NIRVANA BOX SET OUT NOV. 23
MTV.com
Nirvana will finally release their long-awaited box set, "With The Lights Out", on November 23. The box set was delayed because of legal issues between the surviving members of Nirvana (bassist Krist Novoselic and drummer Dave Grohl) and Courtney Love, Kurt Cobain's widow.
"With The Lights Out" features 81 tracks, 68 of those tracks never before released to the public. The box set consists of 3 audio CD's and 1 DVD, which includes live and rehearsal footage as well as 20 full-length videos.
What do I think about Nirvana? I liked Nirvana. But they weren't the best band out of the early 1990s' Seattle scene, although some people tend to think they were. My favorite Nirvana songs included "Come As You Are", "Territorial Pissings", "Rape Me", and their David Bowie cover "The Man Who Sold The World".
Cobain died in April 1994, way before his time. He still had a lot to bring to the table musically. But he decided that he didn't want to go on anymore. That was his problem and it's our loss as music fans.
Grohl has gone on to front the Foo Fighters, one of the most successful rock bands of the past 10 years. Novoselic has been involved in various political activities. He worked with JAMPAC and attempted to run for lieutenant governor of Washington in 2003, but dropped his bid.
