I prefer 89 to early 91. You know before Kurt died from inside due heroin addiction.

duh

They had two career's sort of b4 is just as good only more raw after nevermind it was the famous nirvana both are great but obe is kinds sad

Bleach era better

@@OGGOAT23 the equivalent to "I was into them before they were cool"

Like, 'Top that Axl' 🤣🤣🤣

I always thought of his wave going off stage as an honest thank you and appreciated the crowd.

He admitted sarcastically in an interview when asked why they smash their set. He said "climax, and it gets them out of playing encores"

Pretty genius idea if you just want to end the night's work and not be pressured by an encore. Fuck it all up and then we can't possibly play!

In a Nirvana bio I read awhile ago that they would just buy a bunch of cheap used guitars in cities they toured in cuz they kept breaking them so much.

Well as for the Marshall Cabs, if the cloth gets torn it'd would just be taped up just like how Kurt always had tape over the Marshall logo, and as for Kurt puncturing the speakers (which Kurt said was his favorite thing to do) they would just easily replace the damage speakers.... And the guy talking Barrett Jones is Dave Grohl's friend and was Dave's Drum Tech, And owns "Laundry Room" studios where Nirvana recorded "Return of the Rat", "Curmudgeon", "Oh The Guilt", "Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle", "Very Ape" on April 7, 1992 (also in April 92' Nirvana recorded an Instrumental version of "Frances Farmer" & "Forgotten Tune") and in November 1992 Kurt recorded his Guitar noise for "The Priest they Called Him" that was a long distance recording 7" of Kurt & William Burroughs. So as Barrett Jones was Dave's Drum Tech, Kurt's Guitar Tech was Earnie Bailey and Big John Duncan (Ex-Guitarist of the Punk band "The Exploited")

Job security

@@rychcorporhate what about jim vincent?

@@mirata7748 well Kurt had 2 guitar techs, he had Earnie Bailey and Big John Duncan and on the In Utero Tour, (Big John Duncan was there) but Earnie Bailey wasn't on the tour that much so that's why there was Jim Vincent.... But in the footage I've seen of the American In Utero Tour Big John Duncan always dealt with Kurts guitars. So I think Jim Vincent may of been there as Pat Smears Guitar Tech.

yeah, I'm pretty sure that was me...

She also used to take him to jazz bars in DC.

Dude, you can't smash stuff! I had a Thunderbird epiphone bass. 1st time we played one of our sings live and the e string popped the last 5 notes. I snahes it on the amp and a truss on the stage floor. We got banned from the club! The kids loved it! I signed all the pieces and gave em away. We had a tour start in 2-3 months from that show! Had to tell my manager "yea we had a problem at Brass Mug" LMADO! He wasnt too happy but it was no big deal, mibed the show to a different part of Tampa FL

@@xx7secondsxx none of this happened 💀 good try though

In their early days, Kurt would often smash and break the neck on his guitars and then fix them himself

The funny thing is, they couldn’t afford to replace the destruction for most of their careers either

If the club made $10k off of your band they wouldnt give a shit

I cancel the 5.April...it was just a Bad Dream!

I agree

Most bands don't age well at all.

@@gergnotsloh Radiohead has yet to drop a bad album

Cobain would have ruined it all anyway. He couldn't handle anything, let alone worldwide fame. He was determined to ruin it, and unfortunately did so in the worst way possible.

You have a zany malik picture. I like it

Chaka is a Black Graffiti Artist in Los Angeles, and he was Huge in the Early 90's and his Graffiti was all over the place and he was like Mysterious no one knew who "Chaka" was and while Nirvana was in Los Angeles, recording Nevermind, Dave saw Chaka Graffiti on a Bill Board, so that's why In the "Smells Like Teen Spirit" Music Video, you see Chaka written on the Bass Drum... And During the Nevermind American Tour in September/October 1991 when Dave had the Yellow Tama drums on the one Tom using one of the "A" in Tama Dave Wrote Chaka on the TOM with a Sharpie.... But that Yellow Tama drum set was Smashed at the end of the October 12, 1991 - Cabaret Metro, Chicago, IL Show.

@@rychcorporhate That's an awesome bit of information. Thank you.

@@cyclinggirl3212 yer welcum,

15” racks weren’t a custom size back then, you could order a 15” or 16” rack tom from their standard catalog. Most high end drums can be ordered with a 15” still today. And the yellow kit Dave used had a 26” kick according to Krist novoselic.

Well that's certainly a possibility, given that it was 30 years ago I might not remember all of the details correctly, I do know Dave preferred the 24" kick, it was always an 18" floor, and the tom was mostly 15" , but I do not remember him ever using a 14" tom, but it's possible I guess. So the facts you are using to correct me are from me? ;)

@@gn86 I do not EVER remember having to work on or deal with a 26" kick, I know it would have been very difficult to find heads for that.

16 inch was relatively common back then, I'm not sure I ever saw an 18... I had a tama and a pearl set that both had 12 14 16. My yamaha kit was 10 12 14. 18 inches are huge, that's jazz kickdrum size right there. Tama also had really big drums compared to many of the other manufacturers. The sound back then was more thunderous than now. Currently people are often doing 10 12 14 and they leave it at that. Maybe not for metal drummers, they still like some big shells.

Been gathering info on his set up for a long time, so this is what i think he used: 24" Kick 14x8" Snare 15" Tom 18" Floortom 15" Hihat 16" Crash (sometimes) 18" Crash 20" Crash 22"/24" Ride

Yeah and he seems to be wrong about Dave being particular too because he pretty much always used the same exact set up in granstar or artstar

They gave ZERO fucks 🤣

Noo just imagine you could be there, as a Part of it.. I love it!

@@kirstingerson7672 it would be a blast for sure. I'm just talking about the damage control their management had to do each time they wrecked all of their gear in their shows. But because they were Nirvana they got away with it

@@Blueboi1108 Jeahh couse Nirvana means FREEDOM! 😁 yoy have a Nice Day!

Kurt would always switch to very cheap Stratocasters for the last song, then destroy it. He never destroyed his Jaguar, etc.

@Brady41124 It’s not just about the money, it’s on principle. Items like those would be such blessings to kids in low income areas, they of all people should know that. Beyond that it’s wasteful. I love Nirvana to death but this will forever perplex me.

@@brisahiggins6970 I can't disagree, you're right

The who did it all first

and better

Who cares about them

@@RadicalSharkRS they still touring 😂

@@sdrob6374 "Who"?

If nirvana played any of those instruments they would be incredibly expensive.

Ok ok ok but leave little Freedom for there own Performance.. Maybe.. they need it more, than somebody needs an Instrument! Look Kurt is Death, he will never need an Instrument, maybe living this Rage on Stage, was Everything he got!

@@kirstingerson7672 I certainly respect their right to give their performance any way that they want to. I grew up poor and it would have meant the world to me to have access to equipment such as that being destroyed. You can also see musicians giving their equipment away at shows sometimes. I prefer seeing that. Clearly, whichever option the performer takes is truly up to them, however.

@@wallebo understand.. But everybody, and everything in its Right Place and Time.. Different Ways to Support.. NIRVANA Nirvana has given endless support to countless youngsters, it still works today, respect!

@@kirstingerson7672 Cool. Thanks for replying.
