one of your Nirvana videos. He seems like such a cool & interesting person. Appreciate him for sharing his memories for this unique perspective to reminisce about Nirvana. Wow, what was & what may have been. Nirvana truly changed everything. Much thanks to you both.
I went to Evergreen 89 to 93. Love the trip down memory lane.
I love Nirvana, their songs were amazing and still is today! Scott, you're awesome! Thank you for uploading this video ❤️

Love all the Nirvana / Kurt Cobain/ David Grohl Stories and History. This is so awesome Scott thanks for sharing all this with us, we live vicariously through your videos as most of us can't get to these places to see them. The Nirvana stuff especially. Great job Scott & great content 👍🙏

Great vid. I love how Scott let the guest roll.
Smells Like Teen Spirit was the anthem of the teenagers in the 90's. It never grows old.
We miss you Kurt❤️
Yes 🥰 was listening to brand new Aerosmith's pump album with a hard@N, and Fishbone and Nirvana, smells like teen Spirit came on drove me wild , I was like grade 8-9, 245lbs and jumped up thinking the world just changed was awesome 💯, then grade nine science they ended they aerosol hair sprays and started healing the ozone, huge change
It grew old for the whole band. Radio in my area played it so much I grew tired of it myself. I still won't listen, because Nirvana has so many other better songs that weren't even released as singles.
@@roxannemoser true , they destroyed much music with it was like shark turning in circles, but alot of other rythms came on strong running it over
This one was very special. Thank you. I was here in 2019 driving up to Vancouver to fly home to the UK and was totally unaware of the Olympia/Nirvana thing at the time. I did stop at Sleater-Kinney Road to take a photo of the sign, because I am a fan of that band. Maybe when you are back here you could do another vid with Jonny on Sleater-Kinney? I found a fly poster for them in a bar in Portland, so my trip all hung together. This was all so, so, so great. I totally loved it.
Awesome. Thanks for this. A nice surprise when I thought this series was done…
Oh man this is going to be great!! I haven’t even watched the whole thing yet Scott… but I know this is going to be epic!! Thank you as always for sharing with all ur knowledge!!! ❤✌️

Amazing video guys
Hi Scott! Love love love this video!!! So interesting to see all the small venues Kurt preferred and enjoyed doing back in the day-didn’t realize just how small they actually were until your video tonight and his favorite hangouts. Seeing them I can truly understand now how he felt about it being so intimate with his fans at that time. Also enjoyed seeing his picture and location where they decided to hang it in the restaurant. Also enjoyed Johnny Nirvana with you taking us down memory lane sooo cool! And you know how much I love your sense of humor Scott-the ending of the video was hilarious!!!!! Thank you and much love. ❤
Thank you Coco!!

awesome stories where it all started for Cobain, I luv Nirvana ❤️🩹 RIP Kurt
Hey Scott !! love your videos,great work you do man. ....Greetings from sweden
thanks for posting on IG that this was up or else I would not have looked!
Love this. Thanks 👍🏻
Hey Olympia that's my hometown! Downtown has changed so much. It's just full of down-and-out people 😟 I started going downtown in '95 we had a wonderful music scene, outdoor festivals and just an all-around good vibe. I thought I would always love Olympia downtown but you couldn't pay me to go down there now for any reason. Thanks for stopping by and thanks for the video. Also there's still some old timers that are around if you go into the Clipper bar or McCoy's tavern or the Reef you will run into people who knew him personally and more than likely get first-hand account stories you may not have ever heard before.
Y’all are awesome together.
Greetings from Greece! Nice video, thanks!
Absolutely love everything Kurt Cobain ❤️
You get to meet alot of people very close to him. That's awesome Scott.
I know a few people that dissappear with the joint 😆
Great video bro
✌️😎
My hometown. Also, proud evergreen alumni.
Totally unrelated… I knew that was you on the Glee documentary! Once it was confirmed I was so proud to see you! Keep up the awesomeness that is you. I hope one day to shake your hand! …… RIP Kurt ❤
A friend of mine went to Annandale HS with Dave. Lucky girl 👍.... More cool spots to visit. Thanks Scott 💯
I know I'm gonna dig this!!!!
Great content
awesome vid once again scott..... ; )
Kurt 🖤🤘, Thanks scott x
I'm very excited to share with you that last night at the Grammys Nirvana won the life time achievement award.... so happy 😊 ❤✌️ It's also good to see Dave back out here doing his Thang...
Great tour. ❤ A few years ago at the Isle of Wight festival here in the UK Seasick Steve and Foo Fighters shared the bill. Both Steve and Dave Grohl recounted a tale on stage of how they had met at a small show in Olympia or Washington when Steve was a drifter and hadn’t seen each other again until that festival in 2009. They both seemed quite emotional about it. I’m pretty sure Steve said it was one of Dave’s first sets with Nirvana. I can’t help but wonder now if it was the party in the mods!
Wow! You both done an amazing job on this 😎👍 I really enjoyed listening to all the old Nirvana stories of Kurt and the band! Thanks for this awesome Nirvana vlog was super interesting! And Scott hope all is well my friend hope you have a awesome new year and wish you all the best! ✌️ you’ve came a long ways my brother so very proud of you Scott 👊👊👊 Kurt would be proud of you man.
