Classic Albums - Nirvana: Nevermind

There possibly isn't an album in history that is as genre defining as NIRVANA's "Nevermind." Released in 1991, it single-handedly was responsible for the birth of what became to be known as grunge and has gone on to sell over 8 million copies in the US alone.

"Nevermind" was the second album from the Seattle trio and the first on the DGC label (it's predecessor "Bleach" was released on the Sub Pop label). It was produced by Butch Vig (also the drummer for the band Garbage) and mixed by Andy Wallace.

Nirvana's surviving members Krist Novoselic (bass) and Dave Grohl (drums) talk candidly about their past, the recording of Nevermind and about Kurt Cobain and the legacy that he has left behind. Also featured are exclusive interviews with the likes of Garry Gersh (A&R DGC Records), Butch Vig, Jonathan Ponneman and Nils Bernstein (Sub Pop Records), Thurston Moore (Sonic Youth), Jack Endino, and many more.

Bonus features:
Drain You - the story behind the making of the track.
Going To Record In LA - The story behind why the band recorded Nevermind in LA.
Dave Grohl Joins Nirvana - The story of how Dave Grohl came to join Nirvana.
Polly (Live) - Polly live in concert.
Nevermind - The Album Sleeve - The story of the album cover including interviews with the cover star.

It's a classic alright

I don't think there is anyone who was alive in 1991 who didn't here Smells Like Teen Spirit and get automatically drawn into it but the entire album is awesome. There aren't many CD's that you can put in and just let it play through but this is definitely one of those. The DVD us great on it's...

nevermind

This dvd is a great buy, not only does it take you through the making of the album NEVERMIND, but also through the history of nirvana and how it came to be. From recording the huge hit "smells like teen spirit" to recording the masterpiece "polly", this dvd has it all.

Kurt isn't here, but he'll always be here...

Without Cobain to interview afresh for this release the producers have had to cobble together old interview footage. And this is part of the tragedy of the situation because I for one would love to be able to hear what a grown up and more mature Cobain would of said about the album he is most...

This is a boring DOCUMENTARY, NOT a music DVD.

BE CAREFUL! When you first look at this DVD you think you are buying a great music DVD. This is a boring "DOCUMENTARY". Do NOT expect to find any video listed in the DVD. I really do NOT recommend it.

Great documentary about Nevermind.

This is a very enjoyable documentary perfect for any Nirvana fan. It talks about everything from types of guitars used on certain tracks, to where the cover photo idea came from. Fun to watch.

Like Butch Vig Analysis, Needs More

Was most interested in Butch Vig's track by track (track as in recording tracks, not album tracks) analysis of the album. Would've liked to have seen more of that, rather than just people talking about the album.

Nirvana: nevermind

I am a bit disillusioned because it is not the album, it is only the history

Witness history in the making

A look back at the making of the greatest album of all time, featuring interviews with former band members (excluding Kurt of course), rolling stone editors, record company executives and A&R guys and of course legendary producer Butch Vig. Interesting that Vig had no idea he would be in control...
