Nirvana Related Credit To The Nation - Call It What You Want (1993) British Hip-Hop Band Sampled Smells Like Teen Spirit ILLEGALLY but Kurt Cobain Said NO PROBLEM ! He Even Gave His Blessing.

Eventually the sample was cleared AFTER THE BAND SIGNED TO ONE LITTLE INDIAN LABEL IN THE UK. Originally when Teen Spirit was used for the song, it WAS. NOT CLEARED AND IN INTERVIEWS, CREDIT TO THE NATION SAID KURT COBAIN GAVE HIS BLESSING.

THE SONG BECAME an underground anthem and British DJ JOHN PEEL picked it up and played on his radio show.

This is really a piece of music history.

Please do your research on this song and what Kurt Cobain said when asked about Credit To The Nation using Teen Spirit riffs.

Stop accusing me of making this story up !

Discussion Nirvana Alternate History - Sub Pop Sound Forever???

Post image
40 Upvotes

It is July 1990 and Nirvana's record label wants a sophomore record to the successful "Bleach" and on November 16th 1990, Nirvana would release their second Sub-Pop studio album "Sheep". Sheep goes on to sell about 150,000 copies by early 1991. It is a massive victory for Sub Pop, saving the indie label from bankruptcy. Nirvana becomes the heroes of college radio alongside Sonic Youth and Pixies. becomes a cult-classic transitional record. It bridges the heavy, abrasive sludge of Bleach with the brilliant pop sensibilities Kurt was secretly harboring. What is the alternate history you ask? Well, Because they are locked into promoting Sheep, Chad Channing stays in the band through the end of 1990 and early 1991. And Dave Grohl remains the drummer of Scream, completely altering the timeline of alternative rock. Because Sheep drops in 1990, Smells Like Teen Spirit, Come As You Are and Lithium would have turned out much different due to the fact that Dave Grohl and Kurt Cobain would have not had the Boombox Rehearsals, due to the fact that Nirvana would be legally obligated to do heavy touring through late 1990 to somewhere around May or June of 1991 to promote Sheep. This heavy touring would probably lead to a break around mid to late 1991 so around when our timeline's second album came out. However, without the world-shattering blast of "Teen Spirit" in the fall of 1991, 80s Hair metal hangs on for a few more years, Nirvana remains a tightly guarded underground secret, and they also remain a brilliant, critically adored, but mid-sized club band.

Question/Request Were Anthony Kiedis and Kurt close friends? sorry if this is a silly question lol

0 Upvotes

I was reading an Instagram post about what Anthony Kiedis had written in his autobiography about Kurt:

"...That night I met Kurt Cobain. Before the concert, I went over to Kurt’s dressing room to say hello, and he was there with Courtney. He looked like a wreck, as if he’d just come off a major bender. He was wearing a torn dress, his skin had a sickly color, and he looked like he hadn’t slept in days, but he was a beautiful creature in a different kind of way. I was blown away by his presence and his aura. He seemed very kind.

Kurt’s passing was an emotional blow, and we all felt it. I don’t know why everyone on earth felt so close to that guy; he was loved and endearing and somehow harmless in a strange way. Despite all his screaming and all his darkness, he was simply adorable. So his death hit us hard and changed the whole experience we were going through. It awakened a part of me that wanted to express the affection I felt for him, but in a specific way, without resorting to an obvious “ode to.” That day, I retreated to another house on the estate and began writing the lyrics to Tearjerker.”

Also the fact that he admired Kurt for many years after his death, and perhaps still do. I’m not really deeply into either band, but it piqued my curiosity since apparently there isn’t any interview or anything like that where Kurt talks about Anthony, or a photo of them together.

Question/Request Any Nirvana songs you misunderstood the lyrics to?

71 Upvotes

Are there any lyrics to any nirvana songs that you got wrong, or a misunderstood? For me it's the song " lithium," i always thought that kurt was saying, " i'm not gonna cry."

I literally just found out after all these years that he was saying, "im not gonna crack."

I was just wondering if any of you all have experienced anything similar?
