Cobain: I guess we'll count down the New Year now, ready?
Novoselic: So we have to do the countdown
Cobain: Three minutes! I have to stall for three minutes? Two?
Novoselic: Why did ... why did you flip me off?
Cobain: Let's drop down to Times Square
Grohl: I can do a drum solo! OK here it goes, ready?
Novoselic: Let me tune up
Cobain: Ten, nine, eight, seven, sex, five, four, three twoo, one! Ladies and Gentlemen Pauly Shore! Happy New Year!
Grohl: Hey, it's just like a Grateful Dead show, alright! Have a Gerry Christmas and a happy new Wear! I met Eddie Van Halen last night, he was drunk as shit! Hey Bobcat, come give me a hug, give me a hug!

NIRVANA Live At Reading
I watched Live At Reading 1992 again, and I just gotta say that it makes me speechless everytime. They fucking rocked. If you want to see Nirvana at their best, watch this dvd.

Guitar World interview, 1992
GW: Considering how violently you play the guitar. I have to assume you use pretty heavy-duty strings.
Kurt: Yeah. And I keep blowing up amplifiers, so I use whatever I can find at junk shops-junk is always best.
GW: What was the last amp you blew up?
Kurt: A Crown power amp that was intended for use as a PA, but which I used for a guitar's head because I can never find an amp that's powerful enough-and because I don't want to have to deal with hauling 10 Marshall heads. I'm lazy-I like to have it all in one package. For a preamp I have a Mesa/Boogie, and I turn all the mid-range up. And I use Radio Shack speakers.
GW: How reliable is this setup? It doesn't seem like it would be that durable, especially in view of all the touring you do.
Kurt: It works out okay. The sound changes with every club we play in, but I'm never satisfied. I think the sound I get is mainly a result of the Roland EF-1 distortion box I use. I go through about five a tour.
GW: Ever get the urge to use a twang bar?
Kurt: No. Anybody that plays guitar knows that only Jimi Hendrix was able to use the standard tremolo and still keep it in tune. Those things are totally worthless. I do have one on a Japanses Strat, but I don't use it.
GW: Your first album, Bleach, was recorded for $600; how much did Nevermind run you?
Kurt: [laughs] I don't remember, I've got Alzheimer's. Please don't ask us how much our video cost; that's a hell of an embarrassment. We definitely could have used some film student, who would've done just as good of a job.

From the Muddy Banks Of Wishkah liner notes
Nirvana started as a live band (Don’t all bands?). We played around for two years before the release of Bleach in June, 1989. At the time, Live shows were our bread and butter (this being prior to the release of Nevermind in September of 1991). We’d hit the road for months at a time… coming back with one or two grand… to be split three ways. In those days, that was as much...
