    "I was simply blown away when I found that Kurt Cobain liked my work, and have always wanted to talk to him about his reasons for covering ‘The Man Who Sold the World'. It was a good straight forward rendition and sounded somehow very honest. It would have been nice to have worked with him, but just talking with him would have been real cool.”

      I think that came from when he stayed for a while at Jesse Reed's family, a friend from school, who were devoted Christians, he was 17 yo or something at the time. I believe some of that experience ended up in the lyrics of "Lithium". He went along with them to church, but really was looking for an identity. After that I don't think he considered himself religious, but was simply interested in it

    Kathleen Hanna from Bikini Kill wrote "Kurt smells like teen spirit" on his wall.
    The reference was to the fact Kurt was dating Toby Vail (Bikini Kill drummer) at the time and that was a deodorant she used.
    Kurt thought it was some phrophetic play on words when in fact Kathleen was poking fun at the fact that he smelt like her bandmate.
    He wasn't directly inspired by the deodorant brand.

      I already explained what teen spirit was, an indirect reference to tobi.
      In bloom, is about the people he hated (jocks/rednecks) singing their songs and how stupid they were to not realise he was mocking them.
      Polly is about a case he read about a guy that abucted and tortured young girls.
      Stay away was originally titled Pay to play and seems more of state of address of the music scene.
      I don't see it in Territorial pissings, On a plain or Something in the way.
      There's a few I could see an almost direct reference to her but to suggest nearly the whole album is about her is silly.

    I was 17 when Kurt took his own life. I wasn't a fan of the music. I actually dismissed him altogether. However, during the most difficult part of my life at year ago (45), I discovered Nirvana and now have so much respect for his music--I think his lyrics are brilliant. The way he plays with words--brilliant. I am excited to read his published journals. I knew he had constant stomach pain from his back--I also experienced serious GI issues. Yeah, I would have taken anything to make the pain stop. Bi-polar. So many brilliant people, famous and not famous, struggle with this disorder. I am usually a better writer than this, but I, too, have mental health issues that affect me daily. Kurt has helped me through a very personal, indescribable hell. Lithium is my favorite song. Cobain was a genius and a voice of our generation.

    According to Nirvana manager Danny Goldberg in his book, David Geffen was perfectly fine with the way "In Utero" sounded, and at no point the record company hesitated to release it. This rumour was picked up by the media through poor sources around the band, but not from the band or recordlabel itself.
    What in fact happened was that Kurt himself was initially unhappy with the way Albini had mixed in his vocals, therefor asked Scott Litt to remix some of the record

    This is a cool iceberg. I’m 46 and I’ve been a Kurt/Nirvana fan since I was 12. I was never a “cool kid”, but I somehow ended up with the Bleach album when it came out. For a while, I didn’t even know that the Teen Spirit band was the same band who released Bleach lol. For me, all of these could’ve all been just one tier, as I’ve been an obsessed fan for so long that I’ve known all the lore from the beginning. Well, almost…the first time I got internet access - in 1995 - I looked up every Nirvana website I could find and printed out literally everything on it, pictures and all.

    Hi! Thanks for making my iceberg into a video! For explanation on some points:
    - You’re right about god is gay, I had the graffiti in mind
    - I was wrong about Buddhism, I think he was just interested in it
    - Manly chest graffiti refers to a graffitied copy of bleach Kurt owned, it’s in the final picture
    Also could I get credit in the description, I’ve being thinking of making videos about music and a shout-out would be cool :)
    Also great adaption! You explained stuff way better than I did

    Perhaps a Nirvana Iceberg pt2 with corrections, and more information. Perhaps the "Sliver" / "Silver " mistake- and how even though the guys were aware of this frequent mistake probability they still rollled with it.
    They were correct & Silverchair even mistakingly called their band by this mistake. (In fact i think Kurt used it as a way to tell who his deepest fans truly were). Technically they should be SLIVERchair.
    I LOVE that Top of the Pops appearance and what they did. It's 150% worth watching the full performance here on UA-cam too!

As a decades long rocker who cut his teeth on Buddy, 50s, 60s, 70s rock the 90s was really insane. Then we got that Limp Bizkit and company that had catchy tunes but wasn't as Idk lasting or whatever. We need this again. We need a wakeup call. We need Nirvana 2023, AIC 2023, SG 2023 to set the coarse. I see and hear alot of teens into rock listening to these bands and falling in love with this music. Like we did back early 90s. I'm happy they have it but wish they had these types of bands and music for themselves. It's sad. Not saying today's music sucks, saying that we have music that rely on views, subs for their worth. They sing through a computer to sound perfect. That's not why we love grunge, it's cause it's not perfect, it's messy, it's feedback, and it's talent. We're in a time where clothes and cars matter again. It dont. What matters is the music, not what u wear or drive.

    Can't deal with the "In Utero" pronunciation, (and the common boo-boo of "SLIVER" being called "Silver" but so far other than those little nit picky things I noticed, I'm still enjoying/appreciating the video.
    Got some good stuff for younger fans who probably missed most this stuff.
    (Though those of us that were young teens in their original heyday in real time, that are also big fans, are familiar with all the info. However it's nice to see younger generations catching on to this info. )
    Also there's some incorrect stuff about "Kurt smells like teen spirit" that was Kathleen Hannah (Bikini Kill) that wrote that. It wasn't a direct obsession with the brand.
    Great job despite the mis-pronunciation(s).
