    Nirvana strategically using their fame to promote other artists that influenced them tells you so much about kurt and about Nirvana as a whole. Kurt - but all of them really - will always be respected by the underground for how strict their morality was when it came to how to approach being famous in the music industry. I believe that they never "sold out" and in utero is a perfect example of that.

      Ahkmed TheClockKid they sold out. Every artist ends up selling out. Because name me one musician who doesn’t want to be famous and have money. Matter of fact name me one human who doesn’t want that.

      Decland Girouard I definitely agree that, artistically, they didn’t sell out. But when they were in the room with the business men signing the contract, they def didn’t refuse.
      Their music is still awesome either way.

      Mr Sea Turtle you’re 100% right. I guess “sold out” isn’t the correct term more so just jumped at the opportunity to gain fame. Which is something that no one would pass up. So it’s not like I’m blaming them or anything
      But I still never suggested that nirvana having talent meant they sold out. I still respect these guys immensely

      ‘Selling Out’ is making the album they want and expect you to make. Nirvana ALWAYS HAD CONTROL OVER EVERYTHING. They didn’t sell out in the least, and if any of you were smart, you’d recall the band realized that Sub Pop wasn’t able to support them as artists. They needed to sign to DGC.

    I saw Nirvana at the Club Soda in Kalamazoo Michigan in the fall of 1989. Fantastic show forever etched in my mind! After their set Kurt walked through the empty dance floor of that small club and I stopped him to say how much I loved the show. There were maybe 20 people there. We talked for a bit and I sang him one of my songs. Unbelievable!!

      I think his talents as a lyricist are underrated. It was probably difficult for him to be truly objective about his own work; ie., sometimes great artists can’t comprehend their own greatness. I bet if he’d lived a long enough life to distance himself from his songs, he would’ve developed a greater appreciation of his lyric writing abilities.

    The mention of Stevie Nicks' Bella Donna album made me remember how much I loved the duet she did with Tom Petty (R.i.P.) "Draggin' My Heart Around" which was featured on that album!! I never owned a copy of that album, but my exposure to that song was via the video for it which was on major rotation back in M-TV's first year when they only had a relative handful of videos to play per-day and was a regular feature over the years to come. That collaboration featured amongst the best male and female vocalists in the mainstream Rock genre at that time, and their combined performances on that song were complimentary to, and well-matched with, one another -- both for authentically delivering the tone of the subject matter in the lyrics and for the musical arrangement around their vocal performances.

      They seem to think that Kurt was this was naive, innocent, mentally dysfunctional baby who didn't understand a single thing about the world and was confused by the most basic of concepts.
      Kurt knew above anyone that Nirvana was a business and treated it exactly as that. He shopped around for the record company to make them the biggest in the world, made the right connections, played the game and was incredibly savvy. Goldberg made him as famous as he wanted, he made Goldberg money and he adored Goldberg like a father.
      That's not to say his music wasn't sincere also but that this myth that he was some poor, confused, frightened little boy who didn't want any of it is ridiculous. He lost interest as his addiction worsened but he did everything he could to be famous.

      Yea. Exactly. And if there is ANY good reason to sell out its to be an artist. Can’t fucking be an artist without selling art. It’s the one thing you HAVE to do.
      People mean to say that they changed their sound to appease boring people. That’s so very often not true. Most bands that intend to please as many people as possible almost always tried to and probably just sucked at it in the beginning.
      “Selling out” is barely ever a thing. It’s happened but it’s a very naive way of trying to communicate a feeling of losing intimacy with a band due to them being well known.
      People really project their own shit onto everyone else. They really do.

He he wanted to do great music and art and have recognition for it and be able to make a living, meeting great artists... well, basically just have his talent recognized. But he wasn't interested with everything that was involved with being famous. I mean, the public persona and everything.

    I have no problem believing that Kurt was just as ambitious as any other artist that makes it to that level of popularity, but I think he was for the right reasons which isn't something that can be said for most other celebrities imo. He had something to say and wanted as many people as possible to hear it whereas people like Courtney only pursued fame solely for the purpose of being famous. Why you pursue something is just as important as what you're pursuing.

    Vanity Fair basically killed Kurt. It was the straw that broke the camel's back. People tend to forget that Danny Goldberg worked for Led Zeppelin and was already rich by the time Nirvana came along. I think Kurt gave it his best shot (as anyone would do) and accidentally overshot his goals. He didn't realize how mega big they were going to be and couldn't handle all the trappings that came with the level of success Nirvana achieved.

    • @stevef9876
      @stevef9876 4 года назад +1

      Yes, I agree. I was 24 at the time. Danny never advised Kurt that a journalist doesnt have to bring a video camera to a Kurt interview, a tape recorder was suffice. And that would of been a relief to Kurt not being "seen" in an interview that was not to be video taped.

    • @joebrewer4529

      He says as much and that one documentary was just his interviews they enjoyed anonymity on the level that they had before they became globally famous. You know you just couldn't go in a thrift store any more anything like that. Wish the people that enjoy that sort of thing it would be annoying to do what you did before and be recognized all the time. I'm going to go out on limb and say Elvis probably had a problem with that towards the end of his life. At some point you just want anonymity so you can just live a normal life. But for some reason modern entertainment just as a screwed up thing to people's brains and they become obsessed.

      the choice of amps and mics and studio has a huge if not bigger impact on why it sounds that way. Then of course the band itself obviously.. they are making the arrangements. Even just watching that thing they mentioned where big isolates the tracks- it already sounds like the finished product just rougher.
