In September 1991 the company GDC Records released the album "Nevermind" of Nirvana, one of the most celebrated albums of the past 20 years. But most of what people know about this album - not true, or at least, not entirely true. We present the facts provided to us Kurt Cobain biographer Charles R. Cross.
Myth Number 1: "Nevermind" was the original name proposed by Kurt Cobain
The original plan was to name the album Sheep (Sheep), and among the entries Cobain was found a page with advertisements painted the album, with the inscription "Sheep: Because you want to not, because everyone else is," (Sheep: because all they are, and you do not want to) and the subtitle "Abort Christ" (Christos Cancel). This idea was left at the end of 1990.
Myth Number 2: "Nevermind" was recorded in 1991
In fact, Nirvana recorded the album twice. Recording began in April 1991 with producer Butch Vig, and very reminiscent of the recording, which took place in 1990. In 1990, they recorded eight songs, five of which were included in the album. The main difference is the drummer, and in 1991 participated in the recording is Dave Grohl.
Myth Number 3: Dave Grohl has participated in the recording of all songs on the album
Vig was himself a drummer, and had a strong influence on the party Grohl and sound in the songs "Smells Like Teen Spirit", "Drain You" and "Something in the Way". But in the song "Polly" is a drummer Chad Channing. This track is not copied, and he went into the album in its original form. Channing is not mentioned among the founders of the album and did not get money for it.
Myth No. 4: "Smells Like Teen Spirit" - a song about deodorant
All believe that Cobain wrote this line of deodorant. And it's almost true. His girlfriend, frontman of the band Bikini Kill Kathleen Hanna really wrote "Kurt smells like Teen Spirit" on Cobain's bedroom wall. Even after the release, Kurt Cobain found out that there is a deodorant called Teen Spirit. The song was about graffiti, and not about deodorant. And, of course, deodorant sales soared after the release.
Myth Number 5: Nirvana recorded the demo "Smells Like Teen Spirit" on the tape to prove that they have hit
For the first time Nirvana recorded the song on a tape recorder during a rehearsal, and although even then the group liked the riff, no one could say that the song becomes a hit. The real reason for writing the songs on the tape, according to Dave Grohl, was that the musicians began to forget the party. The film begins with the words Cobain: "Hi, Butch. We have a new drummer, his name is Dave Grohl, and he is the coolest drummer in the world. "
Myth No. 6: All text in this album on drugs
Some songs do have a reference to the subject of drugs, but the muse Cobain was not so simple, and its total addiction started just after the album's release. Most of the texts devoted to his friends, neighbors or girls. Initially, even Kurt wanted to share the album with "male" and "feminine" side. In the women's side had to be songs like "Teen Spirit," "Drain You" and "Lounge Act," dedicated to Cobain's unrequited love, and the male part - songs like "In Bloom," which was written for his best friend Dylan Carlson.
Myth No. 7: The Cover concept belongs to Kurt Cobain
At first, Kurt wanted to cover the baby's head was appearing out of the vagina during labor, but that his idea is not missed. Photo naked baby floating in the pool, was only a backup plan.
Myth No. 8: "Nevermind" instantly made Cobain's rich
The fact that Cobain became a millionaire after the album's release - a common misconception. The album went gold only a month later, and the majority of sales are for 1992 and subsequent years. Most record companies pay income twice a year, and payment for the sale comes only a few months. As a result, in 1991, Cobain did not earn very little. The first night after recording Cobain returned home and discovered that he was evicted. He slept in the car while the record company prepared the edition of the album, which was subsequently sold 25 million copies.
