- The musical genres of The Smashing Pumpkins have impacted many musicians, including Marilyn Manson, Mark Hoppus, Panic! at the Disco, and many more. However, one band took inspiration from them, especially from its lead singer Billy Corgan, despite the fact that these names openly acknowledged the band’s impact on them. The musician recently revealed to Rick Beato how Nirvana copied the sound of his guitar. - The Smashing Pumpkins collaborated with producer Butch Vig in 1991 at his Smart Studios in Madison, Wisconsin, for their debut studio album, “Gish.” The band later had the chance to collaborate with Vig once again on their second album in late 1992. While Vig assisted them in their professional endeavors, he also benefited from their cooperation. Recently, Billy Corgan reflected on his discussion of Nirvana with Vig. So, we were extremely close to Butch, he added, after hearing their song “Smells Like Teen Spirit.” Butch yells to go for what will become “Nevermind.” We we

- Interest in the figure of   Kurt Cobain   still intact today. That is what we could deduce if we take a look at the news that continues to generate so much   Nirvana   like his late vocalist. Few days ago,   his old partner Dave Grohl (Foo Fighters) considered him “the best songwriter”   of his generation and we have also   known how fame affected him . - One of the most important events on this matter will be the long-awaited biopic about the late leader of  Nirvana ‘Come As You Are’ , of which some interesting details are already known, such as the trailer that you can see below or the cast under the orders of  Alyse Kane Riley  composed by  Chase offerle ,  Farah shea ,  Chase hinton ,  Kyle harding ,  Angel garet  Y  Sage lorraine . - Far from concentrating on the most morbid aspects of the existence of  Cobain , the film is presented as a portrait of mental health, addictions, love and tragedy, as we can see  in his web page . But don’t just stick to the figure of  Kurt ,

- The feud between Nirvana and Guns N’ Roses is a notorious one. Whilst the war would never surpass the verbal, it’s still one of the most famous from the 1990s and in rock history, as the two groups represented an antithesis of one another.  Guns N’ Roses were unapologetic in their excess and had more in common with the ’80s hair metal scene than they did the grunge movement. In many ways, Nirvana and their Seattle peers were a stylistic reaction to this kind of music and off-stage behaviour, so there was no surprise, given their status, that the two would eventually come into contact and conflict. - However, it wasn’t as simple as that, and perhaps, the feud had a lot to do with Nirvana leader Kurt Cobain provoking Guns N’ Roses frontman Axl Rose. After Nirvana released their sophomore album,  Nevermind , in September 1991, they were the biggest band on the planet, and everybody wanted a piece of them.  Their music was so refreshing that Rose even stated that he was a fan of t

- The year was 1993. It was September and the school year had just started. Unless you were a pre-teener, chances are you were finishing high school or starting college (if you were friends with us). You were disenfranchised, angry, frustrated; the culture of complaint sweeping the zeitgeist was hitting your sweet spot and you were   pissed . - Stoned, living in your parents basement or the shithole you were renting in your first year, you channeled your angst through smoking cheap weed resin and blaring  Nirvana ‘s latest album,  In Utero , which had hit stores just a few short days earlier. Thinking to yourself, “God, these  Albini  (produced) drums are fucking  sick ,” you passed the time thumbing through the liner notes trying to make sense of the mouthful-of-marbles lyrics to “ Radio Friendly Unit Shifter ” which you played on repeat. Cranking up “Frances Farmer Will Have Her Revenge on Seattle” to switch it up and being awed by the bass and the wickedly abrasive sounds, yo

- The benefit show Letters To Santa: The 24 Hour Comedy And Music Marathon has been an annual Chicago tradition since 2002. This year’s installment began Monday at 6PM local time and continues until the same time today, with performers including Jeff Tweedy, Ty Segall, Bonnie “Prince” Billy, and Sally Timms and Jon Langford of the Mekons among others. Steve Albini, who served dinner to the cast of comedians live on stage last night at Constellation, also recruited Dave Grohl to do a virtual performance at the gig. - Grohl began his livestreamed set by performing “Marigold,” which was first released in 1992 under Grohl’s pseudonym Late! on the  Pocketwatch  album. Nirvana released a version of “Marigold” as a B-side to the “Heart-Shaped Box” single in 1993, becoming the only Nirvana song to feature Grohl on lead vocals. Then Foo Fighters included it on their 2006 acoustic live album  Skin And Bones , making it the only track to be released by both Nirvana and Foo Fighters. Until

- This is clearly just a joke… but it’s a good one. The official Twitter account of Yeshiva Har Torah, a Modern Orthodox elementary school in Queens, NY, has issued the following announcement: “School Dress Code Update: Students cannot wear clothing with the name of any musician or band unless the student can name at least three of their songs. - “The 8th grader who said ‘I thought Nirvana was a clothing brand,’ last week has been suspended indefinitely. “We recognize this incident has proven upsetting to some members of the Gen X community. We will be gathering to heal together. All are welcome to bring a flannel shirt, Dr. Martens, a yellow Discman with minimum 30 seconds of skip protection, and an all around dour demeanor.” - It was the bit about the yellow Discman that really got me (you’re either the right age where that joke seems meaningful or you’re not), but this is just some good satire all-around. I mean, it   doesn’t   seem at all far-fetched that an eighth grader wo

- Billie Eilish has been one busy lady since releasing her debut album last month. Music critics have repeatedly compared her style and cultural impact to grunge pioneers  Nirvana, and as fate would have it, footage of Billie covering “Smells Like Teen Spirit” last year has surfaced online. Check it out. - Billie Eilish has reacted to Dave Grohl’s comments comparing her to Nirvana, after he stated that she was an authentic rock star that incites the same kind of devoted fandom as his former band.  Speaking to Radio X, Eilish has now reacted to the Foo Fighters frontman’s comments and it’s safe to say she’s pretty pleased with the comparison. She said: “I can’t even believe that. Are you kidding? He said rock isn’t dead because of me. Dude, I grew up on that shit. Huh? Rock? Like, I can’t.”   The singer went on to talk about Dave’s family, adding: “Dave is such a sweetheart and his daughters, I love them. And he’s so good, of course they’re good, ‘cos he’s, fucking, their dad.” T
